# Encrypted Volumes with a ServiceAccount per Tenant
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- Hashicorp Vault with Kubernetes Auth
|
|
- each Tenant (=Namespace) has a ServiceAccount to connect to Vault
|
|
- each Tenant can override Vault configuration options (like `BackendPath`)
|
|
|
|
## Similarities with available KMS implementations
|
|
|
|
Ceph-CSI provides several KMS implementations with different functionalities.
|
|
Two implementations use Hashicorp Vault and could be used as a base for a new
|
|
KMS implementation. Or, if changes would be minimal, a configuration option to
|
|
one of the implementations can be added.
|
|
|
|
Different KMS implementations and their configurable options can be found at
|
|
[`csi-kms-connection-details.yaml`](../../../examples/kms/vault/csi-kms-connection-details.yaml).
|
|
|
|
### VaultTokensKMS
|
|
|
|
- global configuration in the Namespace where Ceph-CSI is deployed
|
|
- optional configuration per Tenant, allows for overriding Vault options
|
|
- fetches a Secret from the Tenants (volume owner) namespace
|
|
|
|
An example of the per Tenant configuration options are in
|
|
[`tenant-config.yaml`](../../../examples/kms/vault/tenant-config.yaml) and
|
|
[`tenant-token.yaml`](../../../examples/kms/vault/tenant-token.yaml).
|
|
|
|
Implementation is in [`vault_tokens.go`](../../../internal/util/vault_tokens.go).
|
|
|
|
### Vault
|
|
|
|
- uses Kubernetes Auth with single service account (aka storage admin account)
|
|
|
|
Implementation is in [`vault.go`](../../../internal/util/vault.go).
|
|
|
|
## Extension or New KMS implementation
|
|
|
|
Normally ServiceAccounts are provided by Kubernetes in the containers
|
|
filesystem. This only allows a single ServiceAccount and is static for the
|
|
lifetime of the Pod. Ceph-CSI runs in the namespace of the storage
|
|
administrator, and has access to the single ServiceAccount linked in the
|
|
deployments of the Pods.
|
|
|
|
For Ceph-CSI to dynamically use ServiceAccounts from tenants, the following
|
|
steps need to be taken:
|
|
|
|
- use the Namespace of the volume to identify the Tenant
|
|
- identify the right ServiceAccount in the Tenants Namespace
|
|
- read and parse the ServiceAccount contents
|
|
- provide the ServiceAccount contents as a (temporary) directory structure
|
|
- setup the Vault connection to use the contents from the ServiceAccount to
|
|
replace the default (`AuthKubernetesTokenPath:
|
|
/var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token`)
|
|
|
|
Currently the Ceph-CSI components may read Secrets and ConfigMaps from the
|
|
Tenants namespace. These permissions need to be extended to allow Ceph-CSI to
|
|
read the contents of the ServiceAccount(s) in the Tenants namespace.
|
|
|
|
## High-Level Design
|
|
|
|
### Global Configuration
|
|
|
|
1. a StorageClass links to a KMS configuration by providing the `kmsID` parameter
|
|
1. a ConfigMap in the namespace of the Ceph-CSI deployment contains the KMS
|
|
configuration for the `kmsID`
|
|
([`csi-kms-connection-details.yaml`](../../../examples/kms/vault/csi-kms-connection-details.yaml))
|
|
|
|
When Ceph-CSI receives a `CreateVolume` request, the parameters from the
|
|
StorageClass and details about the requested Volume are available. The Ceph-CSI
|
|
provisioner checks the `kmsID` parameter and fetches the matching KMS
|
|
configuration from the ConfigMap.
|
|
|
|
### Tenant Configuration
|
|
|
|
1. needs ServiceAccount with a known name with permissions to connect to Vault
|
|
1. optional ConfigMap with options for Vault that override default settings
|
|
|
|
A `CreateVolume` request contains the owner (Namespace) of the Volume.
|
|
The KMS configuration indicates that additional attributes need to be fetched
|
|
from the Tenants namespace, so the provisioner will fetch these. The additional
|
|
configuration and ServiceAccount are merged in the provisioners configuration
|
|
for the KMS-implementation while creating the volume.
