Responsibilities

If this application is owned by a Contributor or Vendor (identifed as Owner::Contributor and Owner::Vendor respectively), then it is your responsibility to drive this issue through completion. This means that the Container Hardening team is not here to help push any deadlines/timeframes you may have with other customers or DoD agencies. If you have issues with the activity, you may notify Container Hardening leadership above. Do not change the ownership labels.

Definition of Done

Hardening:

• Hardening manifest has been updated and adheres to the schema (https://repo1.dsop.io/ironbank-tools/ironbank-pipeline/-/blob/master/schema/hardening_manifest.schema.json)
• Container builds successfully throughthe Gitlab CI pipeline
• Branch has been merged into development
• Project is configured for automatic renovate updates (if possible)

No new findings:

• There are no new findings in this update. Skip the Justifications and Approval Process steps and apply the label Approval

Justifications:

• All findings have been justified per the above documentation
• Justifications have been provided to the container hardening team
• Skip the Justifications and Approval Process steps and apply the label Approval

Note: The justifications must be provided in a timely fashion. Failure to do so could result in new findings being identified which may start this process over.

Approval Process:

• Peer review from Container Hardening Team
• Findings Approver has reviewed and approved all justifications
• Approval request has been sent to Authorizing Official
• Approval request has been processed by Authorizing Official

Note: If the above approval process is kicked back for any reason, the Approval label will be removed and the issue will be sent back to Open. Any comments will be listed in this issue for you to address. Once they have been addressed, you may re-add the Approval label.

Post Approval

Continuous Monitoring

Once a container is approved, the Approved label will be applied to this issue and it will be closed. You will be able to find your applications on http://ironbank.dsop.io and https://registry1.dsop.io.

In addition to the above, your application will now be subscribed to continuous monitoring. This means that any new findings discovered as part of this will need justifications. To satisfy this process, any new findings will trigger a new Gitlab issue in this project with the label Container::New Findings. All members listed in the maintainers section of the hardening_manifest.yaml file will automatically be assigned. It is your responsibility as a Contributor or Vendor to monitor for this and provide justifications in a timely fashion. This newly created issue will have all the instructions necessary to complete the process. Failure to provide justifications could result in the revocation of the application's approval status.

Updates

It is imperative that application updates be submitted as quickly as possible. We do not want applications to become stale. To help with this process, Ironbank recommends using a tool called Renovate. This requires a renovate.json file to be placed in your project and can automate the creation of issues and merge requests.

If not using Renovate, it will be up to you as a Contributor or Vendor to keep this image up-to-date at all times. When you wish to submit an application update, you must create a new issue in this project using the Application - Update template and associate it with the corresponding merge request. If you submit a merge request alone, work will not proceed until a related issue is created. These issues are tracked using the label Container::Update.

Additionally, it is imperative that all updates must be followed through to completion. Simply submitting an application update but not following through on justifications and approvals does not suffice and risk your application's approval status being revoked.

Bugs

Occassionally, users may file bug reports for your application. It is your responsibility to monitor for these since they are created inside your project repository. Assignees will automatically be populated by the members section of the hardening_manifest.yaml file and will have the label Bug.
