You can switch the cluster/configuration context using the following command:
[desk@cli] $kubectl config use-context dev
Context:
A CIS Benchmark tool was run against the kubeadm created cluster and found multiple issues that must be addressed.
Task:
Fix all issues via configuration and restart the affected components to ensure the new settings take effect.
Fix all of the following violations that were found against the API server:
1.2.7authorization-modeargument is not set toAlwaysAllow FAIL
1.2.8authorization-modeargument includesNode FAIL
1.2.7authorization-modeargument includesRBAC FAIL
Fix all of the following violations that were found against the Kubelet:
4.2.1 Ensure that theanonymous-auth argumentis set to false FAIL
4.2.2authorization-modeargument is not set to AlwaysAllow FAIL (UseWebhookautumn/authz where possible)
Fix all of the following violations that were found against etcd:
2.2 Ensure that theclient-cert-authargument is set to true

Enable audit logs in the cluster, To Do so, enable the log backend, and ensure that
1. logs are stored at /var/log/kubernetes/kubernetes-logs.txt.
2. Log files are retained for 5 days.
3. at maximum, a number of 10 old audit logs files are retained.
Edit and extend the basic policy to log:
1. Cronjobs changes at RequestResponse
2. Log the request body of deployments changes in the namespace kube-system.
3. Log all other resources in core and extensions at the Request level.
4. Don't log watch requests by the "system:kube-proxy" on endpoints or

Before Making any changes build the Dockerfile with tag base:v1
Now Analyze and edit the given Dockerfile(based on ubuntu 16:04)
Fixing two instructions present in the file, Check from Security Aspect and Reduce Size point of view.
Dockerfile:
FROM ubuntu:latest
RUN apt-get update -y
RUN apt install nginx -y
COPY entrypoint.sh /
RUN useradd ubuntu
ENTRYPOINT ["/entrypoint.sh"]
USER ubuntu
entrypoint.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo "Hello from CKS"
After fixing the Dockerfile, build the docker-image with the tag base:v2
To Verify:Check the size of the image before and after the build.

Create a network policy named allow-np, that allows pod in the namespace staging to connect to port 80 of other pods in the same namespace.
Ensure that Network Policy:-
1. Does not allow access to pod not listening on port 80.
2. Does not allow access from Pods, not in namespace staging.

A container image scanner is set up on the cluster.
Given an incomplete configuration in the directory
/etc/Kubernetes/confcontrol and a functional container image scanner with HTTPS endpoint https://acme.local.8081/image_policy
1. Enable the admission plugin.
2. Validate the control configuration and change it to implicit deny.
Finally, test the configuration by deploying the pod having the image tag as the latest.

Secrets stored in the etcd is not secure at rest, you can use the etcdctl command utility to find the secret value
for e.g:-
