Depois de importar manualmente um disco virtual para o Compute Engine, otimize essas imagens para que elas possam usar recursos específicos do ambiente do Compute Engine.
Configurar sua imagem importada para o Compute Engine
É possível executar a imagem do disco de inicialização no Compute Engine sem outras alterações. No entanto, você também pode otimizá-la para o Compute Engine e ter acesso a todos os recursos dele.
Edite o arquivo ntp.conf para incluir apenas a entrada server metadata.google.internal iburst do servidor NTP do Google.
Defina a MTU DHCP como a MTU da rede. O servidor DHCP do Compute Engine
atende a esse parâmetro como a opção interface-mtu, que é seguida pela
maioria dos clientes. Para mais informações sobre MTUs de rede, consulte a
visão geral da unidade de transmissão máxima.
Remova as regras de rede permanentes para evitar que a instância se lembre dos endereços MAC. Por exemplo:
rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
Desative o firewall do sistema operacional, a não ser que você tenha requisitos específicos não compatíveis com as regras de firewall do Compute Engine.
O Compute Engine fornece um firewall para tráfego de entrada e saída. Para mais informações sobre firewalls, consulte Visão geral sobre regras de firewall.
Para garantir alto desempenho de rede e capacidade de disco, desative ou remova o daemon irqbalance. Ele não faz o balanceamento correto das solicitações IRQ para os sistemas operacionais convidados nas instâncias de máquina virtual. Em vez dele, use os scripts que compõem o ambiente convidado para fazer o balanceamento correto das configurações de IRQ para CPUs virtuais.
Configure o acesso SSH para a imagem de base:
Desative o login raiz de ssh.
Desative a autenticação por senha.
Desative a autenticação baseada em host.
Ative a verificação exata de chave de host.
Use ServerAliveInterval para manter as conexões abertas.
Remova as chaves SSH da imagem para que outros usuários não consigam acessar as chaves públicas ou privadas na imagem. Em vez disso, use o Compute Engine para gerenciar o acesso às instâncias.
Edite o arquivo /etc/ssh/ssh_config para usar a configuração a seguir:
Host *
Protocol 2
ForwardAgent no
ForwardX11 no
HostbasedAuthentication no
StrictHostKeyChecking no
Ciphers aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,arcfour256,arcfour128,aes128-cbc,3des-cbc
Tunnel no
# Compute Engine times out connections after 10 minutes of inactivity.
# Keep alive ssh connections by sending a packet every 7 minutes.
ServerAliveInterval 420
Edite o arquivo /etc/ssh/sshd_config para usar a configuração a seguir:
# Disable PasswordAuthentication because ssh keys are more secure.
PasswordAuthentication no
# Disable root login. Using sudo provides better auditing.
PermitRootLogin no
PermitTunnel no
AllowTcpForwarding yes
X11Forwarding no
# Compute Engine times out connections after 10 minutes of inactivity.
# Keep alive ssh connections by sending a packet every 7 minutes.
ClientAliveInterval 420
Depois de configurar e otimizar o disco de inicialização no Compute Engine, crie uma imagem desse disco para criar instâncias a partir de uma versão totalmente otimizada, em vez de precisar configurar cada nova instância.
Configurar práticas recomendadas de segurança
É necessário sempre proporcionar um ambiente de sistema operacional seguro, mas pode
ser difícil encontrar um equilíbrio entre segurança e acessibilidade.
Máquinas virtuais vulneráveis a ataques podem consumir recursos caros. O Google recomenda que suas imagens atendam a estas práticas recomendadas de segurança:
Minimize a quantidade de softwares instalados por padrão (por exemplo, instale o mínimo de recursos do sistema operacional).
Ative as atualizações automáticas.
Por padrão, desative todos os serviços de rede, exceto SSH, DHCP e NTPD. Se apenas conexões do localhost forem aceitas, será possível permitir a execução de um servidor de e-mail, como o Postfix.
Não permita a escuta externa de portas, exceto sshd.
Instale o pacote denyhosts para impedir as tentativas de login forçado de SSH.
Remova todas as contas que não são de usuário desnecessárias da instalação padrão.
Em /etc/passwd, defina o shell de todas as contas que não são de usuário como /sbin/nologin ou /usr/sbin/nologin (dependendo de onde seu sistema operacional estiver instalado).
Configure o sistema operacional para usar senhas SHA512 com sal em /etc/shadow.
Configure e ajuste o pam_cracklib (em inglês) para senhas fortes.
Configure e ajuste o pam_tally para bloquear contas por cinco minutos após três falhas.
Em /etc/shadow, configure a conta raiz a ser bloqueada por padrão. Execute o comando a seguir para bloquear a conta raiz:
usermod -L root
Adicione a linha a seguir para negar a raiz em /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
PermitRootLogin no
Crie os perfis AppArmor ou SELinux (links em inglês) para todos os serviços padrão em execução usados pela rede.
Use os recursos do sistema de arquivos, quando possível, para acabar com a necessidade do bit S*ID e oferecer um controle mais granular.
Ative as mitigações de exploração do compilador e de ambiente de execução ao compilar um software usado pela rede. Por exemplo, veja a seguir algumas das mitigações que o GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) oferece e como ativá-las:
Proteção contra destruição de pilha: ative com -fstack-protector.
Por padrão, essa opção protege as funções com um buffer alocado em pilha maior que oito bytes. Para aumentar a proteção cobrindo funções com buffers de pelo menos quatro bytes, adicione --param=ssp-buffer-size=4.
Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR): para ativá-la, compile um executável independente de posição com -fPIC -pie.
Proteções da glibc: ative essas proteções com -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2.
Proteção Global Offset Table (GOT): ative esse recurso do carregador de ambiente de execução com -Wl,-z,relro,-z,now.
Erros de tempo de compilação para strings ausentes de formato: -Wformat -Wformat-security -Werror=format-security.
Desative o CAP_SYS_MODULE, que possibilita o carregamento e o descarregamento de módulos do kernel. Para desativar esse
recurso, edite o arquivo /etc/sysctl.conf e inclua a seguinte configuração:

To find out when you need to manually\ninstall the guest environment, see\n[when to manually install or update the guest environment](/compute/docs/images/guest-environment#when-to-install).\n\n[Install the guest environment](/compute/docs/images/install-guest-environment)\non the running VM instance you created after\n[manually importing your existing image](/compute/docs/import/import-existing-image).\nTo perform the installation, access the VM instance via SSH with a user\naccount you created before importing it or by\n[interacting with the Serial Console](/compute/docs/instances/interacting-with-serial-console).\n| **Important:** Install the guest environment **after** you have imported your existing image. The guest environment makes configuration changes to the instance that are specific to Compute Engine.\n| **Important:** Failure to install the guest environment on a VM instance created from an imported image results in key features of Compute Engine being unavailable to the instance. For example, you won't be able to use all of the methods for [connecting to Linux instances](/compute/docs/instances/connecting-to-instance), and the instance might be unable to participate in [load balancing](/compute/docs/load-balancing) configurations.\n\nConfigure your imported image for Compute Engine\n------------------------------------------------\n\nYou can run your boot disk image in Compute Engine without\nadditional changes, but you can also further optimize the image so that it runs\noptimally within Compute Engine and has access to all\nCompute Engine features.\n\n- Edit the `ntp.conf` file to include only the\n `server metadata.google.internal iburst` Google NTP server entry.\n\n- Set the timezone to UTC:\n\n ```\n sudo ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC /etc/localtime\n ```\n- To ensure high performance network capability, use the following recommended\n network configurations:\n\n - Use the [ISC DHCP client](http://www.isc.org/downloads/dhcp/).\n - Set the DHCP MTU to the network MTU. The Compute Engine DHCP server serves this parameter as the `interface-mtu` option, which most clients respect. For more information about network MTUs, see the [maximum transmission unit overview](/vpc/docs/mtu).\n - If you don't plan to [configure IPv6\n addresses](/compute/docs/ip-addresses/configure-ipv6-address), disable IPv6.\n - Remove persistent network rules to prevent the instance from remembering\n MAC addresses. For example:\n\n ```\n rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules\n ```\n - Disable the operating system firewall unless you have specific\n requirements not supported by Compute Engine Firewall Rules.\n Compute Engine provides a firewall for\n inbound and outbound traffic. For more information about firewalls, see\n [Firewall rules overview](/vpc/docs/firewalls).\n\n- To ensure high performance network and disk capability, disable or remove\n the `irqbalance` daemon. This daemon does not correctly balance IRQ requests\n for the guest operating systems on virtual machine (VM) instances. Instead,\n use the scripts that are part of the\n [guest environment](#install_guest_environment) to correctly balance\n IRQ settings for virtual CPUs.\n\n- Configure SSH access to the base image:\n\n - Disable root ssh login.\n - Disable password authentication.\n - Disable host-based authentication.\n - Enable strict, host-key checking.\n - Use `ServerAliveInterval` to keep connections open.\n - Remove SSH keys from your image so that others can't access the public\n or private keys in your image. Instead, use Compute Engine to\n [manage access to instances](/compute/docs/instances/managing-instance-access).\n\n - Edit the `/etc/ssh/ssh_config` file to use the following configuration:\n\n ```\n Host *\n Protocol 2\n ForwardAgent no\n ForwardX11 no\n HostbasedAuthentication no\n StrictHostKeyChecking no\n Ciphers aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,arcfour256,arcfour128,aes128-cbc,3des-cbc\n Tunnel no\n\n # Compute Engine times out connections after 10 minutes of inactivity.\n # Keep alive ssh connections by sending a packet every 7 minutes.\n ServerAliveInterval 420\n ```\n - Edit the `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` file to use the following configuration:\n\n ```\n # Disable PasswordAuthentication because ssh keys are more secure.\n PasswordAuthentication no\n\n # Disable root login. Using sudo provides better auditing.\n PermitRootLogin no\n\n PermitTunnel no\n AllowTcpForwarding yes\n X11Forwarding no\n\n # Compute Engine times out connections after 10 minutes of inactivity.\n # Keep alive ssh connections by sending a packet every 7 minutes.\n ClientAliveInterval 420\n ```\n\nAfter you configure and optimize your boot disk on Compute Engine,\ncreate an image from that boot disk so that you can create instances from\na fully-optimized version of the image rather than having to configure each\ninstance every time you create it.\n\nConfigure security best practices\n---------------------------------\n\nYou should always provide a secure operating system environment, but it can\nbe difficult to strike a balance between a secure and an accessible environment.\nVirtual machines that are vulnerable to attack can consume expensive\nresources. Google strongly recommends that your images comply with the\nfollowing security best practices:\n\n- Minimize the amount of software installed by default (for example, perform a minimal install of the OS).\n- Enable automatic updates.\n- By default, disable all network services except for SSH, DHCP, and NTPD. You can allow a mail server, such as Postfix, to run if it is only accepting connections from localhost.\n- Do not allow externally listening ports except for sshd.\n- Install the [denyhosts](http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/faq.html#1_0) package to help prevent SSH brute-force login attempts.\n- Remove all unnecessary non-user accounts from the default install.\n- In `/etc/passwd`, set the shell of all non-user accounts to `/sbin/nologin` or `/usr/sbin/nologin` (depending on where your OS installed nologin).\n- Configure your OS to use salted SHA512 for passwords in `/etc/shadow`.\n- Set up and configure [pam_cracklib](http://linux.die.net/man/8/pam_cracklib) for strong passwords.\n- Set up and configure [pam_tally](http://linux.die.net/man/8/pam_tally) to lock out accounts for 5 minutes after 3 failures.\n- In `/etc/shadow`, configure the root account to be locked by default. Run\n the following command to lock the root account:\n\n ```\n usermod -L root\n ```\n- Deny root in `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` by adding the following line:\n\n ```\n PermitRootLogin no\n ```\n- Create\n [AppArmor](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/LSM/apparmor.html)\n or\n [SELinux](http://selinuxproject.org/page/Main_Page)\n profiles for all default running network-facing services.\n\n- Use file system capabilities where possible to remove the need for the S\\*ID\n bit and to provide more granular control.\n\n- Enable compiler and runtime exploit mitigations when compiling network-facing\n software. For example, here are some of the mitigations that the\n [GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)](http://gcc.gnu.org/)\n offers and how to enable them:\n\n - Stack smash protection: Enable this with `-fstack-protector`. By default, this option protects functions with a stack-allocated buffer longer than eight bytes. To increase protection by covering functions with buffers of at least four bytes, add `--param=ssp-buffer-size=4`.\n - Address space layout randomization (ASLR): Enable this by building a position-independent executable with `-fPIC -pie`.\n - Glibc protections: Enable these protections with `-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2`.\n - Global Offset Table (GOT) protection: Enable this runtime loader feature with `-Wl,-z,relro,-z,now`.\n - Compile-time errors for missing format strings: `-Wformat -Wformat-security -Werror=format-security`\n- Disable\n [`CAP_SYS_MODULE`](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/capabilities.7.html),\n which allows for loading and unloading of kernel modules. To disable this\n feature, edit the `/etc/sysctl.conf` file and include the following setting:\n\n ```\n kernel.modules_disabled = 1\n ```\n- Remove the\n [kernel symbol table](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System.map):\n\n ```\n sudo rm /boot/System.map\n ```\n\nWhat's next\n-----------\n\n- After your image is ready for production, [create a final version](/compute/docs/images/create-delete-deprecate-private-images) of that custom image and [include the image in an image family](/compute/docs/images/create-delete-deprecate-private-images#setting_families) so that you can easily manage updated versions of the custom image.\n- Learn how to [start an instance from an image](/compute/docs/instances/creating-and-starting-an-instance#startinginstancwithimage)."]]
