- Ensure to leverage use of a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module to secure VA sensitive data on servers and workstations that utilize Helm where applicable.
- Helm is an application manager for Kubernetes. Kubernetes is currently in a divest status on the One-VA TRM pending the development of a secure configuration baseline.
- The product is an open source solution. While Helm does release updates to their platform, relying on community support may result in slow response times and non-timely patches.
- This product should be used with a VA approved container platform that has a developed and approved baseline configuration with specific hardening guidance regarding the secure implementation of Helm. Currently Kubernetes, Docker, and OpenShift are container products VA is evaluating. Please reference the TRM for the approved solution and the Baseline Configuration Management website for more information.
- System owners should use the latest version of the software and check for updates regularly. Using older versions of Helm could allow unauthorized access noted in active CVE’s.
| | [4] | This technology can be deployed with Kubernetes. At the time of writing, the baseline for Kubernetes dictates that it can only be used in on-premises in Amazon Web Services (AWS) VA Enterprise Cloud (VAEC) implementations.
Per the Initial Product Review, users must abide by the following constraints:
- Ensure to leverage use of a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module to secure VA sensitive data on servers and workstations that utilize Helm where applicable.
- Helm is an application manager for Kubernetes. Kubernetes is only approved with constraints in VA Enterprise Cloud (VAEC) Amazon Web Services (AWS) instances that abide by the configuration and system architecture outlined in the `Kubernetes v1.x for AWS Configuration Baseline`. Any implementations outside of this baseline configuration are expressly unapproved until a secure configuration baseline is developed that covers all on-premise deployments of this technology.
- The product is an open source solution. While Helm does release updates to their platform, relying on community support may result in slow response times and non-timely patches.
