Compute

The OpenStack Compute service (nova) is one of the more complex OpenStack services. It runs in many locations throughout the cloud and interacts with a variety of internal services. The OpenStack Compute service offers a variety of configuration options which may be deployment specific. In this chapter we will call out general best practice around Compute security as well as specific known configurations that can lead to security issues. In general, the nova.conf file and the /var/lib/nova locations should be secured. Controls like centralized logging, the policy.json file, and a mandatory access control framework should be implemented. Additionally, there are environmental considerations to keep in mind, depending on what functionality is desired for your cloud.
