Produce cluster-connectivity reports

About

This action produces cluster-connectivity reports for your K8s-based application. It will first extract the cluster's connectivity graph by scanning your repository for YAML files containing endpoint resources (e.g., Deployments) or connectivity resources (Kubernetes NetworkPolicies). It will then summarize the cluster connectivity in either a consice textual report or a graphical representation.

An example connectivity report (in md format):

query src_ns src_pods dst_ns dst_pods connection
[default] [app in (checkoutservice,frontend,recommendationservice)] [default] [productcatalogservice] TCP 3550
[default] [app in (checkoutservice,frontend)] [default] [shippingservice] TCP 50051
[default] [frontend] [default] [checkoutservice] TCP 5050
[default] [cartservice] [default] [redis-cart] TCP 6379
[default] [app in (checkoutservice,frontend)] [default] [currencyservice] TCP 7000
[default] [app in (checkoutservice,frontend)] [default] [cartservice] TCP 7070
ip block: 0.0.0.0/0 [default] [frontend] TCP 8080
[default] [checkoutservice] [default] [emailservice] TCP 8080
[default] [frontend] [default] [recommendationservice] TCP 8080
[default] [loadgenerator] [default] [frontend] TCP 8080
[default] [frontend] [default] [adservice] TCP 9555

This action is part of a wider attempt to provide shift-left automation for generating and maintaining Kubernetes Network Policies.

Inputs

deployment-path

Outputs

conn-results-artifact

The name of the artifact containing the connectivity report

conn-results-file
