# CSI RBD Plugin
The RBD CSI plugin is able to provision new RBD images and
attach and mount those to workloads.
## Building
CSI plugin can be compiled in a form of a binary file or in a form of a
Docker image. When compiled as a binary file, the result is stored in
`_output/` directory with the name `cephcsi`. When compiled as an image, it's
stored in the local Docker image store with name `cephcsi`.
Building binary:
```bash
make cephcsi
```
Building Docker image:
```bash
make image-cephcsi
```
## Configuration
**Available command line arguments:**
| Option | Default value | Description |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

**NOTE:** An accompanying CSI configuration file, needs to be provided to the
running pods. Refer to [Creating CSI configuration](../examples/README.md#creating-csi-configuration)
for more information.
**NOTE:** A suggested way to populate and retain uniqueness of the clusterID is
to use the output of `ceph fsid` of the Ceph cluster to be used for
provisioning.
**Required secrets:**
User credentials, with required access to the pool being used in the storage class,
is required for provisioning new RBD images.
## Deployment with Kubernetes
Requires Kubernetes 1.14+
Use the [rbd templates](../deploy/rbd/kubernetes)
Your Kubernetes cluster must allow privileged pods (i.e. `--allow-privileged`
flag must be set to true for both the API server and the kubelet). Moreover, as
stated in the [mount propagation
docs](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/#mount-propagation),
the Docker daemon of the cluster nodes must allow shared mounts.
YAML manifests are located in `deploy/rbd/kubernetes`.
**Create CSIDriver object:**
```bash
kubectl create -f csidriver.yaml
```
**Deploy RBACs for sidecar containers and node plugins:**
```bash
kubectl create -f csi-provisioner-rbac.yaml
kubectl create -f csi-nodeplugin-rbac.yaml
```
Those manifests deploy service accounts, cluster roles and cluster role
bindings. These are shared for both RBD and CephFS CSI plugins, as they require
the same permissions.
**Deploy ConfigMap for CSI plugins:**
```bash
kubectl create -f csi-config-map.yaml
```
The configmap deploys an empty CSI configuration that is mounted as a volume
within the Ceph CSI plugin pods. To add a specific Ceph clusters configuration
details, refer to [Creating CSI configuration for RBD based
provisioning](../examples/README.md#creating-csi-configuration)
for more information.
**Deploy Ceph configuration ConfigMap for CSI pods:**
```bash
kubectl create -f ../example/ceph-config.yaml
```
**Deploy CSI sidecar containers:**
```bash
kubectl create -f csi-rbdplugin-provisioner.yaml
```
Deploys deployment of provision which includes external-provisioner
,external-attacher,csi-snapshotter sidecar containers and CSI RBD plugin.
**Deploy RBD CSI driver:**
```bash
kubectl create -f csi-rbdplugin.yaml
```
Deploys a daemon set with two containers: CSI node-driver-registrar and the CSI
RBD driver.
**NOTE:**
In case you want to use a different release version, replace canary with the
release version in the
[provisioner](../deploy/rbd/kubernetes/csi-rbdplugin-provisioner.yaml)
and [nodeplugin](../deploy/rbd/kubernetes/csi-rbdplugin.yaml) YAMLs.
```yaml
# for stable functionality replace canary with latest release version
image: quay.io/cephcsi/cephcsi:canary
```
Check the release version [here.](../README.md#ceph-csi-container-images-and-release-compatibility)
## Verifying the deployment in Kubernetes
After successfully completing the steps above, you should see output similar to this:
```bash
$ kubectl get all
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
pod/csi-rbdplugin-fptqr 3/3 Running 0 21s
pod/csi-rbdplugin-provisioner-0 5/5 Running 0 22s
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
service/csi-rbdplugin-provisioner ClusterIP 10.104.2.130 <none> 8080/TCP 23s
...
```
Once the CSI plugin configuration is updated with details from a Ceph cluster of
choice, you can try deploying a demo pod from examples/rbd using the
instructions [provided](../examples/README.md#deploying-the-storage-class) to
test the deployment further.
## Deployment with Helm
The same requirements from the Kubernetes section apply here, i.e. Kubernetes
version, privileged flag and shared mounts.
The Helm chart is located in `charts/ceph-csi-rbd`.
**Deploy Helm Chart:**
[See the Helm chart readme for installation instructions.](../charts/ceph-csi-rbd/README.md)
## Read Affinity using crush locations for RBD volumes
Ceph CSI supports mapping RBD volumes with krbd options
`"read_from_replica=localize,crush_location=type1:value1|type2:value2"` to
allow serving reads from the most local OSD (according to OSD locations as
defined in the CRUSH map).
Refer [krbd-options](https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/man/8/rbd/#kernel-rbd-krbd-options)
for more details.
This can be enabled by adding labels to Kubernetes nodes like
`"topology.io/region=east"` and `"topology.io/zone=east-zone1"` and
passing command line arguments `"--enable-read-affinity=true"` and
`"--crush-location-labels=topology.io/zone,topology.io/region"` to Ceph CSI
RBD daemonset pod "csi-rbdplugin" container, resulting in Ceph CSI adding
`"--options read_from_replica=localize,crush_location=zone:east-zone1|region:east"`
krbd options during rbd map operation.
If enabled, this option will be added to all RBD volumes mapped by Ceph CSI.
Well known labels can be found
[here](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/labels-annotations-taints/).
>Note: Label values will have all its dots `"."` normalized with dashes `"-"`
in order for it to work with ceph CRUSH map.
## Encryption for RBD volumes
> Enabling encryption on volumes created without encryption is **not supported**
>
> Enabling encryption for storage class that has PVs created without encryption
> is **not supported**
Volumes provisioned with Ceph RBD do not have encryption by default. It is
possible to encrypt them with ceph-csi by using LUKS encryption.
### Life-cycle for encrypted volumes
**Create volume**:
* create volume request received
* volume requested to be created in Ceph
* new passphrase is generated and stored in selected KMS if KMS is in use
* encrypted state "encryptionPrepared" is saved in image-meta in Ceph
**Attach volume**:
* attach volume request received
* volume is attached to provisioner container
* on first time attachment
(no file system on the attached device, checked with blkid)
* passphrase is retrieved from selected KMS if KMS is in use
* device is encrypted with LUKS using a passphrase from K8s Secret or KMS
* image-meta updated to "encrypted" in Ceph
* passphrase is retrieved from selected KMS if KMS is in use
* device is open and device path is changed to use a mapper device
* mapper device is used instead of original one with usual workflow
**Detach volume**:
* mapper device closed and device path changed to original volume path
* volume is detached as usual
* passphrase removed from KMS if needed (with failures ignored)
### Encryption configuration
To encrypt rbd volumes with LUKS you need to set encryption passphrase in
secrets under `encryptionPassphrase` key and switch `encrypted` option in
StorageClass to `"true"`. This is not supported for storage classes that already
have PVs provisioned. The `node-stage-secret-name` and the `provisioner-secret-name`
should carry this key and value for encryption to work.
To use different passphrase you need to have different storage classes and point
to a different K8s secrets `csi.storage.k8s.io/node-stage-secret-name`
and `csi.storage.k8s.io/provisioner-secret-name` which carry new passphrase value
for `encryptionPassphrase` key in these secrets.
### Encryption `metadata` configuration
CephCSI can generate unique passphrase (DEK Data-Encryption-Key) for each volume
to be used to encrypt/decrypt data. The passphrase (DEK) is encrypted by
`encryptionPassphrase` (KEK Key-Encryption-Key) and stored in the image metadata
of the volume.
To encrypt rbd volumes with `metadata` encryption, users need to set
`encrypted: "true"` and `encryptionKMSID` to a unique identifier in storageclass.
This unique identifier should be similar to the
[examples](../examples/kms/vault/csi-kms-connection-details.yaml).
The configuration must include `"encryptionKMSType": "metadata"`. The
`encryptionPassphrase` is fetched based on the following conditions:
* if `"secretName"` key is specified, `encryptionPassphrase` is fetched from this
secret and `"secretNamespace"` value is used for namespace if specified else
Tenant/Kubernetes namespace (i.e., namespace where the PVC was created) is used.
* if `"secretName"` key is not specified, `encryptionPassphrase` is fetched from
storageclass secrets `csi.storage.k8s.io/provisioner-secret-namespace` /
`csi.storage.k8s.io/provisioner-secret-name` and
`csi.storage.k8s.io/node-stage-secret-namespace` /
`csi.storage.k8s.io/node-stage-secret-name`
similar to the previous [Encryption Configuration](#encryption-configuration).
### Encryption KMS configuration
To further improve security robustness it is possible to use unique passphrases
generated for each volume and stored in a Key Management System (KMS). Currently
HashiCorp Vault is the only KMS supported.
There are two options to use Hashicorp Vault as a KMS:
1. with Kubernetes ServiceAccount
1. with a Vault Token per Tenant (a Kubernetes Namespace)
To use Vault as KMS set `encryptionKMSID` to a unique identifier for Vault
configuration. You will also need to create vault configuration similar to the
[example](../examples/kms/vault/kms-config.yaml) and use same
`encryptionKMSID`.
To use the Kubernetes ServiceAccount to access Vault, the configuration must
include `encryptionKMSType: "vault"`. If Tenants are expected to place their
Vault Token in a Kubernetes Secret in their Namespace, set `encryptionKMSType:
"vaulttokens"`.
In order for ceph-csi to be able to access the configuration you will need to
have it mounted to csi-rbdplugin containers in both daemonset (so kms client
can be instantiated to encrypt/decrypt volumes) and deployment pods (so kms
client can be instantiated to delete passphrase on volume delete)
`ceph-csi-encryption-kms-config` configmap.
> Note: kms configuration must be a map of string values only
> (`map[string]string`) so for numerical and boolean values make sure to put
> quotes around.
When the Tenants need to provide their own Vault Token, they will need to place
it in a Kubernetes Secret (by default) called `ceph-csi-kms-token`, where the
Vault Token is stored in the `token` key as shown in [the
example](../examples/kms/vault/tenant-token.yaml).
#### Configuring HashiCorp Vault with a single Kubernetes ServiceAccount
Using Vault as KMS you need to configure Kubernetes authentication method as
described in [official
documentation](https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/kubernetes.html).
If token reviewer is used, you will need to configure service account for
that also like in
[example](../examples/kms/vault/csi-vaulttokenreview-rbac.yaml) to be able to
review jwt tokens.
Configure a role(s) for service accounts used for ceph-csi:
* provisioner service account (`rbd-csi-provisioner`) requires only **delete**
permissions to delete passphrases on PVC delete
* nodeplugin service account (`rbd-csi-nodeplugin`) requires **create** and
**read** permissions to save new keys and retrieve existing
#### Configuring Hashicorp Vault with a ServiceAccount per Tenant
For deployments where a single ServiceAccount for accessing Hashicorp Vault is
not suitable, it is possible to configure a ServiceAccount per Tenant to access
the KMS. In order to configure this, each Tenant will need to have its own
ServiceAccount in the Kubernetes Namespace where the volumes are created. The
ServiceAccount is expected to be called `ceph-csi-vault-sa` by default. This
can be changed by setting the `tenantSAName` option to a different value. An
example of the global configuration that can be done in the Kubernetes
Namespace where Ceph-CSI is deployed can be found in
[`kms-config.yaml`](../examples/kms/vault/kms-config.yaml) where the
`encryptionKMSType` is set to `vaulttenantsa`.
Most notably, the Vault Tokens KMS configuration can be used, without the Token
configuration, but with added `tenantSAName` and `vaultRole` options.
Tenants do have the ability to reconfigure parts of the connection details to
the Vault service. It will often be required to set the backend path to a
location where the Tenant can manage the secrets. These changes can be done by
placing a ConfigMap called `ceph-csi-kms-config` in the Tenants Namespace, an
[example](../examples/kms/vault/tenant-sa.yaml) is available.
As each ServiceAccount needs to be added to the Vault configuration, the
administrator of the service will need to apply the permissions by creating a
Vault Policy that allows a ServiceAccount to access a key-value store in the
KMS. In the Ceph-CSI automated testing, there is [a Kubernetes Job that sets
this up](../examples/kms/vault/tenant-token.yaml) for a single Tenant that uses
the Kubernetes Namespace `tenant`.
#### Configuring Amazon KMS
Amazon KMS can be used to encrypt and decrypt the passphrases that are used for
encrypted RBD images. When a volume is created, a passphrase will be generated,
which will be encrypted by the KMS and stored in the volumes metadata. Upon
attaching the volume to a Pod, the worker node requests the KMS to decrypt the
passphrase, after which it can be used to open the device with `cryptsetup` and
provide access to it for the Pod.
There are a few settings that need to be included in the [KMS configuration
file](../examples/kms/vault/kms-config.yaml):
1. `KMS_PROVIDER`: should be set to `aws-metadata`.
1. `KMS_SECRET_NAME`: name of the Kubernetes Secret (in the Namespace where
Ceph-CSI is deployed) which contains the credentials for communicating with
AWS. This defaults to `ceph-csi-aws-credentials`.
1. `AWS_REGION`: the region where the AWS KMS service is available.
The [Secret with credentials](../examples/kms/vault/aws-credentials.yaml) for
the AWS KMS is expected to contain:
1. `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`: ID of the key to use for encrypting/decrypting
1. `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`: secret for the key to use
1. `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN`: *(optional)* session token, usually empty
1. `AWS_CMK_ARN`: Custom Master Key, ARN for the key used to encrypt the
passphrase
This Secret is expected to be created by the administrator who deployed
Ceph-CSI.
#### Configuring Amazon KMS with Amazon STS
Ceph-CSI can be configured to use
[Amazon STS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/STS/latest/APIReference/welcome.html),
when kubernetes cluster is configured with OIDC identity provider to fetch
credentials to access Amazon KMS. Other functionalities is the same as
[Amazon KMS encryption](#configuring-amazon-kms).
There are a few settings that need to be included in the [KMS configuration
file](../examples/kms/vault/kms-config.yaml):
1. `encryptionKMSType`: should be set to `aws-sts-metadata`.
1. `secretName`: name of the Kubernetes Secret (in the Namespace where
PVC is created) which contains the credentials for communicating with
AWS. This defaults to `ceph-csi-aws-credentials`.
The [Secret with credentials](../examples/kms/vault/aws-sts-credentials.yaml) for
the AWS KMS is expected to contain:
1. `awsRoleARN`: Role which will be used access credentials from AWS STS
and access AWS KMS for encryption.
1. `awsCMKARN`: Custom Master Key, ARN for the key used to encrypt the
passphrase
1. `awsRegion`: the region where the AWS STS and KMS service is available.
This Secret is expected to be created by the tenant/user in each namespace where
Ceph-CSI is used to create encrypted rbd volumes.
#### Configuring KMIP KMS
The Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) is an extensible
communication protocol that defines message formats for the manipulation
of cryptographic keys on a key management server.
Ceph-CSI can be configured to connect to various KMS servers using
[KMIP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_Management_Interoperability_Protocol)
for encrypting RBD volumes.
There are a few settings that need to be included in the [KMS configuration
file](../examples/kms/vault/kms-config.yaml):
1. `KMS_PROVIDER`: should be set to `kmip`.
1. `KMIP_ENDPOINT` KMIP endpoint address.
1. `KMIP_SECRET_NAME`(optional): name of the Kubernetes Secret which contains
the credentials for communicating with KMIP server, defaults to
`ceph-csi-kmip-credentials`.
1. `TLS_SERVER_NAME`(optional): The endpoint server name. Useful when the
KMIP endpoint does not have a DNS entry.
1. `READ_TIMEOUT`(optional): Network read timeout, in seconds. The default
value is 10.
1. `WRITE_TIMEOUT`(optional): Network write timeout, in seconds. The default
value is 10.
The [Secret with credentials](../examples/kms/vault/kmip-credentials.yaml) for
the KMIP KMS is expected to contain:
1. `CA_CERT`: CA certificate that will be used to connect to KMIP server.
1. `CLIENT_CERT`: Client certificate that will be used to connect to KMIP server.
1. `CLIENT_KEY`: Client key that will be used to connect to KMIP server.
1. `UNIQUE_IDENTIFIER`: Unique ID of the key to use for encrypting/decrypting.
### Encryption prerequisites
In order for encryption to work you need to make sure that `dm-crypt` kernel
module is enabled on the nodes running ceph-csi attachers.
If custom image is built for the rbd-plugin instance, make sure that it contains
`cryptsetup` tool installed to be able to use encryption.
