Terraform Provider Kong

The Kong Terraform Provider tested against real Kong!

Notice

I have recently updated the provider to use v1.0.0 of gokong this pulls in the changes to use pointers to all api fields. If you update to the latest provider be aware of this change. Terraform may want to update some api resources as this fixes a bug where if you set a string from a value to "" it will now be treated as empty string and not ignored. If you have set any of your api fields to empty string this will now be picked up.

Requirements

• Terraform 0.10.x
• Go 1.8 (to build the provider plugin)

Usage

First, install the desired plugin release following Terraform's Third-party plugin docs.

To configure the provider:

provider "kong" {
    kong_admin_uri = "http://myKong:8001"
}

Optionally you can configure Username and Password for BasicAuth:

provider "kong" {
    kong_admin_uri  = "http://myKong:8001"
    kong_admin_username = "youruser"
    kong_admin_password = "yourpass"
}

You can use environment variables to set the provider properties instead. The following table shows all of the config options, the corresponding environment variables and their property defaults if you do not set them. When using the kong_api_key parameter ensure that the key name parameter in the key-auth plugin is set to apikey.

Provider property	Env variable	Default if not set	Use
kong_admin_uri	KONG_ADMIN_ADDR	http://localhost:8001	The url of the kong admin api
kong_admin_username	KONG_ADMIN_USERNAME	not set	Username for the kong admin api
kong_admin_password	KONG_ADMIN_PASSWORD	not set	Password for the kong admin api
tls_skip_verify	TLS_SKIP_VERIFY	false	Whether to skip tls certificate verification for the kong api when using https
kong_api_key	KONG_API_KEY	not set	API key used to secure the kong admin API
kong_admin_token	KONG_ADMIN_TOKEN	not set	API key used to secure the kong admin API in the Enterprise Edition

Resources

Services

resource "kong_service" "service" {
	name     	= "test"
	protocol 	= "http"
	host     	= "test.org"
	port     	= 8080
	path     	= "/mypath"
	retries  	= 5
	connect_timeout = 1000
	write_timeout 	= 2000
	read_timeout  	= 3000

}

The service resource maps directly onto the json for the service endpoint in Kong. For more information on the parameters see the Kong Service create documentation.

To import a service:

terraform import kong_service.<service_identifier> <service_id>

Routes

resource "kong_route" "route" {
	protocols 	= [ "http", "https" ]
	methods 	= [ "GET", "POST" ]
	hosts 		= [ "example2.com" ]
	paths 		= [ "/test" ]
	strip_path 	= false
	preserve_host 	= true
	service_id 	= "${kong_service.service.id}"
}

The route resource maps directly onto the json for the route endpoint in Kong. For more information on the parameters see the Kong Route create documentation.

To import a route:

terraform import kong_route.<route_identifier> <route_id>

Apis

resource "kong_api" "api" {
    name 	             = "TestApi"
    hosts                    = [ "example.com" ]
    uris 	             = [ "/example" ]
    methods                  = [ "GET", "POST" ]
    upstream_url             = "http://localhost:4140"
    strip_uri                = false
    preserve_host            = false
    retries                  = 3
    upstream_connect_timeout = 60000
    upstream_send_timeout    = 30000
    upstream_read_timeout    = 10000
    https_only               = false
    http_if_terminated       = false
}

The api resource maps directly onto the json for the API endpoint in Kong. For more information on the parameters see the Kong Api create documentation.

To import an API:

terraform import kong_api.<api_identifier> <api_id>

Plugins

resource "kong_plugin" "response_rate_limiting" {
    name   = "response-ratelimiting"
    config = {
        limits.sms.minute = 10
    }
}

The plugin resource maps directly onto the json for the API endpoint in Kong. For more information on the parameters see the Kong Api create documentation.

To import a plugin:

terraform import kong_plugin.<plugin_identifier> <plugin_id>

Here is a more complex example for creating a plugin for a consumer and an API:

resource "kong_api" "api" {
    name 	             = "TestApi"
    hosts                    = [ "example.com" ]
    uris 	             = [ "/example" ]
    methods                  = [ "GET", "POST" ]
    upstream_url             = "http://localhost:4140"
    strip_uri                = false
    preserve_host            = false
    retries                  = 3
    upstream_connect_timeout = 60000
    upstream_send_timeout    = 30000
    upstream_read_timeout    = 10000
    https_only               = false
    http_if_terminated       = false
}

resource "kong_consumer" "plugin_consumer" {
    username  = "PluginUser"
    custom_id = "111"
}

resource "kong_plugin" "rate_limit" {
    name        = "response-ratelimiting"
    api_id 	= "${kong_api.api.id}"
    consumer_id = "${kong_consumer.plugin_consumer.id}"
    config      = {
        limits.sms.minute = 77
    }
}

Configure plugins for a consumer

Some plugins allow you to configure them for a specific consumer for example the jwt and key-auth plugins. To configure a plugin for a consumer this terraform provider provides a generic way to do this for all plugins the kong_consumer_plugin_config resource.

resource "kong_consumer_plugin_config" "consumer_jwt_config" {
    consumer_id = "876bf719-8f18-4ce5-cc9f-5b5af6c36007"
    plugin_name = "jwt"
    config_json = <<EOT
        {
	    "key": "my_key",
	    "secret": "my_secret"
	}
EOT
}

The example above shows configuring the jwt plugin for a consumer.

consumer_id is the consumer id you want to configure the plugin for plugin_name the name of the plugin you want to configure config_json this is the configuration json for how you want to configure the plugin. The json is passed straight through to kong as is. You can get the json config from the Kong documentation page of the plugin you are configuring

Other plugins must be configured using key/value pairs, for example the acl plugin. To update a plugin using key value pairs configure the "kong_consumer_plugin_config" resource.

resource "kong_consumer_plugin_config" "consumer_acl_config" {
    consumer_id = "876bf719-8f18-4ce5-cc9f-5b5af6c36007"
    plugin_name = "acls"
    config      = {
        group = "your_acl_group"
    }
}

All parameters are the same as above except the config parameter. config is a map of key/value pairs you wish to pass as the configuration.

NOTE: You can only have either config or config_json configured, not both.

Consumers

resource "kong_consumer" "consumer" {
    username  = "User1"
    custom_id = "123"
}

The consumer resource maps directly onto the json for creating an Consumer in Kong. For more information on the parameters see the Kong Consumer create documentation.

To import a consumer:

terraform import kong_consumer.<consumer_identifier> <consumer_id>

Certificates

resource "kong_certificate" "certificate" {
    certificate  = "public key --- 123 ----"
    private_key = "private key --- 456 ----"
}

certificate should be the public key of your certificate it is mapped to the Cert parameter on the Kong API. private_key should be the private key of your certificate it is mapped to the Key parameter on the Kong API.

For more information on creating certificates in Kong see their documentation

To import a certificate:

terraform import kong_certificate.<certifcate_identifier> <certificate_id>

SNIs

resource "kong_certificate" "certificate" {
    certificate  = "public key --- 123 ----"
    private_key  = "private key --- 456 ----"
}

resource "kong_sni" "sni" {
    name  	   = "www.example.com"
    certificate_id = "${kong_certificate.certificate.id}"
}

name is your domain you want to assign to the certificate certificate_id is the id of a certificate

For more information on creating SNIs in Kong see their documentaton

To import a SNI:

terraform import kong_sni.<sni_identifier> <sni_id>

Upstreams

resource "kong_upstream" "upstream" {
    name  		= "sample_upstream"
    slots 		= 10
}

Data Sources

APIs

To look up an existing api you can do so by using a filter:

data "kong_api" "api_data_source" {
    filter = {
        id = "de539d26-97d2-4d5b-aaf9-628e51087d9c"
	name = "TestDataSourceApi"
	upstream_url = "http://localhost:4140"
    }
}

Each of the filter parameters are optional and they are combined for an AND search against all APIs. The following output parameters are returned:

• id - the id of the API
• name - the name of the API
• hosts - a list of the hosts configured on the API
• uris - a list of the uri prefixes for the API
• methods - a list of the allowed methods on the API
• upstream_url - the upstream url for the API
• strip_uri - whether the API strips the matching prefix from the uri
• preserve_host - whether the API forwards the host header onto the upstream service
• retries - number of retries the API executes upon failure to the upstream service
• upstream_connect_timeout - the timeout in milliseconds for establishing a connection to your upstream service
• upstream_send_timeout - the timeout in milliseconds between two successive write operations for transmitting a request to your upstream service
• upstream_read_timeout - the timeout in milliseconds between two successive read operations for transmitting a request to your upstream service
• https_only - whether the API is served through HTTPS
• http_if_terminated - whether the API considers the X-Forwarded-Proto header when enforcing HTTPS only traffic

Certificates

To look up an existing certificate:

data "kong_certificate" "certificate_data_source" {
    filter = {
        id = "471c625a-4eba-4b78-985f-86cf54a2dc12"
    }
}

You can only find existing certificates by their id in Kong. The following output parameters are returned:

• id - the Kong id for the certificate
• certificate - the public key of the certificate
• private_key - the private key of the certificate

Consumers

To look up an existing consumer:

data "kong_consumer" "consumer_data_source" {
    filter = {
        id 	  = "8086a91b-cb5a-4e60-90b0-ca6650e82464"
	username  = "User777"
	custom_id = "123456"
    }
}

Each of the filter parameters are optional and they are combined for an AND search against all consumers. The following output parameters are returned:

• id - the Kong id of the found consumer
• username - the username of the found consumer
• custom_id - the custom id of the found consumer

Plugins

To look up an existing plugin:

data "kong_plugin" "plugin_data_source" {
    filter = {
        id          = "f0e656af-ad53-4622-ac73-ffd46ae05289"
	name        = "response-ratelimiting"
	api_id      = "51694bcd-3c72-43b3-b414-a09bbf4e3c30"
	consumer_id = "88154fd2-7a0e-41b1-97ba-4a59ebe2cc39"
    }
}

Each of the filter parameters are optional and they are combined for an AND search against all plugins. The following output parameters are returned:

• id - the Kong id of the found plugin
• name - the name of the found plugin
• api_id - the API id the found plugin is associated with (might be empty if not associated with an API)
• consumer_id - the consumer id the found plugin is associated with (might be empty if not associated with a consumer)
• enabled - whether the plugin is enabled

Upstreams

To lookup an existing upstream:

data "kong_upstream" "upstream_data_source" {
    filter = {
        id   = "893a49a8-090f-421e-afce-ba70b02ce958"
	name = "TestUpstream"
    }
}

Each of the filter parameters are optional and they are combined for an AND search against all upstreams. The following output parameters are returned:

• id - the Kong id of the found upstream
• name - the name of the found upstream
• slots - the number of slots on the found upstream
• order_list - a list containing the slot order on the found upstream

Contributing

I would love to get contributions to the project so please feel free to submit a PR. To setup your dev station you need go and docker installed.

Once you have cloned the repository the env TF_ACC=1 make command will build the code and run all of the tests. If they all pass then you are good to go!

If when you run the make command you get the following error:

goimports needs running on the following files:

Then all you need to do is run make goimports this will reformat all of the code (I know awesome)!!

Please write tests for your new feature/bug fix, PRs will only be accepted with covering tests and where all tests pass. If you want to start work on a feature feel free to open a PR early so we can discuss it or if you need help.
