Enforce Tenant projects policies

Duration: 5 min | Persona: Org Admin

In this section you will enforce policies to guarantee that any Namespaces in the ConfigController instance defining any Tenant project should contain its own ConfigConnectorContext object in order to leverage the namespaced mode of Config Connector.

Initialize variables:

WORK_DIR=~/
source ${WORK_DIR}acm-workshop-variables.sh

Define the “Require ConfigConnectorContext for Namespaces” policies

Define the ConstraintTemplate making sure that any Namespaces has a ConfigConnectorContext in it:

cat <<EOF > ${WORK_DIR}$HOST_PROJECT_DIR_NAME/policies/templates/requirenamespaceconfigconnectorcontext.yaml
apiVersion: templates.gatekeeper.sh/v1
kind: ConstraintTemplate
metadata:
  name: requirenamespaceconfigconnectorcontext
  annotations:
    description: "Requires that every namespaces defined in the cluster has a ConfigConnectorContext. Note: This constraint is referential. See https://cloud.google.com/anthos-config-management/docs/how-to/creating-constraints#referential for details."
spec:
  crd:
    spec:
      names:
        kind: RequireNamespaceConfigConnectorContext
  targets:
    - target: admission.k8s.gatekeeper.sh
      rego: |-
        package requirenamespaceconfigconnectorcontext
          violation[{"msg": msg}] {
          input.review.kind.kind == "Namespace"
          not namespace_has_configconnectorcontext(input.review.object.metadata.name)
          msg := sprintf("Namespace <%v> does not have a ConfigConnectorContext", [input.review.object.metadata.name])
        }
        namespace_has_configconnectorcontext(ns) {
          ccc := data.inventory.namespace[ns][_].ConfigConnectorContext[_]
        }
EOF

Define the namespaces-required-configconnectorcontext Constraint based on the RequireNamespaceConfigConnectorContext ConstraintTemplate for Namespaces:

cat <<EOF > ${WORK_DIR}$HOST_PROJECT_DIR_NAME/policies/constraints/namespaces-required-configconnectorcontext.yaml
apiVersion: constraints.gatekeeper.sh/v1beta1
kind: RequireNamespaceConfigConnectorContext
metadata:
  name: namespaces-required-configconnectorcontext
  annotations:
    policycontroller.gke.io/constraintData: |
      "{
        description: 'Requires Namespaces to have a ConfigConnectorContext in order to leverage Config Connector.',
        remediation: 'Any Namespaces should have a ConfigConnectorContext.'
      }"
spec:
  enforcementAction: dryrun
  match:
    kinds:
    - apiGroups:
      - ""
      kinds:
      - Namespace
    excludedNamespaces:
    - cnrm-system
    - config-control
    - config-management-monitoring
    - config-management-system
    - configconnector-operator-system
    - default
    - gatekeeper-system
    - krmapihosting-monitoring
    - krmapihosting-system
    - kube-node-lease
    - kube-public
    - kube-system
    - resource-group-system
EOF

Because this is constraint is referential (look at ConfigConnectorContext in Namespace), we need to define an associated Config in the gatekeeper-system Namespace:

cat <<EOF > ${WORK_DIR}$HOST_PROJECT_DIR_NAME/config-referential-constraints.yaml
apiVersion: config.gatekeeper.sh/v1alpha1
kind: Config
metadata:
  name: config
  namespace: gatekeeper-system
spec:
  sync:
    syncOnly:
      - group: ""
        version: "v1"
        kind: "Namespace"
      - group: "core.cnrm.cloud.google.com"
        version: "v1beta1"
        kind: "ConfigConnectorContext"
EOF

Deploy Kubernetes manifests

cd ${WORK_DIR}$HOST_PROJECT_DIR_NAME/
git add . && git commit -m "Enforce policies for Tenant projects" && git push origin main

Check deployments

List the Kubernetes resources managed by Config Sync in Config Controller for the Host project configs repository:

Run this command and click on this link:

echo -e "https://console.cloud.google.com/kubernetes/config_management/packages?project=${HOST_PROJECT_ID}"

Wait until you see the Sync status column as Synced and the Reconcile status column as Current.

Run this command:

gcloud alpha anthos config sync repo describe \
    --project $HOST_PROJECT_ID \
    --managed-resources all \
    --sync-name root-sync \
    --sync-namespace config-management-system

Wait and re-run this command above until you see "status": "SYNCED". All the managed_resources listed should have STATUS: Current too.

List the GitHub runs for the Host project configs repository:

cd ${WORK_DIR}$HOST_PROJECT_DIR_NAME && gh run list
