Dopo aver importato manualmente un disco virtuale in Compute Engine, devi ottimizzare queste immagini in modo che possano utilizzare le funzionalità specifiche dell'ambiente Compute Engine.
Puoi eseguire l'immagine disco di avvio in Compute Engine senza modifiche aggiuntive, ma puoi anche ottimizzarla ulteriormente in modo che funzioni in modo ottimale in Compute Engine e abbia accesso a tutte le funzionalità di Compute Engine.
Modifica il file ntp.conf in modo da includere solo la voce del server NTP server metadata.google.internal iburst di Google.
Imposta l'MTU DHCP sull'MTU della rete. Il server DHCP di Compute Engine fornisce questo parametro come opzione interface-mtu, rispettata dalla maggior parte dei client. Per ulteriori informazioni sulle MTU di rete, consulta la panoramica delle unità massime di trasmissione.
Rimuovi le regole di rete permanenti per impedire all'istanza di ricordare gli indirizzi MAC. Ad esempio:
rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
Disattiva il firewall del sistema operativo, a meno che tu non abbia requisiti specifici non supportati dalle regole firewall di Compute Engine.
Compute Engine fornisce un firewall per il traffico in entrata e in uscita. Per ulteriori informazioni sui firewall, consulta Panoramica delle regole firewall.
Per garantire una funzionalità di rete e disco ad alte prestazioni, disattiva o rimuovi il daemon irqbalance. Questo daemon non bilancia correttamente le richieste IRQ per i sistemi operativi guest sulle istanze di macchine virtuali (VM). Utilizza invece gli script che fanno parte dell'ambiente guest per bilanciare correttamente le impostazioni IRQ per le CPU virtuali.
Configura l'accesso SSH all'immagine di base:
Disattiva l'accesso SSH root.
Disattiva l'autenticazione tramite password.
Disattiva l'autenticazione basata sull'host.
Attiva il controllo rigoroso delle chiavi host.
Usa ServerAliveInterval per mantenere aperte le connessioni.
Rimuovi le chiavi SSH dall'immagine in modo che altri utenti non possano accedere alle chiavi pubbliche o private al suo interno. Utilizza invece Compute Engine per gestire l'accesso alle istanze.
Modifica il file /etc/ssh/ssh_config per utilizzare la seguente configurazione:
Host *
Protocol 2
ForwardAgent no
ForwardX11 no
HostbasedAuthentication no
StrictHostKeyChecking no
Ciphers aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,arcfour256,arcfour128,aes128-cbc,3des-cbc
Tunnel no
# Compute Engine times out connections after 10 minutes of inactivity.
# Keep alive ssh connections by sending a packet every 7 minutes.
ServerAliveInterval 420
Modifica il file /etc/ssh/sshd_config per utilizzare la seguente configurazione:
# Disable PasswordAuthentication because ssh keys are more secure.
PasswordAuthentication no
# Disable root login. Using sudo provides better auditing.
PermitRootLogin no
PermitTunnel no
AllowTcpForwarding yes
X11Forwarding no
# Compute Engine times out connections after 10 minutes of inactivity.
# Keep alive ssh connections by sending a packet every 7 minutes.
ClientAliveInterval 420
Dopo aver configurato e ottimizzato il disco di avvio su Compute Engine, crea un'immagine da quel disco di avvio in modo da poter creare istanze da una versione completamente ottimizzata dell'immagine anziché dover configurare ogni istanza ogni volta che la crei.
Configura le best practice per la sicurezza
Devi sempre fornire un ambiente del sistema operativo sicuro, ma può essere difficile trovare un equilibrio tra un ambiente sicuro e uno accessibile.
Le macchine virtuali vulnerabili agli attacchi possono utilizzare risorse costose. Google consiglia vivamente di rispettare le seguenti best practice per la sicurezza delle immagini:
Riduci al minimo la quantità di software installato per impostazione predefinita (ad esempio, esegui un'installazione minima del sistema operativo).
Abilita gli aggiornamenti automatici.
Disattiva per impostazione predefinita tutti i servizi di rete, ad eccezione di SSH, DHCP e NTPD.
Puoi consentire l'esecuzione di un server di posta, come Postfix, se accetta solo connessioni da localhost.
Non consentire porte di ascolto esterne, ad eccezione di SSHD.
Installa il pacchetto denyhosts per contribuire a impedire i tentativi di accesso forzato SSH.
Rimuovi dall'installazione predefinita tutti gli account non utente non necessari.
In /etc/passwd, imposta la shell di tutti gli account non utente su /sbin/nologin o /usr/sbin/nologin (a seconda di dove il sistema operativo ha installato nologin).
Configura il sistema operativo in modo che utilizzi SHA512 con sale per le password in /etc/shadow.
Configura pam_tally in modo da bloccare gli account per 5 minuti dopo 3 tentativi non riusciti.
In /etc/shadow, configura l'account root in modo che sia bloccato per impostazione predefinita. Esegui questo comando per bloccare l'account root:
usermod -L root
Nega il permesso di accesso root in /etc/ssh/sshd_config aggiungendo la seguente riga:
PermitRootLogin no
Crea profili AppArmor o SELinux per tutti i servizi di rete in esecuzione predefiniti.
Se possibile, utilizza le funzionalità del file system per eliminare la necessità del bit S*ID e fornire un controllo più granulare.
Attiva le mitigazioni degli exploit del compilatore e del runtime durante la compilazione di software rivolto alla rete. Ad esempio, ecco alcune delle mitigazioni offerte da GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) e come attivarle:
Stack Smash Protection: attiva questa opzione con -fstack-protector.
Per impostazione predefinita, questa opzione protegge le funzioni con un buffer allocato nello stack più lungo di otto byte. Per aumentare la protezione coprendo le funzioni con buffer di almeno quattro byte, aggiungi --param=ssp-buffer-size=4.
Address space layout randomization (ASLR): attiva questa opzione creando un file eseguibile indipendente dalla posizione con -fPIC -pie.
Protezioni Glibc: attiva queste protezioni con -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2.
Protezione Global Offset Table (GOT): attiva questa funzionalità del loader di runtime con -Wl,-z,relro,-z,now.
Errori di tempo di compilazione per stringhe di formato mancanti: -Wformat -Wformat-security -Werror=format-security
Disattiva CAP_SYS_MODULE, che consente il load e l'unload dei moduli kernel. Per disattivare questa funzionalità, modifica il file /etc/sysctl.conf e includi la seguente impostazione:

To find out when you need to manually\ninstall the guest environment, see\n[when to manually install or update the guest environment](/compute/docs/images/guest-environment#when-to-install).\n\n[Install the guest environment](/compute/docs/images/install-guest-environment)\non the running VM instance you created after\n[manually importing your existing image](/compute/docs/import/import-existing-image).\nTo perform the installation, access the VM instance via SSH with a user\naccount you created before importing it or by\n[interacting with the Serial Console](/compute/docs/instances/interacting-with-serial-console).\n| **Important:** Install the guest environment **after** you have imported your existing image. The guest environment makes configuration changes to the instance that are specific to Compute Engine.\n| **Important:** Failure to install the guest environment on a VM instance created from an imported image results in key features of Compute Engine being unavailable to the instance. For example, you won't be able to use all of the methods for [connecting to Linux instances](/compute/docs/instances/connecting-to-instance), and the instance might be unable to participate in [load balancing](/compute/docs/load-balancing) configurations.\n\nConfigure your imported image for Compute Engine\n\nYou can run your boot disk image in Compute Engine without\nadditional changes, but you can also further optimize the image so that it runs\noptimally within Compute Engine and has access to all\nCompute Engine features.\n\n- Edit the `ntp.conf` file to include only the\n `server metadata.google.internal iburst` Google NTP server entry.\n\n- Set the timezone to UTC:\n\n ```\n sudo ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC /etc/localtime\n ```\n- To ensure high performance network capability, use the following recommended\n network configurations:\n\n - Use the [ISC DHCP client](http://www.isc.org/downloads/dhcp/).\n - Set the DHCP MTU to the network MTU. The Compute Engine DHCP server serves this parameter as the `interface-mtu` option, which most clients respect. For more information about network MTUs, see the [maximum transmission unit overview](/vpc/docs/mtu).\n - If you don't plan to [configure IPv6\n addresses](/compute/docs/ip-addresses/configure-ipv6-address), disable IPv6.\n - Remove persistent network rules to prevent the instance from remembering\n MAC addresses. For example:\n\n ```\n rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules\n ```\n - Disable the operating system firewall unless you have specific\n requirements not supported by Compute Engine Firewall Rules.\n Compute Engine provides a firewall for\n inbound and outbound traffic. For more information about firewalls, see\n [Firewall rules overview](/vpc/docs/firewalls).\n\n- To ensure high performance network and disk capability, disable or remove\n the `irqbalance` daemon. This daemon does not correctly balance IRQ requests\n for the guest operating systems on virtual machine (VM) instances. Instead,\n use the scripts that are part of the\n [guest environment](#install_guest_environment) to correctly balance\n IRQ settings for virtual CPUs.\n\n- Configure SSH access to the base image:\n\n - Disable root ssh login.\n - Disable password authentication.\n - Disable host-based authentication.\n - Enable strict, host-key checking.\n - Use `ServerAliveInterval` to keep connections open.\n - Remove SSH keys from your image so that others can't access the public\n or private keys in your image. Instead, use Compute Engine to\n [manage access to instances](/compute/docs/instances/managing-instance-access).\n\n - Edit the `/etc/ssh/ssh_config` file to use the following configuration:\n\n ```\n Host *\n Protocol 2\n ForwardAgent no\n ForwardX11 no\n HostbasedAuthentication no\n StrictHostKeyChecking no\n Ciphers aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,arcfour256,arcfour128,aes128-cbc,3des-cbc\n Tunnel no\n\n # Compute Engine times out connections after 10 minutes of inactivity.\n # Keep alive ssh connections by sending a packet every 7 minutes.\n ServerAliveInterval 420\n ```\n - Edit the `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` file to use the following configuration:\n\n ```\n # Disable PasswordAuthentication because ssh keys are more secure.\n PasswordAuthentication no\n\n # Disable root login.

Google strongly recommends that your images comply with the\nfollowing security best practices:\n\n- Minimize the amount of software installed by default (for example, perform a minimal install of the OS).\n- Enable automatic updates.\n- By default, disable all network services except for SSH, DHCP, and NTPD. You can allow a mail server, such as Postfix, to run if it is only accepting connections from localhost.\n- Do not allow externally listening ports except for sshd.\n- Install the [denyhosts](http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/faq.html#1_0) package to help prevent SSH brute-force login attempts.\n- Remove all unnecessary non-user accounts from the default install.\n- In `/etc/passwd`, set the shell of all non-user accounts to `/sbin/nologin` or `/usr/sbin/nologin` (depending on where your OS installed nologin).\n- Configure your OS to use salted SHA512 for passwords in `/etc/shadow`.\n- Set up and configure [pam_cracklib](http://linux.die.net/man/8/pam_cracklib) for strong passwords.\n- Set up and configure [pam_tally](http://linux.die.net/man/8/pam_tally) to lock out accounts for 5 minutes after 3 failures.\n- In `/etc/shadow`, configure the root account to be locked by default. Run\n the following command to lock the root account:\n\n ```\n usermod -L root\n ```\n- Deny root in `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` by adding the following line:\n\n ```\n PermitRootLogin no\n ```\n- Create\n [AppArmor](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/LSM/apparmor.html)\n or\n [SELinux](http://selinuxproject.org/page/Main_Page)\n profiles for all default running network-facing services.\n\n- Use file system capabilities where possible to remove the need for the S\\*ID\n bit and to provide more granular control.\n\n- Enable compiler and runtime exploit mitigations when compiling network-facing\n software. For example, here are some of the mitigations that the\n [GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)](http://gcc.gnu.org/)\n offers and how to enable them:\n\n - Stack smash protection: Enable this with `-fstack-protector`. By default, this option protects functions with a stack-allocated buffer longer than eight bytes. To increase protection by covering functions with buffers of at least four bytes, add `--param=ssp-buffer-size=4`.\n - Address space layout randomization (ASLR): Enable this by building a position-independent executable with `-fPIC -pie`.\n - Glibc protections: Enable these protections with `-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2`.\n - Global Offset Table (GOT) protection: Enable this runtime loader feature with `-Wl,-z,relro,-z,now`.\n - Compile-time errors for missing format strings: `-Wformat -Wformat-security -Werror=format-security`\n- Disable\n [`CAP_SYS_MODULE`](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/capabilities.7.html),\n which allows for loading and unloading of kernel modules. To disable this\n feature, edit the `/etc/sysctl.conf` file and include the following setting:\n\n ```\n kernel.modules_disabled = 1\n ```\n- Remove the\n [kernel symbol table](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System.map):\n\n ```\n sudo rm /boot/System.map\n ```\n\nWhat's next\n\n- After your image is ready for production, [create a final version](/compute/docs/images/create-delete-deprecate-private-images) of that custom image and [include the image in an image family](/compute/docs/images/create-delete-deprecate-private-images#setting_families) so that you can easily manage updated versions of the custom image.\n- Learn how to [start an instance from an image](/compute/docs/instances/creating-and-starting-an-instance#startinginstancwithimage)."]]
