cloudformation-operator

A custom resource definition for CloudFormation stacks and a Kubernetes operator for managing them.

Key Features

Create, manage & lifecycle CloudFormation stacks via Kubernetes
Create, manage & lifecycle any AWS resources supported via CloudFormation from Kubernetes
Template Stack outputs available in-cluster for consumption of values and endpoints in other applications
Template able to be provided as inline YAML or via separate URL

Demo

The following demonstration assumes a deployed & working operator. Please see the sections further below how that can be achieved.

Create stack

Currently you don't have any stacks.

$ kubectl get stacks
No resources found.

Template

Let's create a simple one that manages an S3 bucket:

apiVersion: cloudformation.services.k8s.aws.cuppett.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Stack
metadata:
  name: my-bucket
spec:
  template: |
    ---
    AWSTemplateFormatVersion: '2010-09-09'

    Resources:
      S3Bucket:
        Type: AWS::S3::Bucket
        Properties:
          VersioningConfiguration:
            Status: Suspended

The Stack resource's definition looks a lot like any other Kubernetes resource manifest. The spec section describes an attribute called template which contains a regular CloudFormation template.

Go ahead and submit the stack definition to your cluster:

$ kubectl apply -f config/samples/s3-bucket.yaml
stack "my-bucket" created
$ kubectl get stacks
NAME        AGE
my-bucket   21s

Open your AWS CloudFormation console and find your new stack.

Once the CloudFormation stack is created check that your S3 bucket was created as well.

The operator will write back additional information about the CloudFormation Stack to your Kubernetes resource's status section, e.g. the stackID:

$ kubectl get stacks my-bucket -o yaml
spec:
  template:
  ...
status:
  stackID: arn:aws:cloudformation:eu-central-1:123456789012:stack/my-bucket/327b7d3c-f27b-4b94-8d17-92a1d9da85ab

Voilà, you just created a CloudFormation stack by only talking to Kubernetes.

Update stack

You can also update your stack resources: Let's change the VersioningConfiguration from Suspended to Enabled:

apiVersion: cloudformation.services.k8s.aws.cuppett.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Stack
metadata:
  name: my-bucket
spec:
  template: |
    ---
    AWSTemplateFormatVersion: '2010-09-09'

    Resources:
      S3Bucket:
        Type: AWS::S3::Bucket
        Properties:
          VersioningConfiguration:
            Status: Enabled

As with most Kubernetes resources you can update your Stack resource by applying a changed manifest to your Kubernetes cluster or by using kubectl edit stack my-stack.

$ kubectl apply -f config/samples/s3-bucket.yaml
stack "my-bucket" configured

Wait until the operator discovered and executed the change, then look at your AWS CloudFormation console again and find your stack being updated, yay.

Parameters

However, often you'll want to extract dynamic values out of your CloudFormation stack template into so called Parameters so that your template itself doesn't change that often and, well, is really a template.

Let's extract the VersioningConfiguration into a parameter:

apiVersion: cloudformation.services.k8s.aws.cuppett.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Stack
metadata:
  name: my-bucket
spec:
  parameters:
    VersioningConfiguration: Enabled
  template: |
    ---
    AWSTemplateFormatVersion: '2010-09-09'

    Parameters:
      VersioningConfiguration:
        Type: String
        Default: none
        AllowedValues:
        - "Enabled"
        - "Suspended"

    Resources:
      S3Bucket:
        Type: AWS::S3::Bucket
        Properties:
          VersioningConfiguration:
            Status:
              Ref: VersioningConfiguration

and apply it to your cluster:

$ kubectl apply -f config/samples/s3-bucket.yaml
stack "my-bucket" configured

Since we changed the template a little this will update your CloudFormation stack. However, since we didn't actually change anything because we injected the same VersioningConfiguration value as before, your S3 bucket shouldn't change.

Any CloudFormation parameters defined in the CloudFormation template can be specified in the Stack resource's spec.parameters section. It's a simple key/value map.

Outputs

Furthermore, CloudFormation supports Outputs. These can be used for dynamic values that are only known after a stack has been created. In our example, we don't define a particular S3 bucket name but instead let AWS generate one for us.

Let's change our CloudFormation template to expose the generated bucket name via an Output:

apiVersion: cloudformation.services.k8s.aws.cuppett.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Stack
metadata:
  name: my-bucket
spec:
  parameters:
    VersioningConfiguration: Enabled
  template: |
    ---
    AWSTemplateFormatVersion: '2010-09-09'

    Parameters:
      VersioningConfiguration:
        Type: String
        Default: none
        AllowedValues:
        - "Enabled"
        - "Suspended"

    Resources:
      S3Bucket:
        Type: AWS::S3::Bucket
        Properties:
          VersioningConfiguration:
            Status:
              Ref: VersioningConfiguration

    Outputs:
      BucketName:
        Value: !Ref 'S3Bucket'
        Description: Name of the sample Amazon S3 bucket.

Apply the change to our cluster and wait until the operator has successfully updated the CloudFormation stack.

$ kubectl apply -f config/samples/s3-bucket.yaml
stack "my-bucket" configured

Every Output you define will be available in your Kubernetes resource's status section under the outputs field as a key/value map.

Let's check the name of our S3 bucket:

$ kubectl get stacks my-bucket -o yaml
spec:
  template:
  ...
status:
  stackID: ...
  outputs:
    BucketName: my-bucket-s3bucket-tarusnslfnsj

In the template we defined an Output called BucketName that should contain the name of our bucket after stack creation. Looking up the corresponding value under .status.outputs[BucketName] reveals that our bucket was named my-bucket-s3bucket-tarusnslfnsj.

Automatic Output ConfigMap

Furthermore, outputs are written to a ConfigMap usable as environment variables, projected volumes and other types of usages within kubernetes. The name will be of the form {StackName}-cm, see the example below:

kind: ConfigMap
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: my-bucket-cm
  ownerReferences:
    - apiVersion: cloudformation.services.k8s.aws.cuppett.dev/v1alpha1
      kind: Stack
      name: my-bucket
      uid: f204b58e-09fd-49df-9a65-3d740271d2eb
      controller: true
      blockOwnerDeletion: true
data:
  BucketName: my-bucket-7980b414-s3bucket-o1n9pv47imzx

Existing ConfigMaps with an ownerReference will be ignored

Delete stack

The operator captures the whole lifecycle of a CloudFormation stack. So if you delete the resource from Kubernetes, the operator will tear down the CloudFormation stack as well. Let's do that now:

$ kubectl delete stack my-bucket
stack "my-bucket" deleted

Check your CloudFormation console once more and validate that your stack as well as your S3 bucket were deleted.

Stack Features

There are several additional capabilities of a Stack resource not included in the demo above.

Controller Config

This method of detecting/configuring can be used as a fallback to ensure a default value for all stacks is applied or to standardize a particular value cluster-wide.

apiVersion: services.k8s.aws.cuppett.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Config
metadata:
  name: default
  namespace: aws-cloudformation-operator-system
spec:
  tags: 
    bu: marketing
    cluster: prod1

NOTE: The name of Config must be default and in the namespace of the pod.

If we run the operation and a Stack resource with the described above examples, we'll see such picture:

Template URL

If your template exceeds maximum size of 51200 bytes, you can instead upload it to S3 or a standard web server, and set its URL in templateUrl:

apiVersion: cloudformation.services.k8s.aws.cuppett.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Stack
metadata:
  name: my-stack
spec:
  templateUrl: 'https://my-bucket-name.s3.amazonaws.com/template_file.json'

NOTE: Put URL in quotes to avoid templating issues

NOTE: The template URL will only be re-read by CloudFormation on operator restarts, periodically (hours), and when other updates to the Stack resource are made.

Role ARN

For indirect ownership of the operator to stack resources (described further down below), you can specify the role to be used for creating or updating resources.

apiVersion: cloudformation.services.k8s.aws.cuppett.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Stack
metadata:
  name: my-stack
spec:
  roleArn: 'arn:aws:iam::123456789000:role/cf-resources-allowed'

Notification ARNs

You can receive signals via SNS for stack changes using the CloudFormation built-in notification mechanisms. Register one or more SNS topics with your stack like this:

apiVersion: cloudformation.services.k8s.aws.cuppett.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Stack
metadata:
  name: my-stack
spec:
  notificationArns: 
  - 'arn:aws:sns:us-east-2:641875867446:alert-admin'
  - 'arn:aws:sns:us-east-2:641875867446:lambda-processor'

NOTE: Found an issue with the Go SDK, following up here: aws/aws-sdk-go-v2#1423

Workaround (to remove on Update):

Save Stack resource without NotificationARNs (or empty YAML)

Remove manually directly in AWS after successful save/update

Capabilities

CloudFormation stacks have an ability to render based on known macros and create additional IAM principals. To ensure this is desired/permitted when creating or updating stacks, it requires specifying the corresponding capability. You indicate this per-stack by providing one or more of the expected capabilities and indicating this is intended. The example below shows all the possible capabilities and those permitted by the controller. Please refer to the documentation for the descriptions and when to use each.

apiVersion: cloudformation.services.k8s.aws.cuppett.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Stack
metadata:
  name: my-stack
spec:
  capabilities: 
  - CAPABILITY_IAM
  - CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM
  - CAPABILITY_AUTO_EXPAND

Create options

onFailure

To change stack behavior on creation use onFailure that suports DELETE, DO_NOTHING, and ROLLBACK options:

apiVersion: cloudformation.services.k8s.aws.cuppett.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Stack
metadata:
  name: my-stack
spec:
  onFailure: DELETE
  template: |
    ...

stackName

To set the stack name on creation use stackName:

apiVersion: cloudformation.services.k8s.aws.cuppett.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Stack
metadata:
  name: my-stack
spec:
  stackName: well-hello-there  
  template: |
    ...

Deploying to a Cluster

You need API access to a cluster running at least Kubernetes v1.19+ (OpenShift 4.6+).

Build and publish the docker image

Use this step for building a private copy of the operator

$ make docker-build docker-push IMG=quay.io/cuppett/cloudformation-operator:latest

Deployment

Cert-Manager

This operator uses webhooks. It will require either deploying cert-manager or arranging the manifests or environment in such a way the certificates are available as described in the kube-builder documenation.

See Also: https://book.kubebuilder.io/cronjob-tutorial/cert-manager.html

Permissions

The operator will require an IAM role or user credentials. You need to make sure that the operator Pod has enough AWS IAM permissions to create, update and delete CloudFormation stacks as well as permission to modify any resources that are part of the CloudFormation stacks you intend to manage.

The following use cases for the operator are possible via the IAM features provided:

Direct ownership: The operator works against CloudFormation and management of the resources within using the credentials provided.
Indirect ownership: The operator works against CloudFormation, but management of the resources is done via the RoleARN provided in the Stack resource spec.roleArn
Assumed identity: The --assume-role command line argument is provided. The operator assumes the role using the credentials available and then that role is used in either the #1 and #2 mode above.

Minimal Policy for Indirect Ownership

Assuming no resources are to be modified by the operator directly, here is the minimal IAM policy required to allow the operator to function:

Version: '2012-10-17'
Statement:
    Resource: "*"
  - Sid: PassRole
    Effect: Allow
    Action:
      - iam:PassRole
    Resource: "*"
  - Sid: CreateRead
    Effect: Allow
    Action:
      - cloudformation:CreateStack
      - cloudformation:DescribeStackInstance
      - cloudformation:DescribeStackResource
      - cloudformation:DescribeStacks
      - cloudformation:ListStackResources
    Resource: "*"
  - Sid: UpdateDelete
    Effect: Allow
    Action:
      - cloudformation:DeleteStack
      - cloudformation:UpdateStack
    Resource: "*"
    Condition:
      StringEquals:
        aws:ResourceTag/kubernetes.io/controlled-by: cloudformation.services.k8s.aws.cuppett.dev/operator

NOTE: For direct ownership you will need to add additional policies for any resources the operator is intended to manipulate (e.g. S3, RDS, SQS). You can achieve this by associating the AWS managed policies (e.g. arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonRDSFullAccess) or by crafting and attaching your own. For individual services, refer to the AWS documentation those permissions required by CloudFormation to lifecycle those resources.

Allowing RoleARN with New or Existing Stacks

For indirect ownership, you will provide the Spec.roleArn attribute on every stack in the cluster. The role provided in the Stack resource must be able to have credentials "Passed" by CloudFormation.

See also: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/using-iam-servicerole.html

You can achieve this by adding a policy similar to the following to the operator's principal role:

Version: '2012-10-17'
Statement:
- Sid: PassRole
  Effect: Allow
  Action: iam:PassRole
  Resource: arn:aws:iam::123456789000:role/cf-resources-allowed

The effective operator role will need this for any/all roles being used/referenced by the Stack resources managed by this operator.

In addition, the spec.roleArn must have a trust relationship with the CloudFormation service as follows:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "Service": "cloudformation.amazonaws.com"
      },
      "Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
    }
  ]
}

Providing credentials

The operator will use the credentials discovered by the SDK and the default credential provider chain. If you're using EKS OIDC or similar method and give your Pod a dedicated IAM role then you have to add the permissions to that role.

To set credentials explicitly, you can use the scaffolded in AWS environment variables in the SDK kustomize manifests:

$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=XXXXX
$ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=XXXXX
$ export AWS_REGION=XXXXX

Using kustomize & make to deploy

Deploy and start the CloudFormation operator in your cluster by using the provided manifests and Makefile:

$ make deploy IMG=quay.io/cuppett/aws-cloudformation-operator:latest
/home/scuppett/go/src/github.com/cuppett/aws-cloudformation-operator/bin/controller-gen rbac:roleName=manager-role crd webhook paths="./..." output:crd:artifacts:config=config/crd/bases

Monitoring

Once running the operator should print some output but shouldn't actually do anything at this point. Leave it running & keep watching its logs as you work with Stack resources within your cluster.

Appendix: Cluster Configuration

Region

The AWS SDK for go does have a default region search order. To assist with kubernetes deployments there are a couple additional fallbacks here. It is also possible to define region within the cluster.

Controller Config

This method of detecting/configuring the region can be used as a fallback.

apiVersion: services.k8s.aws.cuppett.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Config
metadata:
  name: default
  namespace: aws-cloudformation-operator-system
spec:
  region: us-east-1

NOTE: The name of Config must be default and in the namespace of the pod.

OpenShift Infrastructure

This method will be used if all else fails (and you are running either on OpenShift or where this type is loaded). This is a cluster-wide CRD and only cluster will be looked for.

apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1
kind: Infrastructure
metadata:
  name: cluster
spec:
  cloudConfig:
    name: ''
  platformSpec:
    aws: {}
    type: AWS
status:
  ...
  platform: AWS
  platformStatus:
    aws:
      region: us-east-2
    type: AWS

Appendix: Command-line arguments

There are a number of parameters to the controller which are not in the default manifests, but that allow further customization of it. These may be useful for restricting permissions, adding specific tags or in support of various deployment topologies.

Argument	Environment variable	Default value	Description
namespace	WATCH_NAMESPACE	(all)	The Kubernetes namespace to watch. Can be one or more (separated by commas).
dry-run			If true, don't actually do anything.
no-webhook			If true, don't listen on the webhook port (used for local dev)
