command-hub

A service built to securely manage the continuous deployment to multiple Kubernetes clusters via their hikaru services.

Build Status Coverage Status

Goals

command-hub exists to solve the challenge of managing deployments to multiple Kubernetes clusters using the installed hikaru service API. command-hub is designed to work with hikaru's asymmetric key encrypted token exchange to prevent an attacker being able to take control of a cluster's installed software.

command-hub provides multiple ways to manage the list of endpoints it can manage. By default, it supports the ability to keep a list of clusters stored in a redis endpoint. The ability to change this with a custom storage back-end via a very simple plugin approach is explained later.

Library form

Installing command-hub as a module will allow you to call the API endpoints as simple function calls after providing some configuration: the URL, the token and the location of the key files needed to encrypt and sign the token.

CLI mode

The CLI version exists to support CI contexts in which you wish to notify your clusters of newly built image:tags so that they can perform upgrades as configured. As with the library form, arguments or environment variables are required to specify the URL, token and location of the key files.

Security

Both the hub API and hikaru API are designed to use API tokens and asymmetric encryption. This means that each endpoint needs its own private key plus the public key(s) of the systems they communicate with. A script is included in the repo ./create-keys.sh which will create three 4096 bit RSA key pairs under a ./certs folder with pairs for hub clients, the hub and the hikaru service endpoints.

Environment Variables

Service configuration:

  • API_TOKEN - the token used by clients to authenticate with the hub API
  • HIKARU_TOKEN - the token to use to authenticate with hikaru endpoints
  • HUB_PRIVATE_KEY - path to secret private key
  • HIKARU_PUBLIC_KEY - path to shared public key for hikaru installations
  • CLIENT_PUBLIC_KEY - path to shared public key for client's calling hub API
  • ETCD - the URL to etcd, required by kickerd (even if unnused)

If storing cluster endpoints in redis:

  • REDIS_URL - redis url to connect to for storing hikaru endpoint information

If using providing an API to fetch cluster URLs from:

  • CLUSTER_API_HOST - the root http url - example: https://host:port/api
  • CLUSTER_API_LIST - the url used to fetch the cluster list - example: /cluster
  • CLUSTER_API_CLUSTER - the url to get cluster detail - example: /cluster/{id}
  • CLUSTER_API_TOKEN - a bearer token to use for authenticating
  • CLUSTER_API_USER - a username to use for authenticating
  • CLUSTER_API_PASS - a password to use for authenticating

CLI and module specific configuration variables:

  • HUB_URL - the url where command-hub is hosted (for module and CLI configuration)
  • CLIENT_PRIVATE_KEY - path to secret client private key
  • HUB_PUBLIC_KEY - path to shared public key for hub

ETCD Keys (kicker.toml)

Like hikaru, command-hub uses kickerd to monitor etcd for environment variable values and changes to the keys. Here is the etcd key to environment variable mapping:

  • comhub_api_token - API_TOKEN
  • hikaru_api_token - HIKARU_TOKEN
  • local_private_key - HUB_PRIVATE_KEY
  • hikaru_public_key - HIKARU_PUBLIC_KEY
  • client_public_key - CLIENT_PUBLIC_KEY
  • redis_url - REDIS_URL
  • cluster_api_host - CLUSTER_API_HOST
  • cluster_api_list - CLUSTER_API_LIST
  • cluster_api_cluster - CLUSTER_API_CLUSTER
  • cluster_api_token - CLUSTER_API_TOKEN
  • cluster_api_user - CLUSTER_API_USER
  • cluster_api_pass - CLUSTER_API_PASS

HTTP API

List Clusters

Retrieves a list of clusters.

GET /api/cluster

Response

content-type: application/json

200 OK

{
  "clusters": [
  	{ "name": "one", "url": "https://one.root.net" },
  	{ "name": "two", "url": "https://two.root.net" }
  ]
}

Add Cluster - optional

Adds a cluster endpoint. Only used if using a backing store instead of calling to another API for cluster listing/metadata.

POST /api/cluster content-type: application/json

{
  "name": "one",
  "url": "https://one.root.net"
}

Response

201 Created

Remove Cluster - optional

Removes a cluster endpoint. Only used if using a backing store instead of calling to another API for cluster listing/metadata.

DELETE /api/cluster/{name}

Response

204 No Content

Note: this is not the same as calling the hikaru remove command. That command is not currently supported from this API as it's such an uncommon and destructive use case.

Get Upgrade Candidates

Returns a hash containing lists of workloads:

  • upgrade has the list of workloads eligible for upgrade.
  • obsolete is the list of compatible workloads that have a newer version than the posted image
  • equal is the list of compatible workloads that already have the image
  • error is the list of workloads that were ignored which includes a diff property with a brief explanation of why they were ignored

GET /api/cluster/{name}/image/{image}?filter= GET /api/cluster/{name}/image/{repo}/{image}?filter= GET /api/cluster/{name}/image/{registry}/{repo}/{image}?filter=

The filter query parameters accepts a comma delimited list of fields that you want used to determine upgrade eligibility. Valid fields are:

  • imageName
  • imageOwner
  • owner
  • repo
  • branch
  • fullVersion
  • version
  • build
  • commit

The reason for the multiple forms may not be obvious until you see examples:

GET /api/cluster/one/image/nginx:1.13-alpine GET /api/cluster/one/image/arobson/hikaru:latest GET /api/cluster/one/image/quay.io/coreos/etcd:v3.3.3

You could make the last form more permissive by telling it to only consider the imageOwner:

GET /api/cluster/one/image/quay.io/coreos/etcd:v3.3.3?filter=imageOwner

So that it would upgrade any workload using any etcd image regardless of whether or not it was the coreos Docker image or not.

Response

200 OK

Upgrade All Clusters' Workloads With Image

NOTES: this call will likely take some time to complete and is very close to the cluster-specific upgrade call. Please be careful when issuing upgrades.

Returns a hash containing lists of workloads for each cluster upgraded. The top level key is the cluster alias.

  • url the url for the cluster's hikaru endpoint
  • upgrade has the list of workloads upgraded
  • obsolete is the list of compatible workloads that have a newer version than the posted image
  • equal is the list of compatible workloads that already have the image
  • error is the list of workloads that were ignored which includes a diff property with a brief explanation of why they were ignored

On failure, the properties returned change to:

  • url the url for the cluster's hikaru endpoint
  • failed -> true
  • message a simple explanation that the upgrade failed
  • error the stack track containing details for the failure

POST /api/cluster/image/{image}?filter= POST /api/cluster/image/{repo}/{image}?filter= POST /api/cluster/image/{registry}/{repo}/{image}?filter=

The filter query parameters accepts a comma delimited list of fields that you want used to determine upgrade eligibility. Valid fields are:

  • imageName
  • imageOwner
  • owner
  • repo
  • branch
  • fullVersion
  • version
  • build
  • commit

The reason for the multiple forms may not be obvious until you see examples:

POST /api/cluster/image/nginx:1.13-alpine POST /api/cluster/image/arobson/hikaru:latest POST /api/cluster/image/quay.io/coreos/etcd:v3.3.3

You could make the last form more permissive by telling it to only consider the imageOwner:

POST /api/cluster/image/quay.io/coreos/etcd:v3.3.3?filter=imageOwner

Find Workloads By Image

Returns metadata for any workload that has an image matching the text supplied.

GET /api/cluster/one/workload/{image} GET /api/cluster/one/workload/{repo}/{image} GET /api/cluster/one/workload/{registry}/{repo}/{image}

The primary difference between this and the call for upgrade candidates is that this considers anything that matches whatever image segment is provided and returns a single list with no consideration given to upgrade eligibility.

It's just there to make it easy to:

  • get a list of manifests using any nginx image
  • find a list of manifests from a specific image owner
  • find out if any manifests are using a particular version

If Providing A Cluster API

The expected format of data from the list API is for a name or id property to match the cluster identifier and for a url property to provide the endpoint where the cluster can be contacted. If a hikaru subdomain is not how to reach the hikaru API for the cluster, then a hikaru property should be present on the cluster to specify the route which hikaru's API can be reached.
