Which issue is resolved by this Pull Request:
Resolves #2014

Description of your changes:

The main steps are adding an additional profile for istio-cni or ambient mesh, updating the documentation and manifest generation process. Then adding the baseline and restricted PSS as kustomize component to /contrib and extending the profile controller to annotate user namespaces with configurable PSS labels.

First Stage:

  1. Implement Istio 1.17.5 and use it by default. This is important for the Kubeflow 1.8 feature freeze
  2. Implement istio-cni (--set components.cni.enabled=true --set components.cni.namespace=kube-system) as second option.
  3. Add simple tests similar to tests/gh-actions/install_istio.sh and tests/gh-actions/install_knative.sh for istio-cni and support both rootfull and rootless istio at the same time and give users one release to test

Second stage in a second PR:
4. Add pod security standards (https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/security/pod-security-standards/) base/restricted to manifests/contrib
5. Add istio-ambient to Kubeflow 1.9
6. Enforce PSS baseline (here you can still build OCI containers via Podman and buildah) in Kubeflow 1.9. It works with any istio
7. Optionally Enforce PSS restricted (this is where minor corner cases are affected) in Kubeflow 1.10

Third stage:
10. Upgrade Istio to 1.19 and use ambient service mesh by default in Kubeflow 1.10

Checklist:

  • Unit tests pass:
    Make sure you have installed kustomize == 3.2.1
    1. make generate-changed-only
    2. make test

To clarify, this pull request is the rootful daemonset with rootless sidecar solution?

yes. The damonset is completely isolated and can be managed by the cluster operators. It resides in kube-system so it becomes part of the underlying cluster then. There is no network interaction at all

We are also running istio-cni to remove sidecar root requirement privileges, it is working fine us

We ended up shifting to use a dedicated physical cluster instead of a virtual cluster for kubeflow, but we still want to try out this model to improve our security footprint. Looking forward to when this work is merged

@juliusvonkohout what's the state of this PR? Is it ready for review?

My only concern with the CNI is the initContainer redirection, which could break KServe etc that also has init container that fetches data #2014 (comment).

What's the state with this?

Yes, always reach out in the Kubeflow slack.

The istio package is upgraded to the latest stable version, 1.18.1. This
upgrade is needed for running Kubeflow with rootless containers, as
there are a lot of improvements in the latest istio version for that.

It would be easier to review if the PR is separated into

* 1.17.5 upgrade

* Istio-cni

* contrib components

Also for contrib, can you edit to follow https://github.com/kubeflow/manifests/blob/master/proposals/20220926-contrib-component-guidelines.md?

I will just remove /contrib from this PR for now. I think the istio changes should stay together here.

The Istio CNI functionality is still experimental, that's why the github
action is triggered manually for now. Added an automatic trigger as well
- on every PR that uses ISTIO CNI code.

If I understand the trigger correctly, only people with write access will have access to trigger the workflow based on workflow_dispatch. So, not sure if it's necessary to keep

@juliusvonkohout The knative serving and kubeflow pods are still stuck with isito-init failing as described in Issue #2338. I was trying to run on Openshift 4.12.x and 4.13.x.

@mpaulgreen The istio-cni documentation says that for openshifts special cni implementation you need the networkattachmentdefinitions. But we will not cover this here.

And the logs you posted there look like the normal istio. This PR here is for istio-CNI. I used both istios on Openshift, so it works. But you have to configure both specifically for Openshift, since Openshift has some special defaults and a different CNI plugin that needs extra settings. As said in the other issue consulting is available, just reach out on slack or linkedin.

But please only discuss istio-CNI here. This PR is for development, not paid support.

@juliusvonkohout You are correct. There are some additional configuration required istio-cni for OpenShift. I will stop posting defects of kubeflow with istio here.
