Description:

Applies a hardened SecurityContext to the OpenstackProvisionServer containers. This SecurityContext makes sure that it runs as non root, does not allow privilege escalation, read only root file system, drops all capabilities. Also created emptyDir scratch volumes for the paths that still need to be writable.
The provision server container uses hostnetwork SCC which disallows using SeccompProfile.

Review Change Stack

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security
    • Hardened provisioning and checksum-discovery containers with restricted security settings.
    • Added writable scratch storage while retaining read-only root filesystems.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Updated Apache configuration to store its process ID in a writable temporary location.
    • Improved compatibility for HTTP server configuration updates under hardened runtime settings.

Walkthrough

The provisioning server now applies restricted security contexts, uses writable scratch volumes with a read-only root filesystem, and stores the Apache PID file in /tmp.

Changes

Provisioning server hardening

Layer / File(s) Summary
Security and storage primitives
internal/openstackprovisionserver/securitycontext.go, internal/openstackprovisionserver/volumes.go
Added a hardened security context and emptyDir scratch volumes.
Writable mounts and HTTPD configuration
internal/openstackprovisionserver/volumes.go, templates/openstackprovisionserver/config/httpd.conf
Added /tmp and /etc/httpd/conf mounts. Apache now writes its PID file to /tmp/httpd.pid.
Container security wiring
internal/openstackprovisionserver/deployment.go, internal/openstackprovisionserver/initcontainer.go, internal/openstackprovisionserver/job.go
Applied the hardened security context to the HTTPD, discovery, init, and checksum containers. Removed the init container’s Privileged field usage.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Suggested reviewers: hjensas, stuggi

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 41ff9

The security hardening change may leave provision-server containers running without the intended runtime Seccomp restrictions, weakening container isolation on affected clusters. This should be corrected before merging.

The logs suggest that the test failure is because of flaky CI, so I am going to recheck it.

This is kind of odd but ok. We should probably add RestrictiveReadOnlySecurityContext() in lib-common to get rid of this in a followup.
