Releases

Terraform module that deploys cloud-platform ingress controllers among another resources (like certificates)

This module is also responsilbe for our WAF. It is provided by modsec. Although we have a cluster wide set of fluent-bit containers which collect and ship our logs to open search/ elastic search. We can't rely on that to collect modsec audit logs which are written to file. We need to write these logs to file because when we push them directly to stdout we lose logs. This is due to the scale of traffic in our live cluster. We increase log reliability by writing to file.

This means we need to ship modsec audit logs separtely as the cluster level fluent-bit cannot access internal container files. So we introduced a fluent-bit side car which has the filesystem mounted and accessible. We have one further sidecar mounted to handle log rotation using logrotate, this prevents our logs filling up our master node file space and causing node issues.

cluster_domain_name The cluster domain used for externalDNS annotations and certmanager any n/a yes
controller_name Will be used as the ingress controller name and the class annotation string n/a yes
default_cert Useful if you want to use a default certificate for your ingress controller. Format: namespace/secretName string "ingress-controllers/default-certificate" no
enable_cross_zone_lb cross-zone load balancing distributes traffic across the registered targets in all enabled Availability Zones bool true no

enable_owasp Use default ruleset from https://github.com/SpiderLabs/owasp-modsecurity-crs/ bool false no
fluent_bit_version fluent bit container version used to exrtact modsec audit logs string "3.0.2-amd64" no
is_live_cluster For live clusters externalDNS annotation will have var.live_domain (default *.cloud-platform.service.justice.gov.uk) bool false no
keepalive the maximum number of idle keepalive connections to upstream servers that are preserved in the cache of each worker process. When this number is exceeded, the least recently used connections are closed. https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_upstream_module.html#keepalive number 320 no

proxy_response_buffering nginx receives a response from the proxied server as soon as possible, saving it into the buffers set by the proxy_buffer_size and proxy_buffers directives. If the whole response does not fit into memory, a part of it can be saved to a temporary file on the disk. https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_buffering string "off" no
