Project description

AWS Cloud Provider for Idem

INSTALLATION

The aws idem provider can be installed via pip:

pip install "idem-aws [full]"

DEVELOPMENT

Clone the idem-aws repository and install with pip. Install extra requirements by specifying “localstack” or “full” in brackets (in ZSH you will have to escape the brackets).

git clone git@gitlab.com:saltstack/pop/idem-aws.git
pip install -e idem-aws[full] # [google_auth,localstack,full]

Set UP

After installation the AWS Idem Provider execution and state modules will be accessible to the pop hub. In order to use them we need to set up our credentials.

Create a new file called credentials.yaml and populate it with credentials. If you are using localstack, then the id and key can be bogus values. The default profile will be picked up automatically by idem.

There are many ways aws providers/profiles can be stored. See acct backends for more information.

There are multiple authentication backends for idem-aws which each have their own unique set of parameters. The following examples show some of the parameters that can be used in these backends to define profiles. All backends end up creating a boto3 session under the hood and storing it in the ctx variable that gets passed to all idem exec and state functions.

All authentication backends support two optional parameters, endpoint_url and provider_tag_key. The endpoint url is used to specify an alternate destination for boto3 calls, such as a localstack server or custom dynamodb server. The provider_tag_key is used when creating new resources. idem-aws will only interact with resources that are tagged with the the customizable provider_tag_key key.

credentials.yaml:

aws:
  default:
    endpoint_url: http://localhost:4566
    use_ssl: False
    aws_access_key_id: localstack
    aws_secret_access_key: _
    region_name: us-west-1

Additionally, you can use AWS AssumeRole with Idem

aws:
  default:
    endpoint_url: http://localhost:4566
    use_ssl: False
    aws_access_key_id: localstack
    aws_secret_access_key: _
    region_name: us-west-1
    assume_role:
      role_arn: arn:aws:iam::999999999999999:role/xacct/developer
      role_session_name: IdemSessionName

You can also authenticate with aws-google-auth if it is installed.

aws.gsuite:
  my-staging-env:
    username: user@gmail.com
    password: this_is_available_but_avoid_it
    role_arn: arn:aws:iam::999999999999999:role/xacct/developer
    idp_id: 9999999
    sp_id: 999999999999
    region: us-east-1
    duration: 36000
    account: developer

The google profile example is not named default. To use it, it will need to be specified explicitly in an idem state.

ensure_resource_exists:
  aws.ec2.vpc.present:
    - acct_profile: my-staging-env
    - name: idem_aws_vpc
    - cidr_block: 10.0.0.0/24

It can also be specified from the command line when executing states.

idem state --acct-profile my-staging-env my_state.sls

It can also be specified from the command line when calling an exec module directly.

idem exec --acct-profile my-staging-env boto3.client.ec2.describe_vpcs

The last step to get up and running is to encrypt the credentials file and add the encryption key and encrypted file path to the ENVIRONMENT.

The acct command should be available as acct is a requisite of idem and idem-aws. Encrypt the the credential file.

acct encrypt credentials.yaml

output:

-A9ZkiCSOjWYG_lbGmmkVh4jKLFDyOFH4e4S1HNtNwI=

Add these to your environment:

export ACCT_KEY="-A9ZkiCSOjWYG_lbGmmkVh4jKLFDyOFH4e4S1HNtNwI="
export ACCT_FILE=$PWD/credentials.yaml.fernet

You are ready to use idem-aws!!!

LOCALSTACK

Localstack can be used to test idem-aws on your local machine without needing legitimate aws credentials. It can be used for running the idem-aws tests or for testing your states locally.

Install localstack with pip:

pip install "localstack [full]"

Start the localstack infrastructure:

localstack infra start

TESTING

In order to run the tests you must have a profile called “test_development_idem_aws” in your acct provider information. This can use localstack (recommended) or valid production aws credentials (at your own risk).

aws:
  test_development_idem_aws:
    endpoint_url: http://localhost:4566
    use_ssl: False
    aws_access_key_id: localstack
    aws_secret_access_key: _
    region_name: us-west-1

It’s recommended to run the tests using localstack (by specifying your localstack container address as your endpoint_url)

pytest idem-aws/tests

EXECUTION MODULES

Once everything has been set up properly, execution modules can be called directly by idem. Execution modules mirror the namespacing of the boto3.client and boto3.resource modules and have the same parameters.

For example, this is how you could list Vpcs from the command line with idem:

idem exec boto3.client.ec2.describe_vpcs

You can specify parameters as well. In the case of boto3 resources, args will be passed to the resource constructor and kwargs will be passed to the operation like so:

idem exec boto3.resource.ec2.Vpc.create_subnet vpc-71d00419 CidrBlock="10.0.0.0/24"

STATES

States are also accessed by their relative location in idem-aws/idem_aws/states. For example, idem-aws/idem_aws/states/aws/ec2/vpc.py contains a function absent(). In my state file I can create a state that uses the absent function like so.

my_state.sls:

idem_aws_test_vpc:
  aws.ec2.vpc.absent:
    - name: "idem_aws_test_vpc"

This state can be executed with:

idem state my_state.sls

idem state also has some flags that can significantly boost the scalability and performance of the run. Let’s use this new state which verifies that 100 vpcs are absent:

{% for i in range(100) %}
idem_aws_test_vpc_{{i}}:
  aws.ec2.vpc.absent:
    - name: "idem_aws_test_vpc_{{i}}"
{% endfor -%}

State can be executed with –runtime parallel to make full use of idem’s async execution calls:

idem state --runtime parallel my_state.sls

Remote storage for enforced state management

Idem-aws supports remote storage for Idem’s enforced state management feature. That is, Idem can store esm data on AWS S3 bucket. DynamoDB will be used as a file lock to prevent multiple users/processes access the same storage file concurrently. To use remote storage, the esm profile need to be added to the credential profile like the following:

aws:
  default:
    use_ssl: True
    aws_access_key_id: AAAAAAAAA5CDFSDER3UQ
    aws_secret_access_key: eHjPASFWERSFwVXKlsdfS4afD
    region_name: eu-west-2
    esm:
      bucket: "idem-state-storage-bucket"
      dynamodb_table: "idem-state-storage-table"
      key: "/idem-state/demo-storage.json"

This esm file means that Idem will use AWS S3 bucket “idem-state-storage-bucket” and DynamoDB table “idem-state-storage-table” in region eu-west-2. The “key” is the file path to which the esm data will be read and stored. Both S3 bucket and DynamoDB table need to be created before using the feature. The DynamoDB table should have the primary key as string “LockID” and nothing else.
