Constraint template library

Constraint templates let you define how a constraint works but delegate defining the specifics of the constraint to an individual or group with subject matter expertise. In addition to separating concerns, this also separates the logic of the constraint from its definition.

All constraints contain a match section, which defines the objects a constraint applies to. For details on how to configure that section, see Constraint match section.

Not all constraint templates are available for all versions of Policy Controller and templates can change between versions. Use the following links to compare constraints from supported versions:

Links to supported versions of this page

To ensure that you receive full support, we recommend that you use constraint templates from a supported version of Policy Controller.

To help you see how the constraint templates function, each template includes an example constraint and a resource that violates the constraint.

Available constraint templates

AsmRequestAuthnProhibitedOutputHeaders In RequestAuthentication, enforce the `jwtRules.outPayloadToHeader` field to not contain well known HTTP request headers or custom prohibited headers. Reference to https://istio.io/latest/docs/reference/config/security/jwt/#JWTRule. No
AsmSidecarInjection Enforce the istio proxy sidecar always been injected to workload pods. No
DestinationRuleTLSEnabled Prohibits disabling TLS for all hosts and host subsets in Istio DestinationRules. No
DisallowedAuthzPrefix Requires that principals and namespaces in Istio `AuthorizationPolicy` rules not have a prefix from a specified list. https://istio.io/latest/docs/reference/config/security/authorization-policy/ No
GCPStorageLocationConstraintV1 Restricts the permitted `locations` for StorageBucket Config Connector resources to the list of locations provided in the constraint. Bucket names in the `exemptions` list are exempt. No
GkeSpotVMTerminationGrace Requires Pods and Pod Templates with `nodeSelector` or `nodeAfffinty` of `gke-spot` to have a `terminationGracePeriodSeconds` of 15s or less. Yes
K8sAllowedRepos Requires container images to begin with a string from the specified list. No
K8sAvoidUseOfSystemMastersGroup Disallows the use of 'system:masters' group. Has no effect during audit. No

K8sBlockCreationWithDefaultServiceAccount Disallows the creation of resources using a default service account. Has no effect during audit. No
K8sBlockEndpointEditDefaultRole Many Kubernetes installations by default have a system:aggregate-to-edit ClusterRole which does not properly restrict access to editing Endpoints. This ConstraintTemplate forbids the system:aggregate-to-edit ClusterRole from granting permission to create/patch/update Endpoints. ClusterRole/system:aggregate-to-edit should not allow Endpoint edit permissions due to CVE-2021-25740, Endpoint & EndpointSlice permissions allow cross-Namespace forwarding, https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/103675 No

K8sHorizontalPodAutoscaler Disallow the following scenarios when deploying `HorizontalPodAutoscalers` 1. Deployment of HorizontalPodAutoscalers with `.spec.minReplicas` or `.spec.maxReplicas` outside the ranges defined in the constraint 2. Deployment of HorizontalPodAutoscalers where the difference between `.spec.minReplicas` and `.spec.maxReplicas` is less than the configured `minimumReplicaSpread` 3. Deployment of HorizontalPodAutoscalers that do not reference a valid `scaleTargetRef` (e.g. Deployment, ReplicationController, ReplicaSet, StatefulSet). Yes
K8sHttpsOnly Requires Ingress resources to be HTTPS only. Ingress resources must include the `kubernetes.io/ingress.allow-http` annotation, set to `false`. By default a valid TLS {} configuration is required, this can be made optional by setting the `tlsOptional` parameter to `true`. https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/ingress/#tls No
K8sImageDigests Requires container images to contain a digest. https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/containers/images/ No
K8sLocalStorageRequireSafeToEvict Requires Pods using local storage (`emptyDir` or `hostPath`) to have the annotation `"cluster-autoscaler.kubernetes.io/safe-to-evict": "true"`. Cluster Autoscaler will not delete Pods without this annotation. No
K8sMemoryRequestEqualsLimit Promotes Pod stability by requiring that all containers' requested memory exactly equals the memory limit, so that Pods are never in a state where memory usage exceeds the requested amount. Otherwise, Kubernetes can terminate Pods requesting extra memory if memory is needed on the node. No
K8sNoEnvVarSecrets Prohibits secrets as environment variables in Pod container definitions. Use mounted secret files in data volumes instead: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/secret/#using-secrets-as-files-from-a-pod No
K8sNoExternalServices Prohibits the creation of known resources that expose workloads to external IPs. This includes Istio Gateway resources and Kubernetes Ingress resources. Kubernetes services are also disallowed unless they meet the following criteria: Any Service of type `LoadBalancer` in Google Cloud must have a `"networking.gke.io/load-balancer-type": "Internal"` annotation. Any Service of type `LoadBalancer` in AWS must have a `service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-internal: "true` annotation. Any "external IPs" (external to the cluster) bound to the Service must be a member of a range of internal CIDRs as provided to the constraint. No

Deployment of PodDisruptionBudgets with .spec.maxUnavailable == 0 2. Deployment of PodDisruptionBudgets with .spec.minAvailable == .spec.replicas of the resource with replica subresource This will prevent PodDisruptionBudgets from blocking voluntary disruptions such as node draining. https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/disruptions/ Yes
K8sPodResourcesBestPractices Requires that containers are not best-effort (by setting cpu and memory requests) and following burstable best practices (memory request must exactly equal limit). Optionally, annotation keys can be configured to permit skipping the various validations. No
K8sPodsRequireSecurityContext Requires all Pods to define securityContext. Requires all containers defined in Pods to have a SecurityContext defined at the Pod or container level. No

K8sReplicaLimits Requires that objects with the field `spec.replicas` (Deployments, ReplicaSets, etc.) specify a number of replicas within defined ranges. No
K8sRequireAdmissionController Requires either Pod Security Admission or an external policy control system Yes
K8sRequireBinAuthZ Requires the Binary Authorization Validating Admission Webhook. Constraints using this `ConstraintTemplate` will be audit only regardless of `enforcementAction` value. Yes
K8sRequireCosNodeImage Enforces the use of Container-Optimized OS from Google on Nodes. No
K8sRequireDaemonsets Requires the list of daemonsets specified to be present. Yes
K8sRequireDefaultDenyEgressPolicy Requires that every namespace defined in the cluster has a default deny NetworkPolicy for egress. Yes
K8sRequireNamespaceNetworkPolicies Requires that every namespace defined in the cluster has a NetworkPolicy. Yes
K8sRequireValidRangesForNetworks Enforces which CIDR blocks are allowed for network ingress and egress. No
K8sRequiredAnnotations Requires resources to contain specified annotations, with values matching provided regular expressions. No
K8sRequiredLabels Requires resources to contain specified labels, with values matching provided regular expressions. No
K8sRequiredProbes Requires Pods to have readiness and/or liveness probes. No

K8sUniqueServiceSelector Requires Services to have unique selectors within a namespace. Selectors are considered the same if they have identical keys and values. Selectors may share a key/value pair so long as there is at least one distinct key/value pair between them. https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#defining-a-service Yes
NoUpdateServiceAccount Blocks updating the service account on resources that abstract over Pods. This policy is ignored in audit mode. No
PolicyStrictOnly Requires that `STRICT` Istio mutual TLS is always specified when using [PeerAuthentication](https://istio.io/latest/docs/reference/config/security/peer_authentication/). This constraint also ensures that the deprecated [Policy](https://istio.io/v1.4/docs/reference/config/security/istio.authentication.v1alpha1/#Policy) and MeshPolicy resources enforce `STRICT` mutual TLS. See: https://istio.io/latest/docs/tasks/security/authentication/mtls-migration/#lock-down-mutual-tls-for-the-entire-mesh No
RestrictNetworkExclusions Controls which inbound ports, outbound ports, and outbound IP ranges can be excluded from Istio network capture. Ports and IP ranges that bypass Istio network capture are not handled by the Istio proxy and are not subject to Istio mTLS authentication, authorization policy, and other Istio features. This constraint can be used to apply restrictions to the use of the following annotations: * `traffic.sidecar.istio.io/excludeInboundPorts` * `traffic.sidecar.istio.io/excludeOutboundPorts` * `traffic.sidecar.istio.io/excludeOutboundIPRanges` See https://istio.io/latest/docs/reference/config/annotations/. When restricting outbound IP ranges, the constraint calculates whether excluded IP ranges match or are a subset of the allowed IP range exclusions. When using this constraint all inbound ports, outbound ports and outbound IP ranges must always be included by either setting the corresponding "include" annotations to `"*"` or leaving them unset. Setting any of the following annotations to anything other than `"*"` is not allowed: * `traffic.sidecar.istio.io/includeInboundPorts` * `traffic.sidecar.istio.io/includeOutboundPorts` * `traffic.sidecar.istio.io/includeOutboundIPRanges` This constraint always allows port 15020 to be excluded because the Istio sidecar injector always adds it to the `traffic.sidecar.istio.io/excludeInboundPorts` annotation so that it can be used for health checking. No
SourceNotAllAuthz Requires that Istio AuthorizationPolicy rules have source principals set to something other than "*". https://istio.io/latest/docs/reference/config/security/authorization-policy/ No
VerifyDeprecatedAPI Verifies deprecated Kubernetes APIs to ensure all the API versions are up to date. This template does not apply to audit as audit looks at the resources which are already present in the cluster with non-deprecated API versions. No

Referential Constraint

This constraint is referential. Prior to use, you must enable referential constraints and create a config that tells Policy Controller what kinds of objects to watch.

Your Policy Controller Config will require a syncOnly entry similar to:

spec:
  sync:
    syncOnly:
      - group: "security.istio.io"
        version: "v1beta1"

Referential Constraint

This constraint is referential. Prior to use, you must enable referential constraints and create a config that tells Policy Controller what kinds of objects to watch.

Your Policy Controller Config will require a syncOnly entry similar to:

spec:
  sync:
    syncOnly:
      - group: ""
        version: "v1"
        kind: "Node"

Disallow the following scenarios when deploying HorizontalPodAutoscalers 1. Deployment of HorizontalPodAutoscalers with .spec.minReplicas or .spec.maxReplicas outside the ranges defined in the constraint 2. Deployment of HorizontalPodAutoscalers where the difference between .spec.minReplicas and .spec.maxReplicas is less than the configured minimumReplicaSpread 3. Deployment of HorizontalPodAutoscalers that do not reference a valid scaleTargetRef (e.g. Deployment, ReplicationController, ReplicaSet, StatefulSet).

Referential Constraint

This constraint is referential. Prior to use, you must enable referential constraints and create a config that tells Policy Controller what kinds of objects to watch.

Your Policy Controller Config will require a syncOnly entry similar to:

spec:
  sync:
    syncOnly:
      - group: "apps"
        version: "v1"
        kind: "Deployment"
      OR
      - group: "apps"
        version: "v1"
        kind: "StatefulSet"

K8sNoExternalServices

No External Services v1.0.3

Prohibits the creation of known resources that expose workloads to external IPs. This includes Istio Gateway resources and Kubernetes Ingress resources. Kubernetes services are also disallowed unless they meet the following criteria: Any Service of type LoadBalancer in Google Cloud must have a "networking.gke.io/load-balancer-type": "Internal" annotation. Any Service of type LoadBalancer in AWS must have a service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-internal: "true annotation. Any "external IPs" (external to the cluster) bound to the Service must be a member of a range of internal CIDRs as provided to the constraint.

K8sPodDisruptionBudget

Pod Disruption Budget v1.0.3

Disallow the following scenarios when deploying PodDisruptionBudgets or resources that implement the replica subresource (e.g. Deployment, ReplicationController, ReplicaSet, StatefulSet): 1. Deployment of PodDisruptionBudgets with .spec.maxUnavailable == 0 2. Deployment of PodDisruptionBudgets with .spec.minAvailable == .spec.replicas of the resource with replica subresource This will prevent PodDisruptionBudgets from blocking voluntary disruptions such as node draining. https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/disruptions/

Referential Constraint

This constraint is referential. Prior to use, you must enable referential constraints and create a config that tells Policy Controller what kinds of objects to watch.

Your Policy Controller Config will require a syncOnly entry similar to:

spec:
  sync:
    syncOnly:
      - group: "policy"
        version: "v1"
        kind: "PodDisruptionBudget"

RestrictNetworkExclusions

Restrict Network Exclusions v1.0.2

Controls which inbound ports, outbound ports, and outbound IP ranges can be excluded from Istio network capture. Ports and IP ranges that bypass Istio network capture are not handled by the Istio proxy and are not subject to Istio mTLS authentication, authorization policy, and other Istio features. This constraint can be used to apply restrictions to the use of the following annotations:

  • traffic.sidecar.istio.io/excludeInboundPorts
  • traffic.sidecar.istio.io/excludeOutboundPorts
  • traffic.sidecar.istio.io/excludeOutboundIPRanges

See https://istio.io/latest/docs/reference/config/annotations/.

When restricting outbound IP ranges, the constraint calculates whether excluded IP ranges match or are a subset of the allowed IP range exclusions.

When using this constraint all inbound ports, outbound ports and outbound IP ranges must always be included by either setting the corresponding "include" annotations to "*" or leaving them unset. Setting any of the following annotations to anything other than "*" is not allowed:

  • traffic.sidecar.istio.io/includeInboundPorts
  • traffic.sidecar.istio.io/includeOutboundPorts
  • traffic.sidecar.istio.io/includeOutboundIPRanges

This constraint always allows port 15020 to be excluded because the Istio sidecar injector always adds it to the traffic.sidecar.istio.io/excludeInboundPorts annotation so that it can be used for health checking.
