    AI Runtime Security post deployment configurations in Strata Cloud Manager to protect VM workloads and Kubernetes clusters.
    Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
    1. Log in to Strata Cloud Manager.
    2. Configure AI Runtime Security: Network intercept (firewall) Interfaces:
      1. Select Manage → Configuration → NGFW and Prisma Access.
      2. Select Device Settings → Interfaces.
      3. Set the Configuration Scope to your AI Runtime Security folder.
      4. In Ethernet tab:
        Configure a Layer 3 Interface for eth1/1:
        • Interfaces: eth1/1
        • Location: Specify the location if applicable
        • Interface Type: Layer 3
        • IP Address: Dynamic (DHCP Client)
    3. Configure zones:
      • Select Manage → Configuration → NGFW and Prisma Access → Device Settings → Zones.
      • Set Security Zone to trust for eth1/1.
    4. Configure a Logical Router:
      • Create a Logical Router and add the Layer 3 interface (eth1/1).
    5. Add a security policy (Manage → Configuration → NGFW and Prisma Access → Security Services → Security Policy → Add Rule). Set the action as allow.
    6. Select Manage → Operations → Push Config and push the policy configurations to the AI Runtime Security instance.

    Install a Kubernetes Application with Helm

    Follow the below steps to install a Kubernetes application on a Kubernetes cluster by applying the helm chart.
    Prerequisites:
    • Go to your downloaded Terraform template and navigate to `<unzipped-folder>/architecture/helm`.
    • Apply the Terraform for the `security_project` as shown in the AWS deployment workflow.
      Deploying the Terraform for the security project creates the GWLB endpoints in your AWS account.
    • Open the `values.yaml` file found in the path: `<unzipped-folder>/architecture/helm`.
    • Update the `endpoints1` and `endpoints2` values with your GWLB endpoints IP addresses. Below is a sample `values.yaml` file:
      # Default values for ai-runtime-security.
# This is a YAML-formatted file.
# Declare variables to be passed into your templates.

# Configure vpc endpoint per zone. This makes sure kubernetes
# traffic is not sent across zone. Endpoints can be added or
# removed based on requirements and zone availability.
# GWLB VPC endpoint zone1 IP address.
endpoints1: ""
endpoints1zone: us-east-1a

# GWLB VPC endpoint zone2 IP address.
endpoints2: ""
endpoints2zone: us-east-1b

# PAN CNI image.
cniimage: gcr.io/pan-cn-series/airs/pan-cni:latest

# Resource namespace name.
namespace: kube-system

# Kubernetes ClusterID value range 1-2048.
clusterid: 1
    • Apply the helm chart by following the below steps.
    1. Change the directory to the Helm folder: 
      cd <unzipped-folder>/architecture/helm
    2. Create the `ai-runtime-security` directory and move the below files to this directory:
      mkdir ai-runtime-security

mv Chart.yaml ai-runtime-security
mv values.yaml ai-runtime-security
mv templates ai-runtime-security
    3. Install the Helm chart: 
      helm install ai-runtime-security ai-runtime-security --namespace kube-system --values ai-runtime-security/values.yaml
    4. Verify the Helm installation: 
      #List all Helm releases
helm list -A

#Ensure the output shows your installation with details such as:
NAME                    NAMESPACE      REVISION  UPDATED                   STATUS      CHART                         APP VERSION
ai-runtime-security     kube-system    1         2024-08-13 07:00 PDT      deployed   ai-runtime-security-0.1.0    11.2.2
    5. Check the pod status: 
      kubectl get pods -A
#Verify that the pods with names similar to `pan-cni-*****` are present.
    6. Check the endpoint slices: 
      kubectl get endpointslice -n kube-system

#Confirm that the output shows an ILB IP address:
NAME             ADDRESSTYPE PORTS   ENDPOINTS            AGE
my-endpointslice IPv4      80/TCP  10.2xx.0.1,10.2xx.0.2 12h
    7. Check the services running in the `kube-system` namespace: 
      kubectl get svc -n kube-system

#Ensure that services `pan-cni-sa` and `pan-plugin-user-secret` are listed:
NAME                    TYPE           CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP    PORT(S)        AGE
pan-cni-sa              ClusterIP      10.xx.0.1        <none>         443/TCP        24h
pan-plugin-user-secret  ClusterIP      10.xx.0.2        <none>         443/TCP        24h
    8. Annotate the application `yaml` or `namespace` so that the traffic from the new pods is redirected to the AI Runtime Security instance (firewall) for inspection.
      annotations:       	   	 paloaltonetworks.com/firewall: pan-fw
      For example, for all new pods in the "default" namespace:
      kubectl annotate namespace default paloaltonetworks.com/firewall=pan-fw
