Helm Chart Operations

!!! info "Directory Inventory" See the Operations Directory Inventory for a complete listing of files and resources in this directory.

Overview

This section provides guidance on operational aspects of the Secure Kubernetes Container Scanning Helm charts, including troubleshooting, performance optimization, and maintenance procedures.

Operational Documentation

The operations documentation is organized into the following sections:

  • Troubleshooting: Solutions for common issues encountered with the Helm charts
  • Performance: Guidance for optimizing performance of container scanning operations
  • Maintenance: Procedures for maintaining and updating the scanning infrastructure

Operational Considerations

Installation Verification

After installing the Helm charts, verify successful deployment:

# Check infrastructure components
kubectl get all -n scanning-namespace -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=scanner-infrastructure

# Verify RBAC configuration
kubectl get serviceaccount,role,rolebinding -n scanning-namespace -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=scanner-infrastructure

# Test accessibility to target pods
./kubernetes-scripts/generate-kubeconfig.sh scanning-namespace inspec-scanner ./kubeconfig.yaml
KUBECONFIG=./kubeconfig.yaml kubectl get pods -n scanning-namespace

Monitoring Scanning Operations

Monitor scanning operations for issues:

# Check scanner logs
kubectl logs -n scanning-namespace scanner-pod -c scanner

# Monitor scan results
kubectl exec -n scanning-namespace scanner-pod -c scanner -- ls -la /results

# Check for error conditions
kubectl exec -n scanning-namespace scanner-pod -c scanner -- grep -i error /results/scan-results.json

Regular Maintenance Tasks

Regular maintenance tasks include:

  1. Token Rotation: Regularly rotate service account tokens
  2. RBAC Updates: Update RBAC permissions as needed for new pods
  3. Chart Updates: Upgrade Helm charts to latest versions
  4. Profile Updates: Keep compliance profiles up to date
  5. Security Patches: Apply security patches to scanner images
