cluster-acs Cluster Chart : Advanced Cluster Security (Stackrox)

Artifacthub

This helm chart is used to deploy Advanced Cluster Security (ACS/Stackrox) handled by an operator to configure cluster security scanning and vulnerability management at the cluster level.

This chart is part of the cluster-xxx startx helm chart series that doesn’t necessarily deploy pods but rather represent a cluster configuration state orchestrated by gitops tools like ArgoCD.

Requirements and guidelines

Read the startx helm-repository homepage for more information on how to use theses resources.

Deploy this helm chart on openshift

1. Connect to your Openshift cluster

2. Install the repository

helm repo add startx https://helm-repository.readthedocs.io/en/latest/repos/stable/

3. Get information about this chart

helm show chart startx/cluster-acs

4. Install this chart

Default values

Complete deployment of a project with the following characteristics :

  • 1 project: named open-security-management with the following properties
  • 1 LimitRange: defined for this project
  • 1 Quotas: defined for this project
  • 3 RBAC: allowing mygroup_example to edit resources
  • 1 operator: named rhacs-operator configured with
  • The rhacs-4.9 channel

# base configuration running default configuration
helm install cluster-acs startx/cluster-acs

Others values availables

  • startx : Startx ACS cluster wide service configuration using startx group (dev, devops and ops) (see values.yaml)
helm install cluster-acs startx/cluster-acs -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/startxfr/helm-repository/master/charts/cluster-acs/values-startx.yaml

ArgoCD deployment

Deploy via ArgoCD Application

Deploy cluster-acs using three dedicated ArgoCD Applications - one per concern - all sharing the same AppProject. The ACS operator installs in the shared openshift-operators namespace. The Central CR deploys in startx-acs:

git clone https://gitlab.com/startx1/helm.git
cd helm-repository/charts/cluster-acs/examples/argocd/
oc apply -k .

The automated sync policy ensures ArgoCD reconciles each concern independently whenever the chart or values drift from the desired state.
