|
|
||
| =================== | ||
| Test Pod Privileges | ||
| =================== | ||
| The test-operator follows security best practices by applying a restricted | ||
| security profile to all test pods by default. This section describes the | ||
| defaults and when you might need to change them. | ||
|
|
||
| Default Security Profile | ||
| ======================== | ||
|
|
||
| Every test pod runs with the following restrictions: | ||
|
|
||
| * **Seccomp**: A :code:`RuntimeDefault` profile filters system calls at the | ||
| kernel level. | ||
|
|
||
| * **Privilege escalation**: Disabled processes cannot gain more privileges | ||
| than their parent. | ||
|
|
||
| * **Root filesystem**: Read-only containers cannot modify their own binaries | ||
| or write to unexpected locations. | ||
|
|
||
| * **Capabilities**: All capabilities are dropped. | ||
|
|
||
| * **SELinux level**: Not set by default. Only needed for privileged | ||
| workflows that write to shared PVCs. | ||
|
|
||
| When to Use Privileged Mode | ||
| =========================== | ||
|
|
||
| .. important:: | ||
| Leave :code:`privileged: false` unless your tests specifically require it. | ||
|
|
||
| Set :code:`privileged: true` on the CR spec when your tests need capabilities | ||
| that the default profile blocks. The two capabilities added in privileged mode | ||
| are: | ||
|
|
||
| * :code:`NET_ADMIN` allows modifying network configuration such as routing | ||
| tables, interfaces, and firewall rules. | ||
|
|
||
| * :code:`NET_RAW` allows raw socket access for tools like :code:`ping` and | ||
| :code:`tcpdump`. | ||
|
|
||
| Privileged mode is also required when Tempest installs additional RPMs at | ||
| runtime via :code:`extraRPMs`, since that needs a writable root filesystem. |
