Security Configuration Overview

Based on the shared security responsibility model, CCE safeguards the master nodes in a cluster and CCE components, and provides a series of hierarchical security capabilities at the cluster and container levels. Users are responsible for the security of cluster nodes and comply with the security best practices provided by CCE to perform security configuration and O&M.

CCE Application Scenarios

CCE is a container service built on popular Docker and Kubernetes technologies and offers a wealth of features best suited to enterprises' demand for running container clusters at scale. With unique advantages in system reliability, performance, and compatibility with open-source communities, CCE can suit the diverse needs of enterprises interested in building container clouds.

CCE provides a function list and typical application scenarios. For details about the function list, see Function Overview. For details about the application scenarios, see Application Scenarios.

Exception Scenarios

You are not advised to use clusters in scenarios that require strong resource isolation. CCE provides tenants with a dedicated, exclusive cluster. Currently, resources such as nodes and networks are not strictly isolated. If no strict security protection measures are available, security risks exist when the cluster is used by multiple external uncontrollable users at the same time. For example, in a development pipeline scenario, when multiple users are allowed to use the pipeline, the service code logic of different users is uncontrollable, and the cluster and services in the cluster may be attacked.

Enabling HSS

Host Security Service (HSS) provides host management, risk prevention, intrusion detection, advanced defense, security operations, and web page anti-tamper functions to comprehensively identify and manage information assets on hosts, monitor risks on hosts in real time, and prevent unauthorized intrusions. You are advised to enable HSS to protect hosts in CCE clusters. For details about HSS and how to use it, see HSS.
