The OpenStack Compute service (nova) 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. 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.
