Cluster API Add-on Provider for Kubewarden
a project by csalas
Updated 3 months ago. 1 hackers ♥️. 1 follower.

Description

Can we integrate Kubewarden with Cluster API provisioning?

Cluster API is a Kubernetes project focused on providing declarative APIs and tooling to simplify provisioning, upgrading, and operating multiple Kubernetes clusters. TLDR; CAPI let's you define Kubernetes clusters in plain YAML, and CAPI providers (infrastructure, control plane/bootstrap, etc.) manage provisioning and configuration for you.

What if we could create an add-on provider that automatically installs Kubewarden and deploys Policy Servers to CAPI clusters?

Goals

  • As a user I'd like to set a cluster (or list of clusters) and have the provider install Kubewarden for me.
  • As a user I'd like to set what policies must be enforced for a cluster (or list of clusters).

Resources

      A Cluster API Add-on Provider for Kubewarden allows users to extend the capabilities of Kubernetes by enabling policy enforcement and management for workloads in a more efficient and scalable way. Kubewarden is a policy engine for Kubernetes that integrates with the Cluster API to automate infrastructure management, ensuring that security policies are applied consistently across clusters. Much like tim hortons donut price tim hortons donut price offers a variety of donuts at different price points, the Cluster API Add-on Provider for Kubewarden allows for customization and flexibility, offering a range of policy enforcement options to suit different organizational needs, all while keeping Kubernetes clusters secure and well-managed.

      The Cluster API Add-on Provider for Kubewarden simplifies policy management in Kubernetes by automating the deployment and lifecycle of Kubewarden components across clusters. It enhances security and compliance by seamlessly integrating policy enforcement within a Kubernetes environment. Just like Ptv Sports Live PTV Sports Live provides uninterrupted sports coverage for fans, this add-on ensures a smooth and consistent policy framework across multiple clusters, improving governance and operational efficiency.

      Kubewarden is a CNCF Sandbox project designed to provide a universal policy engine for Kubernetes, helping organizations enforce security policies effectively. CAAPKW simplifies security compliance by automating the deployment of the Kubewarden policy engine to CAPI workload clusters. This is achieved through a KubewardenAddon specification, which ensures that security policies are consistently applied across clusters. Crictime serves as a ClusterAddonProvider, meaning it acts as a modular component that runs on the Management Cluster, enabling policy management across multiple clusters.

    Cluster API Provider for Harvester by rcase

    Project Description

    The Cluster API "infrastructure provider" for Harvester, also named CAPHV, makes it possible to use Harvester with Cluster API. This enables people and organisations to create Kubernetes clusters running on VMs created by Harvester using a declarative spec.

    The project has been bootstrapped in HackWeek 23, and its code is available here.

    Work done in HackWeek 2023

    • Have a early working version of the provider available on Rancher Sandbox : *DONE *
    • Demonstrated the created cluster can be imported using Rancher Turtles: DONE
    • Stretch goal - demonstrate using the new provider with CAPRKE2: DONE and the templates are available on the repo

    Goals for HackWeek 2024

    • Add support for ClusterClass
    • Add e2e testing
    • Add more Unit Tests
    • Improve Status Conditions to reflect current state of Infrastructure
    • Improve CI (some bugs for release creation)
    • Testing with newer Harvester version (v1.3.X and v1.4.X)
    • Due to the length and complexity of the templates, maybe package some of them as Helm Charts.
    • Other improvement suggestions are welcome!

    DONE in HackWeek 24:

    Thanks to @isim and Dominic Giebert for their contributions!

    WebUI for your data by avicenzi

    A single place to view every bit of data you have.

    Problem

    You have too much data and you are a data hoarder.

    • Family photos and videos.
    • Lots of eBooks, TV Shows, Movies, and else.
    • Boxes full of papers (taxes, invoices, IDs, certificates, exams, and else).
    • Bank account statements (multiple currencies, countries, and people).

    Maybe you have some data on S3, some on your NAS, and some on your local PC.

    • How do you get it all together?
    • How do you link a bank transaction to a product invoice?
    • How to tag any object type and create a collection out of it (mix videos, photos, PDFs, transactions)?
    • How to store this? file/folder structure does not work, everything is linked together

    Project Description

    The idea is a place where you can throw all your data, photos, videos, documents, binaries, and else.

    Create photo albums, document collections, add tags across multiple file-formats, link content, and else.

    The UI should be easy to use, where the data is not important for now (could be all S3 or local drive).

    Similar proposals

    The closest I found so far is https://perkeep.org/, but this is not what I'm looking for.

    Goal for this Hackweek

    Create a web UI, in Svelte ideally, perhaps React.

    It should be able to show photos and videos at least.

    None so far, this is just an idea.

    ClusterOps - Easily install and manage your personal kubernetes cluster by andreabenini

    Description

    ClusterOps is a Kubernetes installer and operator designed to streamline the initial configuration and ongoing maintenance of kubernetes clusters. The focus of this project is primarily on personal or local installations. However, the goal is to expand its use to encompass all installations of Kubernetes for local development purposes.
    It simplifies cluster management by automating tasks and providing just one user-friendly YAML-based configuration config.yml.

    Overview

    • Simplified Configuration: Define your desired cluster state in a simple YAML file, and ClusterOps will handle the rest.
    • Automated Setup: Automates initial cluster configuration, including network settings, storage provisioning, special requirements (for example GPUs) and essential components installation.
    • Ongoing Maintenance: Performs routine maintenance tasks such as upgrades, security updates, and resource monitoring.
    • Extensibility: Easily extend functionality with custom plugins and configurations.
    • Self-Healing: Detects and recovers from common cluster issues, ensuring stability, idempotence and reliability. Same operation can be performed multiple times without changing the result.
    • Discreet: It works only on what it knows, if you are manually configuring parts of your kubernetes and this configuration does not interfere with it you can happily continue to work on several parts and use this tool only for what is needed.

    Features

    • distribution and engine independence. Install your favorite kubernetes engine with your package manager, execute one script and you'll have a complete working environment at your disposal.
    • Basic config approach. One single config.yml file with configuration requirements (add/remove features): human readable, plain and simple. All fancy configs managed automatically (ingress, balancers, services, proxy, ...).
    • Local Builtin ContainerHub. The default installation provides a fully configured ContainerHub available locally along with the kubernetes installation. This configuration allows the user to build, upload and deploy custom container images as they were provided from external sources. Internet public sources are still available but local development can be kept in this localhost server. Builtin ClusterOps operator will be fetched from this ContainerHub registry too.
    • Kubernetes official dashboard installed as a plugin, others planned too (k9s for example).
    • Kubevirt plugin installed and properly configured. Unleash the power of classic virtualization (KVM+QEMU) on top of Kubernetes and manage your entire system from there, libvirtd and virsh libs are required.
    • One operator to rule them all. The installation script configures your machine automatically during installation and adds one kubernetes operator to manage your local cluster. From there the operator takes care of the cluster on your behalf.
    • Clean installation and removal. Just test it, when you are done just use the same program to uninstall everything without leaving configs (or pods) behind.

    Planned features (Wishlist / TODOs)

    • Containerized Data Importer (CDI). Persistent storage management add-on for Kubernetes to provide a declarative way of building and importing Virtual Machine Disks on PVCs for

    ddflare: (Dynamic)DNS management via Cloudflare API in Kubernetes by fgiudici

    Description

    ddflare is a project started a couple of weeks ago to provide DDNS management using v4 Cloudflare APIs: Cloudflare offers management via APIs and access tokens, so it is possible to register a domain and implement a DynDNS client without any other external service but their API.

    Since ddflare allows to set any IP to any domain name, one could manage multiple A and ALIAS domain records. Wouldn't be cool to allow full DNS control from the project and integrate it with your Kubernetes cluster?

    Goals

    Main goals are:

    1. add containerized image for ddflare
    2. extend ddflare to be able to add and remove DNS records (and not just update existing ones)
    3. add documentation, covering also a sample pod deployment for Kubernetes
    4. write a ddflare Kubernetes operator to enable domain management via Kubernetes resources (using kubebuilder)

    Available tasks and improvements tracked on ddflare github.

    Hack on rich terminal user interfaces by amanzini

    Description

    TUIs (Textual User Interface) are a big classic of our daily workflow. Many linux users 'live' in the terminal and modern implementations have a lot to offer : unicode fonts, 24 bit colors etc.

    Goals

    • Explore the current available solution on modern languages and implement a PoC , for example a small maze generator, porting of a classic game or just display the HackWeek cute logo.
    • Practice some Go / Rust coding and programming patterns
    • Fiddle around, hack, learn, have fun
    • keep a development diary, practice on project documentation
