Operating System Security Requirements
Operators have specific requirements for the operating systems that they run. Whether that's the OS version (Windows versions, Linux distributions, etc.) and customizations that are unique to them. E.g., installing agents for data collection or security. E.g., disabling services, configuring services like SSH, subsystems like DNS, etc.
The data platform needs to allow these customizations to be applied and maintained when deploying. Whether that is operator-selected machine images, operator-selected container platforms, or installing operator-provided.
Operator Inputs
- BP: Permit custom security policies / modules in the OS builds that are deployed in the CSP
- BP: Permit specific agents (e.g., Azure) loaded into OS builds that are deployed.
- Noble Energy: Windows 10, Windows 2019 Server, Centos and Oracle Linux. Pre-fer kernel 7 for driver support.
