What is required to ensure you can retrieve the Falcon KAC image when deploying the...

When deploying theFalcon Kubernetes Admission Controller (KAC)using aHelm chart, access to CrowdStrike-hosted container images is required. These images are stored inCrowdStrike’s private container registry, which requires authentication.

To retrieve the Falcon KAC image, a validCrowdStrike API client key(client ID and secret) must be provided. This API credential allows Helm to authenticate to the Falcon registry and securely pull the required KAC image during deployment. Without valid API credentials, image retrieval fails, and the KAC deployment cannot complete successfully.

Other options listed do not satisfy this requirement. SENSOR_PLATFORM and FALCON_REGION are configuration parameters used during sensor installation but do not authenticate registry access. Docker itself is not sufficient, as authentication to the CrowdStrike registry is still required.

Therefore, anAPI client keyis mandatory to ensure successful retrieval of the Falcon KAC image during Helm-based deployment.
