Transport Layer Security
========================
Magnum uses TLS to secure communication between a Bay's services and the
outside world. This includes not only Magnum itself, but also the end-user
when they choose to use native client libraries to interact with the Bay.
Magnum also uses TLS certificates for client authentication, which means each
client needs a valid certificate to communicate with a Bay.
TLS is a complex subject, and many guides on it exist already. This guide will
not attempt to fully describe TLS, only the necessary pieces to get a client
set up to talk to a Bay with TLS. A more indepth guide on TLS can be found in
the `OpenSSL Cookbook <https://www.feistyduck.com/books/openssl-cookbook/>`_
by Ivan Ristić.
Deploy a secure bay
===================
Magnum supports secure communication between the Magnum service and the
Kubernetes service using TLS. This document explains how to use this feature.
Below is the detailed step for deploying a secure bay and using kubectl to
run Kubernetes commands that uses SSL certificates to communicate with
Kubernetes services running on secure bay.
Create a baymodel, by default TLS is enabled in Magnum::
magnum baymodel-create --name secure-kubernetes \
--keypair-id default \
--external-network-id public \
--image-id fedora-21-atomic-5 \
--flavor-id m1.small \
--docker-volume-size 1 \
--coe kubernetes \
--network-driver flannel
+---------------------+--------------------------------------+
| Property | Value |
+---------------------+--------------------------------------+
| http_proxy | None |
| updated_at | None |
| master_flavor_id | None |
| fixed_network | None |
| uuid | 668a5e97-ba92-4b84-bdc3-e2388e0462ea |
| no_proxy | None |
| https_proxy | None |
| tls_disabled | False |
| keypair_id | default |
| public | False |
| labels | {} |
| docker_volume_size | 1 |
| external_network_id | public |
| cluster_distro | fedora-atomic |
| image_id | fedora-21-atomic-5 |
| registry_enabled | False |
| apiserver_port | None |
| name | secure-kubernetes |
| created_at | 2015-10-08T05:05:10+00:00 |
| network_driver | flannel |
| ssh_authorized_key | None |
| coe | kubernetes |
| flavor_id | m1.small |
| dns_nameserver | 8.8.8.8 |
+---------------------+--------------------------------------+
To disable TLS in magnum use option '--tls-disabled'. Please note it is not
recommended to disable TLS due to security reasons.
Now create a bay. Use the baymodel name as a template for bay creation::
magnum bay-create --name secure-k8sbay \
--baymodel secure-kubernetes \
--node-count 1
+--------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
| Property | Value |
+--------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
| status | None |
| uuid | 04952c60-a338-437f-a7e7-d016d1d00e65 |
| status_reason | None |
| created_at | 2015-10-08T04:19:14+00:00 |
| updated_at | None |
| bay_create_timeout | 0 |
| api_address | None |
| baymodel_id | da2825a0-6d09-4208-b39e-b2db666f1118 |
| node_count | 1 |
| node_addresses | None |
| master_count | 1 |
| discovery_url | https://discovery.etcd.io/3b7fb09733429d16679484673ba3bfd5 |
| name | secure-k8sbay |
+--------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
Now run bay-show command to get the IP of the bay host::
magnum bay-show secure-k8sbay
+--------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
| Property | Value |
+--------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
| status | CREATE_COMPLETE |
| uuid | 04952c60-a338-437f-a7e7-d016d1d00e65 |
| status_reason | Stack CREATE completed successfully |
| created_at | 2015-10-08T04:19:14+00:00 |
| updated_at | 2015-10-08T04:21:00+00:00 |
| bay_create_timeout | 0 |
| api_address | https://192.168.19.86:6443 |
| baymodel_id | da2825a0-6d09-4208-b39e-b2db666f1118 |
| node_count | 1 |
| node_addresses | [u'192.168.19.88'] |
| master_count | 1 |
| discovery_url | https://discovery.etcd.io/3b7fb09733429d16679484673ba3bfd5 |
| name | secure-k8sbay |
+--------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
You can see the api_address contains https in URL that denotes the Kubernetes
services are configured securely with SSL certificates and now any
communication to kube-apiserver will be over https making it secure.
Generating a Client Key and Certificate Signing Request
=======================================================
The first step to setting up a client is to generate your personal private key.
This is essentially a cryptographically generated string of bytes. It should be
protected as a password. To generate an RSA key, you will use the 'genrsa'
command of the 'openssl' tool.
::
openssl genrsa -out client.key 4096
This command generates a 4096 byte RSA key at client.key.
Next, you will need to generate a certificate signing request (CSR). This will
be used by Magnum to generate a signed certificate you will use to communicate
with the Bay. It is used by the Bay to secure the connection and validate you
are you who say you are.
To generate a CSR for client authentication, openssl requires a config file
that specifies a few values. Below is a simple template, just fill in the 'CN'
value with your name and save it as client.conf
::
$ cat > client.conf << END
[req]
distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name
req_extensions = req_ext
prompt = no
[req_distinguished_name]
CN = Your Name
[req_ext]
extendedKeyUsage = clientAuth
END
Once you have client.conf, you can run the openssl 'req' command to generate
the CSR.
::
openssl req -new -days 365 \
-config client.conf \
-key client.key \
-out client.csr
Now that you have your client CSR, you can use the Magnum CLI to send it off
to Magnum to get it signed.
::
magnum ca-sign --bay secure-k8sbay --csr client.csr > client.crt
The final piece you need to retrieve is the CA certificate for the bay. This
is used by your native client to ensure you're only communicating with hosts
that Magnum set up.
::
magnum ca-show --bay secure-k8sbay > ca.crt
You need to get kubectl, a kubernetes CLI tool, to communicate with the bay
::
wget https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/releases/download/v1.0.4/kubernetes.tar.gz
tar -xzvf kubernetes.tar.gz
sudo cp -a kubernetes/platforms/linux/amd64/kubectl /usr/bin/kubectl
Now let's run some kubectl commands to check secure communication::
KUBERNETES_URL=$(magnum bay-show secure-k8sbay |
awk '/ api_address /{print $4}')
kubectl version --certificate-authority=ca.crt \
--client-key=client.key \
--client-certificate=client.crt -s $KUBERNETES_URL
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"0", GitVersion:"v1.0.4", GitCommit:"65d28d5fd12345592405714c81cd03b9c41d41d9", GitTreeState:"clean"}
Server Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"0", GitVersion:"v1.0.4", GitCommit:"65d28d5fd12345592405714c81cd03b9c41d41d9", GitTreeState:"clean"}
kubectl create -f redis-master.yaml --certificate-authority=ca.crt \
--client-key=client.key \
--client-certificate=client.crt -s $KUBERNETES_URL
pods/test2
kubectl get pods --certificate-authority=ca.crt \
--client-key=client.key \
--client-certificate=client.crt -s $KUBERNETES_URL
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
redis-master 2/2 Running 0 1m
You can create kubectl configuration for these flags::
kubectl config set-cluster secure-k8sbay --server=${KUBERNETES_URL} \
--certificate-authority=${PWD}/ca.crt
kubectl config set-credentials client --certificate-authority=${PWD}/ca.crt \
--client-key=${PWD}/client.key --client-certificate=${PWD}/client.crt
kubectl config set-context secure-k8sbay --cluster=secure-k8sbay --user=client
kubectl config use-context secure-k8sbay
Now you can use kubectl commands without extra flags::
kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
redis-master 2/2 Running 0 1m
Once you have all of these pieces, you can configure your native client. Below
is an example for Docker.
::
docker -H tcp://192.168.19.86:2376 --tlsverify \
--tlscacert ca.crt \
--tlskey client.key \
--tlscert client.crt \
