==================
Security hardening
==================
OpenStack-Ansible automatically applies host security hardening configurations
by using the `openstack-ansible-security`_ role. The role uses a version of the
`Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG)`_ that has been adapted for
Ubuntu 14.04 and OpenStack.
The role is applicable to physical hosts within an OpenStack-Ansible deployment
that are operating as any type of node, infrastructure or compute. By
default, the role is enabled. You can disable it by changing the value of
the ``apply_security_hardening`` variable in the ``user_variables.yml`` file
to ``false``:
.. code-block:: yaml
apply_security_hardening: false
You can apply security hardening configurations to an existing environment or
audit an environment by using a playbook supplied with OpenStack-Ansible:
.. code-block:: bash
# Apply security hardening configurations
openstack-ansible security-hardening.yml
# Perform a quick audit by using Ansible's check mode
openstack-ansible --check security-hardening.yml
For more information about the security configurations, see the
`OpenStack-Ansible host security`_ hardening documentation.
