Event Information

​
Meaning

  • The System user interactive event in a Kubernetes cluster refers to an event where a system user, such as root or an administrator, interacts with the cluster.
  • This event could indicate potential security risks, as system users typically have elevated privileges and their actions should be closely monitored.
  • To investigate this event, you can use the kubectl get pods command to list all the pods in the cluster and check for any suspicious activities or unauthorized access by system users.

​
Remediation

To remediate the event “System user interactive” using the Python Kubernetes API, you can follow these steps:

  1. Identify the affected pod:

    • Use the kubectl get pods command to list all the pods in the cluster.
    • Look for the pod that triggered the “System user interactive” event.
    • Note down the name of the pod.

  2. Create a Kubernetes manifest file to update the pod:

    • Use the kubectl get pod <pod-name> -o yaml > pod.yaml command to export the current pod configuration to a YAML file.
    • Open the pod.yaml file and make the necessary changes to remediate the event.
    • For example, you can modify the securityContext section to restrict interactive access by setting runAsNonRoot: true and allowPrivilegeEscalation: false.

  3. Apply the updated manifest file:

    • Use the Python Kubernetes API to apply the updated manifest file.
    • Load the pod.yaml file using the yaml module in Python.
    • Use the create_namespaced_pod or patch_namespaced_pod method to apply the changes to the pod.
    • Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to modify the pod.

Note: Make sure to test the changes in a non-production environment before applying them to production.
