Configure the Kubernetes integration

Enable the integration

From the Snyk web console, navigate to Integrations. Search and select Kubernetes. Click Connect and copy the Integration ID to your clipboard. The Integration ID will be a UUID with a format similar to abcd1234-abcd-1234-abcd-1234abcd1234.

Let's create an environment variable for our Integration ID:

IntegrationId=<value>

Install the Snyk controller

Helm chart

From the terminal, ensure that you have helm installed by running the following command:

brew update && brew install helm

Then, add the Snyk Charts repository to Helm with the following command:

helm repo add snyk-charts https://snyk.github.io/kubernetes-monitor/

If successful, you will see output similar to the following:

"snyk-charts" has been added to your repositories

Namespace

Once added, we will need to create a unique namespace for the Snyk controller. Run the following command:

kubectl create namespace snyk-monitor

If successful, you will see output similar to the following:

namespace/snyk-monitor created

Secret

The Snyk monitor runs by using your Snyk Integration ID, and using a dockercfg file. If you are not using any private registries, create a Kubernetes secret called snyk-monitor containing the Snyk Integration ID from the previous step and run the following command:

kubectl create secret generic snyk-monitor -n snyk-monitor \
        --from-literal=dockercfg.json={} \
        --from-literal=integrationId=$IntegrationId

If successful, you will see output similar to the following:

secret/snyk-monitor created

Deploy

Now, install the Snyk Helm chart to your AKS cluster:

helm upgrade --install snyk-monitor snyk-charts/snyk-monitor \
             --namespace snyk-monitor \
             --set clusterName="mySnykAKSCluster"

If successful, you will see output similar to the following:

Release "snyk-monitor" does not exist. Installing it now.
NAME: snyk-monitor
LAST DEPLOYED: Tue Apr 28 16:34:04 2020
NAMESPACE: snyk-monitor
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1
TEST SUITE: None

Test

We can also validate our pod is running with the following command:

kubectl get pods --namespace snyk-monitor

You will want to see the STATUS display Running as in the following example output:

NAME                            READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
snyk-monitor-544ff7ccd9-qkwj8   1/1     Running   0          4m47s

Note that Snyk Monitor will require outbound internet access.
