Secure Kubernetes AMIs for HIPAA/PCI Compliance

Kubernetes Kops is an amazing way to deploy Kubernetes on AWS. It is simple, easy to customize and relatively stable. However, we have customers using Kubernetes for Healthcare and Financial tasks we decided to take the underlying AMIs and harden them to get closer to PCI and HIPPA compliance. We still have a way to make it more standardized, but we want to release it now so you can get your hands on it.

While we have no aspiration of being CoreOS we do think that having secure images available to everyone is beneficial especially as security become ever more important on the internet. We intend to update frequently with regular updates to make it easier for everyone to get started using secure images.

The current version pulls the stable image of the image used by Kubernetes Kops and adds a few things to the base image such as file system integrity check with OSSEC. We hope to harden the underlying image even more with additional security such as package checking via Appcanary, providing different HIPPA/PCI compliant logging providers, and 2FA.

Stay tuned.
