# Kubernetes Security Baseline
An auditable, GitOps-managed Kubernetes security baseline: local k3d for a
fast reproducible demo, optional Terraform + Ansible for a cloud K3s host, CIS
Benchmark checks in CI, Kyverno admission policies, and Falco runtime
detection.
## Phase 1: provision a local cluster
The primary quick-start path requires Docker, k3d, and kubectl:
```bash
k3d cluster create --config local-quickstart/k3d-cluster-config.yaml
kubectl get nodes -o wide
```
Expected result: one server and two agent nodes in `Ready` state. The bundled
Traefik is disabled so later ArgoCD-managed components own add-ons explicitly.
Delete the lab with `k3d cluster delete security-baseline`.
## Production-style option
`terraform/cloud-cluster/` and `ansible/bootstrap-k3s.yml` provide an optional,
documented AWS path. It requires your own AWS credentials, an existing EC2 key
pair, an Ubuntu AMI ID for the chosen region, and a tightly scoped admin CIDR.
It is not needed for the portfolio demo and is not run in CI.
## Build status
- [x] Phase 1: local k3d definition and optional Terraform/Ansible path
- [ ] Phase 2: ArgoCD app-of-apps deployment (scaffolded; runtime verification pending)
- [ ] Phase 3: kube-bench CI scan
- [ ] Phase 4: Kyverno policy set and CIS mapping
- [ ] Phase 5: Falco rules and webhook alerting
- [ ] Phase 6: test workloads and evidence capture
- [ ] Phase 7: architecture/design documentation
- [ ] Phase 8: final portfolio polish
