Felipe Monteiro 2a8d2638b3 pki: Port Promenade's PKI catalog into Pegleg
This patch set implements the PKICatalog [0] requirements
as well as PeglegManagedDocument [1] generation requirements
outlined in the spec [2].

Included in this patch set:

* New CLI entry point called "pegleg site secrets generate-pki"
* PeglegManagedDocument generation logic in
  engine.cache.managed_document
* Refactored PKICatalog logic in engine.cache.pki_catalog derived
  from the Promenade PKI implementation [3], responsible for
  generating certificates, CAs, and keypairs
* Refactored PKIGenerator logic in engine.cache.pki_generator
  derived from Promenade Generator implementation [4],
  responsible for reading in pegleg/PKICatalog/v1 documents (as
  well as promenade/PKICatalog/v1 documents for backwards
  compatibility) and generating required secrets and storing
  them into the paths specified under [0]
* Unit tests for all of the above [5]
* Example pki-catalog.yaml document under pegleg/site_yamls
* Validation schema for pki-catalog.yaml (TODO: implement
  validation logic here: [6])
* Updates to CLI documentation and inclusion of PKICatalog
  and PeglegManagedDocument documentation
* Documentation updates with PKI information [7]

TODO (in follow-up patch sets):

* Expand on overview documentation to include new Pegleg
  responsibilities
* Allow the original repository (not the copied one) to
  be the destination where the secrets are written to
* Finish up cert expiry/revocation logic

Getting Started

What is Pegleg?

Pegleg is a document aggregator that aggregates all the documents in a repository and packs them into a single YAML file. This allows for operators to structure their site definitions in a maintainable directory layout, while providing them with the automation and tooling needed to aggregate, lint, and render those documents for deployment.

For more information on the documents that Pegleg works on see Document Fundamentals.

Basic Usage

Before using Pegleg, you must:

  1. Clone the Pegleg repository:
git clone https://git.airshipit.org/airship-pegleg
  1. Install Docker CE, as Pegleg relies on it for CLI execution.

3. Clone the repos containing your site definition libraries into the local filesystem where Pegleg is running, as Pegleg can only work with files available in the local directory.

You will then be able to use all of Pegleg's features through the CLI. See CLI for more information.
