| $[prodname] installer | Gets installation resources from the $[prodname] portal, registers a managed cluster, and reports installation or upgrade progress. |• TCP 443 to $[prodname] hosted service<br />• TCP 6443 to Kubernetes API server |

| $[prodname] tunnel server | Communicates with managed clusters by creating secure TLS tunnels. | Port 9000 from managed clusters |

| Container threat detection | A threat detection engine that analyzes observed file and process activity to detect known malicious and suspicious activity. Monitors the following types of suspicious activity within containers:<br/><br />• Access to sensitive system files and directories<br />• Defense evasion<br />• Discovery<br />• Execution<br />• Persistence<br />• Privilege escalation<br/><br />Includes these components:<br /><br />**Runtime Security Operator**<br />An operator to manage and reconcile container threat defense components.<br/><br />**Runtime Reporter Pods**<br />Pods running on each node in the cluster to perform the detection activity outlined above.They send activity reports to Elasticsearch for analysis by $[prodname]. | TCP to Kubernetes API server |
35

| Compliance | Generates compliance reports for the Kubernetes cluster. Reports are based on archived flow and audit logs for Calico Cloud resources, plus any audit logs you’ve configured for Kubernetes resources in the Kubernetes API server. Compliance reports provide the following high-level information:<br /><br />• Endpoints explicitly protected using ingress or egress policy<br />• Policies and services<br /> - Policies and services associated with endpoints<br /> - Policy audit logs <br />• Traffic<br /> - Allowed ingress/egress traffic to/from namespaces, and to/from the internet Compliance includes these components: <br /><br />**compliance-snapshotter** <br />Handles listing of required Kubernetes and $[prodname]configuration and pushes snapshots to Elasticsearch. Snapshots give you visibility into configuration changes, and how the cluster-wide configuration has evolved within a reporting interval.<br /><br />**compliance-reporter**<br />Handles report generation. Reads configuration history from Elasticsearch and determines time evolution of cluster-wide configuration, including relationships between policies, endpoints, services, and network sets. Data is then passed through a zero-trust aggregator to determine the “worst-case outliers” in the reporting interval.<br /><br />**compliance-controller**<br />Reads report configuration and manages creation, deletion, and monitoring of report generation jobs.<br /><br />**compliance-benchmarker**<br />A daemonset that runs checks in the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark on each node so you can see if Kubernetes is securely deployed.<br /> | • TCP 8080 to Guardian<br />• TCP 6443 to Kubernetes API server |
36

| Fluentd | Open-source data collector for unified logging. Collects and forwards $[prodname] logs (flows, DNS, L7) to log storage. |• TCP 8080 to Guardian<br />• TCP 9080 from Prometheus API service |
37
36
| Guardian | An agent running in each managed cluster that proxies communication between the $[prodname] tunnel server and your managed cluster. Secured using TLS tunnels.<br /> |• Port 9000 to tunnel server<br />• TCP 6443 to Kubernetes API server<br />• TCP 6443 from $[prodname] components |

| Installation endpoints | Endpoints at `*.calicocloud.io` and `*.projectcalico.org`. | TCP 443 for both |

| Image Assurance | Identifies vulnerabilities in container images that you deploy to Kubernetes clusters. Components of interest are: <br /><br />**Admission controller**<br />Uses Kubernetes Validating Webhook Configuration to control which images can be used to create pods based on scan results. <br /><br />**API**<br />Isolates tenant data and authorizes all external access to Image Assurance data. **Note:** $[prodname] does not store registry credentials in its database and does not pull customer images into the $[prodname] control plane.<br /> |• TCP 8080 to Guardian<br /> • TCP 6443 to Kubernetes API server |

| Kubernetes API server | A Kubernetes component that validates and configures data for the API objects (for example, pods, services, and others). <br /> | TCP 6443 (from all components) |

| kube-controllers | Monitors the Kubernetes API and performs actions based on cluster state. $[prodname] kube-controllers container includes these controllers:<br/><br />• Node<br />• Service<br />• Federated services<br />• Authorization<br /> |• TCP 9094 from Prometheus API service<br />• TCP 6443 to Kubernetes API server |

| Log storage | Storage for logs (flows, L7, DNS, audit). Data for each managed cluster is isolated and protected against unauthorized access. | n/a |

| Packet capture API | Retrieves capture files (pcap format) generated by a packet capture for use with network protocol analysis tools like Wireshark. Packet capture data is visible in the web console and Service Graph. |• TCP 8449 Guardian to Packet Capture API<br />• TCP 6443 to Kubernetes API server |

| Prometheus API service | Collects metrics from $[prodname] components and makes the metrics available to the web console. |• TCP 6443 to Kubernetes API server<br />• TCP 9080 to Fluentd<br />• TCP 9900 and 9081 to Prometheus API service |
