IBM Cloudで利用できるメインフレーム版Linux(LinuxONE)の仮想サーバーを試してみた

Last updated at Posted at 2019-12-17

1. はじめに

IBM Cloudには、IBM Cloud Hyper Protect Servicesというものが存在し、IBM Zのメインフレーム技術をベースに作られたLinuxONEを使ってConfidential Computingを実現しています。

2. 注文画面

すごくシンプルです。どのデータセンターに配置するかを選択した後、サーバーのサイズを決めて、SSH公開鍵を設定するだけです。

注)本来はDCを選ぶのだからSelect a regionではなくSelect a zoneとかSelect a DCとかの方が適切なように思います。このサービスではドキュメントを通して1つのDCをregionと呼んでいることがあるようです。

3. 構成画面

こちらもすごくシンプルです。vCPU数とメモリサイズ、Public IPとPrivate IPが載っているだけです。Private IPとしては172.x.x.xが使われていました。

4. ログインして環境を覗いてみる

サーバーにログインする際には、SSH公開鍵認証でログインします。S390などのキーワードが出てきてドキドキします。

Firewallなどは構成されていませんので、自分で構成する必要があります。Docsには以下のように記載されています。
https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/services/hp-virtual-servers?topic=hp-virtual-servers-protect_vs&locale=en-US

Hyper Protect Virtual Server is a service that is used to provide highly secure virtual servers. The difference to common virtual servers from a security perspective is that an instance that is created from this IBM Cloud™ service is running on a secured stack. Even IBM Cloud system administrators cannot access your data nor track your usage. They also do not have insight into the security status of your virtual server. In addition, they are limited in setting up or changing the configuration of your virtual server.
However, the provided virtual server is still a virtual server – which is accessible from the internet. From a security perspective, you need to protect the virtual server instance itself.
For Ubuntu, different System Hardening Guide documents are available. Select the strategy and implementations depending on your companies’ location and policies.

Q: How can I adjust the firewall of my virtual server?
A: A newly generated IBM Cloud™ virtual server, which is provided with an Ubuntu Linux operating system, has iptables, the Linux firewall utility," preinstalled. Investigate, what firewall tool you want or need to use in your environment.

5. 他のVSIと通信してみる。

DAL10のVSIからDAL10の別のVSIへping
# ping 172.18.27.114
PING 172.18.27.114 (172.18.27.114) 56(84) bytes of data.

DAL10のVSIからDAL13のVSIへping。2.22msecぐらいなので確かにZone間通信ぐらいの距離からの応答!
# ping 172.18.155.114
PING 172.18.155.114 (172.18.155.114) 56(84) bytes of data.

DAL10のVSIからSYD01のVSIへping。通信できず。
# ping 172.19.23.74
PING 172.19.23.74 (172.19.23.74) 56(84) bytes of data.

なお、こういう注意書きが書かれていました。
https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/services/hp-virtual-servers?topic=hp-virtual-servers-provision&locale=en-US

As soon as you create a virtual server instance, a virtual LAN (VLAN) is transparently created or assigned. One VLAN is used within one region for one account. Each VLAN can contain up to five virtual servers per data center. A VLAN is deleted as soon as you delete the last virtual server instance that is assigned to this VLAN.

6. その他気がついたこと

サーバー自体はメインフレームの技術で強化かもしれませんが、本格的に採用するには色々な壁がありそうです。
