vault-init

This is a port of Kelsey Hightower vault-init to AWS.

The vault-init service automates the process of initializing and unsealing HashiCorp Vault instances running on Amazon Web Services.

After vault-init initializes a Vault server it stores master keys and root tokens, encrypted using AWS Key Management Service, to a user defined Amazon S3 bucket.

Usage

The vault-init service is designed to be run alongside a Vault server and communicate over local host.

Kubernetes

Run vault-init in the same Pod as the Vault container. See the vault statefulset for a complete example.

Configuration

The vault-init service supports the following environment variables for configuration:

CHECK_INTERVAL - The time in seconds between Vault health checks. (300)
S3_BUCKET_NAME - The Amazon S3 Bucket where the vault master key and root token is stored.
KMS_KEY_ID - The Amazon KMS key ID used to encrypt and decrypt the vault master key and root token.
VAULT_ADDR - The vault API address.

Example Values

CHECK_INTERVAL="300"
S3_BUCKET_NAME="vault-storage"
KMS_KEY_ID="arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:1234567819:key/dead-beef-dead-beef-deadbeefdead"
VAULT_ADDR="https://vault.service.consul:8200"

AWS

The vault-init service needs the following set of resources:

S3 Bucket
IAM Role + Instance Profile
KMS Key

Here's a minimal example which creates an instance profile that can use a KMS key and read/write to a private S3 bucket.

resource "aws_iam_role" "vault" {
  assume_role_policy = <<EOF
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
      "Principal": {"Service": "ec2.amazonaws.com"},
      "Effect": "Allow"
    }
  ]
}
EOF
}

# use the current caller's ARN as the KMS key administrator
data "aws_caller_identity" "current" {}

resource "aws_kms_key" "vault" {
  policy      = <<EOF
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Id": "vault-key-policy",

      "Action": "kms:*",
      "Resource": "*"
    },
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {"AWS": "${aws_iam_role.vault.arn}"},
      "Action": [
	"kms:Encrypt",
	"kms:Decrypt",
	"kms:ReEncrypt*",
	"kms:GenerateDataKey*",
	"kms:DescribeKey"
      ],
      "Resource": "*"
    }
  ]
}
EOF
}

resource "aws_kms_alias" "vault" {
  name          = "alias/my-vault-key"
  target_key_id = "${aws_kms_key.vault.key_id}"
}

resource "aws_s3_bucket" "vault" {
  acl = "private"
}

resource "aws_iam_role_policy" "vault" {
  role	 = "${aws_iam_role.vault.id}"
  policy = <<EOF
{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Action": [
	"kms:ReEncrypt*",
	"kms:GenerateDataKey*",
	"kms:Encrypt",
	"kms:DescribeKey",
	"kms:Decrypt"
      ],
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Resource": "${aws_kms_alias.vault.arn}"
    },
    {
      "Action": "s3:ListBucket",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Resource": "${aws_s3_bucket.vault.arn}"
    },
    {
      "Action": ["s3:GetObject", "s3:PutObject"],
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Resource": "${aws_s3_bucket.vault.arn}/*"
    }
  ]
}
EOF
}

resource "aws_iam_instance_profile" "vault" {
  role = "${aws_iam_role.vault.name}"
}
