☸️ How to Deploy a Secured OVHCloud Managed Kubernetes Cluster Using Terraform in 2023

#ovh #terraform #kubernetes #cloud

Initial thoughts

Terraform is an infrastructure as code tool that lets you build, change, and version cloud and on-prem resources safely and efficiently.

Surprisingly, complete Terraform examples deploying an OVHCloud Kubernetes cluster with private nodes can be hard to find. This blog post is there to fill that whole. Most pieces of code have been found in a Github repo gathering OVHCloud Terraform examples, thanks to Olivier BEAUTIER

We detail here how to deploy, using Terraform, an OVHCloud secured Kubernetes cluster with the following characteristics:

  • A VPC network with private subnets using a gateway to internet
  • A Kubernetes cluster with nodes in the private subnets
  • Docker registries
  • A secured managed PostGreSQL redondant database with restricted access

Resulting architecture is very close to this:

Secured kubernetes cluster

Prerequisites

For the below file blocks to work, you need to know the basics of Terraform.

This example uses Terraform workspaces to segregate environments, which is not a conventional practice. But this won't prevent you from massively take advantage of it.

Before anything else, you need:

  • an existing S3 bucket to store Terraform state, please follow official documentation to create one
  • an OpenStack user in OVHCloud console
  • to follow this guide to get OpenStack variables
  • OVHCloud Application key, secret and consumer key that are personal and can be generated online

Variables

Here are variables used by most resources described below. All are simple values.

Safe variables

Let's start with safe variables, that you can commit to your repo.

variable "region" {
  description = "OVH region from https://www.ovhcloud.com/en/public-cloud/regions-availability/"
  default     = "GRA9"
}

variable "global_region" {
  description = "OVH global location for PostGreSQL and bucket"
  default     = "GRA"
}

variable "project_id" {
  description = "OVH tenant or project ID"
  default = {
    staging = "0ebdc4435exxx"
    prod    = "7eb505ec0fyyy"
  }
}

variable "openstack_tenant" {
  description = "OpenStack provider tenant or project name"
  default = {
    staging = "4795193xxx"
    prod    = "3081355yyy"
  }
}

variable "openstack_user" {
  description = "OpenStack provider user name"
  default = {
    staging = "user-Xnernxxx"
    prod    = "user-wn8YNyyy"
  }
}

variable "vlan_id" {
  description = "VLAN ID for staging and production not to overlap. By default it is max(VLAN IDs on the project) + 1, so they would surely overlap"
  default = {
    staging = "1000"
    prod    = "2000"
  }
}

Secret variables

Let's add secret variables, not suitable for commit to your repo.


variable "openstack_password" {
  description = "OpenStack provider password"
  default = {
    staging = "sHwxxx"
    prod    = "pRsyyy"
  }
}

# from https://www.ovh.com/auth/api/createToken?GET=/*&POST=/*&PUT=/*&DELETE=/*
variable "ovh_application_key" {
  description = "OVH provider application key"
  default = {
    staging = "1abbxxx"
    prod    = "b565yyy"
  }
}

# idem
variable "ovh_application_secret" {
  description = "OVH provider application secret"
  default = {
    staging = "7d5f76xxx"
    prod    = "19b419yyy"
  }
}

# idem
variable "ovh_consumer_key" {
  description = "OVH provider consumer key"
  default = {
    staging = "cc080axxx"
    prod    = "99f526yyy"
  }

Providers and locals

Here are Terraform providers.

A main difference from main cloud providers is the clear mention of OpenStack, for which you will have to create a provider too, in addition to OVHCloud Terraform provider.


terraform {

  backend "s3" {
    bucket                      = "my-app-production-admin"
    key                         = "terraform" # (Required) Path to the state file inside the S3 Bucket. When using a non-default workspace, the state path will be /workspace_key_prefix/workspace_name/key
    region                      = "gra"
    endpoint                    = "https://s3.gra.io.cloud.ovh.net/"
    skip_credentials_validation = true
    skip_region_validation      = true

    ### variables not allowed

      version = "~> 0.27.0"
    }
    openstack = {
      source  = "terraform-provider-openstack/openstack"
      version = "~> 1.49.0"
    }
  }
  required_version = "~> 1.3.6"
}

provider "ovh" {
  endpoint           = "ovh-eu"                                        # or OVH_ENDPOINT

The enclosing VPC network

Here is a sample Terraform block for the VPC network where the Kubernetes cluster will be created.


data "openstack_networking_network_v2" "ext_net" {
  name   = "Ext-Net"
  region = var.region
}

resource "openstack_networking_network_v2" "private_network" {
  name           = "${terraform.workspace}-private-network"
  region         = var.region

  enable_dhcp     = true
  no_gateway      = false
  dns_nameservers = ["1.1.1.1", "1.0.0.1"]

  value_specs = {
    "provider:network_type"    = "vrack"
    "provider:segmentation_id" = var.vlan_id[terraform.workspace]
  }

  allocation_pool {
    start = "192.168.12.100"
    end   = "192.168.12.254"
  }
}

resource "openstack_networking_router_v2" "router" {
  region              = var.region
  name                = "${terraform.workspace}-router"
  admin_state_up      = true
  external_network_id = data.openstack_networking_network_v2.ext_net.id

The actual Kubernetes cluster

Now serving the main dish: the Kubernetes cluster.

Node autoscaling is not activated in this example, but nothing prevents you from doing so.


resource "ovh_cloud_project_kube" "cluster" {
  service_name = var.project_id[terraform.workspace]
  name         = "${terraform.workspace}-cluster"
  region       = var.region

  private_network_id = openstack_networking_network_v2.private_network.id

  private_network_configuration {
    default_vrack_gateway              = "192.168.12.1"
    private_network_routing_as_default = true
  }

  customization {
    apiserver {
      admissionplugins {
        enabled  = ["NodeRestriction"]
        disabled = ["AlwaysPullImages"] # the long-awaited option <3, see https://github.com/ovh/public-cloud-roadmap/issues/70#issuecomment-1235364408
      }
    }
  }
}

resource "ovh_cloud_project_kube_nodepool" "node_pool" {
  service_name = var.project_id[terraform.workspace]
  name         = "${terraform.workspace}-pool"
  kube_id      = ovh_cloud_project_kube.cluster.id
  flavor_name  = "b2-15"
  ## TODO: configure using https://docs.ovh.com/us/en/kubernetes/configuring-cluster-autoscaler/, not available in terraform
  # autoscale = true
  desired_nodes = 3
  max_nodes     = 3
  min_nodes     = 3

  timeouts {
    create = "1h" # default 20m ; OVH can be real slow on this one, and will consider a duplicate on next run
  }
}

resource "local_sensitive_file" "kubeconfig" {
  content         = ovh_cloud_project_kube.cluster.kubeconfig
  filename        = "${terraform.workspace}.kubeconfig"
  file_permission = "0644"

  depends_on = [ovh_cloud_project_kube.cluster, ovh_cloud_project_kube_nodepool.node_pool]
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Kubernetes specific outputs

kube-config file is given as an output, don't forget to move it, or define KUBECONFIG viable, to be able to use the cluster locally.

Other cluster users will be able to get kube-config in console.

Docker registries

Most of us deploy Kubernetes cluster for custom applications, so here are OVHCloud docker registries blocks.


data "ovh_cloud_project_capabilities_containerregistry_filter" "regcap" {
  service_name = var.project_id[terraform.workspace]
  plan_name    = "SMALL"
  region       = var.global_region
}

# no need for sub-registries ; the modules will be the image name

  name         = "${terraform.workspace}-registry"
  service_name = data.ovh_cloud_project_capabilities_containerregistry_filter.regcap.service_name
  plan_id      = data.ovh_cloud_project_capabilities_containerregistry_filter.regcap.id
  region       = data.ovh_cloud_project_capabilities_containerregistry_filter.regcap.region

Private docker registry creation

NOTE: for now, this is not possible using Terraform, so this action stays manual

  • Connect to docker_registry_credentials_url given in Terraform outputs above and generate identification details

  • With generated credentials, connect to docker_registry_harbor_url given in Terraform outputs

  • Create a 'private' project here as private

You will then be able to push images with a full name like xxxx.gra7.container-registry.ovh.net/private/my-app:my-tag

Kubernetes cluster to registry integration

Integration with the Kubernetes cluster is not automatic. You have to get credentials and add them in the cluster as a secret.

  • Use terraform outputs: 
terraform output --raw docker_registry_k8s_secret_creation_command && echo ""
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

  • Apply the generated command to create the secret

  • Tell your service account to use it:

kubectl -n MY_NAMESPACE patch serviceaccount default -p '{"imagePullSecrets": [{"name": "ovh-docker-reg-cred"}]}'

Optional: PostGreSQL managed database

Best practice for Kubernetes is to stay stateless, so here is an optional secured managed PostGreSQL, which access is only from the Kubernetes cluster. In this example, databases backendand auth-server are created on the same managed instance.

Optional: Cloud storage compatible with S3

Another optional yet important part of application hosting, is a S3 compatible storage with access from one user known by the Kubernetes cluster.

There is a need for the AWS provider for this, else a Swift cloud storage is created. The fully automated Terraform process is:

  • creation of an admin S3 user
  • use of this user to configure the AWS provider
  • creation of the S3 bucket and associated bucket user

First add this in the provider part:

terraform {

  [...]

  required_providers {
    [...]
    aws = { # for bucket with S3 API
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "~> 4.0"
    }
  }

}

provider "aws" {
  region     = lower(var.global_region)
  access_key = ovh_cloud_project_user_s3_credential.s3_admin_cred.access_key_id
  secret_key = ovh_cloud_project_user_s3_credential.s3_admin_cred.secret_access_key

  #OVH implementation has no STS service
  skip_credentials_validation = true
  skip_requesting_account_id  = true
  # the gra region is unknown to AWS hence skipping is needed.
  skip_region_validation = true
  endpoints {
    s3 = "https://s3.${lower(var.global_region)}.io.cloud.ovh.net"
  }
}

Then you can create a S3 compatible cloud storage:

S3 specific outputs

Unlike AWS, you will have to store credentials in cluster, next to your application needing the access, or in a secret manager (such as HashiCorp Vault).


output "s3_access_key_id" {
  description = "my-app backend app S3 ACCESS_KEY_ID"
  value       = ovh_cloud_project_user_s3_credential.backend.access_key_id
}

output "s3_secret_access_key" {
  description = "my-app backend app S3 SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"
  value       = ovh_cloud_project_user_s3_credential.backend.secret_access_key
  # won't be printed on 'terraform apply'. You have to run:
  # terraform -chdir=devops/infra/staging-prod output --raw s3_secret_access_key && echo ""
  sensitive = true
}

output "s3_endpoint" {
  description = "my-app backend bucket S3 endpoint"
  value       = "https://s3.${lower(var.global_region)}.io.cloud.ovh.net"
}

Wrapping up

Getting all these pieces of Terraform code together, you should be able to deploy a cluster in one command under 30 minutes.

If you think some code should be improved, please advise in the comments 🤓

You can go further with optimizing your cluster costs by picking generic advice from the article FinOps EKS: 10 tips to reduce the bill up to 90% on AWS managed Kubernetes clusters.

Wonder if it is worthy to use OVHCloud managed cluster alongside your already existing AWS clusters ? You can have a look at Managed Kubernetes: Our dev is on AWS, our prod is on OVHCloud.

Thanks this article ! Here are a few comments :

  1. to reduce the pre requisites, you can create the openstack user from cloud_project_user. Example on this file
  2. Did you try to use the harbor_project resource to avoid the manual creation ?
  3. the k8s registry integration kubectl may be possible with hashicorp kubernetes provider

Note that terraform may have some difficulties to initiate the providers that are dependent of another (see this long lasting issue for workarounds)
