Enabling Container Cluster Protection

Container cluster protection can detect risks in baselines, vulnerabilities, and malicious files; and can report alarms on or block insecure container images. You can enable protection to enhance cluster defense and protect containers.

Constraints

After container cluster protection is enabled, you need to configure a policy to make the protection take effect. For more information, see Configuring a Container Cluster Protection Policy.

Enabling Container Cluster Protection

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. In the upper left corner of the page, select a region, click , and choose Security & Compliance > HSS.
  1. In the navigation pane, choose Container Cluster Protection.
  2. Click the Protected Clusters tab.
  3. Click Synchronize to synchronize clusters.
  4. Click Enable in the Operation column of a cluster.

    To enable protection for clusters in batches, select clusters and click Enable Protection in the upper left corner of the cluster list.

    • After container cluster protection is enabled for a cluster, the policy management plug-in will be installed in the cluster and occupy some cluster resources.
    • When enabling protection for a container cluster, do not perform any operation on the cluster. Otherwise, protection will fail to be enabled.

  5. Click OK.

    If the Protection Status of the container cluster is Enabled but not configured, it indicates protection has been configured for the cluster and the policy management plug-in has been installed, but HSS has not started to protect your cluster. In this case, you need to configure a protection policy. For more information, see Configuring a Container Cluster Protection Policy.
