Access & Security

Overview

The Access & Security section in KubeDNA provides users with the tools and information needed to securely connect to and manage their Kubernetes clusters. This page ensures that users follow best practices for accessing their clusters while maintaining a strong security posture.

Accessing Your Kubernetes Cluster

To securely access your Kubernetes cluster, two key files are required:

1. VPN Configuration (VPN Config)

2. Kube-config File

Downloading the Files

• Both the VPN Config and Kubeconfig files can be downloaded from the Master Access section.

• These files are packaged in a zipped file and protected with a password for added security.

Password Security

• The password for the zipped file is automatically generated and sent to your registered email address.

• Ensure that you keep this email secure, as it contains the necessary credentials to access your cluster.

Connectivity Information

Users will need the following connectivity details:

• VPN Server: The server address for establishing a secure VPN connection.

• NAT Gateway: The gateway address for network address translation.

• Inbound IP: The external IP address for inbound traffic.

Firewall Rules

To access the VPN and, consequently, the Kubernetes cluster, users must configure firewall rules:

1. Navigate to the Firewall Rules section in the interface.

2. Add rules that explicitly allow your IP address or the IP ranges that need access.

3. KubeDNA follows a Zero Trust Security Model, meaning:

   • All traffic is denied by default.

   • Only explicitly allowed IPs can access the VPN.

Adding Firewall Rules

• Click the Add Firewall Rule button to create a new rule.

• Specify the IP or IP range you want to grant access to.

• Modify or delete existing rules as needed using the provided options.

Benefits of Secure Access with KubeDNA

• Password-Protected Credentials: Adds an extra layer of security by ensuring only authorized users have access.

• Zero Trust Security: Minimizes exposure by enforcing strict access rules.

• Simplified Configuration: Easily manage VPN access and firewall rules via the intuitive interface.

Conclusion

KubeDNA’s Access & Security feature ensures that accessing your Kubernetes clusters is both secure and user-friendly. By providing password-protected credentials, strict firewall rules, and zero-trust security principles, KubeDNA helps maintain a high level of operational security for your infrastructure.
