How to run kube-bench in my cluster?

First, you have to exec in Deckhouse Pod:

kubectl -n d8-system exec -ti svc/deckhouse-leader -c deckhouse -- bash

Then you have to select which node you want to run kube-bench.

  • Run on random node:

    curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aquasecurity/kube-bench/main/job.yaml | kubectl create -f -

  • Run on specific node, e.g. control-plane node:

    curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aquasecurity/kube-bench/main/job.yaml | kubectl apply -f - --dry-run=client -o json | jq '.spec.template.spec.tolerations=[{"operator": "Exists"}] | .spec.template.spec.nodeSelector={"node-role.kubernetes.io/control-plane": ""}' | kubectl create -f -

Then you can check report:

kubectl logs job.batch/kube-bench
