This guide walks you through using Kuadrant to secure, protect, and connect an API exposed by a Gateway using Kubernetes Gateway API. You can use this walkthrough for a Gateway on a single cluster or a Gateway distributed across multiple clusters with a shared listener hostname. This guide shows how specific user personas can each use Kuadrant to achieve their goals.
-This guide expects that you have successfully installed Kuadrant on at least one cluster:
-- You have completed the steps in Install Kuadrant on an OpenShift cluster for one or more clusters.
-- For multicluster scenarios, you have installed Kuadrant on at least two different clusters, and have a shared accessible Redis store.
-- kubectl command line tool is installed.
-- (Optional) User workload monitoring is configured to remote write to a central storage system such as Thanos (also covered in the installation steps).
+This guide walks you through using Kuadrant on OpenShift to secure, protect, and connect an API exposed by a Gateway that is based on Kubernetes Gateway API. You can use this walkthrough for a Gateway deployed on a single OpenShift cluster or a Gateway distributed across multiple OpenShift clusters with a shared listener hostname. This guide shows how the platform engineer and application developer user roles can each use Kuadrant to achieve their goals.
You can leverage Kuadrant's capabilities in single or multiple clusters. The following features are designed to work across multiple clusters as well as in a single-cluster environment.
This guide walks you through deploying a Gateway that provides secure communication and is protected and ready for use by development teams to deploy an API. It then walks through using this Gateway in clusters in different geographic regions, leveraging Kuadrant to bring specific traffic to your geo-located Gateways to reduce latency and distribute load, while still being protected and secured with global rate limiting and auth.
-As an optional extra this guide highlights how, with the user workload monitoring observability stack deployed, these Gateways can then be observed and monitored.
-This guide walks through how you can use the Kuadrant OAS extensions and CLI to generate an HTTPRoute for your API and add specific auth and rate limiting requirements to your API.
+As an optional extra, this guide highlights how both user roles can observe and monitor these Gateways when the OpenShift user workload monitoring and observability stack is deployed.
+This guide expects that you have successfully installed Kuadrant on at least one OpenShift cluster:
+You must perform the following steps in each cluster individually unless specifically excluded.
-NOTE: You must perform the following steps in each cluster individually, unless specifically excluded.
+The managed DNS zone declares a zone and credentials to access that zone that Kuadrant can use to set up DNS configuration.
-The managed DNS zone declares a zone and credentials to access the zone that Kuadrant can use to set up DNS configuration.
+To secure communication to the Gateways, you will define a TLS issuer for TLS certificates. This example uses Let's Encrypt, but you can use any issuer supported by cert-manager.
-The following example uses Let's Encrypt staging, which should also be applied to all clusters.
+The following example uses Let's Encrypt staging, which you must also apply to all clusters:
For Kuadrant to balance traffic using DNS across two or more clusters, you must define a Gateway with a shared host. You will define this by using an HTTPS listener with a wildcard hostname based on the root domain. As mentioned earlier, these resources must be applied to all clusters.

Extending this Gateway to multiple clusters and configuring geo-based routing
+Step 8 - Extending this Gateway to multiple clusters and configuring geo-based routing
To distribute this Gateway across multiple clusters, repeat this setup process for each cluster. By default, this will implement a round-robin DNS strategy to distribute traffic evenly across the different clusters. Setting up your Gateways to serve clients based on their geographic location is straightforward with your current configuration.
-Assuming you have deployed Gateway instances across multiple clusters as per this guide, the next step involves updating the DNS controller with the geographic regions of the visible Gateways.

-This section of the walkthrough focuses on using an OpenAPI Specification (OAS) to define an API. You will use Kuadrant OAS extensions to specify the routing, authentication, and rate-limiting requirements. Next, you will use the kuadrantctl tool to generate an AuthPolicy, an HTTPRoute, and a RateLimitPolicy, which you will then apply to your cluster to enforce the settings defined in your OAS.

NOTE: While this section uses the kuadrantctl tool, this is not essential. You can also create and apply an AuthPolicy, RateLimitPolicy, and HTTPRoute by using the oc or kubectl commands.
-To begin, you will deploy a new version of the toystore app to a developer namespace:
-kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kuadrant/Kuadrant-operator/main/examples/toystore/toystore.yaml -n ${devNS}
-

Test connectivity and deny-all auth
-We'll use curl to hit an endpoint in the toystore app. As we are using LetsEncrypt staging in this example, we pass the -k flag:

OpenID Connect auth flow (skip if interested in API key only)
+Optional: Step 6 - Set up OpenID Connect auth flow (skip if using API key only)
This section of the walkthrough uses the kuadrantctl tool to create an AuthPolicy that integrates with an OpenID provider and a RateLimitPolicy that leverages JWT values for per-user rate limiting. It is important to note that OpenID requires an external provider. Therefore, you should adapt the following example to suit your specific needs and provider.
-The platform engineer workflow established some default policies for authentication and rate limiting at your Gateway. The new developer-defined policies, which you will create, are intended to target your HTTPRoute and will supersede the existing policies for requests to your API endpoints, similar to your previous API key example.

Kuadrant aims to produce a set of loosely coupled functionalities built directly on top of Kubernetes. Furthermore, it only strives to provide what Kubernetes doesn\u2019t offer out of the box, i.e. Kuadrant won\u2019t be designing a new Gateway/proxy, instead it will opt to connect with what\u2019s there and what\u2019s being developed (think Envoy, Istio, GatewayAPI).
Kuadrant is a system of cloud-native k8s components that grows as users\u2019 needs grow.
- From simple protection of a Service (via AuthN) that is used by teammates working on the same cluster, or \u201csibling\u201d services, up to AuthZ of users using OIDC plus custom policies.
- From no rate-limiting to rate-limiting for global service protection on to rate-limiting by users/plans

If the request matches, the gateway sends one CheckRequest to the external auth service (\"Authorino\"). 3. The external auth service responds with a CheckResponse back to the gateway with either an OK or DENIED response code.

As a standard, gateway policies that do not specify neither defaults nor overrides, act as defaults.
When declaring defaults, an AuthPolicy which targets a Gateway will be enforced to all HTTP traffic hitting the gateway, unless a more specific AuthPolicy targeting a matching HTTPRoute exists. Any new HTTPRoute referrencing the gateway as parent will be automatically covered by the default AuthPolicy, as well as changes in the existing HTTPRoutes.
Defaults provide cluster operators with the ability to protect the infrastructure against unplanned and malicious network traffic attempt, such as by setting preemptive \"deny-all\" policies on hostnames and hostname wildcards.
Inversely, a gateway policy that specify overrides declares a set of rules to be enforced on all routes attached to the gateway, thus atomically replacing any more specific policy occasionally attached to any of those routes.

This includes multiple HTTPRoutes that specify the same hostnames in the spec.hostnames field, as well as HTTPRoutes that specify a hostname that is identical to a hostname specified in a listener of one of the route's parent gateways or HTTPRoutes that don't specify any hostname at all thus inheriting the hostnames from the parent gateways. In any of these cases, a maximum of one AuthPolicy targeting any of those resources that specify identical hostnames is allowed.
Moreover, having multiple resources that declare identical hostnames may lead to unexpected behavior and therefore should be avoided.

In the example above, with the policy-1 resource created before policy-2, policy-1 will be enforced on all requests to app.io/foo while policy-2 will be rejected. I.e. app.io/bar will not be secured. In fact, the status conditions of policy-2 shall reflect Enforced=false with message \"AuthPolicy has encountered some issues: AuthScheme is not ready yet\".
Notice the enforcement of policy-1 and no enforcement of policy-2 is the opposite behavior as the analogous problem with the Kuadrant RateLimitPolicy.
A slightly different way the limitation applies is when two or more routes of a gateway declare the exact same hostname and a gateway policy is defined with expectation to set default rules for the cases not covered by more specific policies. E.g.:

"},{"location":"kuadrant-operator/doc/auth/#implementation-details","title":"Implementation details","text":"Under the hood, for each AuthPolicy, Kuadrant creates an Istio AuthorizationPolicy and an Authorino AuthConfig custom resources.
Only requests that matches the rules in the Istio AuthorizationPolicy cause an authorization request to be sent to the external authorization service (\"Authorino\"), i.e., only requests directed to the HTTPRouteRules targeted by the AuthPolicy (directly or indirectly), according to the declared top-level route selectors (if present), or all requests for which a matching HTTPRouteRule exists (otherwise).
Authorino looks up for the auth scheme (AuthConfig custom resource) to enforce using the provided hostname of the original request as key. It then checks again if the request matches at least one of the selected HTTPRouteRules, in which case it enforces the auth scheme.
Exception to the rule Due to limitations imposed by the Istio `AuthorizationPolicy`, there are a few patterns of HTTPRouteRules that cannot be translated to filters for the external authorization request. Therefore, the following patterns used in HTTPRouteMatches of top-level route selectors of an AuthPolicy will not be included in the Istio AuthorizationPolicy rules that trigger the check request with Authorino: `PathMatchRegularExpression`, `HeaderMatchRegularExpression`, and `HTTPQueryParamMatch`. As a consequence to the above, requests that do not match these rules and otherwise would not be checked with Authorino will result in a request to the external authorization service. Authorino nonetheless will still verify those patterns and ensure the auth scheme is enforced only when it matches a selected HTTPRouteRule. Users of Kuadrant may observe an unnecessary call to the authorization service in those cases where the request is out of the scope of the AuthPolicy and therefore always authorized."},{"location":"kuadrant-operator/doc/auth/#internal-custom-resources-and-namespaces","title":"Internal custom resources and namespaces","text":"While the Istio AuthorizationPolicy needs to be created in the same namespace as the gateway workload, the Authorino AuthConfig is created in the namespace of the AuthPolicy itself.

If the request matches, the gateway sends one RateLimitRequest to the external rate limiting service (\"Limitador\"). 1.

Defaults provide cluster operators with the ability to protect the infrastructure against unplanned and malicious network traffic attempt, such as by setting safe default limits on hostnames and hostname wildcards.
Inversely, a gateway policy that specify overrides declares a set of rules to be enforced on all routes attached to the gateway, thus atomically replacing any more specific policy occasionally attached to any of those routes.

Once again, both policies will report status condition as Enforced. However, in this case, only policy-1 will be enforced on requests to app.io/foo, while policy-2 will not be enforced at all. I.e. app.io/bar will not be not rate-limited. This is same behavior as the analogous problem with the Kuadrant AuthPolicy.
To avoid these problems, use different hostnames in each route.
"},{"location":"kuadrant-operator/doc/rate-limiting/#implementation-details","title":"Implementation details","text":"Driven by limitations related to how Istio injects configuration in the filter chains of the ingress gateways, Kuadrant relies on Envoy's Wasm Network filter in the data plane, to manage the integration with rate limiting service (\"Limitador\"), instead of the Rate Limit filter.
Motivation: Multiple rate limit domains The first limitation comes from having only one filter chain per listener. This often leads to one single global rate limiting filter configuration per gateway, and therefore to a shared rate limit domain across applications and policies. Even though, in a rate limit filter, the triggering of rate limit calls, via actions to build so-called \"descriptors\", can be defined at the level of the virtual host and/or specific route rule, the overall rate limit configuration is only one, i.e., always the same rate limit domain for all calls to Limitador.
On the other hand, the possibility to configure and invoke the rate limit service for multiple domains depending on the context allows to isolate groups of policy rules, as well as to optimize performance in the rate limit service, which can rely on the domain for indexation.
Motivation: Fine-grained matching rules A second limitation of configuring the rate limit filter via Istio, particularly from Gateway API resources, is that rate limit descriptors at the level of a specific HTTP route rule require \"named routes\" \u2013 defined only in an Istio VirtualService resource and referred in an EnvoyFilter one. Because Gateway API HTTPRoute rules lack a \"name\" property1, as well as the Istio VirtualService resources are only ephemeral data structures handled by Istio in-memory in its implementation of gateway configuration for Gateway API, where the names of individual route rules are auto-generated and not referable by users in a policy23, rate limiting by attributes of the HTTP request (e.g., path, method, headers, etc) would be very limited while depending only on Envoy's Rate Limit filter.
Motivated by the desire to support multiple rate limit domains per ingress gateway, as well as fine-grained HTTP route matching rules for rate limiting, Kuadrant implements a wasm-shim that handles the rules to invoke the rate limiting service, complying with Envoy's Rate Limit Service (RLS) protocol.
The wasm module integrates with the gateway in the data plane via Wasm Network filter, and parses a configuration composed out of user-defined RateLimitPolicy resources by the Kuadrant control plane. Whereas the rate limiting service (\"Limitador\") remains an implementation of Envoy's RLS protocol, capable of being integrated directly via Rate Limit extension or by Kuadrant, via wasm module for the Istio Gateway API implementation.
As a consequence of this design: - Users can define fine-grained rate limit rules that match their Gateway and HTTPRoute definitions including for subsections of these. - Rate limit definitions are insulated, not leaking across unrelated policies or applications. - Conditions to activate limits are evaluated in the context of the gateway process, reducing the gRPC calls to the external rate limiting service only to the cases where rate limit counters are known in advance to have to be checked/incremented. - The rate limiting service can rely on the indexation to look up for groups of limit definitions and counters. - Components remain compliant with industry protocols and flexible for different integration options.
A Kuadrant wasm-shim configuration for 2 RateLimitPolicy custom resources (a Gateway default RateLimitPolicy and a HTTPRoute RateLimitPolicy) looks like the following and it is generated automatically by the Kuadrant control plane:

While not essential, it is best to set up an observability stack. This section provides links to OpenShift and Thanos documentation on configuring monitoring and metrics storage.
OpenShift supports a user facing monitoring stack. This can be cofigured and setup this documentation:
https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/latest/observability/monitoring/configuring-the-monitoring-stack.html
If you have user workload monitoring enabled. We Recommend configuring remote write to a central storage system such as Thanos:
- Remote Write Config
- Kube Thanos
There are a set of example dashboards and alerts for observing Kuadrant functionality. These dashboards and alerts make use of low level cpu, metrics and network metrics available from the user monitoring stack in Openshift. They also make use of resource state metrics from Gateway API and Kuadrant resources. To scrape these additional metrics, you can install a kube-state-metrics instance, with a custom resource config:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kuadrant/kuadrant-operator/main/config/observability/openshift/kube-state-metrics.yaml\nkubectl apply -k https://github.com/Kuadrant/gateway-api-state-metrics?ref=main\n
To enable request metrics in Istio, you will need to create a Telemetry resource:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kuadrant/kuadrant-operator/main/config/observability/openshift/telemetry.yaml\n
The dashboards can be imported into Grafana, if you have it installed in your cluster. You'll find an example of how to install Grafana on Openshift here. Once installed, you will need to add your Thanos instance as a data source to Grafana. Alternatively, if you are just using the user workload monitoring stack in your Openshift cluster (and not writing metrics to an external thanos instance), you can set up a data source to the thanos-querier route in the Openshift cluster.

sum(\n rate(\n istio_requests_total{}[5m]\n )\n) by (destination_service_name)\n\n* on(destination_service_name) group_right \n label_replace(gatewayapi_httproute_labels{}, \\\"destination_service_name\\\", \\\"$1\\\",\\\"service\\\", \\\"(.+)\\\")\n
Breaking this query down, there are 2 parts. The first part is getting the rate of requests hitting the Istio gateway, aggregated to 5m intervals:
sum(\n rate(\n destination_service_name{}[5m]\n )\n) by (destination_service_name)\n
The result set here will include a label for the destination service name (i.e. the Service in Kubernetes). This label is key to looking up the HTTPRoute this traffic belongs to.
The 2nd part of the query uses the gatewayapi_httproute_labels metric and the label_replace function. The gatewayapi_httproute_labels metric gives a list of all httproutes, including any labels on them. The HTTPRoute in this example has a label called 'service', set to be the same as the Istio service name. This allows us to join the 2 results set. However, because the label doesn't match exactly (destination_service_name and service), we can replace the label so that it does match. That's what the label_replace does.
label_replace(gatewayapi_httproute_labels{}, \\\"destination_service_name\\\", \\\"$1\\\",\\\"service\\\", \\\"(.+)\\\")\n
The 2 parts are joined together using vector matching.
* on(destination_service_name) group_right \n
* is the binary operator i.e. multiplication (gives join like behaviour)on() specifies which labels to \"join\" the 2 results withgroup_right enables a one to many matching.
See the Prometheus documentation for further details on matching.

Once the changes are applied, the authorino and limitador components will be redeployed tracing enabled.
Note:
There are plans to consolidate the tracing configuration to a single location i.e. the Kuadrant CR. This will eventually eliminate the need to configure tracing in both the Authorino and Limitador CRs.
Important:
Currently, trace IDs do not propagate to wasm modules in Istio/Envoy, affecting trace continuity in Limitador. This means that requests passed to limitador will not have the relavant 'parent' trace ID in its trace information. If however the trace initiation point is outside of Envoy/Istio, the 'parent' trace ID will be available to limitador and included in traces passed to the collector. This has an impact on correlating traces from limitador with traces from authorino, the gateway and any other components in the path of requests.
"},{"location":"kuadrant-operator/doc/observability/tracing/#troubleshooting-flow-using-traces-and-logs","title":"Troubleshooting Flow Using Traces and Logs","text":"Using a tracing interface like the Jaeger UI or Grafana, you can search for trace information by the trace ID. You may get the trace ID from logs, or from a header in a sample request you want to troubleshoot. You can also search for recent traces, filtering by the service you want to focus on.
Here is an example trace in the Grafana UI showing the total request time from the gateway (Istio), the time to check the curent rate limit count (and update it) in limitador and the time to check auth in Authorino:
In limitador, it is possible to enable request logging with trace IDs to get more information on requests. This requires the log level to be increased to at least debug, so the verbosity must be set to 3 or higher in the Limitador CR. For example:
apiVersion: limitador.kuadrant.io/v1alpha1\nkind: Limitador\nmetadata:\n name: limitador\nspec:\n verbosity: 3\n
A log entry will look something like this, with the traceparent field holding the trace ID:
\"Request received: Request { metadata: MetadataMap { headers: {\"te\": \"trailers\", \"grpc-timeout\": \"5000m\", \"content-type\": \"application/grpc\", \"traceparent\": \"00-4a2a933a23df267aed612f4694b32141-00f067aa0ba902b7-01\", \"x-envoy-internal\": \"true\", \"x-envoy-expected-rq-timeout-ms\": \"5000\"} }, message: RateLimitRequest { domain: \"default/toystore\", descriptors: [RateLimitDescriptor { entries: [Entry { key: \"limit.general_user__f5646550\", value: \"1\" }, Entry { key: \"metadata.filter_metadata.envoy\\\\.filters\\\\.http\\\\.ext_authz.identity.userid\", value: \"alice\" }], limit: None }], hits_addend: 1 }, extensions: Extensions }\"\n
If you centrally aggregate logs using something like promtail and loki, you can jump between trace information and the relevant logs for that service:
Using a combination of tracing and logs, you can visualise and troubleshoot reuqest timing issues and drill down to specific services. This method becomes even more powerful when combined with metrics and dashboards to get a more complete picture of your users traffic.

On designing Kuadrant's rate limiting and considering Istio/Envoy's rate limiting offering, we hit two limitations (described here). Therefore, not giving up entirely in existing Envoy's RateLimit Filter, we decided to move on and leverage the Envoy's Wasm Network Filter and implement rate limiting wasm-shim module compliant with the Envoy's Rate Limit Service (RLS).

.spec.rateLimits holds a list of rate limit configurations represented by the object RateLimit. Each RateLimit object represents a complete rate limit configuration. It contains three fields:
-
rules (optional): Rules allow matching hosts and/or methods and/or paths. Matching occurs when at least one rule applies against the incoming request. If rules are not set, it is equivalent to matching all the requests.
-
configurations (required): Specifies a set of rate limit configurations that could be applied. The rate limit configuration object is the equivalent of the config.route.v3.RateLimit envoy object. One configuration is, in turn, a list of rate limit actions. Each action populates a descriptor entry. A vector of descriptor entries compose a descriptor. Each configuration produces, at most, one descriptor. Depending on the incoming request, one configuration may or may not produce a rate limit descriptor. These rate limiting configuration rules provide flexibility to produce multiple descriptors. For example, you may want to define one generic rate limit descriptor and another descriptor depending on some header. If the header does not exist, the second descriptor is not generated, but traffic keeps being rate limited based on the generic descriptor.
configurations:\n - actions:\n - request_headers:\n header_name: \"X-MY-CUSTOM-HEADER\"\n descriptor_key: \"custom-header\"\n skip_if_absent: true\n - actions:\n - generic_key:\n descriptor_key: admin\n descriptor_value: \"1\"\n

To decide whether the route selector selects a HTTPRouteRule or not, for each pair of route selector HTTPRouteMatch and HTTPRoute HTTPRouteMatch: 1. The route selector selects the HTTPRoute's HTTPRouteRule if the HTTPRouteRule contains at least one HTTPRouteMatch that specifies fields that are literally identical to all the fields specified by at least one HTTPRouteMatch of the route selector. 2. A HTTPRouteMatch within a HTTPRouteRule may include other fields that are not specified in a route selector match, and yet the route selector match selects the HTTPRouteRule if all fields of the route selector match are identically included in the HTTPRouteRule's HTTPRouteMatch; the opposite is NOT true. 3. Each field path of a HTTPRouteMatch, as well as each field method of a HTTPRouteMatch, as well as each element of the fields headers and queryParams of a HTTPRouteMatch, is atomic \u2013 this is true for the HTTPRouteMatches within a HTTPRouteRule, as well as for HTTPRouteMatches of a route selector.
Additionally, at least one hostname specified in a route selector must identically match one of the hostnames specified (or inherited, when omitted) by the targeted HTTPRoute.
The semantics of the route selectors allows to assertively relate policy rule definitions to routing rules, with benefits for identifying the subsets of the network that are covered by a policy rule, while preventing unreachable definitions, as well as the overhead associated with the maintenance of such rules across multiple resources throughout time, according to network topology beneath. Moreover, the requirement of not having to be a full copy of the targeted HTTPRouteRule matches, but only partially identical, helps prevent repetition to some degree, as well as it enables to more easily define policy rules that scope across multiple HTTPRouteRules (by specifying less rules in the selector).
"},{"location":"kuadrant-operator/doc/reference/route-selectors/#golden-rules-and-corner-cases","title":"Golden rules and corner cases","text":"A few rules and corner cases to keep in mind while using the RLP's routeSelectors: 1. The golden rule \u2013 The route selectors in a policy or policy rule are not to be interpreted as the route matching rules that activate the policy or policy rule, but as selectors of the route rules that activate the policy or policy rule. 2. Due to (1) above, this can lead to cases, e.g., where a route selector that states matches: [{ method: POST }] selects a HTTPRouteRule that defines matches: [{ method: POST }, { method: GET }], effectively causing the policy or policy rule to be activated on requests to the HTTP method POST, but also to the HTTP method GET. 3. The requirement for the route selector match to state patterns that are identical to the patterns stated by the HTTPRouteRule (partially or entirely) makes, e.g., a route selector such as matches: { path: { type: PathPrefix, value: /foo } } to select a HTTPRouteRule that defines matches: { path: { type: PathPrefix, value: /foo }, method: GET }, but not to select a HTTPRouteRule that only defines matches: { method: GET }, even though the latter includes technically all HTTP paths; nor it selects a HTTPRouteRule that only defines matches: { path: { type: Exact, value: /foo } }, even though all requests to the exact path /foo are also technically requests to /foo*. 4. The atomicity property of fields of the route selectors makes, e.g., a route selector such as matches: { path: { value: /foo } } to select a HTTPRouteRule that defines matches: { path: { value: /foo } }, but not to select a HTTPRouteRule that only defines matches: { path: { type: PathPrefix, value: /foo } }. (This case may actually never happen because PathPrefix is the default value for path.type and will be set automatically by the Kubernetes API server.)
Due to the nature of route selectors of defining pointers to HTTPRouteRules, the routeSelectors field is not supported in a RLP that targets a Gateway resource.

Authenticated rate limiting rate limits the traffic directed to an application based on attributes of the client user, who is authenticated by some authentication method. A few examples of authenticated rate limiting use cases are:
- User A can send up to 50rps (\"requests per second\"), while User B can send up to 100rps.
- Each user can send up to 20rpm (\"request per minute\").
- Admin users (members of the 'admin' group) can send up to 100rps, while regular users (non-admins) can send up to 20rpm and no more than 5rps.
In this guide, we will rate limit a sample REST API called Toy Store. In reality, this API is just an echo service that echoes back to the user whatever attributes it gets in the request. The API exposes an endpoint at GET http://api.toystore.com/toy, to mimic an operation of reading toy records.
We will define 2 users of the API, which can send requests to the API at different rates, based on their user IDs. The authentication method used is API key.
User ID Rate limit alice 5rp10s (\"5 requests every 10 seconds\") bob 2rp10s (\"2 requests every 10 seconds\")"},{"location":"kuadrant-operator/doc/user-guides/authenticated-rl-for-app-developers/#run-the-steps-1-4","title":"Run the steps \u2460 \u2192 \u2463","text":""},{"location":"kuadrant-operator/doc/user-guides/authenticated-rl-for-app-developers/#1-setup","title":"\u2460 Setup","text":"This step uses tooling from the Kuadrant Operator component to create a containerized Kubernetes server locally using Kind, where it installs Istio, Kubernetes Gateway API and Kuadrant itself.

- authentication based OpenId Connect (OIDC) ID tokens (signed JWTs), issued by a Keycloak server;

In this example, we will protect a sample REST API called Toy Store. In reality, this API is just an echo service that echoes back to the user whatever attributes it gets in the request.
The API listens to requests at the hostnames *.toystore.com, where it exposes the endpoints GET /toy*, POST /admin/toy and DELETE /amind/toy, respectively, to mimic operations of reading, creating, and deleting toy records.
Any authenticated user/service account can send requests to the Toy Store API, by providing either a valid Keycloak-issued access token or Kubernetes token.
Privileges to execute the requested operation (read, create or delete) will be granted according to the following RBAC rules, stored in the Kubernetes authorization system:
Operation Endpoint Required role Read GET /toy* toystore-reader Create POST /admin/toy toystore-write Delete DELETE /admin/toy toystore-write Each user will be entitled to a maximum of 5rp10s (5 requests every 10 seconds).

The following features are designed to work across multiple clusters as well as in a single-cluster environment.
- Multicluster ingress: Kuadrant provides multicluster ingress connectivity using DNS to bring traffic to your Gateways using a strategy defined in a
DNSPolicy. - Global rate limiting: Kuadrant can enable global rate limiting use cases when configured to use a shared Redis store for counters based on limits defined by a
RateLimitPolicy. - Global auth: You can configure Kuadrant's
AuthPolicy to leverage external auth providers to ensure different clusters exposing the same API are authenticating and authorizing in the same way. - Integration with federated metrics stores: Kuadrant has example dashboards and metrics for visualizing your Gateways and observing traffic hitting those Gateways across multiple clusters.
Platform engineer user
This guide walks you through deploying a Gateway that provides secure communication and is protected and ready for use by development teams to deploy an API. It then walks through using this Gateway in clusters in different geographic regions, leveraging Kuadrant to bring specific traffic to your geo-located Gateways to reduce latency and distribute load, while still being protected and secured with global rate limiting and auth.
As an optional extra this guide highlights how, with the user workload monitoring observability stack deployed, these Gateways can then be observed and monitored.
Application developer user
This guide walks through how you can use the Kuadrant OAS extensions and CLI to generate an HTTPRoute for your API and add specific auth and rate limiting requirements to your API.

Here are the steps we will go through:
1) Deploy a sample application
2) Define a new Gateway
3) Ensure TLS-based secure connectivity to the gateway with a TLSPolicy
4) Define a default RateLimitPolicy to set some infrastructure limits on your gateway
5) Define a default AuthPolicy to deny all access to the gateway
6) Define a DNSPolicy to bring traffic to the gateway
7) Override the Gateway's deny-all AuthPolicy with an endpoint-specific policy
8) Override the Gateway rate limits with an endpoint-specific policy
You will need to set the KUBECTL_CONTEXT environment variable for the kubectl context of the cluster you are targeting. If you have followed the single cluster setup, it should be something like below. Adjust the name of the cluster accordingly if you have followed the multi cluster setup.
#\u00a0Typical single cluster context\nexport KUBECTL_CONTEXT=kind-kuadrant-local\n\n# Example context for additional 'multi cluster' clusters\n# export KUBECTL_CONTEXT=kind-kuadrant-local-1\n
To help with this walk through, you should also set a KUADRANT_ZONE_ROOT_DOMAIN environment variable to a domain you want to use. If you want to try DNSPolicy, this should also be a domain you have access to the DNS for in AWS Route53 or GCP. E.g.:
export KUADRANT_ZONE_ROOT_DOMAIN=my.domain.iown\n

If you take a look at the gateway status, you will see a TLS status error similar to the following:
message: invalid certificate reference /Secret/apps-hcpapps-tls. secret kuadrant-system/apps-hcpapps-tls not found\n

Authorino implements Envoy Proxy's external authorization gRPC protocol, and is a part of Red Hat Kuadrant architecture.
Under the hood, Authorino is based on Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions and the Operator pattern.
Bootstrap and configuration:
- Deploy the service/API to be protected (\"Upstream\"), Authorino and Envoy
- Write and apply an Authorino
AuthConfig Custom Resource associated to the public host of the service
Request-time:
- A user or service account (\"Consumer\") obtains an access token to consume resources of the Upstream service, and sends a request to the Envoy ingress endpoint
- The Envoy proxy establishes fast gRPC connection with Authorino carrying data of the HTTP request (context info), which causes Authorino to lookup for an
AuthConfig Custom Resource to enforce (pre-cached) - Identity verification (authentication) phase - Authorino verifies the identity of the consumer, where at least one authentication method/identity provider must go through
- External metadata phase - Authorino fetches additional metadata for the authorization from external sources (optional)
- Policy enforcement (authorization) phase - Authorino takes as input a JSON composed out of context data, resolved identity object and fetched additional metadata from previous phases, and triggers the evaluation of user-defined authorization policies
- Response (metadata-out) phase \u2013 Authorino builds user-defined custom responses (dynamic JSON objects and/or Festival Wristband OIDC tokens), to be supplied back to the client and/or upstream service within added HTTP headers or as Envoy Dynamic Metadata (optional)
- Callbacks phase \u2013 Authorino sends callbacks to specified HTTP endpoints (optional)
- Authorino and Envoy settle the authorization protocol with either OK/NOK response
- If authorized, Envoy triggers other HTTP filters in the chain (if any), pre-injecting eventual dynamic metadata returned by Authorino, and ultimately redirects the request to the Upstream
- The Upstream serves the requested resource to the consumer

Authorino implements Envoy's external authorization gRPC protocol and therefore will accept any client request that complies.
Authorino also provides a second interface for raw HTTP authorization, suitable for using with Kubernetes ValidatingWebhook and other integrations (e.g. other proxies).
The only attribute of the authorization request that is strictly required is the host name. (See Host lookup for more information.) The other attributes, such as method, path, headers, etc, might as well be required, depending on each AuthConfig. In the case of the gRPC CheckRequest method, the host is supplied in Attributes.Request.Http.Host and alternatively in Attributes.ContextExtensions[\"host\"]. For raw HTTP authorization requests, the host must be supplied in Host HTTP header.
Check out Kuadrant for easy-to-use Envoy and Authorino deployment & configuration for API management use-cases, using Kubernetes Custom Resources.
Is Authorino an Identity Provider (IdP)? No, Authorino is not an Identity Provider (IdP). Neither it is an auth server of any kind, such as an OAuth2 server, an OpenID Connect (OIDC) server, a Single Sign On (SSO) server.
Authorino is not an identity broker either. It can verify access tokens from multiple trusted sources of identity and protocols, but it will not negotiate authentication flows for non-authenticated access requests. Some tricks nonetheless can be done, for example, to redirect unauthenticated users to a login page.
For an excellent auth server that checks all the boxes above, check out Keycloak.
How does Authorino compare to Keycloak? Keycloak is a proper auth server and identity provider (IdP). It offers a huge set of features for managing identities, identity sources with multiple user federation options, and a platform for authentication and authorization services.
Keycloak exposes authenticators that implement protocols such as OpenID Connect. The is a one-time flow that establishes the delegation of power to a client, for a short period of time. To be consistent with Zero Trust security, you want a validator to verify the short-lived tokens in every request that tries to reach your protected service/resource. This step that will repeat everytime could save heavy looking up into big tables of tokens and leverage cached authorization policies for fast in-memory evaluation. This is where Authorino comes in.
Authorino verifies and validates Keycloak-issued ID tokens. OpenID Connect Discovery is used to request and cache JSON Web Key Sets (JWKS), used to verify the signature of the tokens without having to contact again with the Keycloak server, or looking in a table of credentials. Moreover, user long-lived credentials are safe, rather than spread in hops across the network.
You can also use Keycloak for storing auth-relevant resource metadata. These can be fetched by Authorino in request-time, to be combined into your authorization policies. See Keycloak Authorization Services and User-Managed Access (UMA) support, as well as Authorino UMA external metadata counter-part.
Why doesn't Authorino handle OAuth flows? It has to do with trust. OAuth grants are supposed to be negotiated directly between whoever owns the long-lived credentials in one hand (user, service accounts), and the trustworthy auth server that receives those credentials \u2013 ideally with minimum number of hops in the middle \u2013 and exchanges them for short-lived access tokens, on the other end.
There are use-cases for Authorino running in the edge (e.g. Edge Authentication Architecture and token normalization), but in most cases Authorino should be seen as a last-mile component that provides decoupled identity verification and authorization policy enforcement to protected services in request-time. In this sense, the OAuth grant is a pre-flight exchange that happens once and as direct and safe as possible, whereas auth enforcement is kept lightweight and efficient.
Where does Authorino store users and roles? Authorino does not store users, roles, role bindings, access control lists, or any raw authorization data. Authorino handles policies, where even these policies can be stored elsewhere (as opposed to stated inline inside of an Authorino AuthConfig CR).
Authorino evaluates policies for stateless authorization requests. Any additional context is either resolved from the provided payload or static definitions inside the policies. That includes extracting user information from a JWT or client TLS certificate, requesting user metadata from opaque authentication tokens (e.g. API keys) to the trusted sources actually storing that content, obtaining synchronous HTTP metadata from services, etc.
In the case of authentication with API keys, as well as its derivative to model HTTP Basic Auth, user data are stored in Kubernetes Secrets. The secret's keys, annotations and labels are usually the structures used to organize the data that later a policy evaluated in Authorino may require. Strictly, those are not Authorino data structures.
Can't I just use Envoy JWT Authentication and RBAC filters? Envoy's JWT Authentication works pretty much similar to Authorino's JOSE/JWT verification and validation for OpenID Connect. In both cases, the JSON Web Key Sets (JWKS) to verify the JWTs are auto-loaded and cached to be used in request-time. Moreover, you can configure for details such as where to extract the JWT from the HTTP request (header, param or cookie) and do some cool tricks regarding how dynamic metadata based on JWT claims can be injected to consecutive filters in the chain.
However, in terms of authorization, while Envoy's implementation essentially allows to check for the list of audiences (aud JWT claim), Authorino opens up for a lot more options such as pattern-matching rules with operators and conditionals, built-in OPA and other methods of evaluating authorization policies.
Authorino also allows to combine JWT authentication with other types of authentication to support different sources of identity and groups of users such as API keys, Kubernetes tokens, OAuth opaque tokens , etc.
In summary, Envoy's JWT Authentication and Envoy RBAC filter are excellent solutions for simple use-cases where JWTs from one single issuer is the only authentication method you are planning to support and limited to no authorization rules suffice. On the other hand, if you need to integrate more identity sources, different types of authentication, authorization policies, etc, you might to consider Authorino.
Should I use Authorino if I already have Istio configured? Istio is a great solution for managing service meshes. It delivers an excellent platform with an interesting layer of abstraction on top of Envoy proxy's virtual omnipresence within the mesh.
There are lots of similarities, but also complementarity between Authorino and Istio and Istio Authorization in special.
Istio provides a simple way to enable features that are, in many cases, features of Envoy, such as authorization based on JWTs, authorization based on attributes of the request, and activation of external authorization services, without having to deal with complex Envoy config files. See Kuadrant for a similar approach, nonetheless leveraging features of Istio as well.
Authorino is an Envoy-compatible external authorization service. One can use Authorino with or without Istio.
In particular, Istio Authorization Policies can be seen, in terms of functionality and expressiveness, as a subset of one type of authorization policies supported by Authorino, the pattern-matching authorization policies. While Istio, however, is heavily focused on specific use cases of API Management, offering a relatively limited list of supported attribute conditions, Authorino is more generic, allowing to express authorization rules for a wider spectrum of use cases \u2013 ACLs, RBAC, ABAC, etc, pretty much counting on any attribute of the Envoy payload, identity object and external metadata available.
Authorino also provides built-in OPA authorization, several other methods of authentication and identity verification (e.g. Kubernetes token validation, API key-based authentication, OAuth token introspection, OIDC-discoverable JWT verification, etc), and features like fetching of external metadata (HTTP services, OIDC userinfo, UMA resource data), token normalization, wristband tokens and dynamic responses. These all can be used independently or combined, in a simple and straightforward Kubernetes-native fashion.
In summary, one might value Authorino when looking for a policy enforcer that offers:
- multiple supported methods and protocols for rather hybrid authentication, encompassing future and legacy auth needs;
- broader expressiveness and more functionalities for the authorization rules;
- authentication and authorization in one single declarative manifest;
- capability to fetch auth metadata from external sources on-the-fly;
- built-in OPA module;
- easy token normalization and/or aiming for Edge Authentication Architecture (EAA).
The good news is that, if you have Istio configured, then you have Envoy and the whole platform for wiring Authorino up if you want to. \ud83d\ude09
Do I have to learn OPA/Rego language to use Authorino? No, you do not. However, if you are comfortable with Rego from Open Policy Agent (OPA), there are some quite interesting things you can do in Authorino, just as you would in any OPA server or OPA plugin, but leveraging Authorino's built-in OPA module instead. Authorino's OPA module is compiled as part of Authorino's code directly from the Golang packages, and imposes no extra latency to the evaluation of your authorization policies. Even the policies themselves are pre-compiled in reconciliation-time, for fast evaluation afterwards, in request-time.
On the other hand, if you do not want to learn Rego or in any case would like to combine it with declarative and Kubernetes-native authN/authZ spec for your services, Authorino does complement OPA with at least two other methods for expressing authorization policies \u2013 i.e. pattern-matching authorization and Kubernetes SubjectAccessReview, the latter allowing to rely completely on the Kubernetes RBAC.
You break down, mix and combine these methods and technolgies in as many authorization policies as you want, potentially applying them according to specific conditions. Authorino will trigger the evaluation of concurrent policies in parallel, aborting the context if any of the processes denies access.
Authorino also packages well-established industry standards and protocols for identity verification (JOSE/JWT validation, OAuth token introspection, Kubernetes TokenReview) and ad-hoc request-time metadata fetching (OIDC userinfo, User-Managed Access (UMA)), and corresponding layers of caching, without which such functionalities would have to be implemented by code.
Can I use Authorino to protect non-REST APIs? Yes, you can. In principle, the API format (REST, gRPC, GraphQL, etc) should not matter for the authN/authZ enforcer. There are a couple points to consider though.
While REST APIs are designed in a way that, in most cases, information usually needed for the evaluation of authorization policies are available in the metadata of the HTTP request (method, path, headers), other API formats quite often will require processing of the HTTP body. By default, Envoy's external authorization HTTP filter will not forward the body of the request to Authorino; to change that, enable the with_request_body option in the Envoy configuration for the external authorization filter. E.g.:
with_request_body:\n max_request_bytes: 1024\n allow_partial_message: true\n pack_as_bytes: true\n
Additionally, when enabling the request body passed in the payload to Authorino, parsing of the content should be of concern as well. Authorino provides easy access to attributes of the HTTP request, parsed as part of the Authorization JSON, however the body of the request is passed as string and should be parsed by the user according to each case.
Check out Authorino OPA authorization and the Rego Encoding functions for options to parse serialized JSON, YAML and URL-encoded params. For XML transformation, an external parsing service connected via Authorino's HTTP GET/GET-by-POST external metadata might be required.
Can I run Authorino other than on Kubernetes? As of today, no, you cannot, or at least it wouldn't suit production requirements.
Do I have to be admin of the cluster to install Authorino? To install the Authorino Custom Resource Definition (CRD) and to define cluster roles required by the Authorino service, admin privilege to the Kubernetes cluster is required. This step happens only once per cluster and is usually equivalent to installing the Authorino Operator.
Thereafter, deploying instances of the Authorino service and applying AuthConfig custom resources to a namespace depend on the permissions set by the cluster administrator \u2013 either directly by editing the bindings in the cluster's RBAC, or via options of the operator. In most cases, developers will be granted permissions to create and manage AuthConfigs, and sometimes to deploy their own instances of Authorino.
Is it OK to store AuthN/AuthZ configs as Kubernetes objects? Authorino's API checks all the bullets to be aggregated to the Kubernetes cluster APIs, and therefore using Custom Resource Definition (CRD) and the Operator pattern has always been an easy design decision.
By merging the definitions of service authN/authZ to the control plane, Authorino AuthConfig resources can be thought as extensions of the specs of the desired state of services regarding the data flow security. The Authorino custom controllers, built-in into the authorization service, are the agents that read from that desired state and reconcile the processes operating in the data plane.
Authorino is declarative and seamless for developers and cluster administrators managing the state of security of the applications running in the server, used to tools such as kubectl, the Kubernetes UI and its dashboards. Instead of learning about yet another configuration API format, Authorino users can jump straight to applying and editing YAML or JSON structures they already know, in a way that things such as spec, status, namespace and labels have the meaning they are expected to have, and docs are as close as kubectl explain. Moreover, Authorino does not pile up any other redundant layers of APIs, event-processing, RBAC, transformation and validation webhooks, etc. It is Kubernetes in its best.
In terms of scale, Authorino AuthConfigs should grow proportionally to the number of protected services, virtually limited by nothing but the Kubernetes API data storage, while namespace division and label selectors help adjust horizontally and keep distributed.
In other words, there are lots of benefits of using Kubernetes custom resources and custom controllers, and unless you are planning on bursting your server with more services than it can keep record, it is totally \ud83d\udc4d to store your AuthN/AuthZ configs as cluster API objects.
Can I use Authorino for rate limiting? You can, but you shouldn't. Check out instead Limitador, for simple and efficient global rate limiting. Combine it with Authorino and Authorino's support for Envoy Dynamic Metadata for authenticated rate limiting.

The main components are: Authorino, Envoy and the Upstream service to be protected. Envoy proxies requests to the configured virtual host upstream service, first contacting with Authorino to decide on authN/authZ.
The topology can vary from centralized proxy and centralized authorization service, to dedicated sidecars, with the nuances in between. Read more about the topologies in the Topologies section below.
Authorino is deployed using the Authorino Operator, from an Authorino Kubernetes custom resource. Then, from another kind of custom resource, the AuthConfig CRs, each Authorino instance reads and adds to the index the exact rules of authN/authZ to enforce for each protected host (\"index reconciliation\").
Everything that the AuthConfig reconciler can fetch in reconciliation-time is stored in the index. This is the case of static parameters such as signing keys, authentication secrets and authorization policies from external policy registries.
AuthConfigs can refer to identity providers (IdP) and trusted auth servers whose access tokens will be accepted to authenticate to the protected host. Consumers obtain an authentication token (short-lived access token or long-lived API key) and send those in the requests to the protected service.
When Authorino is triggered by Envoy via the gRPC interface, it starts evaluating the Auth Pipeline, i.e. it applies to the request the parameters to verify the identity and to enforce authorization, as found in the index for the requested host (See host lookup for details).
Apart from static rules, these parameters can include instructions to contact online with external identity verifiers, external sources of metadata and policy decision points (PDPs).
On every request, Authorino's \"working memory\" is called Authorization JSON, a data structure that holds information about the context (the HTTP request) and objects from each phase of the auth pipeline: i.e., authentication verification (phase i), ad-hoc metadata fetching (phase ii), authorization policy enforcement (phase iii), dynamic response (phase iv), and callbacks (phase v). The evaluators in each of these phases can both read and write from the Authorization JSON for dynamic steps and decisions of authN/authZ.
"},{"location":"authorino/docs/architecture/#topologies","title":"Topologies","text":"Typically, upstream APIs are deployed to the same Kubernetes cluster and namespace where the Envoy proxy and Authorino is running (although not necessarily). Whatever is the case, Envoy must be proxying to the upstream API (see Envoy's HTTP route components and virtual hosts) and pointing to Authorino in the external authorization filter.
This can be achieved with different topologies:
- Envoy can be a centralized gateway with one dedicated instance of Authorino, proxying to one or more upstream services
- Envoy can be deployed as a sidecar of each protected service, but still contacting from a centralized Authorino authorization service
- Both Envoy and Authorino deployed as sidecars of the protected service, restricting all communication between them to localhost
Each topology above induces different measures for security.

Namespace-scoped instances only watch resources (AuthConfigs and Secrets) created in a given namespace. This deployment mode does not require admin privileges over the Kubernetes cluster to deploy the instance of the service (given Authorino's CRDs have been installed beforehand, such as when Authorino is installed using the Authorino Operator).
Cluster-wide deployment mode, in contraposition, deploys instances of Authorino that watch resources across the entire cluster, consolidating all resources into a multi-namespace index of auth configs. Admin privileges over the Kubernetes cluster is required to deploy Authorino in cluster-wide mode.
Be careful to avoid superposition when combining multiple Authorino instances and instance modes in the same Kubernetes cluster. Apart from caching unnecessary auth config data in the instances depending on your routing settings, the leaders of each instance (set of replicas) may compete for updating the status of the custom resources that are reconciled. See Resource reconciliation and status update for more information.
If necessary, use label selectors to narrow down the space of resources watched and reconciled by each Authorino instance. Check out the Sharding section below for details.

"},{"location":"authorino/docs/architecture/#resource-reconciliation-and-status-update","title":"Resource reconciliation and status update","text":"The instances of the Authorino authorization service workload, following the Operator pattern, watch events related to the AuthConfig custom resources, to build and reconcile an in-memory index of configs. Whenever a replica receives traffic for authorization request, it looks up in the index of AuthConfigs and then triggers the \"Auth Pipeline\", i.e. enforces the associated auth spec onto the request.
An instance can be a single authorization service workload or a set of replicas. All replicas watch and reconcile the same set of resources that match the --auth-config-label-selector and --secret-label-selector configuration options. (See both Cluster-wide vs. Namespaced instances and Sharding, for details about defining the reconciliation space of Authorino instances.)
The above means that all replicas of an Authorino instance should be able to receive traffic for authorization requests.
Among the multiple replicas of an instance, Authorino elects one replica to be leader. The leader is responsible for updating the status of reconciled AuthConfigs. If the leader eventually becomes unavailable, the instance will automatically elect another replica take its place as the new leader.
The status of an AuthConfig tells whether the resource is \"ready\" (i.e. indexed). It also includes summary information regarding the numbers of authentication configs, metadata configs, authorization configs and response configs within the spec, as well as whether Festival Wristband tokens are being issued by the Authorino instance as by spec.
Apart from watching events related to AuthConfig custom resources, Authorino also watches events related to Kubernetes Secrets, as part of Authorino's API key authentication feature. Secret resources that store API keys are linked to their corresponding AuthConfigs in the index. Whenever the Authorino instance detects a change in the set of API key Secrets linked to an AuthConfigs, the instance reconciles the index.
Authorino only watches events related to Secrets whose metadata.labels match the label selector --secret-label-selector of the Authorino instance. The default values of the label selector for Kubernetes Secrets representing Authorino API keys is authorino.kuadrant.io/managed-by=authorino.

- (i) Authentication phase: at least one source of identity (i.e., one authentication config) must resolve the supplied credential in the request into a valid identity or Authorino will otherwise reject the request as unauthenticated (401 HTTP response status).
- (ii) Metadata phase: optional fetching of additional data from external sources, to add up to context and identity information, and used in authorization policies, dynamic responses and callback requests (phases iii to v).

"},{"location":"authorino/docs/architecture/#host-lookup","title":"Host lookup","text":"Authorino reads the request host from Attributes.Http.Host of Envoy's CheckRequest type, and uses it as key to lookup in the index of AuthConfigs, matched against spec.hosts.
Alternatively to Attributes.Http.Host, a host entry can be supplied in the Attributes.ContextExtensions map of the external authorino request. This will take precedence before the host attribute of the HTTP request.
The host context extension is useful to support use cases such as of path prefix-based lookup and wildcard subdomains lookup with lookup strongly dictated by the external authorization client (e.g. Envoy), which often knows about routing and the expected AuthConfig to enforce beyond what Authorino can infer strictly based on the host name.
Wildcards can also be used in the host names specified in the AuthConfig, resolved by Authorino. E.g. if *.pets.com is in spec.hosts, Authorino will match the concrete host names dogs.pets.com, cats.pets.com, etc. In case, of multiple possible matches, Authorino will try the longest match first (in terms of host name labels) and fall back to the closest wildcard upwards in the domain tree (if any).
When more than one host name is specified in the AuthConfig, all of them can be used as key, i.e. all of them can be requested in the authorization request and will be mapped to the same config.
Example. Host lookup with wildcards.
The domain tree above induces the following relation:
foo.nip.io \u2192 authconfig-1 (matches *.io)talker-api.nip.io \u2192 authconfig-2 (matches talker-api.nip.io)dogs.pets.com \u2192 authconfig-2 (matches *.pets.com)api.acme.com \u2192 authconfig-3 (matches api.acme.com)www.acme.com \u2192 authconfig-4 (matches *.acme.com)foo.org \u2192 404 Not found
The host can include the port number (i.e. hostname:port) or it can be just the name of the host name. Authorino will first try finding in the index a config associated to hostname:port, as supplied in the authorization request; if the index misses an entry for hostname:port, Authorino will then remove the :port suffix and repeat the lookup using just hostname as key. This provides implicit support for multiple port numbers for a same host without having to list all combinations in the AuthConfig.
"},{"location":"authorino/docs/architecture/#avoiding-host-name-collision","title":"Avoiding host name collision","text":"Authorino tries to prevent host name collision between AuthConfigs by rejecting to link in the index any AuthConfig and host name if the host name is already linked to a different AuthConfig in the index. This was intentionally designed to prevent users from superseding each other's AuthConfigs, partially or fully, by just picking the same host names or overlapping host names as others.
When wildcards are involved, a host name that matches a host wildcard already linked in the index to another AuthConfig will be considered taken, and therefore the newest AuthConfig will be rejected to be linked to that host.
This behavior can be disabled to allow AuthConfigs to partially supersede each others' host names (limited to strict host subsets), by supplying the --allow-superseding-host-subsets command-line flag when running the Authorino instance.

At phase (iii), the authorization evaluators count on an Authorization JSON payload that looks like the following:

// The authorization JSON combined along Authorino's auth pipeline for each request\n{\n \"context\": { // the input from the proxy\n \"origin\": {\u2026},\n \"request\": {\n \"http\": {\n \"method\": \"\u2026\",\n \"headers\": {\u2026},\n \"path\": \"/\u2026\",\n \"host\": \"\u2026\",\n \u2026\n }\n }\n },\n \"auth\": {\n \"identity\": {\n // the identity resolved, from the supplied credentials, by one of the evaluators of phase (i)\n },\n \"metadata\": {\n // each metadata object/collection resolved by the evaluators of phase (ii), by name of the evaluator\n },\n \"authorization\": {\n // each authorization policy result resolved by the evaluators of phase (iii), by name of the evaluator\n }\n }\n}\n
Festival Wristbands and Dynamic JSON responses can include dynamic values (custom claims/properties) fetched from the authorization JSON. These can be returned to the external authorization client in added HTTP headers or as Envoy Well Known Dynamic Metadata. Check out Custom response features for details.

This second interface responds to GET and POST HTTP requests sent to :5001/check, and is suitable for other forms of integration, such as:
- using Authorino as Kubernetes ValidatingWebhook service (example);
- other HTTP proxies and API gateways;
- old versions of Envoy incompatible with the latest version of gRPC external authorization protocol (Authorino is based on v3.19.1 of Envoy external authorization API)
In the raw HTTP interface, the host used to lookup for an AuthConfig must be supplied in the Host HTTP header of the request. Other attributes of the HTTP request are also passed in the context to evaluate the AuthConfig, including the body of the request.

To support combining multiple Authorino instances and instance modes in the same Kubernetes cluster, and yet avoiding superposition between the instances (i.e. multiple instances reconciling the same AuthConfigs), Authorino offers support for data sharding, i.e. to horizontally narrow down the space of reconciliation of an Authorino instance to a subset of that space.
The benefits of limiting the space of reconciliation of an Authorino instance include avoiding unnecessary caching and workload in instances that do not receive corresponding traffic (according to your routing settings) and preventing leaders of multiple instances (sets of replicas) to compete on resource status updates (see Resource reconciliation and status update for details).
Use-cases for sharding of AuthConfigs:
- Horizontal load balancing of traffic of authorization requests
- Supporting for managed centralized instances of Authorino to API owners who create and maintain their own
AuthConfigs within their own user namespaces.
Authorino's custom controllers filter the AuthConfig-related events to be reconciled using Kubernetes label selectors, defined for the Authorino instance via --auth-config-label-selector command-line flag. By default, --auth-config-label-selector is empty, meaning all AuthConfigs in the space are watched; this variable can be set to any value parseable as a valid label selector, causing Authorino to then watch only events of AuthConfigs whose metadata.labels match the selector.
The following are all valid examples of AuthConfig label selector filters:
--auth-config-label-selector=\"authorino.kuadrant.io/managed-by=authorino\"\n--auth-config-label-selector=\"authorino.kuadrant.io/managed-by=authorino,other-label=other-value\"\n--auth-config-label-selector=\"authorino.kuadrant.io/managed-by in (authorino,kuadrant)\"\n--auth-config-label-selector=\"authorino.kuadrant.io/managed-by!=authorino-v0.4\"\n--auth-config-label-selector=\"!disabled\"\n

These can be a specific identity verification method based on a supported authentication protocol, or a method to fetch additional auth metadata in request-time, etc.
Most features of Authorino relate to the different phases of the Auth Pipeline and therefore are configured in the Authorino AuthConfig. An identity verification/authentication feature usually refers to a functionality of Authorino such as the API key-based authentication, the validation of JWTs/OIDC ID tokens, and authentication based on Kubernetes TokenReviews. Analogously, OPA, pattern-matching and Kubernetes SubjectAccessReview are examples of authorization features of Authorino.
At a deeper level, a feature can also be an additional functionality within a bigger feature, usually applicable to the whole class the bigger feature belongs to. For instance, the configuration of how auth credentials expected to be carried in the request, which is broadly available for any identity verification method. Other examples are: Identity extension and Priorities.
A full specification of all features of Authorino that can be configured in an AuthConfig can be found in the official spec of the custom resource definition.
You can also learn about Authorino features by using the kubectl explain command in a Kubernetes cluster where the Authorino CRD has been installed. E.g. kubectl explain authconfigs.spec.authentication.credentials.

Usage examples of JSON paths are: dynamic URLs and request parameters when fetching metadata from external sources, dynamic authorization policy rules, and dynamic authorization response attributes (e.g. injected HTTP headers, Festival Wristband token claims, etc).
"},{"location":"authorino/docs/features/#syntax","title":"Syntax","text":"The syntax to fetch data from the Authorization JSON with JSON paths is based on GJSON. Refer to GJSON Path Syntax page for more information.

@strip Strips out any non-printable characters such as carriage return. E.g. auth.identity.email.@strip \u2192 \"jane@petcorp.com\".
@case:upper|lower Changes the case of a string. E.g. auth.identity.username.@case:upper \u2192 \"JANE\".
@replace:{\"old\":string,\"new\":string} Replaces a substring within a string. E.g. auth.identity.username.@replace:{\"old\":\"Smith\",\"new\":\"Doe\"} \u2192 \"Jane Doe\".
@extract:{\"sep\":string,\"pos\":int} Splits a string at occurrences of a separator (default: \" \") and selects the substring at the pos-th position (default: 0). E.g. context.request.path.@extract:{\"sep\":\"/\",\"pos\":2} \u2192 123.
@base64:encode|decode base64-encodes or decodes a string value. E.g. auth.identity.username.decoded.@base64:encode \u2192 \"amFuZQo=\".
In combination with @extract, @base64 can be used to extract the username in an HTTP Basic Authentication request. E.g. context.request.headers.authorization.@extract:{\"pos\":1}|@base64:decode|@extract:{\"sep\":\":\",\"pos\":1} \u2192 \"jane\".

To define an API key, create a Secret in the cluster containing an api_key entry that holds the value of the API key.
API key secrets must be created in the same namespace of the AuthConfig (default) or spec.authentication.apiKey.allNamespaces must be set to true (only works with cluster-wide Authorino instances).
API key secrets must be labeled with the labels that match the selectors specified in spec.authentication.apiKey.selector in the AuthConfig.
Whenever an AuthConfig is indexed, Authorino will also index all matching API key secrets. In order for Authorino to also watch events related to API key secrets individually (e.g. new Secret created, updates, deletion/revocation), Secrets must also include a label that matches Authorino's bootstrap configuration --secret-label-selector (default: authorino.kuadrant.io/managed-by=authorino). This label may or may not be present to spec.authentication.apiKey.selector in the AuthConfig without implications for the caching of the API keys when triggered by the reconciliation of the AuthConfig; however, if not present, individual changes related to the API key secret (i.e. without touching the AuthConfig) will be ignored by the reconciler.
Example. For the following AuthConfig:
apiVersion: authorino.kuadrant.io/v1beta2\nkind: AuthConfig\nmetadata:\n name: my-api-protection\n namespace: authorino-system\nspec:\n hosts:\n - my-api.io\n authentication:\n \"api-key-users\":\n apiKey:\n selector:\n matchLabels: # the key-value set used to select the matching `Secret`s; resources including these labels will be accepted as valid API keys to authenticate to this service\n group: friends # some custom label\n allNamespaces: true # only works with cluster-wide Authorino instances; otherwise, create the API key secrets in the same namespace of the AuthConfig\n
The following Kubernetes Secret represents a valid API key:
apiVersion: v1\nkind: Secret\nmetadata:\n name: user-1-api-key-1\n namespace: default\n labels:\n authorino.kuadrant.io/managed-by: authorino # so the Authorino controller reconciles events related to this secret\n group: friends\nstringData:\n api_key: <some-randomly-generated-api-key-value>\ntype: Opaque\n

Then, in request-time, Authorino verifies the JSON Web Signature (JWS) and check the time validity of signed JSON Web Tokens (JWT) supplied on each request.
Important! Authorino does not implement OAuth2 grants nor OIDC authentication flows. As a common recommendation of good practice, obtaining and refreshing access tokens is for clients to negotiate directly with the auth servers and token issuers. Authorino will only validate those tokens using the parameters provided by the trusted issuer authorities.
The kid claim stated in the JWT header must match one of the keys cached by Authorino during OpenID Connect Discovery, therefore supporting JWK rotation.
The decoded payload of the validated JWT is appended to the authorization JSON as the resolved identity.
OpenID Connect configurations and linked JSON Web Key Sets can be configured to be automatically refreshed (pull again from the OpenID Connect Discovery well-known endpoints), by setting the authentication.jwt.ttl field (given in seconds, default: 0 \u2013 i.e. auto-refresh disabled).
For an excellent summary of the underlying concepts and standards that relate OpenID Connect and JSON Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE), see this article by Jan Rusnacko.

Developers must set the token introspection endpoint in the AuthConfig, as well as a reference to the Kubernetes secret storing the credentials of the OAuth client to be used by Authorino when requesting the introspect.
The response returned by the OAuth2 server to the token introspection request is the resolved identity appended to the authorization JSON.

Trusted root CA secrets must be created in the same namespace of the AuthConfig (default) or spec.authentication.x509.allNamespaces must be set to true (only works with cluster-wide Authorino instances).
Client certificates must include x509 v3 extension specifying 'Client Authentication' extended key usage.

This feature is particularly useful in cases where authentication/identity verification is handled before invoking the authorization service and its resolved value injected in the payload can be trusted.

A typical use-case for this feature is token normalization. Say you have more than one identity source listed in your AuthConfig but each source issues an access token with a different JSON structure \u2013 e.g. two OIDC issuers that use different names for custom JWT claims of similar meaning; when two different identity verification/authentication methods are combined, such as API keys (whose identity objects are the corresponding Kubernetes Secrets) and Kubernetes tokens (whose identity objects are Kubernetes UserInfo data).
In such cases, identity extension can be used to normalize the token to always include the same set of JSON properties of interest, regardless of the source of identity that issued the original token verified by Authorino. This simplifies the writing of authorization policies and configuration of dynamic responses.
In case of extending an existing property of the identity object (replacing), the API allows to control whether to overwrite the value or not. This is particularly useful for normalizing tokens of a same identity source that nonetheless may occasionally differ in structure, such as in the case of JWT claims that sometimes may not be present but can be safely replaced with another (e.g. username or sub).

Since the UMA-compliant server is expected to know about the resources, Authorino includes a client that fetches resource data from the server and adds that as metadata of the authorization payload.
This enables the implementation of resource-level Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) policies. Attributes of the resource fetched in a UMA flow can be, e.g., the owner of the resource, or any business-level attributes stored in the UMA-compliant server.
A UMA-compliant server is an external authorization server (e.g., Keycloak) where the protected resources are registered. It can be as well the upstream API itself, as long as it implements the UMA protocol, with initial authentication by client_credentials grant to exchange for a Protected API Token (PAT).
It's important to notice that Authorino does NOT manage resources in the UMA-compliant server. As shown in the flow above, Authorino's UMA client is only to fetch data about the requested resources. Authorino exchanges client credentials for a Protected API Token (PAT), then queries for resources whose URI match the path of the HTTP request (as passed to Authorino by the Envoy proxy) and fetches data of each matching resource.
The resources data is added as metadata of the authorization payload and passed as input for the configured authorization policies. All resources returned by the UMA-compliant server in the query by URI are passed along. They are available in the PDPs (authorization payload) as input.auth.metadata.custom-name => Array.

Evaluators of same priority execute concurrently to each other \"in a block\". After syncing that block (i.e. after all evaluators of the block have returned), the next block of evaluator configs of consecutive priority is triggered.
Use cases for priorities are: 1. Saving expensive tasks to be triggered when there's a high chance of returning immediately after finishing executing a less expensive one \u2013 e.g. - an identity config that calls an external IdP to verify a token that is rarely used, compared to verifying JWTs preferred by most users of the service; - an authorization policy that performs some quick checks first, such as verifying allowed paths, and only if it passes, moves to the evaluation of a more expensive policy. 2. Establishing dependencies between evaluators - e.g. - an external metadata request that needs to wait until a previous metadata responds first (in order to use data from the response)
Priorities can be set using the priority property available in all evaluator configs of all phases of the Auth Pipeline (identity, metadata, authorization and response). The lower the number, the highest the priority. By default, all evaluators have priority 0 (i.e. highest priority).
Consider the following example to understand how priorities work:
apiVersion: authorino.kuadrant.io/v1beta2\nkind: AuthConfig\nmetadata:\n name: talker-api-protection\nspec:\n hosts:\n - talker-api\n authentication:\n \"tier-1\":\n priority: 0\n apiKey:\n selector:\n matchLabels:\n tier: \"1\"\n \"tier-2\":\n priority: 1\n apiKey:\n selector:\n matchLabels:\n tier: \"2\"\n \"tier-3\":\n priority: 1\n apiKey:\n selector:\n matchLabels:\n tier: \"3\"\n metadata:\n \"first\":\n http:\n url: http://talker-api:3000\n \"second\":\n priority: 1\n http:\n url: http://talker-api:3000/first_uuid={auth.metadata.first.uuid}\n authorization:\n \"allowed-endpoints\":\n when:\n - selector: context.request.http.path\n operator: neq\n value: /hi\n - selector: context.request.http.path\n operator: neq\n value: /hello\n - selector: context.request.http.path\n operator: neq\n value: /aloha\n - selector: context.request.http.path\n operator: neq\n value: /ciao\n patternMatching:\n patterns:\n - selector: deny\n operator: eq\n value: \"true\"\n \"more-expensive-policy\": # no point in evaluating this one if it's not an allowed endpoint\n priority: 1\n opa:\n rego: |\n allow { true }\n response:\n success:\n headers:\n \"x-auth-data\":\n json:\n properties:\n \"tier\":\n selector: auth.identity.metadata.labels.tier\n \"first-uuid\":\n selector: auth.metadata.first.uuid\n \"second-uuid\":\n selector: auth.metadata.second.uuid\n \"second-path\":\n selector: auth.metadata.second.path\n
For the AuthConfig above,
-
Identity configs tier-2 and tier-3 (priority 1) will only trigger (concurrently) in case tier-1 (priority 0) fails to validate the authentication token first. (This behavior happens without prejudice of context canceling between concurrent evaluators \u2013 i.e. evaluators that are triggered concurrently to another, such as tier-2 and tier-3, continue to cancel the context of each other if any of them succeeds validating the token first.)
-
Metadata source second (priority 1) uses the response of the request issued by metadata source first (priority 0), so it will wait for first to finish by triggering only in the second block.
-
Authorization policy allowed-endpoints (priority 0) is considered to be a lot less expensive than more-expensive-policy (priority 1) and has a high chance of denying access to the protected service (if the path is not one of the allowed endpoints). By setting different priorities to these policies we ensure the more expensive policy if triggered in sequence of the less expensive one, instead of concurrently.

ix) to avoid repetition while defining patterns for conditions:

"},{"location":"authorino/docs/features/#common-feature-caching-cache","title":"Common feature: Caching (cache)","text":"Objects resolved at runtime in an Auth Pipeline can be cached \"in-memory\", and avoided being evaluated again at a subsequent request, until it expires. A lookup cache key and a TTL can be set individually for any evaluator config in an AuthConfig.
Each cache config induces a completely independent cache table (or \"cache namespace\"). Consequently, different evaluator configs can use the same cache key and there will be no collision between entries from different evaluators.
E.g.:
spec:\n hosts:\n - my-api.io\n\n authentication: [\u2026]\n\n metadata:\n \"external-metadata\":\n http:\n url: http://my-external-source?search={context.request.http.path}\n cache:\n key:\n selector: context.request.http.path\n ttl: 300\n\n authorization:\n \"complex-policy\":\n opa:\n externalPolicy:\n url: http://my-policy-registry\n cache:\n key:\n selector: \"{auth.identity.group}-{context.request.http.method}-{context.request.http.path}\"\n ttl: 60\n
The example above sets caching for the 'external-metadata' metadata config and for the 'complex-policy' authorization policy. In the case of 'external-metadata', the cache key is the path of the original HTTP request being authorized by Authorino (fetched dynamically from the Authorization JSON); i.e., after obtaining a metadata object from the external source for a given contextual HTTP path one first time, whenever that same HTTP path repeats in a subsequent request, Authorino will use the cached object instead of sending a request again to the external source of metadata. After 5 minutes (300 seconds), the cache entry will expire and Authorino will fetch again from the source if requested.
As for the 'complex-policy' authorization policy, the cache key is a string composed the 'group' the identity belongs to, the method of the HTTP request and the path of the HTTP request. Whenever these repeat, Authorino will use the result of the policy that was evaluated and cached priorly. Cache entries in this namespace expire after 60 seconds.
Notes on evaluator caching
Capacity - By default, each cache namespace is limited to 1 mb. Entries will be evicted following First-In-First-Out (FIFO) policy to release space. The individual capacity of cache namespaces is set at the level of the Authorino instance (via --evaluator-cache-size command-line flag or spec.evaluatorCacheSize field of the Authorino CR).
Usage - Avoid caching objects whose evaluation is considered to be relatively cheap. Examples of operations associated to Authorino auth features that are usually NOT worth caching: validation of JSON Web Tokens (JWT), Kubernetes TokenReviews and SubjectAccessReviews, API key validation, simple JSON pattern-matching authorization rules, simple OPA policies. Examples of operations where caching may be desired: OAuth2 token introspection, fetching of metadata from external sources (via HTTP request), complex OPA policies.
"},{"location":"authorino/docs/features/#common-feature-metrics-metrics","title":"Common feature: Metrics (metrics)","text":"By default, Authorino will only export metrics down to the level of the AuthConfig.

-
Kubernetes server (recommended v1.20 or later), with permission to create Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) (for bootstrapping Authorino and Authorino Operator)
Alternative: K8s distros and platforms
Alternatively to upstream Kubernetes, you should be able to use any other Kubernetes distribution or Kubernetes Management Platform (KMP) with support for Kubernetes Custom Resources Definitions (CRD) and custom controllers, such as Red Hat OpenShift, IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service (IKS), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
-
Envoy proxy (recommended v1.19 or later), to wire up Upstream services (i.e. the services to be protected with Authorino) and external authorization filter (Authorino) for integrations based on the reverse-proxy architecture - example
Alternative: Non-reverse-proxy integration
Technically, any client that implements Envoy's external authorization gRPC protocol should be compatible with Authorino. For integrations based on the reverse-proxy architecture nevertheless, we strongly recommended that you leverage Envoy alongside Authorino.
"},{"location":"authorino/docs/getting-started/#feature-specific-requirements","title":"Feature-specific requirements","text":"A few examples are:
-
For OpenID Connect, make sure you have access to an identity provider (IdP) and an authority that can issue ID tokens (JWTs). Check out Keycloak which can solve both and connect to external identity sources and user federation like LDAP.
-
For Kubernetes authentication tokens, platform support for the TokenReview and SubjectAccessReview APIs of Kubernetes shall be required. In case you want to be able to requests access tokens for clients running outside the custer, you may also want to check out the requisites for using Kubernetes TokenRequest API (GA in v1.20).
-
For User-Managed Access (UMA) resource data, you will need a UMA-compliant server running as well. This can be an implementation of the UMA protocol by each upstream API itself or (more typically) an external server that knows about the resources. Again, Keycloak can be a good fit here as well. Just keep in mind that, whatever resource server you choose, changing-state actions commanded in the upstream APIs or other parties will have to be reflected in the resource server. Authorino will not do that for you.

"},{"location":"authorino/docs/getting-started/#protect-a-service","title":"Protect a service","text":"The most typical integration to protect services with Authorino is by putting the service (upstream) behind a reverse-proxy or API gateway, enabled with an authorization filter that ensures all requests to the service are first checked with the authorization server (Authorino).
To do that, make sure you have your upstream service deployed and running, usually in the same Kubernetes server where you installed Authorino. Then, setup an Envoy proxy and create an Authorino AuthConfig for your service.
Authorino exposes 2 interfaces to serve the authorization requests:
- a gRPC interface that implements Envoy's External Authorization protocol;
- a raw HTTP authorization interface, suitable for using Authorino with Kubernetes ValidatingWebhook, for Envoy external authorization via HTTP, and other integrations (e.g. other proxies).
To use Authorino as a simple satellite (sidecar) Policy Decision Point (PDP), applications can integrate directly via any of these interfaces. By integrating via a proxy or API gateway, the combination makes Authorino to perform as an external Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) completely decoupled from the application.

Permission Association between a protected resource the authorization policies that must be evaluated whether access should be granted; e.g. <user|group|role> CAN DO <action> ON RESOURCE <X>.
Policy Rule or condition (authorization policy) that must be satisfied to grant access to a resource; strongly related to the different access control mechanisms (ACMs) and strategies one can use to protect resources, e.g. attribute-based access control (ABAC), role-based access control (RBAC), context-based access control, user-based access control (UBAC).
Policy Administration Point (PAP) Set of UIs and APIs to manage resources servers, resources, scopes, policies and permissions; it is where the auth system is configured.
Policy Decision Point (PDP) Where the authorization requests are sent, with permissions being requested, and authorization policies are evaluated accordingly.

Role-based Access Control (RBAC) Authorization model that grants/denies access to resources based on the roles of authenticated users (rather than on complex attributes/policy rules).
Scope Mechanism that defines the specific operations that applications can be allowed to do or information that they can request on an identity\u2019s behalf; often presented as a parameter when access is requested as a way to communicate what access is needed, and used by auth server to respond what actual access is granted.
Single Page Application (SPA) Web application or website that interacts with the user by dynamically rewriting the current web page with new data from the web server.
Single Sign-on (SSO) Authentication scheme that allows a user to log in with a single ID and password to any of several related, yet independent, software systems.

Kubernetes RBAC for service authorization (SubjectAccessReview API) Manage permissions in the Kubernetes RBAC and let Authorino to check them in request-time with the authorization system of the cluster.
-
Authorization with Keycloak Authorization Services Use Authorino as an adapter for Keycloak Authorization Services without importing any library or rebuilding your application code.
-
Integration with Authzed/SpiceDB Permission requests sent to a Google Zanzibar-based Authzed/SpiceDB instance, via gRPC.
-
Injecting data in the request Inject HTTP headers with serialized JSON content.
-
Authenticated rate limiting (with Envoy Dynamic Metadata) Provide Envoy with dynamic metadata from the external authorization process to be injected and used by consecutive filters, such as by a rate limiting service.
-
Redirecting to a login page Customize response status code and headers on failed requests. E.g. redirect users of a web application protected with Authorino to a login page instead of a 401 Unauthorized; mask resources on access denied behind a 404 Not Found response instead of 403 Forbidden.
-
Mixing Envoy built-in filter for auth and Authorino Have JWT validation handled by Envoy beforehand and the JWT payload injected into the request to Authorino, to be used in custom authorization policies defined in a AuthConfig.
-
Host override via context extension Induce the lookup of an AuthConfig by supplying extended host context, for use cases such as of path prefix-based lookup and wildcard subdomains lookup.
-
Using Authorino as ValidatingWebhook service Use Authorino as a generic Kubernetes ValidatingWebhook service where the rules to validate a request to the Kubernetes API are written in an AuthConfig.
-
Reducing the operational space: sharding, noise and multi-tenancy Have multiple instances of Authorino running in the same space (Kubernetes namespace or cluster-scoped), yet watching particular sets of resources.
-
Caching Cache auth objects resolved at runtime for any configuration bit of an AuthConfig, for easy access in subsequent requests whenever an arbitrary cache key repeats, until the cache entry expires.
-
Observability Prometheus metrics exported by Authorino, readiness probe, logging, tracing, etc.

The example above enables anonymous access (i.e. removes authentication), without adding any extra layer of protection to the API. This is virtually equivalent to setting a top-level condition to the AuthConfig that always skips the configuration, or to switching authentication/authorization off completely in the route to the API.
For more sophisticated use cases of anonymous access with Authorino, consider combining this feature with other identity sources in the AuthConfig while playing with the priorities of each source, as well as combination with when conditions, and/or adding authorization policies that either cover authentication or address anonymous access with proper rules (e.g. enforcing read-only access).
Check out the docs for the Anonymous access feature for an example of an AuthConfig that falls back to anonymous access when a priority OIDC/JWT-based authentication fails, and enforces a read-only policy in such cases.

This is particularly useful for configuration bits whose evaluation is significantly more expensive than accessing the cache. E.g.:
- Caching of metadata fetched from external sources in general
- Caching of previously validated identity access tokens (e.g. for OAuth2 opaque tokens that involve consuming the token introspection endpoint of an external auth server)
- Caching of complex Rego policies that involve sending requests to external services
Cases where one will NOT want to enable caching, due to relatively cheap compared to accessing and managing the cache:
- Validation of OIDC/JWT access tokens
- OPA/Rego policies that do not involve external requests
- JSON pattern-matching authorization
- Dynamic JSON responses
- Anonymous access
Authorino capabilities featured in this guide: - Common feature \u2192 Caching
- Identity verification & authentication \u2192 Anonymous access
- External auth metadata \u2192 HTTP GET/GET-by-POST
- Authorization \u2192 Open Policy Agent (OPA) Rego policies
- Dynamic response \u2192 JSON injection

If you do not own a Kubernetes server already and just want to try out the steps in this guide, you can create a local containerized cluster by executing the command below. In this case, the main requirement is having Kind installed, with either Docker or Podman.
kind create cluster --name authorino-tutorial\n
The next steps walk you through installing Authorino, deploying and configuring a sample service called Talker API to be protected by the authorization service.
Using Kuadrant If you are a user of Kuadrant and already have your workload cluster configured and sample service application deployed, as well as your Gateway API network resources applied to route traffic to your service, skip straight to step \u277a.
At step \u277a, instead of creating an AuthConfig custom resource, create a Kuadrant AuthPolicy one. The schema of the AuthConfig's spec matches the one of the AuthPolicy's, except spec.host, which is not available in the Kuadrant AuthPolicy. Host names in a Kuadrant AuthPolicy are inferred automatically from the Kubernetes network object referred in spec.targetRef and route selectors declared in the policy.

The example below enables caching for the external source of metadata, which in this case, for convenience, is the same upstream API protected by Authorino (i.e. the Talker API), though consumed directly by Authorino, without passing through the proxy. This API generates a uuid random hash that it injects in the JSON response. This value is different in every request processed by the API.
The example also enables caching of returned OPA virtual documents. cached-authz is a trivial Rego policy that always grants access, but generates a timestamp, which Authorino will cache.
In both cases, the path of the HTTP request is used as cache key. I.e., whenever the path repeats, Authorino reuse the values stored previously in each cache table (cached-metadata and cached-authz), respectively saving a request to the external source of metadata and the evaluation of the OPA policy. Cache entries will expire in both cases after 60 seconds they were stored in the cache.
The cached values will be visible in the response returned by the Talker API in x-authz-data header injected by Authorino. This way, we can tell when an existing value in the cache was used and when a new one was generated and stored.

The very definition of \"edge\" is subject to discussion, but the underlying idea is that clients (e.g. API clients, IoT devices, etc.) authenticate with a layer that, before moving traffic to inside the network: - understands the complexity of all the different methods of authentication supported; - sometimes some token normalization is involved; - eventually enforces some preliminary authorization policies; and - possibly filters data bits that are sensitive to privacy concerns (e.g. to comply with local legislation such as GRPD, CCPA, etc)
As a minimum, EAA allows to simplify authentication between applications and microservices inside the network, as well as to reduce authorization to domain-specific rules and policies, rather than having to deal all the complexity to support all types of clients in every node.
Authorino capabilities featured in this guide: - Dynamic response \u2192 Festival Wristband tokens
- Identity verification & authentication \u2192 Identity extension
- Identity verification & authentication \u2192 API key
- Identity verification & authentication \u2192 JWT verification
Festival Wristbands are OpenID Connect ID tokens (signed JWTs) issued by Authorino by the end of the Auth Pipeline, for authorized requests. It can be configured to include claims based on static values and values fetched from the Authorization JSON.
Check out as well the user guides about Token normalization, Authentication with API keys and OpenID Connect Discovery and authentication with JWTs.
For further details about Authorino features in general, check the docs.
"},{"location":"authorino/docs/user-guides/edge-authentication-architecture-festival-wristbands/#requirements","title":"Requirements","text":" - Kubernetes server with permissions to install cluster-scoped resources (operator, CRDs and RBAC)
- Identity Provider (IdP) that implements OpenID Connect authentication and OpenID Connect Discovery (e.g. Keycloak)
- jq, to extract parts of JSON responses
- jwt, to inspect JWTs (optional)
If you do not own a Kubernetes server already and just want to try out the steps in this guide, you can create a local containerized cluster by executing the command below. In this case, the main requirement is having Kind installed, with either Docker or Podman.
kind create cluster --name authorino-tutorial\n
Deploy the identity provider and authentication server by executing the command below. For the examples in this guide, we are going to use a Keycloak server preloaded with all required realm settings.
kubectl create namespace keycloak\nkubectl -n keycloak apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kuadrant/authorino-examples/main/keycloak/keycloak-deploy.yaml\n
The next steps walk you through installing Authorino and configuring 2 environments of an architecture, edge and internal.
The first environment is a facade for handling the first layer of authentication and exchanging any valid presented authentication token for a Festival Wristband token. In the second, we will deploy a sample service called Talker API that the authorization service will ensure to receive only authenticated traffic presented with a valid Festival Wristband.
Using Kuadrant If you are a user of Kuadrant and already have your workload cluster configured and sample service application deployed, as well as your Gateway API network resources applied to route traffic to your service, skip straight to step \u2779.
At steps \u2779 and \u277a, instead of creating an AuthConfig custom resource, create a Kuadrant AuthPolicy one. The schema of the AuthConfig's spec matches the one of the AuthPolicy's, except spec.host, which is not available in the Kuadrant AuthPolicy. Host names in a Kuadrant AuthPolicy are inferred automatically from the Kubernetes network object referred in spec.targetRef and route selectors declared in the policy.

Authorino capabilities featured in this guide: - External auth metadata \u2192 HTTP GET/GET-by-POST
- Identity verification & authentication \u2192 API key
- Authorization \u2192 Open Policy Agent (OPA) Rego policies
You can configure Authorino to fetch additional metadata from external sources in request-time, by sending either GET or POST request to an HTTP service. The service is expected to return a JSON content which is appended to the Authorization JSON, thus becoming available for usage in other configs of the Auth Pipeline, such as in authorization policies or custom responses.
URL, parameters and headers of the request to the external source of metadata can be configured, including with dynamic values. Authentication between Authorino and the service can be set as part of these configuration options, or based on shared authentication token stored in a Kubernetes Secret.
Check out as well the user guides about Authentication with API keys and Open Policy Agent (OPA) Rego policies.

The next steps walk you through installing Authorino, deploying and configuring a sample service called Talker API to be protected by the authorization service.

In this example, Authorino will accept access tokens (JWTs) issued by the Keycloak server. These JWTs can be either normal Keycloak ID tokens or Requesting Party Tokens (RPT).
RPTs include claims about the permissions of the user regarding protected resources and scopes associated with a Keycloak authorization client that the user can access.
When the supplied access token is an RPT, Authorino will just validate whether the user's granted permissions present in the token include the requested resource ID (translated from the path) and scope (inferred from the HTTP method). If the token does not contain a permissions claim (i.e. it is not an RPT), Authorino will negotiate a User-Managed Access (UMA) ticket on behalf of the user and try to obtain an RPT on that UMA ticket.
In cases of asynchronous user-managed permission control, the first request to the API using a normal Keycloak ID token is denied by Authorino. The user that owns the resource acknowledges the access request in the Keycloak UI. If access is granted, the new permissions will be reflected in subsequent RPTs obtained by Authorino on behalf of the requesting party.
Whenever an RPT with proper permissions is obtained by Authorino, the RPT is supplied back to the API consumer, so it can be used in subsequent requests thus skipping new negotiations of UMA tickets.

If you do not own a Kubernetes server already and just want to try out the steps in this guide, you can create a local containerized cluster by executing the command below. In this case, the main requirement is having Kind installed, with either Docker or Podman.
kind create cluster --name authorino-tutorial\n
The next steps walk you through installing Authorino, deploying and configuring a sample service called Talker API to be protected by the authorization service.
Using Kuadrant If you are a user of Kuadrant and already have your workload cluster configured and sample service application deployed, as well as your Gateway API network resources applied to route traffic to your service, skip straight to step \u277a.
At step \u277a, instead of creating an AuthConfig custom resource, create a Kuadrant AuthPolicy one. The schema of the AuthConfig's spec matches the one of the AuthPolicy's, except spec.host, which is not available in the Kuadrant AuthPolicy. Host names in a Kuadrant AuthPolicy are inferred automatically from the Kubernetes network object referred in spec.targetRef and route selectors declared in the policy.

Authorino capabilities featured in this guide: - Identity verification & authentication \u2192 OAuth 2.0 introspection
- Authorization \u2192 Pattern-matching authorization
Authorino can perform OAuth 2.0 token introspection (RFC 7662) on the access tokens supplied in the requests to protected APIs. This is particularly useful when using opaque tokens, for remote checking the token validity and resolving the identity object.
Important! Authorino does not implement OAuth2 grants nor OIDC authentication flows. As a common recommendation of good practice, obtaining and refreshing access tokens is for clients to negotiate directly with the auth servers and token issuers. Authorino will only validate those tokens using the parameters provided by the trusted issuer authorities.
Check out as well the user guides about OpenID Connect Discovery and authentication with JWTs and Simple pattern-matching authorization policies.
For further details about Authorino features in general, check the docs.
"},{"location":"authorino/docs/user-guides/oauth2-token-introspection/#requirements","title":"Requirements","text":" - Kubernetes server with permissions to install cluster-scoped resources (operator, CRDs and RBAC)
- OAuth 2.0 server that implements the token introspection endpoint (RFC 7662) (e.g. Keycloak or a12n-server)
- jq, to extract parts of JSON responses
If you do not own a Kubernetes server already and just want to try out the steps in this guide, you can create a local containerized cluster by executing the command below. In this case, the main requirement is having Kind installed, with either Docker or Podman.
kind create cluster --name authorino-tutorial\n
Deploy a Keycloak server preloaded with the realm settings required for this guide:
kubectl create namespace keycloak\nkubectl -n keycloak apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kuadrant/authorino-examples/main/keycloak/keycloak-deploy.yaml\n
Deploy an a12n-server server preloaded with all settings required for this guide:
kubectl create namespace a12n-server\nkubectl -n a12n-server apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kuadrant/authorino-examples/main/a12n-server/a12n-server-deploy.yaml\n
The next steps walk you through installing Authorino, deploying and configuring a sample service called Talker API to be protected by the authorization service.
Using Kuadrant If you are a user of Kuadrant and already have your workload cluster configured and sample service application deployed, as well as your Gateway API network resources applied to route traffic to your service, skip straight to step \u277a.
At step \u277a, instead of creating an AuthConfig custom resource, create a Kuadrant AuthPolicy one. The schema of the AuthConfig's spec matches the one of the AuthPolicy's, except spec.host, which is not available in the Kuadrant AuthPolicy. Host names in a Kuadrant AuthPolicy are inferred automatically from the Kubernetes network object referred in spec.targetRef and route selectors declared in the policy.
For more about using Kuadrant to enforce authorization, check out Kuadrant auth.

"},{"location":"authorino/docs/user-guides/observability/#readiness-check","title":"Readiness check","text":"Authorino exposes two main endpoints for health and readiness check of the AuthConfig controller:
/healthz: Health probe (ping) \u2013 reports \"ok\" if the controller is healthy./readyz: Readiness probe \u2013 reports \"ok\" if the controller is ready to reconcile AuthConfig-related events.
In general, the endpoints return either 200 (\"ok\", i.e. all checks have passed) or 500 (when one or more checks failed).
The default binding network address is :8081, which can be changed by setting the command-line flag --health-probe-addr.
The following additional subpath is available and its corresponding check can be aggregated into the response from the main readiness probe: - /readyz/authconfigs: Aggregated readiness status of the AuthConfigs \u2013 reports \"ok\" if all AuthConfigs watched by the reconciler have been marked as ready.
Important!The AuthConfig readiness check within the scope of the aggregated readiness probe endpoint is deactivated by default \u2013 i.e. this check is an opt-in check. Sending a request to the /readyz endpoint without explicitly opting-in for the AuthConfigs check, by using the include parameter, will result in a response message that disregards the actual status of the watched AuthConfigs, possibly an \"ok\" message. To read the aggregated status of the watched AuthConfigs, either use the specific endpoint /readyz/authconfigs or opt-in for the check in the aggregated endpoint by sending a request to /readyz?include=authconfigs Apart from include to add the aggregated status of the AuthConfigs, the following additional query string parameters are available:

"},{"location":"authorino/docs/user-guides/observability/#log-levels-and-log-modes","title":"Log levels and log modes","text":"Authorino outputs 3 levels of log messages: (from lowest to highest level)
debuginfo (default)error
info logging is restricted to high-level information of the gRPC and HTTP authorization services, limiting messages to incoming request and respective outgoing response logs, with reduced details about the corresponding objects (request payload and authorization result), and without any further detailed logs of the steps in between, except for errors.
Only debug logging will include processing details of each Auth Pipeline, such as intermediary requests to validate identities with external auth servers, requests to external sources of auth metadata or authorization policies.
To configure the desired log level, set the spec.logLevel field of the Authorino custom resource (or --log-level command-line flag in the Authorino deployment), to one of the supported values listed above. Default log level is info.
Apart from log level, Authorino can output messages to the logs in 2 different formats:
production (default): each line is a parseable JSON object with properties {\"level\":string, \"ts\":int, \"msg\":string, \"logger\":string, extra values...}development: more human-readable outputs, extra stack traces and logging info, plus extra values output as JSON, in the format: <timestamp-iso-8601>\\t<log-level>\\t<logger>\\t<message>\\t{extra-values-as-json}
To configure the desired log mode, set the spec.logMode field of the Authorino custom resource (or --log-mode command-line flag in the Authorino deployment), to one of the supported values listed above. Default log level is production.
Example of Authorino custom resource with log level debug and log mode production:
apiVersion: operator.authorino.kuadrant.io/v1beta1\nkind: Authorino\nmetadata:\n name: authorino\nspec:\n logLevel: debug\n logMode: production\n listener:\n tls:\n enabled: false\n oidcServer:\n tls:\n enabled: false\n
"},{"location":"authorino/docs/user-guides/observability/#sensitive-data-output-to-the-logs","title":"Sensitive data output to the logs","text":"Authorino will never output HTTP headers and query string parameters to info log messages, as such values usually include sensitive data (e.g. access tokens, API keys and Authorino Festival Wristbands). However, debug log messages may include such sensitive information and those are not redacted.
Therefore, DO NOT USE debug LOG LEVEL IN PRODUCTION! Instead, use either info or error.

Authorino capabilities featured in this guide: - Identity verification & authentication \u2192 JWT verification
Authorino validates JSON Web Tokens (JWT) issued by an OpenID Connect server that implements OpenID Connect Discovery. Authorino fetches the OpenID Connect configuration and JSON Web Key Set (JWKS) from the issuer endpoint, and verifies the JSON Web Signature (JWS) and time validity of the token.
Important! Authorino does not implement OAuth2 grants nor OIDC authentication flows. As a common recommendation of good practice, obtaining and refreshing access tokens is for clients to negotiate directly with the auth servers and token issuers. Authorino will only validate those tokens using the parameters provided by the trusted issuer authorities.
For further details about Authorino features in general, check the docs.
"},{"location":"authorino/docs/user-guides/oidc-jwt-authentication/#requirements","title":"Requirements","text":" - Kubernetes server with permissions to install cluster-scoped resources (operator, CRDs and RBAC)
- Identity Provider (IdP) that implements OpenID Connect authentication and OpenID Connect Discovery (e.g. Keycloak)
- jq, to extract parts of JSON responses
If you do not own a Kubernetes server already and just want to try out the steps in this guide, you can create a local containerized cluster by executing the command below. In this case, the main requirement is having Kind installed, with either Docker or Podman.
kind create cluster --name authorino-tutorial\n
Deploy the identity provider and authentication server by executing the command below. For the examples in this guide, we are going to use a Keycloak server preloaded with all required realm settings.
kubectl create namespace keycloak\nkubectl -n keycloak apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kuadrant/authorino-examples/main/keycloak/keycloak-deploy.yaml\n
The next steps walk you through installing Authorino, deploying and configuring a sample service called Talker API to be protected by the authorization service.
Using Kuadrant If you are a user of Kuadrant and already have your workload cluster configured and sample service application deployed, as well as your Gateway API network resources applied to route traffic to your service, skip straight to step \u277a.
At step \u277a, instead of creating an AuthConfig custom resource, create a Kuadrant AuthPolicy one. The schema of the AuthConfig's spec matches the one of the AuthPolicy's, except spec.host, which is not available in the Kuadrant AuthPolicy. Host names in a Kuadrant AuthPolicy are inferred automatically from the Kubernetes network object referred in spec.targetRef and route selectors declared in the policy.
For more about using Kuadrant to enforce authorization, check out Kuadrant auth.

In this user guide, you will learn via example how to implement a simple Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system to protect endpoints of an API, with roles assigned to users of an Identity Provider (Keycloak) and carried within the access tokens as JSON Web Token (JWT) claims. Users authenticate with the IdP via OAuth2/OIDC flow and get their access tokens verified and validated by Authorino on every request. Moreover, Authorino reads the role bindings of the user and enforces the proper RBAC rules based upon the context.
Authorino capabilities featured in this guide: - Identity verification & authentication \u2192 JWT verification
- Authorization \u2192 Pattern-matching authorization
Check out as well the user guides about OpenID Connect Discovery and authentication with JWTs and Simple pattern-matching authorization policies.
For further details about Authorino features in general, check the docs.

- Identity Provider (IdP) that implements OpenID Connect authentication and OpenID Connect Discovery (e.g. Keycloak)
- jq, to extract parts of JSON responses
If you do not own a Kubernetes server already and just want to try out the steps in this guide, you can create a local containerized cluster by executing the command below. In this case, the main requirement is having Kind installed, with either Docker or Podman.
kind create cluster --name authorino-tutorial\n
Deploy the identity provider and authentication server by executing the command below. For the examples in this guide, we are going to use a Keycloak server preloaded with all required realm settings.
kubectl create namespace keycloak\nkubectl -n keycloak apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kuadrant/authorino-examples/main/keycloak/keycloak-deploy.yaml\n
The next steps walk you through installing Authorino, deploying and configuring a sample service called Talker API to be protected by the authorization service.
Using Kuadrant If you are a user of Kuadrant and already have your workload cluster configured and sample service application deployed, as well as your Gateway API network resources applied to route traffic to your service, skip straight to step \u277a.
At step \u277a, instead of creating an AuthConfig custom resource, create a Kuadrant AuthPolicy one. The schema of the AuthConfig's spec matches the one of the AuthPolicy's, except spec.host, which is not available in the Kuadrant AuthPolicy. Host names in a Kuadrant AuthPolicy are inferred automatically from the Kubernetes network object referred in spec.targetRef and route selectors declared in the policy.

"},{"location":"authorino/docs/user-guides/token-normalization/","title":"User guide: Token normalization","text":"Broadly, the term token normalization in authentication systems usually implies the exchange of an authentication token, as provided by the user in a given format, and/or its associated identity claims, for another freshly issued token/set of claims, of a given (normalized) structure or format.
The most typical use-case for token normalization involves accepting tokens issued by multiple trusted sources and of often varied authentication protocols, while ensuring that the eventual different data structures adopted by each of those sources are normalized, thus allowing to simplify policies and authorization checks that depend on those values. In general, however, any modification to the identity claims can be for the purpose of normalization.
This user guide focuses on the aspect of mutation of the identity claims resolved from an authentication token, to a certain data format and/or by extending them, so that required attributes can thereafter be trusted to be present among the claims, in a desired form. For such, Authorino allows to extend resolved identity objects with custom attributes (custom claims) of either static values or with values fetched from the Authorization JSON.
For not only normalizing the identity claims for purpose of writing simpler authorization checks and policies, but also getting Authorino to issue a new token in a normalized format, check the Festival Wristband tokens feature.
Authorino capabilities featured in this guide: - Identity verification & authentication \u2192 Identity extension
- Identity verification & authentication \u2192 API key
- Identity verification & authentication \u2192 JWT verification
- Authorization \u2192 Pattern-matching authorization

The next steps walk you through installing Authorino, deploying and configuring a sample service called Talker API to be protected by the authorization service.
Using Kuadrant If you are a user of Kuadrant and already have your workload cluster configured and sample service application deployed, as well as your Gateway API network resources applied to route traffic to your service, skip straight to step \u277a.
At step \u277a, instead of creating an AuthConfig custom resource, create a Kuadrant AuthPolicy one. The schema of the AuthConfig's spec matches the one of the AuthPolicy's, except spec.host, which is not available in the Kuadrant AuthPolicy. Host names in a Kuadrant AuthPolicy are inferred automatically from the Kubernetes network object referred in spec.targetRef and route selectors declared in the policy.

This example implements a policy that only users bound to the admin role can send DELETE requests.
The config trusts access tokens issued by a Keycloak realm as well as API keys labeled specifically to a selected group (friends). The roles of the identities handled by Keycloak are managed in Keycloak, as realm roles. Particularly, users john and peter are bound to the member role, while user jane is bound to roles member and admin. As for the users authenticating with API key, they are all bound to the admin role.
Without normalizing identity claims from these two different sources, the policy would have to handle the differences of data formats with additional ifs-and-elses. Instead, the config here uses the identity.extendedProperties option to ensure a custom roles (Array) claim is always present in the identity object. In the case of Keycloak ID tokens, the value is extracted from the realm_access.roles claim; for API key-resolved objects, the custom claim is set to the static value [\"admin\"].

Limitador will try to match each incoming descriptor with the same namespaced counter's conditions and variables. The namespace for the descriptors is defined by the domain field whereas for the rate limit configuration the namespace field is being used. For each matching counter, the counter is increased and the limits checked.
One example to illustrate:
Let's say we have 1 rate limit configuration (one counter per config):
conditions: [\"KEY_A == 'VALUE_A'\"]\nmax_value: 1\nseconds: 60\nvariables: []\nnamespace: example.org\n
Limitador receives one descriptor with two entries:
domain: example.org\ndescriptors:\n - entries:\n - KEY_A: VALUE_A\n - OTHER_KEY: OTHER_VALUE\n
The counter's condition will match. Then, the counter will be increased and the limit checked. If the limit is exceeded, the request will be rejected with 429 Too Many Requests, otherwise accepted.
Note that the counter is being activated even though it does not match all the entries of the descriptor. The same rule applies for the variables field.
Currently, the implementation of condition only allow for equal (==) and not equal (!=) operators. More operators will be implemented based off the use cases for them.
The variables field is a list of keys. The matching rule is defined just as the existence of the list of descriptor entries with the same key values. If variables is variables: [A, B, C], one descriptor matches if it has at least three entries with the same A, B, C keys.
Few examples to illustrate.
Having the following descriptors:
domain: example.org\ndescriptors:\n - entries:\n - KEY_A: VALUE_A\n - OTHER_KEY: OTHER_VALUE\n
the following counters would not be activated.
conditions: [\"KEY_B == 'VALUE_B'\"]\nmax_value: 1\nseconds: 60\nvariables: []\nnamespace: example.org\n
Reason: conditions key does not exist conditions:\n - \"KEY_A == 'VALUE_A'\"\n - \"OTHER_KEY == 'WRONG_VALUE'\"\nmax_value: 1\nseconds: 60\nvariables: []\nnamespace: example.org\n
Reason: not all the conditions match conditions: []\nmax_value: 1\nseconds: 60\nvariables: [\"MY_VAR\"]\nnamespace: example.org\n
Reason: the variable name does not exist conditions: [\"KEY_B == 'VALUE_B'\"]\nmax_value: 1\nseconds: 60\nvariables: [\"MY_VAR\"]\nnamespace: example.org\n
Reason: Both variables and conditions must match.

"},{"location":"limitador/doc/topologies/#considerations","title":"Considerations","text":"With an active-active deployment, the data needs to be replicated between instances. An update in an instance takes a short time to be reflected in the other. That time lag depends mainly on the network speed between the Redis instances, and it affects the accuracy of the rate-limiting performed by Limitador because it can go over limits while the updates of the counters are being replicated.
The impact of that greatly depends on the use case. With limits of a few seconds, and a low number of hits, we could easily go over limits. On the other hand, if we have defined limits with a high number of hits and a long period, the effect will be basically negligible. For example, if we define a limit of one hour, and we know that the data takes around one second to be replicated, the accuracy loss is going to be negligible.

The idea is to improve throughput and latencies by caching the counters in memory to reduce the number of accesses to Redis. To achieve that, this mode sacrifices some rate-limit accuracy. This mode does two things:
- Batches counter updates. Instead of updating the counters on every request, it updates them in memory and commits them to Redis in batches. The flushing interval can be configured with the
REDIS_LOCAL_CACHE_FLUSHING_PERIOD_MS env. The trade-off is that when running several instances of Limitador, other instances will not become aware of the counter updates until they're committed to Redis. - Caches counters. Instead of fetching the value of a counter every time it's needed, the value is cached for a configurable period. The trade-off is that when running several instances of Limitador, an instance will not become aware of the counter updates other instances do while the value is cached. When a counter is already at 0 (limit exceeded), it's cached until it expires in Redis. In this case, no matter what other instances do, we know that the quota will not be reestablished until the key expires in Redis, so in this case, rate-limit accuracy is not affected. When a counter has still some quota remaining the situation is different, that's why we can tune for how long it will be cached. The formula is as follows: MIN(ttl_in_redis/
REDIS_LOCAL_CACHE_TTL_RATIO_CACHED_COUNTERS, REDIS_LOCAL_CACHE_MAX_TTL_CACHED_COUNTERS_MS). For example, let's image that the current TTL (time remaining until the limit resets) in Redis for a counter is 10 seconds, and we set the ratio to 2, and the max time for 30s. In this case, the counter will be cached for 5s (min(10/2, 30)). During those 5s, Limitador will not fetch the value of that counter from Redis, so it will answer faster, but it will also miss the updates done by other instances, so it can go over the limits in that 5s interval.

The OpenAPI spec of the HTTP service is here.
Limitador has to be started with a YAML file that has some limits defined. There's an example file that allows 10 requests per minute and per user_id when the HTTP method is \"GET\" and 5 when it is a \"POST\". You can run it with Docker (replace latest with the version you want):
docker run --rm --net=host -it -v $(pwd)/examples/limits.yaml:/home/limitador/my_limits.yaml:ro quay.io/kuadrant/limitador:latest limitador-server /home/limitador/my_limits.yaml\n
You can also use the YAML file when running locally:
cargo run --release --bin limitador-server ./examples/limits.yaml\n
If you want to use Limitador with Envoy, there's a minimal Envoy config for testing purposes here. The config forwards the \"userid\" header and the request method to Limitador. It assumes that there's an upstream API deployed on port 1323. You can use echo, for example.
Limitador has several options that can be configured via ENV. This doc specifies them.

There are mainly two recommended way of using limitador in kubernetes:
- There is an ingress based on envoyproxy that contacts with limitador ratelimit service before forwarding (or not) the request to the application
- There is an envoyproxy sidecar container living in the application pod that contacts with limitador ratelimit service before forwarding (or not) the request to the main application container in the same pod
In this example it will be described the second scenario (where there is an application with an envoyproxy sidecar container contacting to limitador service).
NOTE If you don't want to manually manage the sidecar container definitions on your deployments (harcoding the container spec, loading the envoy configuration from a configmap that requires a pod restart to reload possibles configuration changes...), you can use marin3r, a light weight envoy control plane that allows you to inject envoyproxy sidecar containers and dynamically consume configs from Kubernetes custom resources.

This service has an annotation to enable proxy protocol on the AWS Load balancer in order to be able to keep the real client IP at envoy level (instead of the k8s node private IP), so it can be used to ratelimit per each real client IP if desired.
-
Ratelimit application (a deployment called limitador):
- Limitador Configmap with limits definition (1000 rps per hostname).
-
Limitador headless service published on limitador:8081. It is important to use a headless service in order to balance correctly the traffic between limitador pods, otherwise GRPC connections are not well balanced.
-
Redis database to persist ratelimit configuration:
- Redis service
- Redis statefulset with a persistent volume

hey tool benchmarks from the cluster, so we ensure network latency does not affect the results. Actually, to achieve better results, this pod should be on another cluster (to not share the network between client and network) and be placed on the same Region (to reduce latency). The client could be a bottle neck for the performance test. - This centos is going to public AWS ELB to access the app, so simulating it is a normal client from the same Region
- Prometheus monitoring and grafana dashboard resources
"},{"location":"limitador/limitador-server/kubernetes/#k8s-deployment","title":"K8s deployment","text":" -
Deploy the redis instance that will keep the limits for different limitador pods:
kubectl apply -f redis-service.yaml\nkubectl apply -f redis-statefulset.yaml\n
-
Deploy limitador application. It is important to create the configmap with limitador limits before the deployment, in order to load it from limitador pods. At the moment, if you update the limits configmap you need to restart the pods. Additionally, limitador has an API in order to load limits dynamically, but for simplicity for this test a configmap has been used:
kubectl apply -f limitador-config-configmap.yaml\nkubectl apply -f limitador-service.yaml\nkubectl apply -f limitador-deployment.yaml\n
-
Deploy sample kuard application with the envoyproxy sidecar container (if you do any change on the envoy configmap, remember you need to restart app pods in order to reload the config):
kubectl apply -f kuard-envoy-config-configmap.yaml\nkubectl apply -f kuard-service.yaml\nkubectl apply -f kuard-deployment.yaml\n
-
At this point you shoud see all pods running, and kuard pods should have 2 containers (the main kuard container, and the envoyproxy sidecar container):
\u25b6 kubectl get pods\nNAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE\nkuard-f859bb896-gmzxn 2/2 Running 0 7m\nkuard-f859bb896-z95w8 2/2 Running 0 7m\nlimitador-68d494f54c-qv996 1/1 Running 0 8m\nlimitador-68d494f54c-zzmhn 1/1 Running 0 8m\nredis-0 1/1 Running 0 9m\n
-
Now you should be able to access to kuard application using the load balancer DNS name:
\u25b6 kubectl get service kuard\nNAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE\nkuard LoadBalancer 172.30.117.198 a96d5449fbc3f4cd892e15e5b36cde48-457963259.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com 80:31450/TCP 4m\n
-
If you go to the browser and paste the EXTERNAL-IP, your request will follow the next workflow:
- The requests will go from your local machine through internet to the public AWS ELB where the app is published
- Then it will go to the
NodePort of your k8s cluster nodes - Once on a k8s node, it will go to kuard
Service Virtual IP, and will arrive to an envoyproxy sidecar container inside kuard pod - Envoyproxy sidecar container will contact with limitador headless
Service, to authorize the requests or not: - If the request is authorized (within the configured limits), it will send the request to the app container (
0.0.0.0:8080) in the same pod, and request will end up with a HTTP 200 response - If the request is limited (beyond the limits), request will end up with
HTTP 429 response

- It should let pass 60 * 1.000 = 60.0000 requests, and limit 60 * 200 = 12.000 requests per minute
- Each limitador pod should handle half of the traffic (500 rps OK, and 200 rps limited)

We can see that:
- Client could send 1192.2171rps (about 1200rps)
- 60046 requests (about 60000) were OK (HTTP 200)
- 11932 requests (about 12000) were limited (HTTP 429)
- Average latency (since the request goes out from the client to AWS ELB, k8s node, envoyproxy container, limitador+redis, kuar app container) is 10ms
-
In addition, if we do a longer test with 5 minutes traffic for example, you can check with the grafana dashboard how these requests are processed by envoyproxy sidecar container of kuard pods and limitador pods:
- Kuard Envoyproxy Sidecar Metrics:
- Globally it handles around 1200rps: it permits around 1krps and limits around 200rps
- Each envoyproxy sidecar of each kuard pod handles around half of the traffic: it permits around 500rps and limits around 100rps. The balance between pods is not 100% perfect, caused by random iptables forwarding when using a k8s service
- Limitador Metrics:
- Globally it handles around 1200rps: it permits around 1krps and limits around 200rps
- Each limitador pod handles around half of the traffic: it permits around 500rps and limits around 100rps. The balance between pods is perfect thanks to using a headless service with GRPC connections

NOTE The quick start script will create a placement resource as part of the setup. You can use this as further inspiration for other placement resources you would like to create.
"},{"location":"multicluster-gateway-controller/docs/gateways/define-and-place-a-gateway/#defining-a-gateway","title":"Defining a Gateway","text":"Once you have the Kuadrant multi-cluster gateway controller installed into the OCM hub cluster, you can begin defining and placing Gateways across your OCM managed infrastructure.
To define a Gateway and have it managed by the multi-cluster gateway controller, we need to do the following things
- Create a Gateway API Gateway resource in the Hub cluster, ensuring the gateway resource specifies the correct gateway class allowing it to be picked up and managed by the multi-cluster gateway controller
kubectl --context kind-mgc-control-plane apply -f - <<EOF\napiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1\nkind: Gateway\nmetadata:\n name: prod-web\n namespace: multi-cluster-gateways\nspec:\n gatewayClassName: kuadrant-multi-cluster-gateway-instance-per-cluster\n listeners:\n - allowedRoutes:\n namespaces:\n from: All\n name: api\n hostname: $MGC_SUB_DOMAIN\n port: 443\n protocol: HTTP\nEOF\n
"},{"location":"multicluster-gateway-controller/docs/gateways/define-and-place-a-gateway/#placing-a-gateway","title":"Placing a Gateway","text":"To place a gateway, we will need to create a Placement resource.

For more information on ManagedClusterSets and placements please see the OCM official docs: -
ManagedClusterSets
-
Placements
Finally in order to have the Gateway instances deployed to your spoke clusters that can start receiving traffic, you need to place the gateway.
-
To place the gateway, we need to add a placement label to gateway resource to instruct the gateway controller where we want this gateway instantiated.
kubectl --context kind-mgc-control-plane label gateway prod-web \"cluster.open-cluster-management.io/placement\"=\"http-gateway-placement\" -n multi-cluster-gateways\n
-
To have the gateway deployed to 2 clusters, you can add a second cluster to the clusterset by running the following:
kubectl --context kind-mgc-control-plane label managedcluster kind-mgc-workload-1 ingress-cluster=true\n
As the placement specifies numberOfClusters as 2 your gateway will automatically be instantiated on the second cluster.
-
To find a configured gateway and instantiated gateway on the hub cluster. Run the following
kubectl --context kind-mgc-control-plane get gateway -A\n
You'll see the following:
kuadrant-multi-cluster-gateways prod-web istio 172.31.200.0 29s\nmulti-cluster-gateways prod-web kuadrant-multi-cluster-gateway-instance-per-cluster True 2m42s\n
3. Execute the following to see the gateway on the workload-1 cluster: kubectl --context kind-mgc-workload-1 get gateways -A\n
You'll see the following NAMESPACE NAME CLASS ADDRESS PROGRAMMED AGE\nkuadrant-multi-cluster-gateways prod-web istio 172.31.201.0 90s\n
While we recommend using Istio as the gateway provider as that is how you will get access to the full suite of policy APIs, it is possible to use another provider if you choose to however this will result in a reduced set of applicable policy objects.
If you are only using the DNSPolicy and TLSPolicy resources, you can use these APIs with any Gateway provider. To change the underlying provider, you need to set the gatewayclass param downstreamClass.
-
Create the following configmap. Note: In this example, 'eg' stands for the Envoy gateway, which is mentioned in the prerequisites above:
kubectl --context kind-mgc-control-plane apply -f - <<EOF\napiVersion: v1\ndata:\n params: |\n {\n \"downstreamClass\": \"eg\"\n }\nkind: ConfigMap\nmetadata:\n name: gateway-params\n namespace: multi-cluster-gateways\nEOF\n
2. Update the gatewayclass to include the above Configmap kubectl --context kind-mgc-control-plane patch gatewayclass kuadrant-multi-cluster-gateway-instance-per-cluster -n multi-cluster-gateways --type merge --patch '{\"spec\":{\"parametersRef\":{\"group\":\"\",\"kind\":\"ConfigMap\",\"name\":\"gateway-params\",\"namespace\":\"multi-cluster-gateways\"}}}'\n
Once this has been created, any gateways created from that gateway class will result in a downstream gateway being provisioned with the configured downstreamClass. Run the following in both your hub and spoke cluster to see the gateways:
kubectl --context kind-mgc-control-plane get gateway -A\n
kubectl --context kind-mgc-workload-1 get gateway -A\n

DNS Record deletion:
Gateways and DNS records have a 1:1 relationship only, when a gateway gets deleted the corresponding DNS record also gets marked for deletion. This then triggers the DNS record to be removed from the managed zone in the DNS provider (currently only route 53 is accepted). 3. Certs and secrets deletion :
When a gateway is created a cert is also created for the host in the gateway, this is also removed when the gateway is deleted.

So now we have workload ingress clusters configured with the same Gateway.

kubectl --context kind-mgc-workload-1 apply -f - <<EOF\napiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1\nkind: HTTPRoute\nmetadata:\n name: my-route\nspec:\n parentRefs:\n - kind: Gateway\n name: prod-web\n namespace: kuadrant-multi-cluster-gateways\n hostnames:\n - \"echo.$KUADRANT_ZONE_ROOT_DOMAIN\"\n rules:\n - backendRefs:\n - name: echo\n port: 8080\n---\napiVersion: v1\nkind: Service\nmetadata:\n name: echo\nspec:\n ports:\n - name: http-port\n port: 8080\n targetPort: http-port\n protocol: TCP\n selector:\n app: echo \n---\napiVersion: apps/v1\nkind: Deployment\nmetadata:\n name: echo\nspec:\n replicas: 1\n selector:\n matchLabels:\n app: echo\n template:\n metadata:\n labels:\n app: echo\n spec:\n containers:\n - name: echo\n image: docker.io/jmalloc/echo-server\n ports:\n - name: http-port\n containerPort: 8080\n protocol: TCP \nEOF\n

Let's create the same HTTPRoute in the second workload cluster. Note the --context references the second cluster
kubectl --context kind-mgc-workload-2 apply -f - <<EOF\napiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1\nkind: HTTPRoute\nmetadata:\n name: my-route\nspec:\n parentRefs:\n - kind: Gateway\n name: prod-web\n namespace: kuadrant-multi-cluster-gateways\n hostnames:\n - \"echo.$KUADRANT_ZONE_ROOT_DOMAIN\"\n rules:\n - backendRefs:\n - name: echo\n port: 8080\n---\napiVersion: v1\nkind: Service\nmetadata:\n name: echo\nspec:\n ports:\n - name: http-port\n port: 8080\n targetPort: http-port\n protocol: TCP\n selector:\n app: echo \n---\napiVersion: apps/v1\nkind: Deployment\nmetadata:\n name: echo\nspec:\n replicas: 1\n selector:\n matchLabels:\n app: echo\n template:\n metadata:\n labels:\n app: echo\n spec:\n containers:\n - name: echo\n image: docker.io/jmalloc/echo-server\n ports:\n - name: http-port\n containerPort: 8080\n protocol: TCP \nEOF\n

If we take a look at the dnsrecord, you will see we now have two A records configured:
kubectl --context kind-mgc-control-plane get dnsrecord -n multi-cluster-gateways -o=yaml\n
-
Give DNS a minute or two to update. You should then be able to execute the following and get back the correct A record.
dig echo.$KUADRANT_ZONE_ROOT_DOMAIN\n
9. You should also be able to curl that endpoint curl -k https://echo.$KUADRANT_ZONE_ROOT_DOMAIN\n\n# Request served by echo-XXX-XXX\n

In order for it to do this, it must know about dns providers, and what domains these dns providers are currently hosting. This is done through the creation of ManagedZones and dns provider secrets containing the credentials for the dns provider account.
If for example a Gateway is created with a listener with a hostname of echo.apps.hcpapps.net:
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1\nkind: Gateway\nmetadata:\n name: prod-web\n namespace: multi-cluster-gateways\nspec:\n gatewayClassName: kuadrant-multi-cluster-gateway-instance-per-cluster\n listeners:\n - allowedRoutes:\n namespaces:\n from: All\n name: api\n hostname: echo.apps.hcpapps.net\n port: 80\n protocol: HTTP\n
In order for the DNSPolicy to act upon that listener, a ManagedZone must exist for that hostnames domain.
A secret containing the provider credentials must first be created:
kubectl create secret generic my-aws-credentials --type=kuadrant.io/aws --from-env-file=./aws-credentials.env -n multi-cluster-gateways\nkubectl get secrets my-aws-credentials -n multi-cluster-gateways -o yaml\napiVersion: v1\ndata:\n AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: <AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID>\n AWS_REGION: <AWS_REGION>\n AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: <AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>\nkind: Secret\nmetadata:\n name: my-aws-credentials\n namespace: multi-cluster-gateways\ntype: kuadrant.io/aws\n
And then a ManagedZone can be added for the desired domain referencing the provider credentials:

Use Cases
As a gateway admin, I want to be able to reduce latency for my users by routing traffic based on the GEO location of the client. I want this strategy to automatically expand and adjust as my gateway topology grows and changes.
As a gateway admin, I have a discount with a particular cloud provider and want to send more of my traffic to the gateways hosted in that providers infrastructure and as I add more gateways I want that balance to remain constant and evolve to include my new gateways.

The DNSPolicy also covers health checks that inform the DNS response but that is not covered in this document.
Below is a draft API for what we anticipate the DNSPolicy to look like
apiVersion: kuadrant.io/v1alpha1\nkind: DNSPolicy\nspec:\n targetRef: # defaults to gateway gvk and current namespace\n name: gateway-name\n health:\n ...\n loadBalancing:\n weighted:\n defaultWeight: 10\n custom: #optional\n - value: AWS #optional with both GEO and weighted.

Chooses a default DNS response when no particular response is defined for a request from an unknown GEO.\n
"},{"location":"multicluster-gateway-controller/docs/proposals/DNSPolicy/#available-load-balancing-strategies","title":"Available Load Balancing Strategies","text":"GEO and Weighted load balancing are well understood strategies and this API effectively allow a complex requirement to be expressed relatively simply and executed by the gateway controller in the chosen DNS provider. Our default policy will execute a \"Round Robin\" weighted strategy which reflects the current default behaviour.
With the above API we can provide weighted and GEO and weighted within a GEO. A weighted strategy with a minimum of a default weight is always required and the simplest type of policy. The multi-cluster gateway controller will set up a default policy when a gateway is discovered (shown below). This policy can be replaced or modified by the user. A weighted strategy can be complimented with a GEO strategy IE they can be used together in order to provide a GEO and weighted (within a GEO) load balancing. By defining a GEO section, you are indicating that you want to use a GEO based strategy (how this works is covered below).
apiVersion: kuadrant.io/v1alpha1\nkind: DNSPolicy\nname: default-policy\nspec:\n targetRef: # defaults to gateway gvk and current namespace\n name: gateway-name\n loadBalancing:\n weighted: # required\n defaultWeight: 10 #required, all records created get this weight\n health:\n ... \n
In order to provide GEO based DNS and allow customisation of the weighting, we need some additional information to be provided by the gateway / cluster admin about where this gateway has been placed. For example if they want to use GEO based DNS as a strategy, we need to know what GEO identifier(s) to use for each record we create and a default GEO to use as a catch-all. Also, if the desired load balancing approach is to provide custom weighting and no longer simply use Round Robin, we will need a way to identify which records to apply that custom weighting to based on the clusters the gateway is placed on.
To solve this we will allow two new attributes to be added to the ManagedCluster resource as labels:
kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-geo-code: \"IE\"\n kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-custom-weight: \"GCP\"\n
These two labels allow setting values in the DNSPolicy that will be reflected into DNS records for gateways placed on that cluster depending on the strategies used. (see the first DNSPolicy definition above to see how these values are used) or take a look at the examples at the bottom.
example :
apiVersion: cluster.open-cluster-management.io/v1\nkind: ManagedCluster\nmetadata:\n labels:\n kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-geo-code: \"IE\"\n kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-custom-weight: \"GCP\"\nspec: \n
The attributes provide the key and value we need in order to understand how to define records for a given LB address based on the DNSPolicy targeting the gateway.
The kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-geo-code attribute value is provider specific, using an invalid code will result in an error status condition in the DNSrecord resource.
"},{"location":"multicluster-gateway-controller/docs/proposals/DNSPolicy/#dns-record-structure","title":"DNS Record Structure","text":"This is an advanced topic and so is broken out into its own proposal doc DNS Record Structure
"},{"location":"multicluster-gateway-controller/docs/proposals/DNSPolicy/#custom-weighting","title":"Custom Weighting","text":"Custom weighting will use the associated custom-weight attribute set on the ManagedCluster to decide which records should get a specific weight. The value of this attribute is up to the end user.
example:
apiVersion: cluster.open-cluster-management.io/v1\nkind: ManagedCluster\nmetadata:\n labels:\n kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-custom-weight: \"GCP\"\n
The above is then used in the DNSPolicy to set custom weights for the records associated with the target gateway.
- value: GCP\n weight: 20\n
So any gateway targeted by a DNSPolicy with the above definition that is placed on a ManagedCluster with the kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-custom-weight set with a value of GCP will get an A record with a weight of 20

none apex domain:
We will have a generated lb (load balancer) dns name that we will use as a CNAME for the listener hostname. This DNS name is not intended for use within a HTTPRoute but is instead just a DNS construct. This will allow us to set up additional CNAME records for that DNS name in the future that are returned based a GEO location. These DNS records will also be CNAMES pointing to specific gateway dns names, this will allow us to setup a weighted response. So the first layer CNAME handles balancing based on geo, the second layer handles balancing based on weighting.
shop.example.com\n | |\n (IE) (AUS)\n CNAME lb.shop.. lb.shop..\n | | | |\n (w 100) (w 200) (w 100) (w100)\n CNAME g1.lb.. g2.lb.. g3.lb.. g4.lb..\n A 192.. A 81.. CNAME aws.lb A 82..\n
When there is no geo strategy defined within the DNSPolicy, we will put everything into a default geo (IE a catch-all record) default.lb-{guid}.{listenerHost} but set the routing policy to GEO allowing us to add more geo based records in the future if the gateway admin decides to move to a geo strategy as their needs grow.
To ensure this lb dns name is unique and does not clash we will use a short guid as part of the subdomain so lb-{guid}.{listenerHost}. this guid will be based on the gateway name and gateway namespace in the control plane.
For a geo strategy we will add a geo record with a prefix to the lb subdomain based on the geo code. When there is no geo we will use default as the prefix. {geo-code}.lb-{guid}.{listenerHost}. Finally, for each gateway instance on a target cluster we will add a {spokeClusterName}.lb-{guid}.{listenerHost}
To allow for a mix of hostname and IP address types, we will always use a CNAME . So we will create a dns name for IPAddress with the following structure: {guid}.lb-{guid}.{listenerHost} where the first guid will be based on the cluster name where the gateway is placed.
"},{"location":"multicluster-gateway-controller/docs/proposals/DNSRecordStructure/#apex-domains","title":"Apex Domains","text":"An apex domain is the domain at the apex or root of a zone. These are handled differently by DNS as they often have NS and SOA records. Generally it is not possible to set up a CNAME for apex domain (although some providers allow it).
If a listener is added to a gateway that is an apex domain, we can only add A records for that domain to keep ourselves compliant with as many providers as possible. If a listener is the apex domain, we will setup A records for that domain (favouring gateways with an IP address or resolving the IP behind a host) but there will be no special balancing/weighting done. Instead, we will expect that the owner of that will setup a HTTPRoute with a 301 permanent redirect sending users from the apex domain e.g. example.com to something like: www.example.com where the www subdomain based listener would use the rules of the none apex domains and be where advanced geo and weighted strategies are applied.

This can be thought of in a similar way to a cert manager Issuer. Update ManagedZone to add a reference to a DNSProvider. This will be a required field on the ManagedZone and a DNSProvider must exist before a ManagedZone can be created. Update all controllers load the DNSProvider directly from the ManagedZone during reconciliation loops and remove the single controller wide instance.

The ProbeWorker is responsible for actually executing the probe, and updating the DNSHealthCheckProbe CR status. The probeWorker executes on its own goroutine.

They are defined as an array of Condition objects within the status section of a resource's YAML definition.
"},{"location":"multicluster-gateway-controller/docs/proposals/status-aggregation/#problem-statement","title":"Problem Statement","text":"When multiple instances of a resource (e.g. a Gateway) are running across multiple clusters, it can be difficult to know the current state of each instance without checking each one individually. This can be time-consuming and error-prone, especially when there are a large number of clusters or resources.
"},{"location":"multicluster-gateway-controller/docs/proposals/status-aggregation/#proposal","title":"Proposal","text":"To solve this problem, I'm proposing we leverage the status block in the control plane instance of that resource, aggregating the statuses to convey the necessary information.
"},{"location":"multicluster-gateway-controller/docs/proposals/status-aggregation/#status-conditions","title":"Status Conditions","text":"For example, if the Ready status condition type of a Gateway is True for all instances of the Gateway resource across all clusters, then the Gateway in the control plane will have the Ready status condition type also set to True.
status:\n conditions:\n - type: Ready\n status: True\n message: All listeners are valid\n
If the Ready status condition type of some instances is not True, the Ready status condition type of the Gateway in the control plane will be False.
status:\n conditions:\n - type: Ready\n status: False\n
In addition, if the Ready status condition type is False, the Gateway in the control plane should include a status message for each Gateway instance where Ready is False. This message would indicate the reason why the condition is not true for each Gateway.
status:\n conditions:\n - type: Ready\n status: False\n message: \"gateway-1 Listener certificate is expired; gateway-3 No listener configured for port 80\"\n
In this example, the Ready status condition type is False because two of the three Gateway instances (gateway-1 and gateway-3) have issues with their listeners. For gateway-1, the reason for the False condition is that the listener certificate is expired, and for gateway-3, the reason is that no listener is configured for port 80. These reasons are included as status messages in the Gateway resource in the control plane.
As there may be different reasons for the condition being False across different clusters, it doesn't make sense to aggregate the reason field. The reason field is intended to be a programmatic identifier, while the message field allows for a human readable message i.e. a semi-colon separated list of messages.
The lastTransitionTime and observedGeneration fields will behave as normal for the resource in the control plane.
"},{"location":"multicluster-gateway-controller/docs/proposals/status-aggregation/#addresses-and-listeners-status","title":"Addresses and Listeners status","text":"The Gateway status can include information about addresses, like load balancer IP Addresses assigned to the Gateway, and listeners, such as the number of attached routes for each listener. This information is useful at the control plane level. For example, a DNS Record should only exist as long as there is at least 1 attached route for a listener. It can also be more complicated than that when it comes to multi cluster gateways. A DNS Record should only include the IP Addresses of the Gateway instances where the listener has at least 1 attached route. This is important when initial setup of DNS Records happen as applications start. It doesn't make sense to route traffic to a Gateway where a listener isn't ready/attached yet. It also comes into play when a Gateway is displaced either due to changing placement decision or removal.
In summary, the IP Addresses and number of attached routes per listener per Gateway instance is needed in the control plane to manage DNS effectively. This proposal adds that information the hub Gateway status block. This will ensure a decoupling of the DNS logic from the underlying resource/status syncing implementation (i.e. ManifestWork status feedback rules)
First, here are 2 instances of a multi cluster Gateway in 2 separate spoke clusters. The yaml is shortened to highlight the status block.
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1\nkind: Gateway\nmetadata:\n name: gateway\nstatus:\n addresses:\n - type: IPAddress\n value: 172.31.200.0\n - type: IPAddress\n value: 172.31.201.0\n listeners:\n - attachedRoutes: 0\n conditions:\n name: api\n - attachedRoutes: 1\n conditions:\n name: web\n---\napiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1\nkind: Gateway\nmetadata:\n name: gateway\nstatus:\n addresses:\n - type: IPAddress\n value: 172.31.202.0\n - type: IPAddress\n value: 172.31.203.0\n listeners:\n - attachedRoutes: 1\n name: api\n - attachedRoutes: 1\n name: web\n
And here is the proposed status aggregation in the hub Gateway:
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1\nkind: Gateway\nmetadata:\n name: gateway\nstatus:\n addresses:\n - type: kuadrant.io/MultiClusterIPAddress\n value: cluster_1/172.31.200.0\n - type: kuadrant.io/MultiClusterIPAddress\n value: cluster_1/172.31.201.0\n - type: kuadrant.io/MultiClusterIPAddress\n value: cluster_2/172.31.202.0\n - type: kuadrant.io/MultiClusterIPAddress\n value: cluster_2/172.31.203.0\n listeners:\n - attachedRoutes: 0\n name: cluster_1.api\n - attachedRoutes: 1\n name: cluster_1.web\n - attachedRoutes: 1\n name: cluster_2.api\n - attachedRoutes: 1\n name: cluster_2.web\n
The MultiCluster Gateway Controller will use a custom implementation of the addresses and listenerers fields. The address type is of type AddressType, where the type is a domain-prefixed string identifier. The value can be split on the forward slash, /, to give the cluster name and the underlying Gateway IPAddress value of type IPAddress. Both the IPAddress and Hostname types will be supported. The type strings for either will be kuadrant.io/MultiClusterIPAddress and kuadrant.io/MultiClusterHostname
The listener name is of type SectionName, with validation on allowed characters and max length of 253. The name can be split on the period, ., to give the cluster name and the underlying listener name. As there are limits on the character length for the name field, this puts a lower limit restriction on the cluster names and listener names used to ensure proper operation of this status aggregation. If the validation fails, a status condition showing a validation error should be included in the hub Gateway status block.

Azure supports Weighted and Geolocation routing policies, but requires records to alias to a Traffic Manager resource that must also be created in the users account https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/traffic-manager/traffic-manager-routing-methods
Notes:
- A Traffic Manager Profile is created per record set and is created with a routing method (Weighted or Geographic) https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Network/LoadBalancingHubMenuBlade/~/TrafficManagers
- Only a singe IP can be added to a DNSRecord set. A traffic manager profile must be created and aliased from a DNSRecord set for anything that involves more than a single target.
- Significantly more resources to manage in order to achieve functionality comparable with Google and AWS.
- The modelling of the records is significantly different from AWS Route53, but the current DNSRecord spec could still work. The azure implementation will have to process the endpoint list and create traffic manager policies as required to satisfy the record set.
Given the example DNSRecord here describing a record set for a geo location routing policy with four clusters, two in two regions (North America and Europe), the following Azure resources are required.
Three DNSRecords, each aliased to a different traffic manager:
- dnsrecord-geo-azure-hcpapps-net (dnsrecord-geo.azure.hcpapps.net) aliased to Traffic Manager Profile 1 (dnsrecord-geo-azure-hcpapps-net)
- dnsrecord-geo-na.azure-hcpapps-net (dnsrecord-geo.na.azure.hcpapps.net) aliased to Traffic Manager Profile 2 (dnsrecord-geo-na-azure-hcpapps-net)
- dnsrecord-geo-eu.azure-hcpapps-net (dnsrecord-geo.eu.azure.hcpapps.net) aliased to Traffic Manager Profile 3 (dnsrecord-geo-eu-azure-hcpapps-net)
Three Traffic Manager Profiles:
- Traffic Manager Profile 1 (dnsrecord-geo-azure-hcpapps-net): Geolocation routing policy with two region specific FQDN targets (dnsrecord-geo.eu.azure.hcpapps.net and dnsrecord-geo.na.azure.hcpapps.net).
- Traffic Manager Profile 2 (dnsrecord-geo-na-azure-hcpapps-net): Weighted routed policy with two IP address endpoints (172.31.0.1 and 172.31.0.2) with equal weighting.
- Traffic Manager Profile 3 (dnsrecord-geo-eu-azure-hcpapps-net): Weighted routed policy with two IP address endpoints (172.31.0.3 and 172.31.0.4) with equal weighting.

Google supports Weighted(Weighted Round Robin) and Geolocation routing policies https://cloud.google.com/dns/docs/zones/manage-routing-policies. Both of these can be configured directly on records in Google Cloud DNS and no secondary Traffic Management resource is required.
Notes:
- Record sets are modelled as a single endpoint with routing policy embedded. This is a different approach to Route53 where each individual A/CNAME would have its own record entry.
- Weight must be an integer between 0 - 10000
- There are no continent options for region, only finer grained regions such as us-east1, europe-west-1 etc...
- There appears to be no way to set a default region, google just routes requests to the nearest supported region.
- The current approach used in AWS Route53 for geo routing will work in the same way on Google DNS. A single CNAME record with geo routing policy specifying multiple geo specific A record entries as targets.
- Geo and weighted routing can be combined, as with AWS Route53, allowing traffic with a region to be routed using weightings.
- The modelling of the records is slightly different from AWS, but the current DNSRecord spec could still work. The Google implementation of AddRecords will have to process the list of endpoints in order to group related endpoints in order to build up the required API request. In this case there would not be a 1:1 mapping between an endpoint in a DNSRecord and the dns provider, but the DNSRecord contents would be kept consistent across all providers and compatibility with external-dns would be maintained.
Example request for Geo CNAME record:
POST https://dns.googleapis.com/dns/v1beta2/projects/it-cloud-gcp-rd-midd-san/managedZones/google-hcpapps-net/rrsets
{\n \"name\": \"dnsrecord-geo.google.hcpapps.net.\",\n \"routingPolicy\": {\n \"geo\": {\n \"item\": [\n {\n \"location\": \"us-east1\",\n \"rrdata\": [\n \"dnsrecord-geo.na.google.hcpapps.net.\"\n ]\n },\n {\n \"location\": \"europe-west1\",\n \"rrdata\": [\n \"dnsrecord-geo.eu.google.hcpapps.net.\"\n ]\n }\n ],\n \"enableFencing\": false\n }\n },\n \"ttl\": 60,\n \"type\": \"CNAME\"\n}\n
Example request for Weighted A record:
POST https://dns.googleapis.com/dns/v1beta2/projects/it-cloud-gcp-rd-midd-san/managedZones/google-hcpapps-net/rrsets
{\n \"name\": \"dnsrecord-geo.na.google.hcpapps.net.\",\n \"routingPolicy\": {\n \"wrr\": {\n \"item\": [\n {\n \"weight\": 60.0,\n \"rrdata\": [\n \"172.31.0.1\"\n ]\n },\n {\n \"weight\": 60.0,\n \"rrdata\": [\n \"172.31.0.2\"\n ]\n }\n ]\n }\n },\n \"ttl\": 60,\n \"type\": \"A\"\n}\n
Given the example DNSRecord here describing a record set for a geo location routing policy with four clusters, two in two regions (North America and Europe), the following resources are required.

This controller offers its own APIs but also integrates with hub CRD based APIs (such as the placement API) along with the Gateway API CRD based APIs in order to provide multi-cluster Gateway capabilities to the hub and distribute actual gateway instances to the spokes. See the Open Cluster Management docs for further details on the hub spoke architecture.
As part of installing Kuadrant, the Gateway API CRDs are also installed into the hub cluster and Kuadrant defines a standard Gateway API GatewayClass resource that the multi-cluster gateway controller is the chosen controller for.
Once installed, an Open Cluster Management user can then (with the correct RBAC in place) define in the standard way a Gateway resource that inherits from the Kuadrant configured GatewayClass in the hub. There is nothing unique about this Gateway definition, the difference is what it represents and how it is used. This Gateway is used to represent a \"multi-cluster\" distributed gateway. As such there are no pods running behind this Gateway instance in the hub cluster, instead it serves as a template that the Kuadrant multi-cluster gateway controller reconciles and distributes to targeted spoke clusters. It leverages the Open Cluster Management APIs to distribute these gateways (more info below) and aggregates the status information from each spoke cluster instance of this gateway back to this central definition, in doing this it can represent the status of the gateway across multiple clusters but also use that information to integrate with DNS providers etc.
"},{"location":"architecture/docs/design/architectural-overview/#gateway-deployment-and-distribution","title":"Gateway Deployment and Distribution","text":"In order for a multi-cluster gateway to be truly useful, it needs to be distributed or \"placed\" on a specific set of hub managed spoke clusters. Open Cluster Management is responsible for a set of placement and replication APIs. Kuadrant is aware of these APIs, and so when a given gateway is chosen to be placed on a set of managed clusters, Kuadrant multi-cluster gateway controller will ensure the right resources (ManifestWork) are created in the correct namespaces in the hub. Open Cluster Management then is responsible for syncing these to the actual spoke cluster and reporting back the status of these resources to the Hub. A user would indicate which clusters they want a gateway placed on by using a Placement and then labeling the gateway using the cluster.open-cluster-management.io/placement label.
In order for the Gateway to be instantiated, we need to know what underlying gateway provider is being used on the spoke clusters. Admins can then set this provider in the hub via the GatewayClass params. In the hub, Kuadrant will then apply a transformation to the gateway to ensure when synced it references this spoke gateway provider (Istio for example).
It is the Open Cluster Management workagent that is responsible for syncing down and applying the resources into the managed spoke cluster. It is also responsible for syncing status information back to the hub. It is the multi-cluster gateway controller that is responsible for aggregating this status.
The status information reported back to the Hub is used by the multi-cluster gateway controller to know what LB hosts / IPAddresses to use for DNSRecords that it creates and manages.

- It registers Authorino with the
IstioOperator as an auth provider so that Authorino can be used as an external auth provider. - It leverages an
EnvoyFilter to register the rate limiting service as an upstream service. - Based on the Kuadrant
AuthPolicy, it leverages Istio's AuthorizationPolicy resource to configure when a request should trigger Authorino to be called for a given host, path and method etc. - It provides a WebAssembly (WASM) Plugin that conforms to the Proxy WASM ABI (application binary interface). This WASM Plugin is loaded into the underlying Envoy based gateway provider and configured via the Kuadrant Operator based on defined
RateLimitPolicy resources. This binary is executed in response to a HTTP request being accepted by the gateway via the underlying Envoy instance that provides the proxy layer for the Gateway (IE Envoy). This plugin is configured with the correct upstream rate limit service name and when it sees a request, based on the provided configuration, it will trigger a call to the installed Limitador that is providing the rate limit capabilities and either allow the request to continue or trigger a response to the client with a 429 (too many requests) HTTP code.

- We want to separate out the ocm integration into its own controller so that policies can evolve without a coupling to any one multi-cluster management solution
- We want to separate the policies into their own controller that is capable of supporting both single (without Open Cluster Management) and multi-cluster (with Open Cluster Management enabled) contexts, so that the barrier to entry is reduced for those starting with a single cluster
- We want to allow for an on cluster DNS Provider such as CoreDNS so that we can provide an implementation that is disconnected from any cloud provider and provides more flexible DNS setups.
- We will look to reduce our integration with Istio and want to provide integration with additional gateway providers such as EnvoyGateway

Users of the RateLimitPolicy will immediately recognize elements of Envoy's Rate limit API in the definitions of the RateLimit type, with almost 1:1 correspondence between the Configuration type and its counterpart in the Envoy configuration. Although compatibility between those continue to be desired, leaking such implementation details to the level of the API can be avoided to provide a better abstraction for activators (\"matchers\") and payload (\"descriptors\"), stated by users in a seamless way.
Furthermore, the Limit type \u2013 used as well in the RLP's RateLimit type \u2013 implies presently a logical relationship between its inner concepts \u2013 i.e. conditions and variables on one side, and limits themselves on the other \u2013 that otherwise could be shaped in a different manner, to provide clearer understanding of the meaning of these concepts by the user and avoid repetition. I.e., one limit definition contains multiple rate limits, and not the other way around.

Such specific application endpoint is covered by the first HTTPRouteRule in the HTTPRoute (as a subset of GET or POST to any path that starts with /toys). However, to avoid binding limits to HTTPRouteRules that are more permissive than the actual intended scope of the limit, the RateLimitPolicy controller requires trigger matches to find identical matching rules explicitly defined amongst the sets of HTTPRouteMatches of the HTTPRouteRules potentially targeted.
As a consequence, by simply defining a trigger match for GET /toys/special in the RLP, the GET|POST /toys* HTTPRouteRule will NOT be bound to the limit definition. In order to ensure the limit definition is properly bound to a routing rule that strictly covers the GET /toys/special application endpoint, first the user has to modify the spec of the HTTPRoute by adding an explicit HTTPRouteRule for this case:
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2\nkind: HTTPRoute\nmetadata:\n name: toystore\n namespace: toystore\nspec:\n parentRefs:\n - name: istio-ingressgateway\n namespace: istio-system\n hostnames:\n - \"*.toystore.acme.com\"\n rules:\n - matches:\n - path:\n type: PathPrefix\n value: \"/toys\"\n method: GET\n - path:\n type: PathPrefix\n value: \"/toys\"\n method: POST\n backendRefs:\n - name: toystore\n port: 80\n - matches:\n - path:\n type: PathPrefix\n value: \"/assets/\"\n backendRefs:\n - name: toystore\n port: 80\n filters:\n - type: ResponseHeaderModifier\n responseHeaderModifier:\n set:\n - name: Cache-Control\n value: \"max-age=31536000, immutable\"\n - matches: # new (more specific) HTTPRouteRule added\n - path:\n type: Exact\n value: \"/toys/special\"\n method: GET\n backendRefs:\n - name: toystore\n port: 80\n

The targeted application endpoint is covered by the first HTTPRouteRule in the HTTPRoute (as a subset of GET or POST to any path that starts with /toys). However, unlike in the previous example where, at first, no HTTPRouteRule included an explicit HTTPRouteMatch for GET /toys/special, in this example the HTTPRouteMatch for the targeted application endpoint GET /toys* does exist explicitly in one of the HTTPRouteRules, thus the RateLimitPolicy controller would find no problem to bind the limit definition to the HTTPRouteRule. That would nonetheless cause a unexpected behavior of the limit triggered not strictly for GET /toys*, but also for POST /toys*.
To avoid extending the scope of the limit beyond desired, with no extra \"soft\" conditions, again the user must modify the spec of the HTTPRoute, so an exclusive HTTPRouteRule exists for the GET /toys* application endpoint:
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2\nkind: HTTPRoute\nmetadata:\n name: toystore\n namespace: toystore\nspec:\n parentRefs:\n - name: istio-ingressgateway\n namespace: istio-system\n hostnames:\n - \"*.toystore.acme.com\"\n rules:\n - matches: # first HTTPRouteRule split into two \u2013 one for GET /toys*, other for POST /toys*\n - path:\n type: PathPrefix\n value: \"/toys\"\n method: GET\n backendRefs:\n - name: toystore\n port: 80\n - matches:\n - path:\n type: PathPrefix\n value: \"/toys\"\n method: POST\n backendRefs:\n - name: toystore\n port: 80\n - matches:\n - path:\n type: PathPrefix\n value: \"/assets/\"\n backendRefs:\n - name: toystore\n port: 80\n filters:\n - type: ResponseHeaderModifier\n responseHeaderModifier:\n set:\n - name: Cache-Control\n value: \"max-age=31536000, immutable\"\n

The descriptor actions composed from the selectors in the \"soft\" when conditions and counter qualifiers originate from the direct references these selectors make to paths within a well-known data structure that stores information about the context (HTTP request and ext-authz filter). These selectors in \"soft\" when conditions and counter qualifiers are thereby called well-known selectors.

The well-known data structure for building RL descriptor actions resembles Authorino's \"Authorization JSON\", whose context component consists of Envoy's AttributeContext type of the external authorization API (marshalled as JSON). Compared to the more generic RateLimitRequest struct, the AttributeContext provides a more structured and arguibly more intuitive relation between the data sources for the RL descriptors actions and their corresponding key names through which the values are referred within the RLP, in a context of predominantly serving for HTTP applications.
To keep compatibility with the Envoy Rate Limit API, the well-known data structure can optionally be extended with the RateLimitRequest, thus resulting in the following final structure.

If, on one hand, it eliminates the risk of over-targeting, on the other hand, it does it at the cost of requiring excessively verbose policies written by the users, to the point of sometimes expecting user to have to specify trigger matching rules that are significantly more than what's originally and strictly intended.
E.g.:
On a HTTPRoute that contains the following HTTPRouteRules (simplified representation):
{ header: x-canary=true } \u2192 backend-canary\n{ * } \u2192 backend-rest\n
Where the user wants to define a RLP that targets { method: POST }. First, the user needs to edit the HTTPRoute and duplicate the HTTPRouteRules:
{ header: x-canary=true, method: POST } \u2192 backend-canary\n{ header: x-canary=true } \u2192 backend-canary\n{ method: POST } \u2192 backend-rest\n{ * } \u2192 backend-rest\n
Then, user needs to include the following trigger in the RLP so only full HTTPRouteRules are specified:
{ header: x-canary=true, method: POST }\n{ method: POST }\n
The first matching rule of the trigger (i.e. { header: x-canary=true, method: POST }) is beoynd the original user intent of targeting simply { method: POST }.
This issue can be even more concerning in the case of targeting gateways with multiple child HTTPRoutes. All the HTTPRoutes would have to be fixed and the HTTPRouteRules that cover for all the cases in all HTTPRoutes listed in the policy targeting the gateway.

That means that no limit definition will \"shadow\" another at the level of the RLP controller, i.e. the RLP controller will honour the intended binding according to the selectors specified in the policy.
Due to how things work as of today in Limitador nonetheless, i.e., the rule of the most restrictive limit wins, and because all limit definitions triggered by a given shared HTTPRouteRule, it might be the case that, across multiple limits triggered, one limit ends up \"shadowing\" other limits. However, that is by implementation of Limitador and therefore beyond the scope of the API.
An alternative to the approach of allowing all limit definitions to be bound to a same selected HTTPRouteRules would be enforcing that, amongst multiple limit definitions targeting a same HTTPRouteRule, only the first of those limits definitions is bound to the HTTPRouteRule. This alternative approach effectively would cause the first limit to \"shadow\" any other on that particular HTTPRouteRule, as by implementation of the RLP controller (i.e., at API level).
While the first approach causes an artificial Limitador condition of the form <policy-ns>/<policy-name>/<limit-name> == \"1\", the alternative approach (\"limit shadowing\") could be implemented by generating a descriptor of the following form instead: ratelimit.binding == \"<policy-ns>/<policy-name>/<limit-name>\".
The downside of allowing multiple bindings to the same HTTPRouteRule is that all limits apply in Limitador, thus making status report frequently harder. The most restritive rate limit strategy implemented by Limitador might not be obvious to users who set multiple limit definitions and will require additional information reported back to the user about the actual status of the limit definitions stated in a RLP. On the other hand, it allows enables use cases of different limit definitions that vary on the counter qualifiers, additional \"soft\" conditions, or actual rate limit values to be triggered by a same HTTPRouteRule.

On one hand, using when conditions for route filtering would make it easy to define limits when the HTTPRoute cannot be modified to include the special rule. On the other hand, users would miss information in the status. An HTTPRouteRule for GET|POST /toys*, for example, that is targeted with an additional \"soft\" when condition that specifies that the method must be equal to GET and the path exactly equal to /toys/special (see Example 3) would be reported as rate limited with extra details that this is in fact only for GET /toys/special. For small deployments, this might be considered acceptable; however it would easily explode to unmanageable number of cases for deployments with only a few limit definitions and HTTPRouteRules.
Moreover, by not specifying a more strict HTTPRouteRule for GET /toys/special, the RLP controller would bind the limit definition to other rules that would cause the rate limit filter to invoke the rate limit service (Limitador) for cases other than strictly GET /toys/special. Even if the rate limits would still be ensured to apply in Limitador only for GET /toys/special (due to the presence of a hypothetical \"soft\" when condition), an extra no-op hop to the rate limit service would happen.

A: By allowing multiple limit definitions to target a same HTTPRouteRule, the issue here stated will become less often. For the other cases where a limit definition still fails to select an HTTPRouteRule (e.g. due to mismatching trigger matches), the limit definition is not considered invalid. Possibly the limit definitions is considered \"stale\" (or \"orphan\"), i.e., not bound to any HTTPRouteRule.
- What should we fill domain/namespace with, if no longer with the hostname? This can be useful for multi-tenancy. A: For now, the domain/namespace field of the RL configuration (Envoy and Limitador ends) will be filled with a fixed (configurable) string (e.g. \"kuadrant\"). This can change in future to better support multi-tenancy and/or other use cases where a total sharding of the limit definitions within a same instance of Kuadrant is desired.
- How do we support lists of hostnames in Limitador conditions (single counter)? Should we open an issue for a new
in operator? A: Not needed. The hostnames must exist in the targeted object explicitly, just like any other routing rules intended to be targeted by a limit definition. By setting the explicit hostname in the targeted network object (Gateway or HTTPRoute), the also becomes a route rules available for \"hard\" trigger configuration. - What \"soft\" condition

Decoupled from the policy CRDs, the well-known attributes: 1. define a common language for referring to values of the data plane in the Kuadrant policies; 2. allow dynamically evolving the policy APIs regarding how they admit references to data plane attributes; 3. encompass all common and component-specific selectors for data plane attributes; 4. have a single and unified specification, although this specification may occasionally link to additional, component-specific, external docs.
"},{"location":"architecture/rfcs/0002-well-known-attributes/#guide-level-explanation","title":"Guide-level explanation","text":"One who writes a Kuadrant policy and wants to build policy constructs such as conditions, qualifiers, variables, etc, based on dynamic values of the data plane, must refer the attributes that carry those values, using the declarative language of Kuadrant's Well-known Attributes.
A dynamic data plane value is typically a value of an attribute of the request or an Envoy Dynamic Metadata entry. It can be a value of the outer request being handled by the API gateway or proxy that is managed by Kuadrant (\"context request\") or an attribute of the direct request to the Kuadrant component that delivers the functionality in the data plane (rate-limiting or external auth).
A Well-known Selector is a construct of a policy API whose value contains a direct reference to a well-known attribute. The language of the well-known attributes and therefore what one would declare within a well-known selector resembles a JSON path for navigating a possibly complex JSON object.
Example 1. Well-known selector used in a condition
apiGroup: examples.kuadrant.io\nkind: PaintPolicy\nspec:\n rules:\n - when:\n - selector: auth.identity.group\n operator: eq\n value: admin\n color: red\n
In the example, auth.identity.group is a well-known selector of an attribute group, known to be injected by the external authorization service (auth) to describe the group the user (identity) belongs to. In the data plane, whenever this value is equal to admin, the abstract PaintPolicy policy states that the traffic must be painted red.
Example 2. Well-known selector used in a variable
apiGroup: examples.kuadrant.io\nkind: PaintPolicy\nspec:\n rules:\n - color: red\n alpha:\n dynamic: request.headers.x-color-alpha\n
In the example, request.headers.x-color-alpha is a selector of a well-known attribute request.headers that gives access to the headers of the context HTTP request. The selector retrieves the value of the x-color-alpha request header to dynamically fill the alpha property of the abstract PaintPolicy policy at each request.

From the Envoy attributes, only attributes that are available before establishing connection with the upstream server qualify as a Kuadrant well-known attribute. This excludes attributes such as the response attributes and the upstream attributes.
As for the attributes inherited from Authorino, these are either based on Envoy's AttributeContext type of the external auth request API or from internal types defined by Authorino to fulfill the Auth Pipeline.
These two subsets of attributes are unified into a single set of well-known attributes. For each attribute that exists in both subsets, the name of the attribute as specified in the Envoy attributes subset prevails. Example of such is request.id (to refer to the ID of the request) superseding context.request.http.id (as the same attribute is referred in an Authorino AuthConfig).

However, it's less structured and it introduces another syntax for users to get familiar with.
This additional language competes with the language of the route selectors (RFC 0001), based on Gateway API's HTTPRouteMatch type.
Being \"soft-coded\" in the policy specs (as opposed to a hard-coded sub-structure inside of each policy type) does not mean it's completely decoupled from implementation in the control plane and/or intermediary data plane components. Although many attributes can be supported almost as a pass-through, from being used in a selector in a policy, to a corresponding value requested by the wasm-shim to its host, that is not always the case. Some translation may be required for components not integrated via wasm-shim (e.g. Authorino), as well as for components integrated via wasm-shim (e.g. Limitador) in special cases of composite or abstraction well-known attributes (i.e. attributes not available as-is via ABI, e.g. auth.identity in a RLP). Either way, some validation of the values introduced by users in the selectors may be needed at some point in the control plane, thus requiring arguably a level of awaresness and coupling between the well-known selectors specification and the control plane (policy controllers) or intermediary data plane (wasm-shim) components.
"},{"location":"architecture/rfcs/0002-well-known-attributes/#rationale-and-alternatives","title":"Rationale and alternatives","text":"As an alternative to JSON path-like selectors based on a well-known structure that induces the proposed language of well-known attributes, these same attributes could be defined as sub-types of each policy CRD. The Golang packages defining the common attributes across CRDs could be shared by the policy type definitions to reduce repetition. However, that approach would possibly involve a staggering number of new type definitions to cover all the cases for all the groups of attributes to be supported. These are constructs that not only need to be understood by the policy controllers, but also known by the user who writes a policy.
Additionally, all attributes, including new attributes occasionally introduced by Envoy and made available to the wasm-shim via ABI, would always require translation from the user-level abstraction how it's represented in a policy, to the actual form how it's used in the wasm-shim configuration and Authorino AuthConfigs.
Not implementing this proposal and keeping the current state of things mean little consistency between these common constructs for rules and conditions on how they are represented in each type of policy. This lack of consistency has a direct impact on the overhead faced by users to learn how to interact with Kuadrant and write different kinds of policies, as well as for the maintainers on tasks of coding for policy validation and reconciliation of data plane configurations.
"},{"location":"architecture/rfcs/0002-well-known-attributes/#prior-art","title":"Prior art","text":"Authorino's dynamic JSON paths, related to Authorino's Authorization JSON and used in when conditions and inside of multiple other constructs of the AuthConfig, are an example of feature of very similar approach to the one proposed here.
Arguably, Authorino's perceived flexibility would not have been possible with the Authorization JSON selectors. Users can write quite sophisticated policy rules (conditions, variable references, etc) by leveraging the those dynamic selectors. Because they are backed by JSON-based machinery in the code, Authorino's selectors have very little to, in some cases, none at all variation compared Open Policy Agent's Rego policy language, which is often used side by side in the same AuthConfigs.
Authorino's Authorization JSON selectors are, in one hand, more restrict to the structure of the CheckRequest payload (context.* attributes). At the same time, they are very open in the part associated with the internal attributes built along the Auth Pipeline (i.e. auth.* attributes). That makes Authorino's Authorization JSON selectors more limited, compared to the Envoy attributes made available to the wasm-shim via ABI, but also harder to validate. In some cases, such as of deep references to inside objects fetched from external sources of metadata, resolved OPA objects, JWT claims, etc, it is impossible to validate for correct references.
Another experience learned from Authorino's Authorization JSON selectors is that they depend substantially on the so-called \"modifiers\". Many use cases involving parsing and breaking down attributes that are originally available in a more complex form would not be possible without the modifiers. Examples of such cases are: extracting portions of the path and/or query string parameters (e.g. collection and resource identifiers), applying translations on HTTP verbs into corresponding operations, base64-decoding values from the context HTTP request, amongst several others.

"},{"location":"architecture/rfcs/0003-dns-policy/#available-load-balancing-strategies","title":"Available Load Balancing Strategies","text":"GEO and Weighted load balancing are well understood strategies and this API effectively allow a complex requirement to be expressed relatively simply and executed by the gateway controller in the chosen DNS provider. Our default policy will execute a \"Round Robin\" weighted strategy which reflects the current default behaviour.
With the above API we can provide weighted and GEO and weighted within a GEO. A weighted strategy with a minimum of a default weight is always required and the simplest type of policy. The multi-cluster gateway controller will set up a default policy when a gateway is discovered (shown below). This policy can be replaced or modified by the user. A weighted strategy can be complimented with a GEO strategy IE they can be used together in order to provide a GEO and weighted (within a GEO) load balancing. By defining a GEO section, you are indicating that you want to use a GEO based strategy (how this works is covered below).
apiVersion: kuadrant.io/v1alpha1\nkind: DNSPolicy\nname: default-policy\nspec:\n targetRef: # defaults to gateway gvk and current namespace\n name: gateway-name\n loadBalancing:\n weighted: # required\n defaultWeight: 10 #required, all records created get this weight\n health:\n ... \n
In order to provide GEO based DNS and allow customisation of the weighting, we need some additional information to be provided by the gateway / cluster admin about where this gateway has been placed. For example if they want to use GEO based DNS as a strategy, we need to know what GEO identifier(s) to use for each record we create and a default GEO to use as a catch-all. Also, if the desired load balancing approach is to provide custom weighting and no longer simply use Round Robin, we will need a way to identify which records to apply that custom weighting to based on the clusters the gateway is placed on.
To solve this we will allow two new attributes to be added to the ManagedCluster resource as labels:
kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-geo-code: \"IE\"\n kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-custom-weight: \"GCP\"\n
These two labels allow setting values in the DNSPolicy that will be reflected into DNS records for gateways placed on that cluster depending on the strategies used. (see the first DNSPolicy definition above to see how these values are used) or take a look at the examples at the bottom.
example :
apiVersion: cluster.open-cluster-management.io/v1\nkind: ManagedCluster\nmetadata:\n labels:\n kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-geo-code: \"IE\"\n kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-custom-weight: \"GCP\"\nspec: \n
The attributes provide the key and value we need in order to understand how to define records for a given LB address based on the DNSPolicy targeting the gateway.
The kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-geo-code attribute value is provider specific, using an invalid code will result in an error status condition in the DNSrecord resource.

The above is then used in the DNSPolicy to set custom weights for the records associated with the target gateway.
- value: GCP\n weight: 20\n
So any gateway targeted by a DNSPolicy with the above definition that is placed on a ManagedCluster with the kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-custom-weight set with a value of GCP will get an A record with a weight of 20

Details of the discarded alternative This alternative design would come in 3 stages: **Stage 1 : State of the policy CR defined by: application and validation of it** This first stage is a simple version where the operator only relies on itself, not checking the healthiness with the Kuadrant services, but just validating the Spec.  States rationale: * `Created`: The initial state. It announces that the policy has successfully being created, the operator acknowledges it. * `Applied`: This state is reached after the `Validation` event has being successfully passed. * `Failed`: This one would be set when the `Validation` process encounters an error. This could be either condition's failed/error state or a top-level condition. * `Updated`: From `Failed` or `Applied`, it could be triggered a `Spec Change` event that would move it to this state. **Stage 2: Further reconciliation check provides a new state** This following one, besides checking what the former stage does, it also adds the states reflecting the reconciliation process of any needed Kubernets object, Kuadrant Services custom resources and any other 3rd party CR required. An example would be in the case of the RLP, it would create/update the `ConfigMap` holding the `Limitador` config file.  States rationale: * `Applied`: The __Applied__ state would not be final, and would be preceding a `Reconciliation` event. * `Reconciled`: It communicates that the policy has successfully being reconciled, and any K8s object or required CR has been updated. * `Failed`: This one would be reached when either of `Validation` and `Reconcilation` processes have encounter any errors. **Stage 3: Final state of the policy CR defined by: health check with the Kuadrant services (post-reconciliation)** The final stage would bring a greater degree of accuracy, thanks for a final process that would check the healthiness and configuration version the Kuadrant services currently enforces.  States rationale: * `Reconciled`: This state would precede the \"Health check\" process graphed as `Service Probe` event. * `Enforced`: After a successful response of the `Service Probe`, this states communicates the policy is finally enforced. This is the final top-level condition. * `Failed`: Now this state could also be set after encountering errors in the `Service Probe` check.

In this context the advanced loadbalancing configuration is unnecessary, and the resulting DNSRecord can be created mapping individual listener hosts to a single DNS A or CNAME record by using the simple routing strategy in the DNSPolicy.
Example 1. DNSPolicy using simple routing strategy
apiVersion: kuadrant.io/v1alpha2\nkind: DNSPolicy\nmetadata:\n name: prod-web\n namespace: my-gateways\nspec:\n providerRef:\n name: my-route53-credentials\n targetRef:\n name: prod-web\n group: gateway.networking.k8s.io\n kind: Gateway\n routingStrategy: simple\n

In the example the api listener has a hostname myapp.mn.hcpapps.net that matches a hosted zone being managed by the provider referenced my-route53-credentials in the DNSPolicy. As the simple routing strategy is set in the DNSPolicy a DNSRecord resource with the following contents will be created:
apiVersion: kuadrant.io/v1alpha2\nkind: DNSRecord\nmetadata:\n name: prod-web-api\n namespace: my-gateways\nspec:\n providerRef:\n name: my-route53-credentials\n endpoints:\n - dnsName: myapp.mn.hcpapps.net\n recordTTL: 60\n recordType: A\n targets:\n - 172.31.200.0\n
The providerRef is included in the DNSRecord to allow the dns record controller to load the appropriate provider configuration during reconciliation and create the DNS records in the dns provider service e.g. route 53.
Example 2. DNSPolicy using simple routing strategy on multi cluster gateway
apiVersion: kuadrant.io/v1alpha2\nkind: DNSPolicy\nmetadata:\n name: prod-web\n namespace: my-gateways\nspec:\n providerRef:\n name: my-route53-credentials\n targetRef:\n name: prod-web\n group: gateway.networking.k8s.io\n kind: Gateway\n routingStrategy: simple\n

Similar to example 1, except here the Gateway is a multi cluster gateway that has had its status updated by the Gateway controller to include kuadrant.io/MultiClusterIPAddress type addresses. As the simple routing strategy is set in the DNSPolicy a DNSRecord resource with the following contents will be created:

apiVersion: kuadrant.io/v1beta1\nkind: Kuadrant\nmetadata:\n name: kuadrant-sample\nspec:\n limitador:\n afffinity: ...\n listener: ...\n pdb: ...\n replicas: ...\n resourceRequirements: ...\n storage: ...\n authorino:\n evaluatorCacheSize: ...\n healthz: ...\n listener: ...\n logLevel: ...\n metrics: ...\n oidcServer: ...\n replicas: ...\n tracing: ...\n volumes: ...\nstatus:\n ...\n
The Kuadrant operator will watch for changes in the Authorino and Limitador CRs, reconciling back any changes that a user may do to these configurations. How ever Kuadrant operator will not reconcile fields that are given above. An example of this is the image field on the Authorino CR. This field allows a user to set the image that Authorino is deployed with. The feature is meant for dev and testing purposes. If a user wishes to use a different image, they can. Kuadrant assumes they know what they are doing but requires the user to set the change on the component directly.
Only the sub component operator will be responsible for actioning the configurations pasted from the Kuadrant CR to the sub components CR. This ensure no extra changes will be required in the sub operators to meet the needs of Kuadrant.
Status errors related to the configuration of the sub components should be reported back to the Kuadrant CR. The errors messages in Kuadrant state what components are currently having issue and which resource to review for more details.

Kuadrant needs to remain installable with out having to set any spec in the Kuadrant CR.
The Kuadrant operator should only reconcile the spec that is given. This would mean if the user states the number of replicas to be used in one of the components only the replica field for that component should be reconciled. As the other fields would be blank at this stage, blank fields would not be reconciled to the component CR. By this behaviour a few things are being achieved. Component controllers define the defaults to be used in the components. Optional fields in the component CRs never get set with blank values. Blank values in the component CR could override the defaults of the components causing unexpected behaviour. Existing Kuadrant users may already have custom fields set in the component CRs. By only reconciling the fields set in the kuadrant CR this allows time for a user to migrate their custom configuration from the component CR to the Kuadrant CR.

It is better to start with a sub set of features and expand to include more at a later date. Removing feature support is far harder than adding it.

Work would be required to all the custom configurations options. - Dev/Testing focused, features that should only be used during development & testing and not recommended for production.

Documentation becomes harder, as the sub component should be documenting their own features but in Kuadrant the user does not configure the feature in sub component. This has the risk of confusing new users.

- What other designs have been considered and what is the rationale for not choosing them?
- What is the impact of not doing this?
One alternative that was being looked at was allowing the user to bring their own Limitador instances by stating which Limitador CR Kuadrant should use. A major point of issue with this approach was knowing what limits the user had configured and what limits Kuadrant configured. Sharing global counters is a valid reason to want to share Limitador instances. How ever it this case Limitador would not be using one replica and therefore would have a back-end storage configured. It is the back-end storage that needs to be shared across instances. This can be done with adding the configuration in the Kuadrant CR.

- If a valid configuration is add to the Kuadrant CR and this configuration is pass to the sub components CR but there is a error trying to setting up the configuration. How is this error reported back to the user? An example of this is configuring Redis as the back-end in Limitador, this requires stating the name and namespace of a configmap. The Limitador CR will have an error if the configmap does not exist and as the user only configures the Kuadrant CR this error may go unnoticed.

In a realistic multicluster scenario where multiple spoke clusters are present, the management of these policies can become tedious and error-prone, as policies have to be defined in the hub cluster, as well as replicated in the multiple spoke clusters.
As Kuadrant users: * Gateway-admin has a set of homogeneous clusters and needs to apply per cluster rate limits across the entire set. * Platform-admin with a set of clusters with rate limits applied needs to change rate limit for one particular cluster.

\"policiesToSync\": [\n {\n \"group\": \"kuadrant.io\",\n \"version\": \"v1beta1\",\n \"resource\": \"authpolicies\" \n }\n]\n
The support for resources that the controller can sync is limited by the following: * The controller ServiceAccount must have permission to watch, list, and get the resource to be synced * The resource must implement the Policy schema: * Have a .spec.targetRef field
When a Policy is configured to be synced in a GatewayClass, the Multicluster Gateway Controller starts watching events on the resources, and propagates changes by placing the policy in the spoke clusters, with the following mutations: * The TargetRef of the policy is changed to reference the downstream Gateway * The kuadrant.io/policy-synced annotation is set
The upstream policy is annotated with a reference to the name and namespace of the downstream policies:

This section aims to provide guidelines for the different aspects of the release process.

- Kuadrant Operator: The Operator to install and manage the lifecycle of the Kuadrant components deployments. Example alerts and dashboards are also included as optional.
- kuadrantctl: A CLI tool for managing Kuadrant configurations and resources.
Each of them needs to be versioned independently, and the versioning scheme should follow Semantic Versioning. At the time of cutting a release for any of them, it's important to keep in mind what section of the version to bump, given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:
- MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes
- MINOR version when you add functionality in a backward compatible manner
- PATCH version when you make backward compatible bug fixes
Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.
A more detailed explanation of the versioning scheme can be found in the Semantic Versioning website.
By releasing a new version of Kuadrant, we mean releasing the set of components with their corresponding semantic versioning, some of them maybe freshly released, or others still using versioning from the previous one, and being the version of the Kuadrant Operator the one that defines the version of the whole suite.

This check is not meant to be a fully fledged assessment from the QA team when it's handover to them, it's aimed to not take more than 1-2 days, and ideally expected to be fully automated. This step will happen once the release candidate has no PRs pending to be merged, and it has been tested by the Engineering team. The QA team should work closely to the engineering throughout the process, both teams aiming for zero handover time and continuous delivery mindset, so immediate testing can be triggered on release candidates once handed over. This process should happen without the need of formal communication between the teams or any overhead in general, but by keeping constant synergy between quality and product engineering instead.
There is an ideal time to hand over to the QA team for testing, especially since we are using GitHub for orchestration, we could briefly define it in the following steps:
- Complete Development Work: The engineering team completes their work included in the milestone.
- Create Release Candidate: The engineering team creates Release Candidate builds and manifests for all components required for the release
- Flagging/Testing: The QA team do the actual assertion/testing of the release candidate, checking for any obvious bugs or issues. Then QA reports all the bugs as GitHub issues and communicates testing status back publicly on Slack and/or email.
- Iterate: Based on the feedback from the QA team, the Engineering team makes any necessary adjustments and repeats the process until the release candidate is deemed ready for production.
- Publish Release: Once QA communicates that the testing has been successfully finished, the engineering team will publish the release both on Github and in the corresponding registries, updates documentation for the new release, and communicates it to all channels specified in Communication section.

There's another RFC that focuses on the actual frequency of each component, one could refer to the Kuadrant Release Cadence RFC.
There are a few reasons for this:
- Delivering Unparalleled Value to Users: Regular releases can provide users with regular updates and improvements. These updates can include new features and essential bug fixes, thus enhancing the overall value delivered to the users.
- Resource Optimization: By releasing software at regular intervals, teams can align their activities with available resources and environments, ensuring optimal utilization. This leads to increased efficiency in the deployment process and reduces the risk of resource wastage.
- Risk Management: Regular releases can help identify and fix issues early, reducing the risk of major failures that could affect users.
- Feedback Cycle: Regular releases allow for quicker feedback cycles. This means that any issues or improvements identified by users can be addressed promptly, leading to a more refined product over time.
- Synchronization: Regular releases can help synchronize work across different teams or departments, creating a more reliable, dependable solution development and delivery process.
- Reduced Complexity: Managing a smaller number of releases can reduce complexity. For example, having many different releases out in the field can lead to confusion and management overhead.
By committing to a release cadence, software projects can benefit from improved efficiency, risk management, faster feedback cycles, synchronization, and reduced complexity.

"},{"location":"architecture/rfcs/0009-defaults-and-overrides/#summary","title":"Summary","text":"This is a proposal for extending the Kuadrant Policy APIs to fully support use cases of Defaults & Overrides (D/O) for Inherited Policies, including the base use cases of full default and full override, and more specific nuances that involve merging individual policy rules (as defaults or overrides), declaring constraints and unsetting defaults.
"},{"location":"architecture/rfcs/0009-defaults-and-overrides/#motivation","title":"Motivation","text":"As of Kuadrant Operator v0.6.0, Kuadrant policy resources that have hierarchical effect across the tree of network objects (Gateway, HTTPRoute), or what is known as Inherited Policies, provide only limited support for setting defaults and no support for overrides at all.
The above is notably the case of the AuthPolicy and the RateLimitPolicy v1beta2 APIs, shipped with the aforementioned version of Kuadrant. These kinds of policies can be attached to Gateways or to HTTPRoutes, with cascading effects through the hierarchy that result in one effective policy per gateway-route combination. This effective policy is either the policy attached to the Gateway or, if present, the one attached to the HTTRoute, thus conforming with a strict case of implicit defaults set at the level of the gateway.
Enhancing the Kuadrant Inherited Policy CRDs, so the corresponding policy instances can declare defaults and overrides stanzas, is imperative: 1. to provide full support for D/O along the lines proposed by GEP-713 (to be superseded by GEP-26491) of the Kubernetes Gateway API special group (base use cases); 2. to extend D/O support to other derivative cases, learnt to be just as important for platform engineers and app developers who require more granular policy interaction on top of the base cases; 3. to support more sophisticated hierarchies with other kinds of network objects and/or multiples policies targetting at the same level of the hierarchy (possibly, in the future.)

The base cases are expanded with the following additional derivative cases and concepts: - Merged defaults (DR): \"higher\" default policy rules that are merged into more specific \"lower\" policies (as opposed to an atomic less specific set of rules that is activated only when another more specific one is absent) - Merged overrides (OR): \"higher\" override policy rules that are merged into more specific \"lower\" policies (as opposed to an atomic less specific set of rules that is activated fully replacing another more specific one that is present) - Constraints (C): specialization of an override that, rather than declaring concrete values, specify higher level constraints (e.g., min value, max value, enums) for lower level values, with the semantics of \"clipping\" lower level values so they are enforced, in an override fashion, to be the boundaries dictated by the constraints; typically employed for constraining numeric values and regular patterns (e.g. limited sets) - Unsetting (U): specialization that completes a merge default use case by allowing lower level policies to disable (\"unset\") individual defaults set a higher level (as opposed to superseding those defaults with actual, more specific, policy rules with proper meaning)

targetRef (required): the reference to a hierarchical network object targeted by the policy, typed as a Gateway API PolicyTargetReference or PolicyTargetReferenceWithSectionName typedefaults: a block of default policy rules with further specification of a strategy (atomic set of rules or individual rules to be merged into lower policies), and optional conditions for applying the defaults down through the hierarchyoverrides: a block of override policy rules with further specification of a strategy (atomic set of rules or individual rules to be merged into lower policies), and optional conditions for applying the overrides down through the hierarchy- the bare policy rules block without further qualification as a default or override set of rules \u2013 e.g. the
rules field in a Kuadrant AuthPolicy, the limits field in a RateLimitPolicy.
Between the following mutually exclusive options, either one or the other shall be used in a policy: 1. defaults and/or overrides blocks; or 2. the bare set of policy rules (without further qualification as neither defaults nor overrides.)
In case the bare set of policy rules is used, it is treated implicitly as a block of defaults.
Supporting specifying the bare set of policy rules at the first level of the spec, alternatively to the defaults and overrides blocks, is a strategy that aims to provide: 1. more natural usability, especially for those who write policies attached to the lowest level of the hierarchy supported; as well as 2. backward compatibility for policies that did not support explicit D/O and later on have moved to doing so.
"},{"location":"architecture/rfcs/0009-defaults-and-overrides/#inherited-policies-that-declare-an-intent","title":"Inherited Policies that declare an intent","text":"A policy that does not specify D/O fields (defaults, overrides) is a policy that declares an intent.
One who writes a policy without specifying defaults or overrides, but only the bare set of policy rules, may feel like declaring a Direct Policy. Depending on the state of other policies indirectly affecting the same object or not, the final outcome can be the same as writing a direct policy. This is especially true when the policy that declares the intent targets an object whose kind is the lowest kind accepted by Kuadrant in the hierarchy of network resources, and there are no other policies with lower precedence.
Nevertheless, because other policies can affect the final behavior of the target (e.g. by injecting defaults, by overriding rules, by adding more definitions beneath), policies that simply declare an intent, conceptually, are still Inherited Policies.
Compared to the inherited policy that misses D/O blocks, these other policies affecting the behavior may be declared: - at higher levels in the hierarchy, - at lower levels in hierarchy, or even - at the same level in the hierarchy but happening to have lower precedence (if such case is allowed by the kind of policy.)
At any time, any one of these policies can be created and therefore the final behavior of a target should never be assumed to be equivalent to the intent declared by any individual policy in particular, but always collectively determined by the combination of all intents, defaults and overrides from all inherited policies affecting the target.
From GEP-2649:
If a Policy can be used as an Inherited Policy, it MUST be treated as an Inherited Policy, regardless of whether a specific instance of the Policy is only affecting a single object.
An inherited policy that simply declares an intent (i.e. without specifying D/O) will be treated as a policy that implicitly declares an atomic set of defaults, whether the policy targets higher levels in the hierarchy or lower ones. In the absence of any other conflicting policy affecting the same target, the behavior equals the defaults which equal the intent.
"},{"location":"architecture/rfcs/0009-defaults-and-overrides/#inherited-policies-that-modify-an-intent","title":"Inherited Policies that modify an intent","text":"A policy that specifies D/O fields (defaults, overrides) is a policy explicitly declared to modify an intent.
Without any other policy with lower precedence, there is no special meaning in choosing whether defaults or overrides in a inherited policy that targets an object whose kind is the lowest kind accepted by Kuadrant in the hierarchy of network resources. The sets of rules specified in these policies affect indistinctively the targeted objects, regardless of how they are qualified.
However, because other policies may ocasionally be declared with lower precedence (i.e. targeting lower levels in the hierarchy or due to ordering, see Conflict Resolution), one who declares a policy to modify an intent must carefuly choose between defaults and/or overrides blocks to organize the policy rules, regardless if the targeted object is of a kind that is the lowest kind in the hierarchy of network resources accepted by Kuadrant.
Even in the cases where no more than one policy of a kind is allowed to target a same object (1:1 relationship) and thus there should never exist two policies affecting a target from a same level of the hierarchy simultaneaously (or equivalently a policy with lower precedence than another, both at the lowest level of the hierarchy), users must assume that this constraint may change (i.e. N:1 relationship between policies of a kind and target become allowed.)
In all cases, defaults and overrides must be used with the semantics of declaring rules that modify an intent. - When an intent does not specify a rule for which there is a higher default declared, the default modifies the intent by setting the value specified by the default. - For an intent that whether specifies or omits a rule for which there is a higher override declared, the override modifies the intent by setting the value specified by the override.

Users can rely on the presence of that label to identify policy kinds whose instances are treated as inhertied policies.
In some exceptional cases, there may be kinds of Kuadrant policies that do not specify defaults and overrides blocks, but that are still labeled as inherited policy kinds. Instances of these kinds of policies implicitly declare an atomic sets of defaults, similarly to described in Inherited Policies that declare an intent.

The above is a proper Inherited Policy that sets a default atomic set of auth rules that will be set at lower objects in case those lower object do not have policies attached of their own at all.
The following is a sligthly different example that defines auth rules that will be individually merged into lower objects, evaluated one by one if already defined at the \"lower\" (more specific) level and therefore should take precedence, or if otherwise is missing at the lower level and therefore the default should be activated.

Each block of defaults and overrides must specify a strategy field whose value is set to either atomic or merge. If omitted, atomic is assumed.

atomic means that the level of granularity is the entire set of policy rules within the defaults or overrides block. I.e., the policy is atomic, or, equivalently, the final effective policy will be either one indivisible (\"atomic\") set of rules (\"policy\") or the other.
-
For the merge strategy, on the other hand, the granularity is of each named policy rule, where the name of the policy rule is the key and the value is an atomic object that specifies that policy rule. The final effective policy will be a merge of two policies.

The policy that sets higher in the hierarchy dictates the strategy to be applied.

"},{"location":"architecture/rfcs/0009-defaults-and-overrides/#unsetting-inherited-defaults","title":"Unsetting inherited defaults","text":"In some cases, it may be desirable to be able to unset, at a lower policy, a merged default that is inherited from a higher one. In fact, some inherited defaults could be harmful to an application, at the same time as they are unfeasible to remove from scope for all applications altogether, and therefore require an exception.
Unsetting defaults via specification at lower level policies provides users who own policy rules at different levels of the hirarchy the option of not having to coordinate those exceptions \"offline\", nor having to accept the addition of special cases (conditions) at the higher level to exempt only specific lower policies from being affected by a particular default, which otherwise would configure a violation of the inheritance pattern, as well as an imposition of additional cognitive complexity for one who reads a higher policy with too many conditions.
Instead, users should continue to be able to declare their intents through policies, and redeem an entitlement to unset unapplicable defaults, without any leakage of lower level details upwards at the higher policies.
The option of unsetting inherited defaults is presented as part of the volition implied by the inheritance of policy rules, which are tipically specified for the more general case (e.g. at the level of a gateway, for all routes), though not necessarily applicable for all special cases beneath. If enabled, this feature helps disambiguate the concept of \"default\", which should not be understood strictly as the option to set values that protect the system in case of lack of specialisation. Rather, by its property of volition and changeability. I.e., by definition, every default policy rule is opt-out and specifies a value that is modifiable.
In constrast, a policy rule that is neither opt-out nor modifiable better fits the definition of an override. While a policy rule that is not opt-out, nor it sets a concrete default value to be enforced in the lack of specialisation, defines a requirement.
Finally, for the use case where users want to set defaults that cannot be unset (though still modifable), the very feature of unsetting defaults itself should be configurable, at least at the level of the system. This can be achieved with feature switches and policy validation, including backed by the cluster's RBAC if needed.
The capability of unsetting inherited defaults from an effective policy can be identified by the presence of the spec.unset field in a policy. The value is a list of default named policy rules to be unset.
"},{"location":"architecture/rfcs/0009-defaults-and-overrides/#conditionally-applying-do","title":"Conditionally applying D/O","text":"Users should be able to specify conditions for applying their blocks of defaults and overrides. These conditions aim to support exceptional cases where the blocks cannot be simply applied downwards, but rather depend on specifics found in the lower policies, while still defined in generic terms \u2013 as opposed to conditions that leak details of individual lower policies upwards.
Between a higher and a lower set of policy rules, the higher level dictates the conditions for its rules to be applied (either as defaults or as overrides) over the lower level, and never the other way around.
D/O conditions are identfied by the presence of the spec.defaults.when or spec.overrides.when fields in a policy. Those should be defined using Common Expression Language (CEL), evaluated in the control plane against the lower level specification that the higher level is being applied to. I.e. self in the CEL expression is the lower policy.
A concrete useful application for conditionally enforcing a block of D/O is for specifying constraints for lower values. E.g. if a lower policy tries to set a value on a numeric field that is greater (or lower) than a given threshold, apply an override that sets that field value to equal to the threshold; otherwise, use the value declared by the lower policy.
In contrast, an example of trivially redundant application of D/O conditions would be specifying a default block of rules that is only applied when the lower level does not declare a more specific replacement. Since this is natural semantics of a default, one does not have to use conditions for that.

Combined with a simple case of override policy (see Examples C), the when condition field allows modeling for use cases of setting constraints for lower-level policies.
As here proposed, the value of the when condition field must be a valid Common Expression Language (CEL) expression.
Example E1. An override policy whose rules set constraints to field values of other policies at a lower level, overriding individual policy values of rules with same identification if those values violate the constraints - lower policy is compliant with the constraint
Example E2. An override policy whose rules set constraints to field values of other policies at a lower level, overriding individual policy values of rules with same identification if those values violate the constraints - lower level violates the constraint

The following example illustrates the possibly unintended consequences of enforcing D/O at strict levels of granularity, and the flip side of the strategy field offering a closed set of options (atomic, merge).
On one hand, the API is simple and straightforward, and there are no deeper side effects to be concerned about, other than at the two levels provided (atomic sets or merged individual policy rules.) On the other hand, this design may require more offline interaction between the actors who manage conflicting policies.

The design option based on the strategy field is the RECOMMENDED design for the implementation of Kuadrant Policies enabled for D/O. This is due to the pros above, plus the fact that this design can evolve to other, more versatile forms, such as granularity field, when conditions or CEL functions, in the future, while the opposite would be harder to achieve.

A typical generic policy requirement user story is:
As a Platform Engineer, when configuring a Gateway, I want to set policy requirements to be fulfilled by one who manages an application/route linked to my Gateway, so all interested parties, including myself, can be aware of applications deployed to the cluster that lack a particular policy protection being enforced.
Policy requirements as here described are out of scope of this RFC.
We believe policy requirement use cases can be stated and solved as an observability problem, by defining metrics and alerts that cover for missing policies or policy rules, without necessarily having to write a policy of the same kind to express such requirement to be fulfilled.

Often policies rules include references to other Kubernetes objects, such as Secrets, typically defined in the same namespace as the policy object. When merging policies from different namespaces, these references need to be taken into account.
If not carried along with the derivative resources (e.g. Authorino AuthConfig objects) that are created from a merge of policies (or from the computed effective policy), composed out of definitions from different namespaces, and that depend on those references, these references to external objects can be broken.
This is not much of a problem for atomic D/O only, as the derivative objects that depend on the references could be forced to be created in the same namespace as the policy that wins against all the others \u2013 and therefore in the same namespace of the winning referents as well. However, when merging policies, we can run into a situation where final effective policies (thus also other derivative resources) contain references to objects inherited from definitions from other namespaces.
Possible solutions to this problem include: 1. Copying the referenced objects into the namespace where the derivative resources will be created. - Involves maintaining (watching and reconciling) those referenced objects - May raise security concerns 2. Allowing derivative resources (e.g. Authorino AuthConfigs) to reference objects across namespaces, as well as giving permissions to the components that process those references (e.g. Authorino) to read across namespaces - May raise security concerns - Should probably be restricted to derivative resources created by Kuadrant and not allowed to users who create the derivative resources themselves
"},{"location":"architecture/rfcs/0009-defaults-and-overrides/#policy-spec-resembling-more-the-target-spec","title":"Policy spec resembling more the target spec","text":"Should Kuadrant's inherited policy specs resemble more the specs of the objects they target?
The UX for one who writes a Kuadrant policy of the inherited class of policies is arguably not very different from writing any custom resource that happens to specify a targetRef field. Other than name and kind of target object, there is nothing much in a Kuadrant policy custom resource that provides the user with an experience almost close to be \"adding fields\" in the target object.
With the exception of a few types reused for the route selectors, the spec of a Kuadrant policy is very different from the spec of the object that ultimately the policy augments, i.e. the spec of the route object. This remains basically unchanged after this RFC. However, another way to think on the design of those APIs is one where, in contrast, the specs of the policies partially mirror the spec of the route, so users can write policies in a more intuitive fashion, as if the definitions of the policy would look like extensions of the routes they target (directly or by targeting gateways the routes are attached to.)
E.g.:
kind: HTTPRoute\nmetadata:\n name: my-route\nspec:\n rules:\n - name: rule-1\n matches:\n - method: GET\n backendRef: {\u2026}\n - name: rule-2\n backendRef: {\u2026}\n
An inherited policy that targets the HTTPRoute above could otherwise look like the following:
kind: Policy\nmetadata:\n name: my-policy\nspec:\n targetRef:\n kind: HTTPRoute\n name: my-route\n defaults: # mirrors the spec of the httproute object\n policySpecificDef: {\u2026} # augments the entire httproute object\n overrides: # mirrors the spec of the httproute object\n rules:\n - name: rule-2\n policySpecificDef: {\u2026} # augments only httprouterule rule-2 of the httproute object\n
The above already is somewhat closer to being true for the AuthPolicy API, than it is for the RateLimitPolicy one. However, that is strictly coincidental, because the AuthPolicy's spec happens to specify a rules field, where the equivalent at the same level in RateLimitPolicy is called limits.
This alternative design could make writing policies more like defining filters in an HTTPRoute, with the difference that policies are external to the target they extend (while filters are internal.) At the same time, it could be a replacement for Kuadrant route selectors, where the context of applicability of a policy rule is given by the very structure within the spec how the policy rule is declared (resembling the one of the target), thus also would shaping context for D/O.
One caveat of this design though is that each policy specific definition (i.e. the rule specification that extends the object at a given point defined by the very structure of the spec) is exclusive of that given point in the structure of the object. I.e., one cannot specify a single policy rule that augments N > 1 specific rules of a target HTTPRoute.
Due to its relevance to the design of the API that enables D/O, this was left as an unresolved question. To be nonetheless noticed that, as a pattern, this alternative API design extends beyond inherited policies, impacting as well the direct policy kinds DNSPolicy and TLSPolicy.

Instead, Kuadrant enforces 1:1 relationship between policies of a kind and target resources.
Supporting N:1 relationships could enable use cases such as of App Developers defining D/O for each other at the same level of a shared xRoute, as well as Platform Engineers setting different policy rules on the same Gateway.
This could provide an alternative to achieving separation of concerns for complex policy kinds such as the AuthPolicy, where different users could be responsible for authentication and authorization, without necessarily depending on defining new kinds of policies.

Although the semantics could remain the same, the users specify the scope for a given set of policy rules could simplify significantly.
As of today, Kuadrant's AuthPolicy and RateLimitPolicy APIs allow users to target sections of a HTTPRoute based on route selectors, and thus all the conflict resolution involved in handling D/O must take that logics into account.
With named route rules supported by Gateway API, either route selectors could be redefined in a simpler form where each selector consists of a list of names of rules and/or entire policies could be scoped for a section of a resource, by defining the targetRef field based on the PolicyTargetReferenceWithSectionName type.
To be noted GEP-2649's recommendation of not defining inherited policies that allow for sectionName in the targetRef. Nonetheless, this is a general rule from the spec said to be acceptable to be broken in the spirit of offering better functionality to users, provided it can deal with the associated discoverability and complexity problems of this feature.

In the Policy CRDs, the policy rule types must specify a name field (required). The list of rules type (i.e. []Rule) must then speficy the following Kubebuilder CRD processing annotations:

- Create the HTTPRoute using the CLI

- Create Kuadrant's Auth Policy
bin/kuadrantctl generate kuadrant authpolicy --oas petstore-openapi.yaml | kubectl apply -n petstore -f -\n
Now, we are ready to test OpenAPI endpoints
GET /api/v1/cat -> It's a public endpoint, hence should return 200 Ok
curl -H \"Host: example.com\" -i \"http://127.0.0.1:9080/api/v1/cat\"\n
POST /api/v1/cat -> It's a protected endpoint with apikey
Without any credentials, it should return 401 Unauthorized
curl -H \"Host: example.com\" -X POST -i \"http://127.0.0.1:9080/api/v1/cat\"\n
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized\nwww-authenticate: Bearer realm=\"getDog_oidc\"\nwww-authenticate: Bearer realm=\"getSnake_oidc\"\nwww-authenticate: snake_token realm=\"getSnake_snakes_api_key\"\nwww-authenticate: api_key realm=\"postCat_cat_api_key\"\nx-ext-auth-reason: {\"postCat_cat_api_key\":\"credential not found\"}\ndate: Tue, 28 Nov 2023 22:28:44 GMT\nserver: istio-envoy\ncontent-length: 0\n
The reason headers tell that credential not found. Credentials satisfying postCat_cat_api_key authentication is needed.
According to the OpenAPI spec, it should be a header named api_key. What if we try a wrong token? one token assigned to other endpoint, i.e. I_LIKE_SNAKES instead of the valid one I_LIKE_CATS. It should return 401 Unauthorized.
curl -H \"Host: example.com\" -H \"api_key: I_LIKE_SNAKES\" -X POST -i \"http://127.0.0.1:9080/api/v1/cat\"\n
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized\nwww-authenticate: Bearer realm=\"getDog_oidc\"\nwww-authenticate: Bearer realm=\"getSnake_oidc\"\nwww-authenticate: snake_token realm=\"getSnake_snakes_api_key\"\nwww-authenticate: api_key realm=\"postCat_cat_api_key\"\nx-ext-auth-reason: {\"postCat_cat_api_key\":\"the API Key provided is invalid\"}\ndate: Tue, 28 Nov 2023 22:32:55 GMT\nserver: istio-envoy\ncontent-length: 0\n
The reason headers tell that the API Key provided is invalid. Using valid token (from the secret cat-api-key-1 assigned to POST /api/v1/cats) in the api_key header should return 200 Ok
curl -H \"Host: example.com\" -H \"api_key: I_LIKE_CATS\" -X POST -i \"http://127.0.0.1:9080/api/v1/cat\"\n
GET /api/v1/dog -> It's a protected endpoint with oidc (assigned to our keycloak instance and petstore realm)
without credentials, it should return 401 Unauthorized
curl -H \"Host: example.com\" -i \"http://127.0.0.1:9080/api/v1/dog\"\n
To get the authentication token, this example is using Direct Access Grants oauth2 grant type (also known as Client Credentials grant type). When configuring the Keycloak (OIDC provider) client settings, we enabled Direct Access Grants to enable this procedure. We will be authenticating as bob user with p password. We previously created bob user in Keycloak in the petstore realm.
export ACCESS_TOKEN=$(curl -k -H \"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\" \\\n -d 'grant_type=password' \\\n -d 'client_id=petstore' \\\n -d 'scope=openid' \\\n -d 'username=bob' \\\n -d 'password=p' \"https://${KEYCLOAK_PUBLIC_DOMAIN}/auth/realms/petstore/protocol/openid-connect/token\" | jq -r '.access_token')\n
Replace ${KEYCLOAK_PUBLIC_DOMAIN} with your SSO instance domain
With the access token in place, let's try to get those puppies
curl -H \"Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN\" -H 'Host: example.com' http://127.0.0.1:9080/api/v1/dog -i\n
it should return 200 OK
GET /api/v1/snake -> It's a protected endpoint with oidc (assigned to our keycloak instance and petstore realm) OR with apiKey
This example is to show that multiple security requirements (with OR semantics) can be specified for an OpenAPI operation.
Without credentials, it should return 401 Unauthorized
curl -H \"Host: example.com\" -i \"http://127.0.0.1:9080/api/v1/snake\"\n
With the access token in place, it should return 200 OK (unless the token has expired).
curl -H \"Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN\" -H 'Host: example.com' http://127.0.0.1:9080/api/v1/snake -i\n
With apiKey it should also work. According to the OpenAPI spec security scheme, it should be a query string named snake_token and the token needs to be valid token (from the secret snake-api-key-1 assigned to GET /api/v1/snake)
curl -H 'Host: example.com' -i \"http://127.0.0.1:9080/api/v1/snake?snake_token=I_LIKE_SNAKES\"\n

We're using Tekton here with kubectl to apply resources to a cluster. We recommend looking at a tool such as ArgoCD to implement continuous delivery via a GitOps approach. In this scenario, you would:
- Use
kuadrantctl to generate Kubernetes/Kuadrant resources as part a Tekton pipeline - Commit these new resources in to a git respository
- Use ArgoCD to sync these changes via a Git respository to a Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster

By creating a ManagedZone we are instructing the MGC about a domain or subdomain that can be used as a host by any gateways in the same namespace. These gateways can use a subdomain of the ManagedZone.
If a gateway attempts to a use a domain as a host, and there is no matching ManagedZone for that host, then that host on that gateway will fail to function.
A gateway's host will be matched to any ManagedZone that the host is a subdomain of, i.e. test.api.hcpapps.net will be matched by any ManagedZone (in the same namespace) of: test.api.hcpapps.net, api.hcpapps.net or hcpapps.net.
When MGC wants to create the DNS Records for a host, it will create them in the most exactly matching ManagedZone. e.g. given the zones hcpapps.net and api.hcpapps.net the DNS Records for the host test.api.hcpapps.net will be created in the api.hcpapps.net zone.

In the scenario where a root domain has a zone outside Route53, e.g. external.com, and a ManagedZone for delegated.external.com is required, the following steps can be taken: - Create the ManagedZone for delegated.external.com and wait until the status is updated with an array of nameservers (e.g. ns1.hcpapps.net, ns2.hcpapps.net). - Copy these nameservers to your root zone for external.com, you can create a NS record for each nameserver against the delegated.external.com record.
For example:
delegated.external.com. 3600 IN NS ns1.hcpapps.net.\ndelegated.external.com. 3600 IN NS ns2.hcpapps.net.\n
Now, when MGC creates a DNS record in it's Route53 zone for delegated.external.com, it will be resolved correctly.

The reasoning is that other controllers may override/change records in the DNS provider so there is a need to requeue the DNS Record from time to time even when no local changes are introduced.
"},{"location":"dns-operator/docs/RFC/distributed-dns/dnsrecord-lifecycle/#details","title":"Details","text":"There are a few new fields on the DNS Record status: * QueuedAt is a time when the DNS record was received for the reconciliation * QueuedFor is a time when we expect a DNS record to be reconciled again * ValidFor indicates the duration since the last reconciliation we consider data in the record to be valid * WriteCounter represents a number of consecutive write attempts on the same generation of the record. It is being reset to 0 when the generation changes or there are no changes to write.
There is an option to override the ValidFor and DefaultRequeueTime with valid-for and requeue-time flags respectively.
The DefaultRequeueTime is the duration between successful validation and the next reconciliation to ensure that the record is still up-to-date.
The ValidFor is used to determine if we should do a full reconciliation when we get the record. If the record is still valid we will only update finalizers and validate the record itself. It will not perform anything that involves a DNS provider.
"},{"location":"dns-operator/docs/RFC/distributed-dns/dnsrecord-lifecycle/#dns-record-normal-lifecycle","title":"DNS Record normal lifecycle","text":"Once we enqueue the DNS record, controller will compile a list of changes to the DNS provider and will apply it. After this, the record is enqueued with the validationRequeueTime and the Ready condition will be marked as false with a message Awaiting Validation. When the record is received again and the controller ensures there are no changes needed (the ones applied are present in the DNS Provider) it sets the Ready condition to true and enqueues it with the defaultRequeueTime.
At any time when the record is requeued we also set the record.Status.QueuedFor field with a timestamp for when we expect to receive the record again. And on every reconciliation we set the record.Status.QueuedAt to be the time of the reconciliation.
Upon deletion, the process will be similar. The controller will determine the changes needed to the DNS provider and will apply them. The record will be requeued with the validationRequeueTime. Once we receive it back and ensure that there are no changes needed for the DNS provider we remove the finalizer from the record.
The validationRequeueTime duration is randomized +/- 50%.
"},{"location":"dns-operator/docs/RFC/distributed-dns/dnsrecord-lifecycle/#when-things-go-south","title":"When things go south","text":"If the record is received prematurely - the ValidFor + QueuedAt is more than the current time - we requeue it again for the ValidFor duration.
When we encounter an error during the reconciliation we will not requeue the record and will put in an appropriate error message in the log and on the record. In order for it to reconcile again there must be a change to the DNS Record CR.
It is possible for a user to mess with the timestamps field or the ValidFor field. Kubernetes will not let setting an invalid value to the timestamp fields. Once the timestamp fields are set manually it will trigger reconciliation since there is a change in the record CR. The only one that could impact the controller is the QueuedAt field and the controller will believe that to be the last time the record was reconciled. As for the ValidFor: since it is a simple string it is possible to set an incorrect value. If we fail to parse it we treat the ValidFor as 0. This means that the controller will believe that the information in the record is expired and will probe the DNS provider for an update. If a valid value is provided controller will obey it. Eventually, the controller will naturally enqueue the record and those values will be overridden.
In case the controller fails to retain changes in the DNS Provider: write are successful, but the validation fails again and the WriteCounter reaches the WriteCounterLimit we give up on the reconciliation. The appropriate message will be put under the Ready - false condition as well as in the logs of the controller. The reconciliation will resume once the generation of the DNS Record is changed.

Kuadrant aims to produce a set of loosely coupled functionalities built directly on top of Kubernetes. Furthermore, it only strives to provide what Kubernetes doesn\u2019t offer out of the box, i.e. Kuadrant won\u2019t be designing a new Gateway/proxy, instead it will opt to connect with what\u2019s there and what\u2019s being developed (think Envoy, Istio, GatewayAPI).
Kuadrant is a system of cloud-native k8s components that grows as users\u2019 needs grow.
- From simple protection of a Service (via AuthN) that is used by teammates working on the same cluster, or \u201csibling\u201d services, up to AuthZ of users using OIDC plus custom policies.

As a standard, gateway policies that do not specify neither defaults nor overrides, act as defaults.
When declaring defaults, an AuthPolicy which targets a Gateway will be enforced to all HTTP traffic hitting the gateway, unless a more specific AuthPolicy targeting a matching HTTPRoute exists. Any new HTTPRoute referrencing the gateway as parent will be automatically covered by the default AuthPolicy, as well as changes in the existing HTTPRoutes.
Defaults provide cluster operators with the ability to protect the infrastructure against unplanned and malicious network traffic attempt, such as by setting preemptive \"deny-all\" policies on hostnames and hostname wildcards.
Inversely, a gateway policy that specify overrides declares a set of rules to be enforced on all routes attached to the gateway, thus atomically replacing any more specific policy occasionally attached to any of those routes.

when conditions in an AuthPolicy are compatible with Authorino conditions, thus supporting complex boolean expressions with AND and OR operators, as well as grouping.

This includes multiple HTTPRoutes that specify the same hostnames in the spec.hostnames field, as well as HTTPRoutes that specify a hostname that is identical to a hostname specified in a listener of one of the route's parent gateways or HTTPRoutes that don't specify any hostname at all thus inheriting the hostnames from the parent gateways. In any of these cases, a maximum of one AuthPolicy targeting any of those resources that specify identical hostnames is allowed.
Moreover, having multiple resources that declare identical hostnames may lead to unexpected behavior and therefore should be avoided.
This limitation is rooted at the underlying components configured by Kuadrant for the implementation of its policies and the lack of information in the data plane regarding the exact route that is honored by the API gateway at each specific request, in cases of conflicting hostnames.
To exemplify one way this limitation can impact deployments, consider the following topology:
\u250c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2510\n \u2502 Gateway \u2502\n \u251c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2524\n \u250c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u25ba\u2502 listeners: \u2502\u25c4\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2510\n \u2502 \u2502 - host: *.io \u2502 \u2502\n \u2502 \u2514\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2518 \u2502\n \u2502 \u2502\n \u2502 \u2502\n\u250c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2534\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2510 \u250c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2534\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2510\n\u2502 HTTPRoute \u2502 \u2502 HTTPRoute \u2502\n\u2502 (route-a) \u2502 \u2502 (route-b) \u2502\n\u251c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2524 \u251c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2524\n\u2502 hostnames: \u2502 \u2502 hostnames: \u2502\n\u2502 - app.io \u2502 \u2502 - app.io \u2502\n\u2502 rules: \u2502 \u2502 rules: \u2502\n\u2502 - matches: \u2502 \u2502 - matches: \u2502\n\u2502 - path: \u2502 \u2502 - path: \u2502\n\u2502 value: /foo \u2502 \u2502 value: /bar \u2502\n\u2514\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2518 \u2514\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2518\n \u25b2 \u25b2\n \u2502 \u2502\n \u250c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2534\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2510 \u250c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2534\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2510\n \u2502 AuthPolicy \u2502 \u2502 AuthPolicy \u2502\n \u2502 (policy-1) \u2502 \u2502 (policy-2) \u2502\n \u2514\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2518 \u2514\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2518\n
In the example above, with the policy-1 resource created before policy-2, policy-1 will be enforced on all requests to app.io/foo while policy-2 will be rejected. I.e. app.io/bar will not be secured. In fact, the status conditions of policy-2 shall reflect Enforced=false with message \"AuthPolicy has encountered some issues: AuthScheme is not ready yet\".
Notice the enforcement of policy-1 and no enforcement of policy-2 is the opposite behavior as the analogous problem with the Kuadrant RateLimitPolicy.
A slightly different way the limitation applies is when two or more routes of a gateway declare the exact same hostname and a gateway policy is defined with expectation to set default rules for the cases not covered by more specific policies. E.g.:
\u250c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2510\n \u250c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2524 AuthPolicy \u2502\n \u2502 \u2502 (policy-2) \u2502\n \u25bc \u2514\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2518\n \u250c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2510\n \u2502 Gateway \u2502\n \u251c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2524\n \u250c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u25ba\u2502 listeners: \u2502\u25c4\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2510\n \u2502 \u2502 - host: *.io \u2502 \u2502\n \u2502 \u2514\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2518 \u2502\n \u2502 \u2502\n \u2502 \u2502\n\u250c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2534\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2510 \u250c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2534\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2510\n\u2502 HTTPRoute \u2502 \u2502 HTTPRoute \u2502\n\u2502 (route-a) \u2502 \u2502 (route-b) \u2502\n\u251c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2524 \u251c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2524\n\u2502 hostnames: \u2502 \u2502 hostnames: \u2502\n\u2502 - app.io \u2502 \u2502 - app.io \u2502\n\u2502 rules: \u2502 \u2502 rules: \u2502\n\u2502 - matches: \u2502 \u2502 - matches: \u2502\n\u2502 - path: \u2502 \u2502 - path: \u2502\n\u2502 value: /foo \u2502 \u2502 value: /bar \u2502\n\u2514\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2518 \u2514\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2518\n \u25b2\n \u2502\n \u250c\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2534\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2510\n \u2502 AuthPolicy \u2502\n \u2502 (policy-1) \u2502\n \u2514\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2500\u2518\n
Once again, requests to app.io/foo will be protected under AuthPolicy policy-1, while requests to app.io/bar will not be protected under any policy at all, unlike expected gateway policy policy-2 enforced as default. Both policies will report status condition as Enforced nonetheless.
To avoid these problems, use different hostnames in each route.
"},{"location":"kuadrant-operator/doc/auth/#implementation-details","title":"Implementation details","text":"Under the hood, for each AuthPolicy, Kuadrant creates an Istio AuthorizationPolicy and an Authorino AuthConfig custom resources.
Only requests that matches the rules in the Istio AuthorizationPolicy cause an authorization request to be sent to the external authorization service (\"Authorino\"), i.e., only requests directed to the HTTPRouteRules targeted by the AuthPolicy (directly or indirectly), according to the declared top-level route selectors (if present), or all requests for which a matching HTTPRouteRule exists (otherwise).
Authorino looks up for the auth scheme (AuthConfig custom resource) to enforce using the provided hostname of the original request as key. It then checks again if the request matches at least one of the selected HTTPRouteRules, in which case it enforces the auth scheme.
Exception to the rule Due to limitations imposed by the Istio `AuthorizationPolicy`, there are a few patterns of HTTPRouteRules that cannot be translated to filters for the external authorization request. Therefore, the following patterns used in HTTPRouteMatches of top-level route selectors of an AuthPolicy will not be included in the Istio AuthorizationPolicy rules that trigger the check request with Authorino: `PathMatchRegularExpression`, `HeaderMatchRegularExpression`, and `HTTPQueryParamMatch`. As a consequence to the above, requests that do not match these rules and otherwise would not be checked with Authorino will result in a request to the external authorization service. Authorino nonetheless will still verify those patterns and ensure the auth scheme is enforced only when it matches a selected HTTPRouteRule. Users of Kuadrant may observe an unnecessary call to the authorization service in those cases where the request is out of the scope of the AuthPolicy and therefore always authorized."},{"location":"kuadrant-operator/doc/auth/#internal-custom-resources-and-namespaces","title":"Internal custom resources and namespaces","text":"While the Istio AuthorizationPolicy needs to be created in the same namespace as the gateway workload, the Authorino AuthConfig is created in the namespace of the AuthPolicy itself.

In the example above, with the policy-1 resource created before policy-2, policy-2 will be enforced on all requests to app.io/bar while policy-1 will not be enforced at all. I.e. app.io/foo will not be rate-limited. Nevertheless, both policies will report status condition as Enforced.
Notice the enforcement of policy-2 and no enforcement of policy-1 is the opposite behavior as the analogous problem with the Kuadrant AuthPolicy.
A different way the limitation applies is when two or more routes of a gateway declare the exact same hostname and a gateway policy is defined with expectation to set default rules for the cases not covered by more specific policies. E.g.:

Once again, both policies will report status condition as Enforced. However, in this case, only policy-1 will be enforced on requests to app.io/foo, while policy-2 will not be enforced at all. I.e. app.io/bar will not be not rate-limited. This is same behavior as the analogous problem with the Kuadrant AuthPolicy.
To avoid these problems, use different hostnames in each route.
"},{"location":"kuadrant-operator/doc/rate-limiting/#implementation-details","title":"Implementation details","text":"Driven by limitations related to how Istio injects configuration in the filter chains of the ingress gateways, Kuadrant relies on Envoy's Wasm Network filter in the data plane, to manage the integration with rate limiting service (\"Limitador\"), instead of the Rate Limit filter.
Motivation: Multiple rate limit domains The first limitation comes from having only one filter chain per listener. This often leads to one single global rate limiting filter configuration per gateway, and therefore to a shared rate limit domain across applications and policies. Even though, in a rate limit filter, the triggering of rate limit calls, via actions to build so-called \"descriptors\", can be defined at the level of the virtual host and/or specific route rule, the overall rate limit configuration is only one, i.e., always the same rate limit domain for all calls to Limitador.
On the other hand, the possibility to configure and invoke the rate limit service for multiple domains depending on the context allows to isolate groups of policy rules, as well as to optimize performance in the rate limit service, which can rely on the domain for indexation.
Motivation: Fine-grained matching rules A second limitation of configuring the rate limit filter via Istio, particularly from Gateway API resources, is that rate limit descriptors at the level of a specific HTTP route rule require \"named routes\" \u2013 defined only in an Istio VirtualService resource and referred in an EnvoyFilter one. Because Gateway API HTTPRoute rules lack a \"name\" property1, as well as the Istio VirtualService resources are only ephemeral data structures handled by Istio in-memory in its implementation of gateway configuration for Gateway API, where the names of individual route rules are auto-generated and not referable by users in a policy23, rate limiting by attributes of the HTTP request (e.g., path, method, headers, etc) would be very limited while depending only on Envoy's Rate Limit filter.
Motivated by the desire to support multiple rate limit domains per ingress gateway, as well as fine-grained HTTP route matching rules for rate limiting, Kuadrant implements a wasm-shim that handles the rules to invoke the rate limiting service, complying with Envoy's Rate Limit Service (RLS) protocol.
The wasm module integrates with the gateway in the data plane via Wasm Network filter, and parses a configuration composed out of user-defined RateLimitPolicy resources by the Kuadrant control plane. Whereas the rate limiting service (\"Limitador\") remains an implementation of Envoy's RLS protocol, capable of being integrated directly via Rate Limit extension or by Kuadrant, via wasm module for the Istio Gateway API implementation.
As a consequence of this design: - Users can define fine-grained rate limit rules that match their Gateway and HTTPRoute definitions including for subsections of these. - Rate limit definitions are insulated, not leaking across unrelated policies or applications. - Conditions to activate limits are evaluated in the context of the gateway process, reducing the gRPC calls to the external rate limiting service only to the cases where rate limit counters are known in advance to have to be checked/incremented. - The rate limiting service can rely on the indexation to look up for groups of limit definitions and counters. - Components remain compliant with industry protocols and flexible for different integration options.
A Kuadrant wasm-shim configuration for 2 RateLimitPolicy custom resources (a Gateway default RateLimitPolicy and a HTTPRoute RateLimitPolicy) looks like the following and it is generated automatically by the Kuadrant control plane:

While not essential, it is best to set up an OpenShift monitoring stack. This section provides links to OpenShift and Thanos documentation on configuring monitoring and metrics storage.
You can set up user-facing monitoring by following the steps in the OpenShift documentation on configuring the monitoring stack.
If you have user workload monitoring enabled, it is best to configure remote writes to a central storage system such as Thanos:
- OpenShift remote write configuration
- Kube Thanos
The example dashboards and alerts for observing Kuadrant functionality use low-level CPU metrics and network metrics available from the user monitoring stack in OpenShift. They also use resource state metrics from Gateway API and Kuadrant resources.
To scrape these additional metrics, you can install a kube-state-metrics instance, with a custom resource configuration as follows:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kuadrant/kuadrant-operator/main/config/observability/openshift/kube-state-metrics.yaml\nkubectl apply -k https://github.com/Kuadrant/gateway-api-state-metrics?ref=main\n
To enable request metrics in Istio, you must create a telemetry resource as follows:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kuadrant/kuadrant-operator/main/config/observability/openshift/telemetry.yaml\n
If you have Grafana installed in your cluster, you can import the example dashboards and alerts.

These low-level metrics typically have a set of recording rules that aggregate values by labels and time ranges. For example, node_namespace_pod_container:container_cpu_usage_seconds_total:sum_irate or namespace_workload_pod:kube_pod_owner:relabel.

One of the main metrics would be istio_requests_total, which is a counter incremented for every request handled by an Istio proxy. Latency metrics are available via the istio_request_duration_milliseconds metric, with buckets for varying response times.
Some example dashboards have panels that make use of the request URL path. The path is not added as a label to Istio metrics by default, as it has the potential to increase metric cardinality, and thus storage requirements. If you want to make use of the path in your queries or visualisations, you can enable the request path metric via the Telemetry resource in istio:

A lot of the time it can be useful to tie back low level metrics to more meaningful Kubernetes resources. For example, if the memory usage is maxed out on a container and that container is constantly being OOMKilled, it can be useful to get the Deployment and Namespace of that container for debugging. Prometheus query language (or promql) allows vector matching or results (sometimes called joining).
When using Gateway API and Kuadrant resources like HTTPRoute and RateLimitPolicy, the state metrics can be joined to Istio metrics to give a meaningful result set. Here's an example that queries the number of requests per second, and includes the name of the HTTPRoute that the traffic is for.
sum(\n rate(\n istio_requests_total{}[5m]\n )\n) by (destination_service_name)\n\n* on(destination_service_name) group_right \n label_replace(gatewayapi_httproute_labels{}, \\\"destination_service_name\\\", \\\"$1\\\",\\\"service\\\", \\\"(.+)\\\")\n
Breaking this query down, there are 2 parts. The first part is getting the rate of requests hitting the Istio gateway, aggregated to 5m intervals:
sum(\n rate(\n destination_service_name{}[5m]\n )\n) by (destination_service_name)\n
The result set here will include a label for the destination service name (i.e. the Service in Kubernetes). This label is key to looking up the HTTPRoute this traffic belongs to.
The 2nd part of the query uses the gatewayapi_httproute_labels metric and the label_replace function. The gatewayapi_httproute_labels metric gives a list of all httproutes, including any labels on them. The HTTPRoute in this example has a label called 'service', set to be the same as the Istio service name. This allows us to join the 2 results set. However, because the label doesn't match exactly (destination_service_name and service), we can replace the label so that it does match. That's what the label_replace does.
label_replace(gatewayapi_httproute_labels{}, \\\"destination_service_name\\\", \\\"$1\\\",\\\"service\\\", \\\"(.+)\\\")\n
The 2 parts are joined together using vector matching.
* on(destination_service_name) group_right \n
* is the binary operator i.e. multiplication (gives join like behaviour)on() specifies which labels to \"join\" the 2 results withgroup_right enables a one to many matching.

Once the changes are applied, the authorino and limitador components will be redeployed tracing enabled.
Note:
There are plans to consolidate the tracing configuration to a single location i.e. the Kuadrant CR. This will eventually eliminate the need to configure tracing in both the Authorino and Limitador CRs.
Important:
Currently, trace IDs do not propagate to wasm modules in Istio/Envoy, affecting trace continuity in Limitador. This means that requests passed to limitador will not have the relavant 'parent' trace ID in its trace information. If however the trace initiation point is outside of Envoy/Istio, the 'parent' trace ID will be available to limitador and included in traces passed to the collector. This has an impact on correlating traces from limitador with traces from authorino, the gateway and any other components in the path of requests.
"},{"location":"kuadrant-operator/doc/observability/tracing/#troubleshooting-flow-using-traces-and-logs","title":"Troubleshooting Flow Using Traces and Logs","text":"Using a tracing interface like the Jaeger UI or Grafana, you can search for trace information by the trace ID. You may get the trace ID from logs, or from a header in a sample request you want to troubleshoot. You can also search for recent traces, filtering by the service you want to focus on.
Here is an example trace in the Grafana UI showing the total request time from the gateway (Istio), the time to check the curent rate limit count (and update it) in limitador and the time to check auth in Authorino:
In limitador, it is possible to enable request logging with trace IDs to get more information on requests. This requires the log level to be increased to at least debug, so the verbosity must be set to 3 or higher in the Limitador CR. For example:
apiVersion: limitador.kuadrant.io/v1alpha1\nkind: Limitador\nmetadata:\n name: limitador\nspec:\n verbosity: 3\n
A log entry will look something like this, with the traceparent field holding the trace ID:
\"Request received: Request { metadata: MetadataMap { headers: {\"te\": \"trailers\", \"grpc-timeout\": \"5000m\", \"content-type\": \"application/grpc\", \"traceparent\": \"00-4a2a933a23df267aed612f4694b32141-00f067aa0ba902b7-01\", \"x-envoy-internal\": \"true\", \"x-envoy-expected-rq-timeout-ms\": \"5000\"} }, message: RateLimitRequest { domain: \"default/toystore\", descriptors: [RateLimitDescriptor { entries: [Entry { key: \"limit.general_user__f5646550\", value: \"1\" }, Entry { key: \"metadata.filter_metadata.envoy\\\\.filters\\\\.http\\\\.ext_authz.identity.userid\", value: \"alice\" }], limit: None }], hits_addend: 1 }, extensions: Extensions }\"\n
If you centrally aggregate logs using something like promtail and loki, you can jump between trace information and the relevant logs for that service:
Using a combination of tracing and logs, you can visualise and troubleshoot reuqest timing issues and drill down to specific services. This method becomes even more powerful when combined with metrics and dashboards to get a more complete picture of your users traffic.

-
rules (optional): Rules allow matching hosts and/or methods and/or paths. Matching occurs when at least one rule applies against the incoming request. If rules are not set, it is equivalent to matching all the requests.
-
configurations (required): Specifies a set of rate limit configurations that could be applied. The rate limit configuration object is the equivalent of the config.route.v3.RateLimit envoy object. One configuration is, in turn, a list of rate limit actions. Each action populates a descriptor entry. A vector of descriptor entries compose a descriptor. Each configuration produces, at most, one descriptor. Depending on the incoming request, one configuration may or may not produce a rate limit descriptor. These rate limiting configuration rules provide flexibility to produce multiple descriptors. For example, you may want to define one generic rate limit descriptor and another descriptor depending on some header. If the header does not exist, the second descriptor is not generated, but traffic keeps being rate limited based on the generic descriptor.

To decide whether the route selector selects a HTTPRouteRule or not, for each pair of route selector HTTPRouteMatch and HTTPRoute HTTPRouteMatch: 1. The route selector selects the HTTPRoute's HTTPRouteRule if the HTTPRouteRule contains at least one HTTPRouteMatch that specifies fields that are literally identical to all the fields specified by at least one HTTPRouteMatch of the route selector. 2. A HTTPRouteMatch within a HTTPRouteRule may include other fields that are not specified in a route selector match, and yet the route selector match selects the HTTPRouteRule if all fields of the route selector match are identically included in the HTTPRouteRule's HTTPRouteMatch; the opposite is NOT true. 3. Each field path of a HTTPRouteMatch, as well as each field method of a HTTPRouteMatch, as well as each element of the fields headers and queryParams of a HTTPRouteMatch, is atomic \u2013 this is true for the HTTPRouteMatches within a HTTPRouteRule, as well as for HTTPRouteMatches of a route selector.
Additionally, at least one hostname specified in a route selector must identically match one of the hostnames specified (or inherited, when omitted) by the targeted HTTPRoute.
The semantics of the route selectors allows to assertively relate policy rule definitions to routing rules, with benefits for identifying the subsets of the network that are covered by a policy rule, while preventing unreachable definitions, as well as the overhead associated with the maintenance of such rules across multiple resources throughout time, according to network topology beneath. Moreover, the requirement of not having to be a full copy of the targeted HTTPRouteRule matches, but only partially identical, helps prevent repetition to some degree, as well as it enables to more easily define policy rules that scope across multiple HTTPRouteRules (by specifying less rules in the selector).
"},{"location":"kuadrant-operator/doc/reference/route-selectors/#golden-rules-and-corner-cases","title":"Golden rules and corner cases","text":"A few rules and corner cases to keep in mind while using the RLP's routeSelectors: 1. The golden rule \u2013 The route selectors in a policy or policy rule are not to be interpreted as the route matching rules that activate the policy or policy rule, but as selectors of the route rules that activate the policy or policy rule. 2. Due to (1) above, this can lead to cases, e.g., where a route selector that states matches: [{ method: POST }] selects a HTTPRouteRule that defines matches: [{ method: POST }, { method: GET }], effectively causing the policy or policy rule to be activated on requests to the HTTP method POST, but also to the HTTP method GET. 3. The requirement for the route selector match to state patterns that are identical to the patterns stated by the HTTPRouteRule (partially or entirely) makes, e.g., a route selector such as matches: { path: { type: PathPrefix, value: /foo } } to select a HTTPRouteRule that defines matches: { path: { type: PathPrefix, value: /foo }, method: GET }, but not to select a HTTPRouteRule that only defines matches: { method: GET }, even though the latter includes technically all HTTP paths; nor it selects a HTTPRouteRule that only defines matches: { path: { type: Exact, value: /foo } }, even though all requests to the exact path /foo are also technically requests to /foo*. 4. The atomicity property of fields of the route selectors makes, e.g., a route selector such as matches: { path: { value: /foo } } to select a HTTPRouteRule that defines matches: { path: { value: /foo } }, but not to select a HTTPRouteRule that only defines matches: { path: { type: PathPrefix, value: /foo } }. (This case may actually never happen because PathPrefix is the default value for path.type and will be set automatically by the Kubernetes API server.)
Due to the nature of route selectors of defining pointers to HTTPRouteRules, the routeSelectors field is not supported in a RLP that targets a Gateway resource.

Authenticated rate limiting rate limits the traffic directed to an application based on attributes of the client user, who is authenticated by some authentication method. A few examples of authenticated rate limiting use cases are:
- User A can send up to 50rps (\"requests per second\"), while User B can send up to 100rps.
- Each user can send up to 20rpm (\"request per minute\").
- Admin users (members of the 'admin' group) can send up to 100rps, while regular users (non-admins) can send up to 20rpm and no more than 5rps.
In this guide, we will rate limit a sample REST API called Toy Store. In reality, this API is just an echo service that echoes back to the user whatever attributes it gets in the request. The API exposes an endpoint at GET http://api.toystore.com/toy, to mimic an operation of reading toy records.
We will define 2 users of the API, which can send requests to the API at different rates, based on their user IDs. The authentication method used is API key.

- authentication based OpenId Connect (OIDC) ID tokens (signed JWTs), issued by a Keycloak server;

- authorization delegated to Kubernetes RBAC system;
- rate limiting by user ID.
In this example, we will protect a sample REST API called Toy Store. In reality, this API is just an echo service that echoes back to the user whatever attributes it gets in the request.
The API listens to requests at the hostnames *.toystore.com, where it exposes the endpoints GET /toy*, POST /admin/toy and DELETE /amind/toy, respectively, to mimic operations of reading, creating, and deleting toy records.
Any authenticated user/service account can send requests to the Toy Store API, by providing either a valid Keycloak-issued access token or Kubernetes token.
Privileges to execute the requested operation (read, create or delete) will be granted according to the following RBAC rules, stored in the Kubernetes authorization system:
Operation Endpoint Required role Read GET /toy* toystore-reader Create POST /admin/toy toystore-write Delete DELETE /admin/toy toystore-write Each user will be entitled to a maximum of 5rp10s (5 requests every 10 seconds).

Q: Can I use Roles and RoleBindings instead of ClusterRoles and ClusterRoleBindings? Yes, you can.
The example above is for non-resource URL Kubernetes roles. For using Roles and RoleBindings instead of ClusterRoles and ClusterRoleBindings, thus more flexible resource-based permissions to protect the API, see the spec for Kubernetes SubjectAccessReview authorization in the Authorino docs.

RateLimitPolicy. - Global auth: You can configure a Kuadrant
AuthPolicy to leverage external auth providers to ensure that different clusters exposing the same API authenticate and authorize in the same way. - Integration with federated metrics stores: Kuadrant has example dashboards and metrics for visualizing your Gateways and observing traffic hitting those Gateways across multiple clusters.

You should get a 200 from the following GET because it has no auth requirement:
curl -s -k -o /dev/null -w \"%{http_code}\" \"https://$(kubectl get httproute toystore -n ${devNS} -o=jsonpath='{.spec.hostnames[0]}')/v1/toys\"\n
You should get a 401 for the following POST request because it does not have any auth requirements:
curl -XPOST -s -k -o /dev/null -w \"%{http_code}\" \"https://$(kubectl get httproute toystore -n ${devNS} -o=jsonpath='{.spec.hostnames[0]}')/v1/toys\"\n
Finally, if you add your API key header, with a valid key as follows, you should get a 200 response:
curl -XPOST -H 'api_key: secret' -s -k -o /dev/null -w \"%{http_code}\" \"https://$(kubectl get httproute toystore -n ${devNS} -o=jsonpath='{.spec.hostnames[0]}')/v1/toys\"\n

"},{"location":"kuadrant-operator/doc/user-guides/secure-protect-connect/#overview","title":"Overview","text":"In this guide, we will cover the different policies from Kuadrant and how you can use them to secure, protect and connect an Istio-controlled gateway in a single cluster, and how you can set more refined protection on the HTTPRoutes exposed by that gateway.
Here are the steps we will go through:
1) Deploy a sample application
2) Define a new Gateway
3) Ensure TLS-based secure connectivity to the gateway with a TLSPolicy
4) Define a default RateLimitPolicy to set some infrastructure limits on your gateway
5) Define a default AuthPolicy to deny all access to the gateway
6) Define a DNSPolicy to bring traffic to the gateway
7) Override the Gateway's deny-all AuthPolicy with an endpoint-specific policy
8) Override the Gateway rate limits with an endpoint-specific policy
You will need to set the KUBECTL_CONTEXT environment variable for the kubectl context of the cluster you are targeting. If you have followed the single cluster setup, it should be something like below. Adjust the name of the cluster accordingly if you have followed the multi cluster setup.
#\u00a0Typical single cluster context\nexport KUBECTL_CONTEXT=kind-kuadrant-local\n\n# Example context for additional 'multi cluster' clusters\n# export KUBECTL_CONTEXT=kind-kuadrant-local-1\n
To help with this walk through, you should also set a KUADRANT_ZONE_ROOT_DOMAIN environment variable to a domain you want to use. If you want to try DNSPolicy, this should also be a domain you have access to the DNS for in AWS Route53 or GCP. E.g.:
export KUADRANT_ZONE_ROOT_DOMAIN=my.domain.iown\n

If you take a look at the gateway status, you will see a TLS status error similar to the following:
message: invalid certificate reference /Secret/apps-hcpapps-tls. secret kuadrant-system/apps-hcpapps-tls not found\n
This is because currently there is not a TLS secret in place. Let's fix that by creating a TLSPolicy.

Now, if you look at the status of the gateway, you will see the error is gone, and the status of the policy will report the listener as now secured with a TLS certificate and the gateway as affected by the TLS policy.
Our communication with our gateway is now secured via TLS. Note that any new listeners will also be handled by the TLSPolicy.
Let's define a HTTPRoute and test our policy. We will re-use this later on with some of the other policies as well.

Authorino implements Envoy Proxy's external authorization gRPC protocol, and is a part of Red Hat Kuadrant architecture.
Under the hood, Authorino is based on Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions and the Operator pattern.
Bootstrap and configuration:
- Deploy the service/API to be protected (\"Upstream\"), Authorino and Envoy
- Write and apply an Authorino
AuthConfig Custom Resource associated to the public host of the service
Request-time:
- A user or service account (\"Consumer\") obtains an access token to consume resources of the Upstream service, and sends a request to the Envoy ingress endpoint
- The Envoy proxy establishes fast gRPC connection with Authorino carrying data of the HTTP request (context info), which causes Authorino to lookup for an
AuthConfig Custom Resource to enforce (pre-cached) - Identity verification (authentication) phase - Authorino verifies the identity of the consumer, where at least one authentication method/identity provider must go through
- External metadata phase - Authorino fetches additional metadata for the authorization from external sources (optional)
- Policy enforcement (authorization) phase - Authorino takes as input a JSON composed out of context data, resolved identity object and fetched additional metadata from previous phases, and triggers the evaluation of user-defined authorization policies
- Response (metadata-out) phase \u2013 Authorino builds user-defined custom responses (dynamic JSON objects and/or Festival Wristband OIDC tokens), to be supplied back to the client and/or upstream service within added HTTP headers or as Envoy Dynamic Metadata (optional)
- Callbacks phase \u2013 Authorino sends callbacks to specified HTTP endpoints (optional)
- Authorino and Envoy settle the authorization protocol with either OK/NOK response
- If authorized, Envoy triggers other HTTP filters in the chain (if any), pre-injecting eventual dynamic metadata returned by Authorino, and ultimately redirects the request to the Upstream
- The Upstream serves the requested resource to the consumer
More The Architecture section of the docs covers details of protecting your APIs with Envoy and Authorino, including information about topology (centralized gateway, centralized authorization service or sidecars), deployment modes (cluster-wide reconciliation vs. namespaced instances), an specification of Authorino's AuthConfig Custom Resource Definition (CRD) and more.
You will also find in that section information about what happens in request-time (aka Authorino's Auth Pipeline) and how to leverage the Authorization JSON for writing policies, dynamic responses and other features of Authorino.

"},{"location":"authorino/#faq","title":"FAQ","text":"Do I need to deploy Envoy? Authorino is built from the ground up to work well with Envoy. It is strongly recommended that you leverage Envoy along side Authorino. That said, it is possible to use Authorino without Envoy.
Authorino implements Envoy's external authorization gRPC protocol and therefore will accept any client request that complies.
Authorino also provides a second interface for raw HTTP authorization, suitable for using with Kubernetes ValidatingWebhook and other integrations (e.g. other proxies).
The only attribute of the authorization request that is strictly required is the host name. (See Host lookup for more information.) The other attributes, such as method, path, headers, etc, might as well be required, depending on each AuthConfig. In the case of the gRPC CheckRequest method, the host is supplied in Attributes.Request.Http.Host and alternatively in Attributes.ContextExtensions[\"host\"]. For raw HTTP authorization requests, the host must be supplied in Host HTTP header.
Check out Kuadrant for easy-to-use Envoy and Authorino deployment & configuration for API management use-cases, using Kubernetes Custom Resources.
Is Authorino an Identity Provider (IdP)? No, Authorino is not an Identity Provider (IdP). Neither it is an auth server of any kind, such as an OAuth2 server, an OpenID Connect (OIDC) server, a Single Sign On (SSO) server.
Authorino is not an identity broker either. It can verify access tokens from multiple trusted sources of identity and protocols, but it will not negotiate authentication flows for non-authenticated access requests. Some tricks nonetheless can be done, for example, to redirect unauthenticated users to a login page.
For an excellent auth server that checks all the boxes above, check out Keycloak.
How does Authorino compare to Keycloak? Keycloak is a proper auth server and identity provider (IdP). It offers a huge set of features for managing identities, identity sources with multiple user federation options, and a platform for authentication and authorization services.
Keycloak exposes authenticators that implement protocols such as OpenID Connect. The is a one-time flow that establishes the delegation of power to a client, for a short period of time. To be consistent with Zero Trust security, you want a validator to verify the short-lived tokens in every request that tries to reach your protected service/resource. This step that will repeat everytime could save heavy looking up into big tables of tokens and leverage cached authorization policies for fast in-memory evaluation. This is where Authorino comes in.
Authorino verifies and validates Keycloak-issued ID tokens. OpenID Connect Discovery is used to request and cache JSON Web Key Sets (JWKS), used to verify the signature of the tokens without having to contact again with the Keycloak server, or looking in a table of credentials. Moreover, user long-lived credentials are safe, rather than spread in hops across the network.
You can also use Keycloak for storing auth-relevant resource metadata. These can be fetched by Authorino in request-time, to be combined into your authorization policies. See Keycloak Authorization Services and User-Managed Access (UMA) support, as well as Authorino UMA external metadata counter-part.
Why doesn't Authorino handle OAuth flows? It has to do with trust. OAuth grants are supposed to be negotiated directly between whoever owns the long-lived credentials in one hand (user, service accounts), and the trustworthy auth server that receives those credentials \u2013 ideally with minimum number of hops in the middle \u2013 and exchanges them for short-lived access tokens, on the other end.
There are use-cases for Authorino running in the edge (e.g. Edge Authentication Architecture and token normalization), but in most cases Authorino should be seen as a last-mile component that provides decoupled identity verification and authorization policy enforcement to protected services in request-time. In this sense, the OAuth grant is a pre-flight exchange that happens once and as direct and safe as possible, whereas auth enforcement is kept lightweight and efficient.
Where does Authorino store users and roles? Authorino does not store users, roles, role bindings, access control lists, or any raw authorization data. Authorino handles policies, where even these policies can be stored elsewhere (as opposed to stated inline inside of an Authorino AuthConfig CR).
Authorino evaluates policies for stateless authorization requests. Any additional context is either resolved from the provided payload or static definitions inside the policies. That includes extracting user information from a JWT or client TLS certificate, requesting user metadata from opaque authentication tokens (e.g. API keys) to the trusted sources actually storing that content, obtaining synchronous HTTP metadata from services, etc.
In the case of authentication with API keys, as well as its derivative to model HTTP Basic Auth, user data are stored in Kubernetes Secrets. The secret's keys, annotations and labels are usually the structures used to organize the data that later a policy evaluated in Authorino may require. Strictly, those are not Authorino data structures.
Can't I just use Envoy JWT Authentication and RBAC filters? Envoy's JWT Authentication works pretty much similar to Authorino's JOSE/JWT verification and validation for OpenID Connect. In both cases, the JSON Web Key Sets (JWKS) to verify the JWTs are auto-loaded and cached to be used in request-time. Moreover, you can configure for details such as where to extract the JWT from the HTTP request (header, param or cookie) and do some cool tricks regarding how dynamic metadata based on JWT claims can be injected to consecutive filters in the chain.
However, in terms of authorization, while Envoy's implementation essentially allows to check for the list of audiences (aud JWT claim), Authorino opens up for a lot more options such as pattern-matching rules with operators and conditionals, built-in OPA and other methods of evaluating authorization policies.
Authorino also allows to combine JWT authentication with other types of authentication to support different sources of identity and groups of users such as API keys, Kubernetes tokens, OAuth opaque tokens , etc.
In summary, Envoy's JWT Authentication and Envoy RBAC filter are excellent solutions for simple use-cases where JWTs from one single issuer is the only authentication method you are planning to support and limited to no authorization rules suffice. On the other hand, if you need to integrate more identity sources, different types of authentication, authorization policies, etc, you might to consider Authorino.
Should I use Authorino if I already have Istio configured? Istio is a great solution for managing service meshes. It delivers an excellent platform with an interesting layer of abstraction on top of Envoy proxy's virtual omnipresence within the mesh.
There are lots of similarities, but also complementarity between Authorino and Istio and Istio Authorization in special.
Istio provides a simple way to enable features that are, in many cases, features of Envoy, such as authorization based on JWTs, authorization based on attributes of the request, and activation of external authorization services, without having to deal with complex Envoy config files. See Kuadrant for a similar approach, nonetheless leveraging features of Istio as well.
Authorino is an Envoy-compatible external authorization service. One can use Authorino with or without Istio.
In particular, Istio Authorization Policies can be seen, in terms of functionality and expressiveness, as a subset of one type of authorization policies supported by Authorino, the pattern-matching authorization policies. While Istio, however, is heavily focused on specific use cases of API Management, offering a relatively limited list of supported attribute conditions, Authorino is more generic, allowing to express authorization rules for a wider spectrum of use cases \u2013 ACLs, RBAC, ABAC, etc, pretty much counting on any attribute of the Envoy payload, identity object and external metadata available.
Authorino also provides built-in OPA authorization, several other methods of authentication and identity verification (e.g. Kubernetes token validation, API key-based authentication, OAuth token introspection, OIDC-discoverable JWT verification, etc), and features like fetching of external metadata (HTTP services, OIDC userinfo, UMA resource data), token normalization, wristband tokens and dynamic responses. These all can be used independently or combined, in a simple and straightforward Kubernetes-native fashion.
In summary, one might value Authorino when looking for a policy enforcer that offers:
- multiple supported methods and protocols for rather hybrid authentication, encompassing future and legacy auth needs;
- broader expressiveness and more functionalities for the authorization rules;
- authentication and authorization in one single declarative manifest;
- capability to fetch auth metadata from external sources on-the-fly;
- built-in OPA module;
- easy token normalization and/or aiming for Edge Authentication Architecture (EAA).
The good news is that, if you have Istio configured, then you have Envoy and the whole platform for wiring Authorino up if you want to. \ud83d\ude09
Do I have to learn OPA/Rego language to use Authorino? No, you do not. However, if you are comfortable with Rego from Open Policy Agent (OPA), there are some quite interesting things you can do in Authorino, just as you would in any OPA server or OPA plugin, but leveraging Authorino's built-in OPA module instead. Authorino's OPA module is compiled as part of Authorino's code directly from the Golang packages, and imposes no extra latency to the evaluation of your authorization policies. Even the policies themselves are pre-compiled in reconciliation-time, for fast evaluation afterwards, in request-time.
On the other hand, if you do not want to learn Rego or in any case would like to combine it with declarative and Kubernetes-native authN/authZ spec for your services, Authorino does complement OPA with at least two other methods for expressing authorization policies \u2013 i.e. pattern-matching authorization and Kubernetes SubjectAccessReview, the latter allowing to rely completely on the Kubernetes RBAC.
You break down, mix and combine these methods and technolgies in as many authorization policies as you want, potentially applying them according to specific conditions. Authorino will trigger the evaluation of concurrent policies in parallel, aborting the context if any of the processes denies access.
Authorino also packages well-established industry standards and protocols for identity verification (JOSE/JWT validation, OAuth token introspection, Kubernetes TokenReview) and ad-hoc request-time metadata fetching (OIDC userinfo, User-Managed Access (UMA)), and corresponding layers of caching, without which such functionalities would have to be implemented by code.
Can I use Authorino to protect non-REST APIs? Yes, you can. In principle, the API format (REST, gRPC, GraphQL, etc) should not matter for the authN/authZ enforcer. There are a couple points to consider though.
While REST APIs are designed in a way that, in most cases, information usually needed for the evaluation of authorization policies are available in the metadata of the HTTP request (method, path, headers), other API formats quite often will require processing of the HTTP body. By default, Envoy's external authorization HTTP filter will not forward the body of the request to Authorino; to change that, enable the with_request_body option in the Envoy configuration for the external authorization filter. E.g.:
with_request_body:\n max_request_bytes: 1024\n allow_partial_message: true\n pack_as_bytes: true\n
Additionally, when enabling the request body passed in the payload to Authorino, parsing of the content should be of concern as well. Authorino provides easy access to attributes of the HTTP request, parsed as part of the Authorization JSON, however the body of the request is passed as string and should be parsed by the user according to each case.
Check out Authorino OPA authorization and the Rego Encoding functions for options to parse serialized JSON, YAML and URL-encoded params. For XML transformation, an external parsing service connected via Authorino's HTTP GET/GET-by-POST external metadata might be required.
Can I run Authorino other than on Kubernetes? As of today, no, you cannot, or at least it wouldn't suit production requirements.
Do I have to be admin of the cluster to install Authorino? To install the Authorino Custom Resource Definition (CRD) and to define cluster roles required by the Authorino service, admin privilege to the Kubernetes cluster is required. This step happens only once per cluster and is usually equivalent to installing the Authorino Operator.
Thereafter, deploying instances of the Authorino service and applying AuthConfig custom resources to a namespace depend on the permissions set by the cluster administrator \u2013 either directly by editing the bindings in the cluster's RBAC, or via options of the operator. In most cases, developers will be granted permissions to create and manage AuthConfigs, and sometimes to deploy their own instances of Authorino.
Is it OK to store AuthN/AuthZ configs as Kubernetes objects? Authorino's API checks all the bullets to be aggregated to the Kubernetes cluster APIs, and therefore using Custom Resource Definition (CRD) and the Operator pattern has always been an easy design decision.
By merging the definitions of service authN/authZ to the control plane, Authorino AuthConfig resources can be thought as extensions of the specs of the desired state of services regarding the data flow security. The Authorino custom controllers, built-in into the authorization service, are the agents that read from that desired state and reconcile the processes operating in the data plane.
Authorino is declarative and seamless for developers and cluster administrators managing the state of security of the applications running in the server, used to tools such as kubectl, the Kubernetes UI and its dashboards. Instead of learning about yet another configuration API format, Authorino users can jump straight to applying and editing YAML or JSON structures they already know, in a way that things such as spec, status, namespace and labels have the meaning they are expected to have, and docs are as close as kubectl explain. Moreover, Authorino does not pile up any other redundant layers of APIs, event-processing, RBAC, transformation and validation webhooks, etc. It is Kubernetes in its best.
In terms of scale, Authorino AuthConfigs should grow proportionally to the number of protected services, virtually limited by nothing but the Kubernetes API data storage, while namespace division and label selectors help adjust horizontally and keep distributed.
In other words, there are lots of benefits of using Kubernetes custom resources and custom controllers, and unless you are planning on bursting your server with more services than it can keep record, it is totally \ud83d\udc4d to store your AuthN/AuthZ configs as cluster API objects.
Can I use Authorino for rate limiting? You can, but you shouldn't. Check out instead Limitador, for simple and efficient global rate limiting. Combine it with Authorino and Authorino's support for Envoy Dynamic Metadata for authenticated rate limiting.

The main components are: Authorino, Envoy and the Upstream service to be protected. Envoy proxies requests to the configured virtual host upstream service, first contacting with Authorino to decide on authN/authZ.
The topology can vary from centralized proxy and centralized authorization service, to dedicated sidecars, with the nuances in between. Read more about the topologies in the Topologies section below.
Authorino is deployed using the Authorino Operator, from an Authorino Kubernetes custom resource. Then, from another kind of custom resource, the AuthConfig CRs, each Authorino instance reads and adds to the index the exact rules of authN/authZ to enforce for each protected host (\"index reconciliation\").
Everything that the AuthConfig reconciler can fetch in reconciliation-time is stored in the index. This is the case of static parameters such as signing keys, authentication secrets and authorization policies from external policy registries.
AuthConfigs can refer to identity providers (IdP) and trusted auth servers whose access tokens will be accepted to authenticate to the protected host. Consumers obtain an authentication token (short-lived access token or long-lived API key) and send those in the requests to the protected service.
When Authorino is triggered by Envoy via the gRPC interface, it starts evaluating the Auth Pipeline, i.e. it applies to the request the parameters to verify the identity and to enforce authorization, as found in the index for the requested host (See host lookup for details).
Apart from static rules, these parameters can include instructions to contact online with external identity verifiers, external sources of metadata and policy decision points (PDPs).
On every request, Authorino's \"working memory\" is called Authorization JSON, a data structure that holds information about the context (the HTTP request) and objects from each phase of the auth pipeline: i.e., authentication verification (phase i), ad-hoc metadata fetching (phase ii), authorization policy enforcement (phase iii), dynamic response (phase iv), and callbacks (phase v). The evaluators in each of these phases can both read and write from the Authorization JSON for dynamic steps and decisions of authN/authZ.
"},{"location":"authorino/docs/architecture/#topologies","title":"Topologies","text":"Typically, upstream APIs are deployed to the same Kubernetes cluster and namespace where the Envoy proxy and Authorino is running (although not necessarily). Whatever is the case, Envoy must be proxying to the upstream API (see Envoy's HTTP route components and virtual hosts) and pointing to Authorino in the external authorization filter.
This can be achieved with different topologies:
- Envoy can be a centralized gateway with one dedicated instance of Authorino, proxying to one or more upstream services
- Envoy can be deployed as a sidecar of each protected service, but still contacting from a centralized Authorino authorization service
- Both Envoy and Authorino deployed as sidecars of the protected service, restricting all communication between them to localhost
Each topology above induces different measures for security.

Namespace-scoped instances only watch resources (AuthConfigs and Secrets) created in a given namespace. This deployment mode does not require admin privileges over the Kubernetes cluster to deploy the instance of the service (given Authorino's CRDs have been installed beforehand, such as when Authorino is installed using the Authorino Operator).
Cluster-wide deployment mode, in contraposition, deploys instances of Authorino that watch resources across the entire cluster, consolidating all resources into a multi-namespace index of auth configs. Admin privileges over the Kubernetes cluster is required to deploy Authorino in cluster-wide mode.
Be careful to avoid superposition when combining multiple Authorino instances and instance modes in the same Kubernetes cluster. Apart from caching unnecessary auth config data in the instances depending on your routing settings, the leaders of each instance (set of replicas) may compete for updating the status of the custom resources that are reconciled. See Resource reconciliation and status update for more information.
If necessary, use label selectors to narrow down the space of resources watched and reconciled by each Authorino instance. Check out the Sharding section below for details.

"},{"location":"authorino/docs/architecture/#resource-reconciliation-and-status-update","title":"Resource reconciliation and status update","text":"The instances of the Authorino authorization service workload, following the Operator pattern, watch events related to the AuthConfig custom resources, to build and reconcile an in-memory index of configs. Whenever a replica receives traffic for authorization request, it looks up in the index of AuthConfigs and then triggers the \"Auth Pipeline\", i.e. enforces the associated auth spec onto the request.
An instance can be a single authorization service workload or a set of replicas. All replicas watch and reconcile the same set of resources that match the --auth-config-label-selector and --secret-label-selector configuration options. (See both Cluster-wide vs. Namespaced instances and Sharding, for details about defining the reconciliation space of Authorino instances.)
The above means that all replicas of an Authorino instance should be able to receive traffic for authorization requests.
Among the multiple replicas of an instance, Authorino elects one replica to be leader. The leader is responsible for updating the status of reconciled AuthConfigs. If the leader eventually becomes unavailable, the instance will automatically elect another replica take its place as the new leader.
The status of an AuthConfig tells whether the resource is \"ready\" (i.e. indexed). It also includes summary information regarding the numbers of authentication configs, metadata configs, authorization configs and response configs within the spec, as well as whether Festival Wristband tokens are being issued by the Authorino instance as by spec.
Apart from watching events related to AuthConfig custom resources, Authorino also watches events related to Kubernetes Secrets, as part of Authorino's API key authentication feature. Secret resources that store API keys are linked to their corresponding AuthConfigs in the index. Whenever the Authorino instance detects a change in the set of API key Secrets linked to an AuthConfigs, the instance reconciles the index.
Authorino only watches events related to Secrets whose metadata.labels match the label selector --secret-label-selector of the Authorino instance. The default values of the label selector for Kubernetes Secrets representing Authorino API keys is authorino.kuadrant.io/managed-by=authorino.
"},{"location":"authorino/docs/architecture/#the-auth-pipeline-aka-enforcing-protection-in-request-time","title":"The \"Auth Pipeline\" (aka: enforcing protection in request-time)","text":"In each request to the protected API, Authorino triggers the so-called \"Auth Pipeline\", a set of configured evaluators that are organized in a 5-phase pipeline:
- (i) Authentication phase: at least one source of identity (i.e., one authentication config) must resolve the supplied credential in the request into a valid identity or Authorino will otherwise reject the request as unauthenticated (401 HTTP response status).
- (ii) Metadata phase: optional fetching of additional data from external sources, to add up to context and identity information, and used in authorization policies, dynamic responses and callback requests (phases iii to v).
- (iii) Authorization phase: all unskipped policies must evaluate to a positive result (\"authorized\"), or Authorino will otherwise reject the request as unauthorized (403 HTTP response code).
- (iv) Response phase \u2013 Authorino builds all user-defined response items (dynamic JSON objects and/or Festival Wristband OIDC tokens), which are supplied back to the external authorization client within added HTTP headers or as Envoy Dynamic Metadata
- (v) Callbacks phase \u2013 Authorino sends callbacks to specified HTTP endpoints.
Each phase is sequential to the other, from (i) to (v), while the evaluators within each phase are triggered concurrently or as prioritized. The Authentication phase (i) is the only one required to list at least one evaluator (i.e. 1+ authentication configs); Metadata, Authorization and Response phases can have any number of evaluators (including zero, and even be omitted in this case).
"},{"location":"authorino/docs/architecture/#host-lookup","title":"Host lookup","text":"Authorino reads the request host from Attributes.Http.Host of Envoy's CheckRequest type, and uses it as key to lookup in the index of AuthConfigs, matched against spec.hosts.
Alternatively to Attributes.Http.Host, a host entry can be supplied in the Attributes.ContextExtensions map of the external authorino request. This will take precedence before the host attribute of the HTTP request.
The host context extension is useful to support use cases such as of path prefix-based lookup and wildcard subdomains lookup with lookup strongly dictated by the external authorization client (e.g. Envoy), which often knows about routing and the expected AuthConfig to enforce beyond what Authorino can infer strictly based on the host name.
Wildcards can also be used in the host names specified in the AuthConfig, resolved by Authorino. E.g. if *.pets.com is in spec.hosts, Authorino will match the concrete host names dogs.pets.com, cats.pets.com, etc. In case, of multiple possible matches, Authorino will try the longest match first (in terms of host name labels) and fall back to the closest wildcard upwards in the domain tree (if any).
When more than one host name is specified in the AuthConfig, all of them can be used as key, i.e. all of them can be requested in the authorization request and will be mapped to the same config.
Example. Host lookup with wildcards.
The domain tree above induces the following relation:
foo.nip.io \u2192 authconfig-1 (matches *.io)talker-api.nip.io \u2192 authconfig-2 (matches talker-api.nip.io)dogs.pets.com \u2192 authconfig-2 (matches *.pets.com)api.acme.com \u2192 authconfig-3 (matches api.acme.com)www.acme.com \u2192 authconfig-4 (matches *.acme.com)foo.org \u2192 404 Not found
The host can include the port number (i.e. hostname:port) or it can be just the name of the host name. Authorino will first try finding in the index a config associated to hostname:port, as supplied in the authorization request; if the index misses an entry for hostname:port, Authorino will then remove the :port suffix and repeat the lookup using just hostname as key. This provides implicit support for multiple port numbers for a same host without having to list all combinations in the AuthConfig.
"},{"location":"authorino/docs/architecture/#avoiding-host-name-collision","title":"Avoiding host name collision","text":"Authorino tries to prevent host name collision between AuthConfigs by rejecting to link in the index any AuthConfig and host name if the host name is already linked to a different AuthConfig in the index. This was intentionally designed to prevent users from superseding each other's AuthConfigs, partially or fully, by just picking the same host names or overlapping host names as others.
When wildcards are involved, a host name that matches a host wildcard already linked in the index to another AuthConfig will be considered taken, and therefore the newest AuthConfig will be rejected to be linked to that host.
This behavior can be disabled to allow AuthConfigs to partially supersede each others' host names (limited to strict host subsets), by supplying the --allow-superseding-host-subsets command-line flag when running the Authorino instance.
"},{"location":"authorino/docs/architecture/#the-authorization-json","title":"The Authorization JSON","text":"On every Auth Pipeline, Authorino builds the Authorization JSON, a \"working-memory\" data structure composed of context (information about the request, as supplied by the Envoy proxy to Authorino) and auth (objects resolved in phases (i) to (v) of the pipeline). The evaluators of each phase can read from the Authorization JSON and implement dynamic properties and decisions based on its values.
At phase (iii), the authorization evaluators count on an Authorization JSON payload that looks like the following:
// The authorization JSON combined along Authorino's auth pipeline for each request\n{\n \"context\": { // the input from the proxy\n \"origin\": {\u2026},\n \"request\": {\n \"http\": {\n \"method\": \"\u2026\",\n \"headers\": {\u2026},\n \"path\": \"/\u2026\",\n \"host\": \"\u2026\",\n \u2026\n }\n }\n },\n \"auth\": {\n \"identity\": {\n // the identity resolved, from the supplied credentials, by one of the evaluators of phase (i)\n },\n \"metadata\": {\n // each metadata object/collection resolved by the evaluators of phase (ii), by name of the evaluator\n }\n }\n}\n
The policies evaluated can use any data from the authorization JSON to define authorization rules.
After phase (iii), Authorino appends to the authorization JSON the results of this phase as well, and the payload available for phase (iv) becomes:
// The authorization JSON combined along Authorino's auth pipeline for each request\n{\n \"context\": { // the input from the proxy\n \"origin\": {\u2026},\n \"request\": {\n \"http\": {\n \"method\": \"\u2026\",\n \"headers\": {\u2026},\n \"path\": \"/\u2026\",\n \"host\": \"\u2026\",\n \u2026\n }\n }\n },\n \"auth\": {\n \"identity\": {\n // the identity resolved, from the supplied credentials, by one of the evaluators of phase (i)\n },\n \"metadata\": {\n // each metadata object/collection resolved by the evaluators of phase (ii), by name of the evaluator\n },\n \"authorization\": {\n // each authorization policy result resolved by the evaluators of phase (iii), by name of the evaluator\n }\n }\n}\n

To support combining multiple Authorino instances and instance modes in the same Kubernetes cluster, and yet avoiding superposition between the instances (i.e. multiple instances reconciling the same AuthConfigs), Authorino offers support for data sharding, i.e. to horizontally narrow down the space of reconciliation of an Authorino instance to a subset of that space.
The benefits of limiting the space of reconciliation of an Authorino instance include avoiding unnecessary caching and workload in instances that do not receive corresponding traffic (according to your routing settings) and preventing leaders of multiple instances (sets of replicas) to compete on resource status updates (see Resource reconciliation and status update for details).
Use-cases for sharding of AuthConfigs:
- Horizontal load balancing of traffic of authorization requests
- Supporting for managed centralized instances of Authorino to API owners who create and maintain their own
AuthConfigs within their own user namespaces.
Authorino's custom controllers filter the AuthConfig-related events to be reconciled using Kubernetes label selectors, defined for the Authorino instance via --auth-config-label-selector command-line flag. By default, --auth-config-label-selector is empty, meaning all AuthConfigs in the space are watched; this variable can be set to any value parseable as a valid label selector, causing Authorino to then watch only events of AuthConfigs whose metadata.labels match the selector.
The following are all valid examples of AuthConfig label selector filters:
--auth-config-label-selector=\"authorino.kuadrant.io/managed-by=authorino\"\n--auth-config-label-selector=\"authorino.kuadrant.io/managed-by=authorino,other-label=other-value\"\n--auth-config-label-selector=\"authorino.kuadrant.io/managed-by in (authorino,kuadrant)\"\n--auth-config-label-selector=\"authorino.kuadrant.io/managed-by!=authorino-v0.4\"\n--auth-config-label-selector=\"!disabled\"\n

Analogously, OPA, pattern-matching and Kubernetes SubjectAccessReview are examples of authorization features of Authorino.
At a deeper level, a feature can also be an additional functionality within a bigger feature, usually applicable to the whole class the bigger feature belongs to. For instance, the configuration of how auth credentials expected to be carried in the request, which is broadly available for any identity verification method. Other examples are: Identity extension and Priorities.
A full specification of all features of Authorino that can be configured in an AuthConfig can be found in the official spec of the custom resource definition.
You can also learn about Authorino features by using the kubectl explain command in a Kubernetes cluster where the Authorino CRD has been installed. E.g. kubectl explain authconfigs.spec.authentication.credentials.
"},{"location":"authorino/docs/features/#common-feature-json-paths-selector","title":"Common feature: JSON paths (selector)","text":"The first feature of Authorino to learn about is a common functionality used in the specification of many other features. JSON paths are selectors of data from the Authorization JSON used in parts of an AuthConfig for referring to dynamic values of each authorization request.
Usage examples of JSON paths are: dynamic URLs and request parameters when fetching metadata from external sources, dynamic authorization policy rules, and dynamic authorization response attributes (e.g. injected HTTP headers, Festival Wristband token claims, etc).

@strip Strips out any non-printable characters such as carriage return. E.g. auth.identity.email.@strip \u2192 \"jane@petcorp.com\".
@case:upper|lower Changes the case of a string. E.g. auth.identity.username.@case:upper \u2192 \"JANE\".
@replace:{\"old\":string,\"new\":string} Replaces a substring within a string. E.g. auth.identity.username.@replace:{\"old\":\"Smith\",\"new\":\"Doe\"} \u2192 \"Jane Doe\".
@extract:{\"sep\":string,\"pos\":int} Splits a string at occurrences of a separator (default: \" \") and selects the substring at the pos-th position (default: 0). E.g. context.request.path.@extract:{\"sep\":\"/\",\"pos\":2} \u2192 123.
@base64:encode|decode base64-encodes or decodes a string value. E.g. auth.identity.username.decoded.@base64:encode \u2192 \"amFuZQo=\".

To define an API key, create a Secret in the cluster containing an api_key entry that holds the value of the API key.
API key secrets must be created in the same namespace of the AuthConfig (default) or spec.authentication.apiKey.allNamespaces must be set to true (only works with cluster-wide Authorino instances).
API key secrets must be labeled with the labels that match the selectors specified in spec.authentication.apiKey.selector in the AuthConfig.
Whenever an AuthConfig is indexed, Authorino will also index all matching API key secrets. In order for Authorino to also watch events related to API key secrets individually (e.g. new Secret created, updates, deletion/revocation), Secrets must also include a label that matches Authorino's bootstrap configuration --secret-label-selector (default: authorino.kuadrant.io/managed-by=authorino). This label may or may not be present to spec.authentication.apiKey.selector in the AuthConfig without implications for the caching of the API keys when triggered by the reconciliation of the AuthConfig; however, if not present, individual changes related to the API key secret (i.e. without touching the AuthConfig) will be ignored by the reconciler.
Example. For the following AuthConfig:
apiVersion: authorino.kuadrant.io/v1beta2\nkind: AuthConfig\nmetadata:\n name: my-api-protection\n namespace: authorino-system\nspec:\n hosts:\n - my-api.io\n authentication:\n \"api-key-users\":\n apiKey:\n selector:\n matchLabels: # the key-value set used to select the matching `Secret`s; resources including these labels will be accepted as valid API keys to authenticate to this service\n group: friends # some custom label\n allNamespaces: true # only works with cluster-wide Authorino instances; otherwise, create the API key secrets in the same namespace of the AuthConfig\n
The following Kubernetes Secret represents a valid API key:
apiVersion: v1\nkind: Secret\nmetadata:\n name: user-1-api-key-1\n namespace: default\n labels:\n authorino.kuadrant.io/managed-by: authorino # so the Authorino controller reconciles events related to this secret\n group: friends\nstringData:\n api_key: <some-randomly-generated-api-key-value>\ntype: Opaque\n

These tokens can be either ServiceAccount tokens such as the ones issued by kubelet as part of Kubernetes Service Account Token Volume Projection, or any valid user access tokens issued to users of the Kubernetes server API.
The list of audiences of the token must include the requested host and port of the protected API (default), or all audiences specified in the Authorino AuthConfig custom resource. For example:
For the following AuthConfig CR, the Kubernetes token must include the audience my-api.io:

"},{"location":"authorino/docs/features/#jwt-verification-authenticationjwt","title":"JWT verification (authentication.jwt)","text":"In reconciliation-time, using OpenID Connect Discovery well-known endpoint, Authorino automatically discovers and caches OpenID Connect configurations and associated JSON Web Key Sets (JWKS) for all OpenID Connect issuers declared in an AuthConfig. Then, in request-time, Authorino verifies the JSON Web Signature (JWS) and check the time validity of signed JSON Web Tokens (JWT) supplied on each request.
Important! Authorino does not implement OAuth2 grants nor OIDC authentication flows. As a common recommendation of good practice, obtaining and refreshing access tokens is for clients to negotiate directly with the auth servers and token issuers. Authorino will only validate those tokens using the parameters provided by the trusted issuer authorities.
The kid claim stated in the JWT header must match one of the keys cached by Authorino during OpenID Connect Discovery, therefore supporting JWK rotation.
The decoded payload of the validated JWT is appended to the authorization JSON as the resolved identity.
OpenID Connect configurations and linked JSON Web Key Sets can be configured to be automatically refreshed (pull again from the OpenID Connect Discovery well-known endpoints), by setting the authentication.jwt.ttl field (given in seconds, default: 0 \u2013 i.e. auto-refresh disabled).
For an excellent summary of the underlying concepts and standards that relate OpenID Connect and JSON Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE), see this article by Jan Rusnacko.

Authorino does not implement any of OAuth 2.0 grants for the applications to obtain the token. However, it can verify supplied tokens with the OAuth server, including opaque tokens, as long as the server exposes the token_introspect endpoint (RFC 7662).
Developers must set the token introspection endpoint in the AuthConfig, as well as a reference to the Kubernetes secret storing the credentials of the OAuth client to be used by Authorino when requesting the introspect.
The response returned by the OAuth2 server to the token introspection request is the resolved identity appended to the authorization JSON.

Trusted root Certificate Authorities (CA) are stored in Kubernetes Secrets labeled according to selectors specified in the AuthConfig, watched and indexed by Authorino. Make sure to create proper kubernetes.io/tls-typed Kubernetes Secrets, containing the public certificates of the CA stored in either a tls.crt or ca.crt entry inside the secret.
Trusted root CA secrets must be created in the same namespace of the AuthConfig (default) or spec.authentication.x509.allNamespaces must be set to true (only works with cluster-wide Authorino instances).
Client certificates must include x509 v3 extension specifying 'Client Authentication' extended key usage.
The identity object resolved out of a client x509 certificate is equal to the subject field of the certificate, and it serializes as JSON within the Authorization JSON usually as follows:

The plain identity object is retrieved from the Authorization JSON based on a JSON path specified in the AuthConfig.
This feature is particularly useful in cases where authentication/identity verification is handled before invoking the authorization service and its resolved value injected in the payload can be trusted. Examples of applications for this feature include: - Authentication handled in Envoy leveraging the Envoy JWT Authentication filter (decoded JWT injected as 'metadata_context') - Use of Authorino as Kubernetes ValidatingWebhook service (Kubernetes 'userInfo' injected in the body of the AdmissionReview request)

Values can be static or fetched from the Authorization JSON.
A typical use-case for this feature is token normalization. Say you have more than one identity source listed in your AuthConfig but each source issues an access token with a different JSON structure \u2013 e.g. two OIDC issuers that use different names for custom JWT claims of similar meaning; when two different identity verification/authentication methods are combined, such as API keys (whose identity objects are the corresponding Kubernetes Secrets) and Kubernetes tokens (whose identity objects are Kubernetes UserInfo data).
In such cases, identity extension can be used to normalize the token to always include the same set of JSON properties of interest, regardless of the source of identity that issued the original token verified by Authorino. This simplifies the writing of authorization policies and configuration of dynamic responses.
In case of extending an existing property of the identity object (replacing), the API allows to control whether to overwrite the value or not. This is particularly useful for normalizing tokens of a same identity source that nonetheless may occasionally differ in structure, such as in the case of JWT claims that sometimes may not be present but can be safely replaced with another (e.g. username or sub).

POST request parameters as well as the encoding of the content can be controlled using the bodyParameters and contentType fields of the config, respectively. The Content-Type of POST requests can be either application/x-www-form-urlencoded (default) or application/json.
Authentication of Authorino with the external metadata server can be set either via long-lived shared secret stored in a Kubernetes Secret or via OAuth2 client credentials grant. For long-lived shared secret, set the sharedSecretRef field. For OAuth2 client credentials grant, use the oauth2 option.
In both cases, the location where the secret (long-lived or OAuth2 access token) travels in the request performed to the external HTTP service can be specified in the credentials field. By default, the authentication secret is supplied in the Authorization header with the Bearer prefix.
Custom headers can be set with the headers field.

Implementation requires a JWT verification authentication config (spec.authentication.jwt) in the same AuthConfig, so the well-known configuration of the OpenId Connect (OIDC) issuer can be reused.

Since the UMA-compliant server is expected to know about the resources, Authorino includes a client that fetches resource data from the server and adds that as metadata of the authorization payload.
This enables the implementation of resource-level Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) policies. Attributes of the resource fetched in a UMA flow can be, e.g., the owner of the resource, or any business-level attributes stored in the UMA-compliant server.
A UMA-compliant server is an external authorization server (e.g., Keycloak) where the protected resources are registered. It can be as well the upstream API itself, as long as it implements the UMA protocol, with initial authentication by client_credentials grant to exchange for a Protected API Token (PAT).
It's important to notice that Authorino does NOT manage resources in the UMA-compliant server. As shown in the flow above, Authorino's UMA client is only to fetch data about the requested resources. Authorino exchanges client credentials for a Protected API Token (PAT), then queries for resources whose URI match the path of the HTTP request (as passed to Authorino by the Envoy proxy) and fetches data of each matching resource.
The resources data is added as metadata of the authorization payload and passed as input for the configured authorization policies. All resources returned by the UMA-compliant server in the query by URI are passed along. They are available in the PDPs (authorization payload) as input.auth.metadata.custom-name => Array.

Authorino wristbands include minimal standard JWT claims such as iss, iat, and exp, and optional user-defined custom claims, whose values can be static or dynamically fetched from the authorization JSON.
The Authorino AuthConfig custom resource below sets an API protection that issues a wristband after a successful authentication via API key.

Evaluators of same priority execute concurrently to each other \"in a block\". After syncing that block (i.e. after all evaluators of the block have returned), the next block of evaluator configs of consecutive priority is triggered.
Use cases for priorities are: 1. Saving expensive tasks to be triggered when there's a high chance of returning immediately after finishing executing a less expensive one \u2013 e.g. - an identity config that calls an external IdP to verify a token that is rarely used, compared to verifying JWTs preferred by most users of the service; - an authorization policy that performs some quick checks first, such as verifying allowed paths, and only if it passes, moves to the evaluation of a more expensive policy. 2. Establishing dependencies between evaluators - e.g. - an external metadata request that needs to wait until a previous metadata responds first (in order to use data from the response)
Priorities can be set using the priority property available in all evaluator configs of all phases of the Auth Pipeline (identity, metadata, authorization and response). The lower the number, the highest the priority. By default, all evaluators have priority 0 (i.e. highest priority).
Consider the following example to understand how priorities work:
apiVersion: authorino.kuadrant.io/v1beta2\nkind: AuthConfig\nmetadata:\n name: talker-api-protection\nspec:\n hosts:\n - talker-api\n authentication:\n \"tier-1\":\n priority: 0\n apiKey:\n selector:\n matchLabels:\n tier: \"1\"\n \"tier-2\":\n priority: 1\n apiKey:\n selector:\n matchLabels:\n tier: \"2\"\n \"tier-3\":\n priority: 1\n apiKey:\n selector:\n matchLabels:\n tier: \"3\"\n metadata:\n \"first\":\n http:\n url: http://talker-api:3000\n \"second\":\n priority: 1\n http:\n url: http://talker-api:3000/first_uuid={auth.metadata.first.uuid}\n authorization:\n \"allowed-endpoints\":\n when:\n - selector: context.request.http.path\n operator: neq\n value: /hi\n - selector: context.request.http.path\n operator: neq\n value: /hello\n - selector: context.request.http.path\n operator: neq\n value: /aloha\n - selector: context.request.http.path\n operator: neq\n value: /ciao\n patternMatching:\n patterns:\n - selector: deny\n operator: eq\n value: \"true\"\n \"more-expensive-policy\": # no point in evaluating this one if it's not an allowed endpoint\n priority: 1\n opa:\n rego: |\n allow { true }\n response:\n success:\n headers:\n \"x-auth-data\":\n json:\n properties:\n \"tier\":\n selector: auth.identity.metadata.labels.tier\n \"first-uuid\":\n selector: auth.metadata.first.uuid\n \"second-uuid\":\n selector: auth.metadata.second.uuid\n \"second-path\":\n selector: auth.metadata.second.path\n
For the AuthConfig above,
-
Identity configs tier-2 and tier-3 (priority 1) will only trigger (concurrently) in case tier-1 (priority 0) fails to validate the authentication token first. (This behavior happens without prejudice of context canceling between concurrent evaluators \u2013 i.e. evaluators that are triggered concurrently to another, such as tier-2 and tier-3, continue to cancel the context of each other if any of them succeeds validating the token first.)
-
Metadata source second (priority 1) uses the response of the request issued by metadata source first (priority 0), so it will wait for first to finish by triggering only in the second block.
-
Authorization policy allowed-endpoints (priority 0) is considered to be a lot less expensive than more-expensive-policy (priority 1) and has a high chance of denying access to the protected service (if the path is not one of the allowed endpoints). By setting different priorities to these policies we ensure the more expensive policy if triggered in sequence of the less expensive one, instead of concurrently.
"},{"location":"authorino/docs/features/#common-feature-conditions-when","title":"Common feature: Conditions (when)","text":"Conditions, named when in the AuthConfig API, are logical expressions, composed of patterns and logical operator AND and OR, that can be used to condition the evaluation of a particular auth rule within an AuthConfig, as well as of the AuthConfig altogether (\"top-level conditions\").
The patterns are evaluated against the Authorization JSON, where each pattern is a tuple composed of: - selector: a JSON path to fetch a value from the Authorization JSON - operator: one of: eq (equals); neq (not equal); incl (includes) and excl (excludes), for when the value fetched from the Authorization JSON is expected to be an array; matches, for regular expressions - value: a static string value to compare the value selected from the Authorization JSON with.
An expression contains one or more patterns and they must either all evaluate to true (\"AND\" operator, declared by grouping the patterns within an all block) or at least one of the patterns must be true (\"OR\" operator, when grouped within an any block.) Patterns not explicitly grouped are AND'ed by default.
To avoid repetitions when listing patterns, any set of literal { pattern, operator, value } tuples can be stored at the top-level of the AuthConfig spec, indexed by name, and later referred within an expression by including a patternRef in the block of conditions.
Examples of when conditions
i) to skip an entire AuthConfig based on the context (AND operator assumed by default):
spec:\n when: # auth enforced only on requests to POST /resources/*\n - selector: context.request.http.method\n operator: eq\n value: POST\n - selector: context.request.http.path\n operator: matches\n value: ^/resources/.*\n
ii) equivalent to the above with explicit AND operator (i.e., all block):
spec:\n when: # auth enforced only on requests to POST /resources/*\n - all:\n - selector: context.request.http.method\n operator: eq\n value: POST\n - selector: context.request.http.path\n operator: matches\n value: ^/resources/.*\n
iii) OR condition (i.e., any block):
spec:\n when: # auth enforced only on requests with HTTP method equals to POST or PUT\n - any:\n - selector: context.request.http.method\n operator: eq\n value: POST\n - selector: context.request.http.method\n operator: eq\n value: PUT\n
iv) complex expression with nested operations:
spec:\n when: # auth enforced only on requests to POST /resources/* or PUT /resources/*\n - any:\n - all:\n - selector: context.request.http.method\n operator: eq\n value: POST\n - selector: context.request.http.path\n operator: matches\n value: ^/resources/.*\n - all:\n - selector: context.request.http.method\n operator: eq\n value: PUT\n - selector: context.request.http.path\n operator: matches\n value: ^/resources/.*\n
v) more concise equivalent of the above (with implicit AND operator at the top level):
spec:\n when: # auth enforced only on requests to /resources/* path with method equals to POST or PUT\n - selector: context.request.http.path\n operator: matches\n value: ^/resources/.*\n - any:\n - selector: context.request.http.method\n operator: eq\n value: POST\n - selector: context.request.http.method\n operator: eq\n value: PUT\n
vi) to skip part of an AuthConfig (i.e., a specific auth rule):
spec:\n metadata:\n \"metadata-source\":\n http:\n url: https://my-metadata-source.io\n when: # only fetch the external metadata if the context is HTTP method other than OPTIONS\n - selector: context.request.http.method\n operator: neq\n value: OPTIONS\n
vii) skipping part of an AuthConfig will not affect other auth rules:
spec:\n authentication:\n \"authn-meth-1\":\n apiKey: {\u2026} # this auth rule only triggers for POST requests to /foo[/*]\n when:\n - selector: context.request.http.method\n operator: eq\n value: POST\n - selector: context.request.http.path\n operator: matches\n value: ^/foo(/.*)?$\n\n \"authn-meth-2\": # this auth rule triggerred regardless\n jwt: {\u2026}\n
viii) concrete use-case: evaluating only the necessary identity checks based on the user's indication of the preferred authentication method (prefix of the value supplied in the HTTP Authorization request header):
spec:\n authentication:\n \"jwt\":\n when:\n - selector: context.request.http.headers.authorization\n operator: matches\n value: JWT .+\n jwt: {\u2026}\n\n \"api-key\":\n when:\n - selector: context.request.http.headers.authorization\n operator: matches\n value: APIKEY .+\n apiKey: {\u2026}\n
ix) to avoid repetition while defining patterns for conditions:
spec:\n patterns:\n a-pet: # a named pattern that can be reused in sets of conditions\n - selector: context.request.http.path\n operator: matches\n value: ^/pets/\\d+(/.*)$\n\n metadata:\n \"pets-info\":\n when:\n - patternRef: a-pet\n http:\n url: https://pets-info.io?petId={context.request.http.path.@extract:{\"sep\":\"/\",\"pos\":2}}\n\n authorization:\n \"pets-owners-only\":\n when:\n - patternRef: a-pet\n opa:\n rego: |\n allow { input.metadata[\"pets-info\"].ownerid == input.auth.identity.userid }\n
x) combining literals and refs \u2013 concrete case: authentication required for selected operations:
spec:\n patterns:\n api-base-path:\n - selector: context.request.http.path\n operator: matches\n value: ^/api/.*\n\n authenticated-user:\n - selector: auth.identity.anonymous\n operator: neq\n value: \"true\"\n\n authentication:\n api-users: # tries to authenticate all requests to path /api/*\n when:\n - patternRef: api-base-path\n jwt: {\u2026}\n\n others: # defaults to anonymous access when authentication fails or not /api/* path\n anonymous: {}\n priority: 1\n\n authorization:\n api-write-access-requires-authentication: # POST/PUT/DELETE requests to /api/* path cannot be anonymous\n when:\n - all:\n - patternRef: api-base-path\n - any:\n - selector: context.request.http.method\n operator: eq\n value: POST\n - selector: context.request.http.method\n operator: eq\n value: PUT\n - selector: context.request.http.method\n operator: eq\n value: DELETE\n opa:\n patternMatching:\n rules:\n - patternRef: authenticated-user\n\n response: # bonus: export user data if available\n success:\n dynamicMetadata:\n \"user-data\":\n when:\n - patternRef: authenticated-user\n json:\n properties:\n jwt-claims:\n selector: auth.identity\n
"},{"location":"authorino/docs/features/#common-feature-caching-cache","title":"Common feature: Caching (cache)","text":"Objects resolved at runtime in an Auth Pipeline can be cached \"in-memory\", and avoided being evaluated again at a subsequent request, until it expires. A lookup cache key and a TTL can be set individually for any evaluator config in an AuthConfig.
Each cache config induces a completely independent cache table (or \"cache namespace\"). Consequently, different evaluator configs can use the same cache key and there will be no collision between entries from different evaluators.
E.g.:
spec:\n hosts:\n - my-api.io\n\n authentication: [\u2026]\n\n metadata:\n \"external-metadata\":\n http:\n url: http://my-external-source?search={context.request.http.path}\n cache:\n key:\n selector: context.request.http.path\n ttl: 300\n\n authorization:\n \"complex-policy\":\n opa:\n externalPolicy:\n url: http://my-policy-registry\n cache:\n key:\n selector: \"{auth.identity.group}-{context.request.http.method}-{context.request.http.path}\"\n ttl: 60\n
The example above sets caching for the 'external-metadata' metadata config and for the 'complex-policy' authorization policy. In the case of 'external-metadata', the cache key is the path of the original HTTP request being authorized by Authorino (fetched dynamically from the Authorization JSON); i.e., after obtaining a metadata object from the external source for a given contextual HTTP path one first time, whenever that same HTTP path repeats in a subsequent request, Authorino will use the cached object instead of sending a request again to the external source of metadata. After 5 minutes (300 seconds), the cache entry will expire and Authorino will fetch again from the source if requested.
As for the 'complex-policy' authorization policy, the cache key is a string composed the 'group' the identity belongs to, the method of the HTTP request and the path of the HTTP request. Whenever these repeat, Authorino will use the result of the policy that was evaluated and cached priorly. Cache entries in this namespace expire after 60 seconds.
Notes on evaluator caching
Capacity - By default, each cache namespace is limited to 1 mb. Entries will be evicted following First-In-First-Out (FIFO) policy to release space. The individual capacity of cache namespaces is set at the level of the Authorino instance (via --evaluator-cache-size command-line flag or spec.evaluatorCacheSize field of the Authorino CR).
Usage - Avoid caching objects whose evaluation is considered to be relatively cheap. Examples of operations associated to Authorino auth features that are usually NOT worth caching: validation of JSON Web Tokens (JWT), Kubernetes TokenReviews and SubjectAccessReviews, API key validation, simple JSON pattern-matching authorization rules, simple OPA policies. Examples of operations where caching may be desired: OAuth2 token introspection, fetching of metadata from external sources (via HTTP request), complex OPA policies.
"},{"location":"authorino/docs/features/#common-feature-metrics-metrics","title":"Common feature: Metrics (metrics)","text":"By default, Authorino will only export metrics down to the level of the AuthConfig.

-
For OpenID Connect, make sure you have access to an identity provider (IdP) and an authority that can issue ID tokens (JWTs). Check out Keycloak which can solve both and connect to external identity sources and user federation like LDAP.

For Kubernetes authentication tokens, platform support for the TokenReview and SubjectAccessReview APIs of Kubernetes shall be required. In case you want to be able to requests access tokens for clients running outside the custer, you may also want to check out the requisites for using Kubernetes TokenRequest API (GA in v1.20).
-
For User-Managed Access (UMA) resource data, you will need a UMA-compliant server running as well. This can be an implementation of the UMA protocol by each upstream API itself or (more typically) an external server that knows about the resources. Again, Keycloak can be a good fit here as well. Just keep in mind that, whatever resource server you choose, changing-state actions commanded in the upstream APIs or other parties will have to be reflected in the resource server.

To do that, make sure you have your upstream service deployed and running, usually in the same Kubernetes server where you installed Authorino. Then, setup an Envoy proxy and create an Authorino AuthConfig for your service.
Authorino exposes 2 interfaces to serve the authorization requests:
- a gRPC interface that implements Envoy's External Authorization protocol;
- a raw HTTP authorization interface, suitable for using Authorino with Kubernetes ValidatingWebhook, for Envoy external authorization via HTTP, and other integrations (e.g. other proxies).
To use Authorino as a simple satellite (sidecar) Policy Decision Point (PDP), applications can integrate directly via any of these interfaces. By integrating via a proxy or API gateway, the combination makes Authorino to perform as an external Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) completely decoupled from the application.

"},{"location":"authorino/docs/terminology/#terms","title":"Terms","text":"Access token Type of temporary password (security token), tied to an authenticated identity, issued by an auth server as of request from either the identity subject itself or a registered auth client known by the auth server, and that delegates to a party powers to operate on behalf of that identity before a resource server; it can be formatted as an opaque data string or as an encoded JSON Web Token (JWT).
Application Programming Interface (API) Interface that defines interactions between multiple software applications; (in HTTP communication) set of endpoints and specification to expose resources hosted by a resource server, to be consumed by client applications; the access facade of a resource server.
Attribute-based Access Control (ABAC) Authorization model that grants/denies access to resources based on evaluation of authorization policies which combine attributes together (from claims, from the request, from the resource, etc).
Auth Usually employed as a short for authentication and authorization together (AuthN/AuthZ).
Auth client Application client (software) that uses an auth server, either in the process of authenticating and/or authorizing identity subjects (including self) who want to consume resources from a resources server or auth server.
Auth server Server where auth clients, users, roles, scopes, resources, policies and permissions can be stored and managed.
Authentication (AuthN) Process of verifying that a given credential belongs to a claimed-to-be identity; usually resulting in the issuing of an access token.
Authorization (AuthZ) Process of granting (or denying) access over a resource to a party based on the set of authorization rules, policies and/or permissions enforced.
Authorization header HTTP request header frequently used to carry credentials to authenticate a user in an HTTP communication, like in requests sent to an API; alternatives usually include credentials carried in another (custom) HTTP header, query string parameter or HTTP cookie.
Capability Usually employed to refer to a management feature of a Kubernetes-native system, based on the definition and use of Kubernetes Custom Resources (CRDs and CRs), that enables that system to one of the following \u201ccapability levels\u201d: Basic Install, Seamless Upgrades, Full Lifecycle, Deep Insights, Auto Pilot.
Claim Attribute packed in a security token which represents a claim that one who bears the token is making about an entity, usually an identity subject.
Client ID Unique identifier of an auth client within an auth server domain (or auth server realm).
Client secret Password presented by auth clients together with their Client IDs while authenticating with an auth server, either when requesting access tokens to be issued or when consuming services from the auth servers in general.

Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) Specific type of message authentication code (MAC) that involves a cryptographic hash function and a shared secret cryptographic key; it can be used to verify the authenticity of a message and therefore as an authentication method.
Identity Set of properties that qualifies a subject as a strong identifiable entity (usually a user), who can be authenticated by an auth server. See also Claims.
Identity and Access Management (IAM) system Auth system that implements and/or connects with sources of identity (IdP) and offers interfaces for managing access (authorization policies and permissions). See also Auth server.

OAuth 2.0 (OAuth2) Industry-standard protocol for delegation.
OpenID Connect (OIDC) Simple identity verification (authentication) layer built on top of the OAuth2 protocol.
Open Policy Agent (OPA) Authorization policy agent that enables the usage of declarative authorization policies written in Rego language.
Opaque token Security token devoid of explicit meaning (e.g. random string); it requires the usage of lookup mechanism to be translated into a meaningful set claims representing an identity.
Permission Association between a protected resource the authorization policies that must be evaluated whether access should be granted; e.g. <user|group|role> CAN DO <action> ON RESOURCE <X>.
Policy Rule or condition (authorization policy) that must be satisfied to grant access to a resource; strongly related to the different access control mechanisms (ACMs) and strategies one can use to protect resources, e.g. attribute-based access control (ABAC), role-based access control (RBAC), context-based access control, user-based access control (UBAC).
Policy Administration Point (PAP) Set of UIs and APIs to manage resources servers, resources, scopes, policies and permissions; it is where the auth system is configured.
Policy Decision Point (PDP) Where the authorization requests are sent, with permissions being requested, and authorization policies are evaluated accordingly.
Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) Where the authorization is effectively enforced, usually at the resource server or at a proxy, based on a response provided by the Policy Decision Point (PDP).
Policy storage Where policies are stored and from where they can be fetched, perhaps to be cached.
Red Hat SSO Auth server; downstream product created from the Keycloak Open Source project.
Refresh token Special type of security token, often provided together with an access token in an OAuth2 flow, used to renew the duration of an access token before it expires; it requires client authentication.

Resource server Server that hosts protected resources.
Role Aspect of a user\u2019s identity assigned to the user to indicate the level of access they should have to the system; essentially, roles represent collections of permissions
Role-based Access Control (RBAC) Authorization model that grants/denies access to resources based on the roles of authenticated users (rather than on complex attributes/policy rules).
Scope Mechanism that defines the specific operations that applications can be allowed to do or information that they can request on an identity\u2019s behalf; often presented as a parameter when access is requested as a way to communicate what access is needed, and used by auth server to respond what actual access is granted.
Single Page Application (SPA) Web application or website that interacts with the user by dynamically rewriting the current web page with new data from the web server.
Single Sign-on (SSO) Authentication scheme that allows a user to log in with a single ID and password to any of several related, yet independent, software systems.

The next steps walk you through installing Authorino, deploying and configuring a sample service called Talker API to be protected by the authorization service.
Using Kuadrant If you are a user of Kuadrant and already have your workload cluster configured and sample service application deployed, as well as your Gateway API network resources applied to route traffic to your service, skip straight to step \u277a.
At step \u277a, instead of creating an AuthConfig custom resource, create a Kuadrant AuthPolicy one. The schema of the AuthConfig's spec matches the one of the AuthPolicy's, except spec.host, which is not available in the Kuadrant AuthPolicy.

The example above enables anonymous access (i.e. removes authentication), without adding any extra layer of protection to the API. This is virtually equivalent to setting a top-level condition to the AuthConfig that always skips the configuration, or to switching authentication/authorization off completely in the route to the API.
For more sophisticated use cases of anonymous access with Authorino, consider combining this feature with other identity sources in the AuthConfig while playing with the priorities of each source, as well as combination with when conditions, and/or adding authorization policies that either cover authentication or address anonymous access with proper rules (e.g. enforcing read-only access).
Check out the docs for the Anonymous access feature for an example of an AuthConfig that falls back to anonymous access when a priority OIDC/JWT-based authentication fails, and enforces a read-only policy in such cases.

- Caching of previously validated identity access tokens (e.g. for OAuth2 opaque tokens that involve consuming the token introspection endpoint of an external auth server)

The example below enables caching for the external source of metadata, which in this case, for convenience, is the same upstream API protected by Authorino (i.e. the Talker API), though consumed directly by Authorino, without passing through the proxy. This API generates a uuid random hash that it injects in the JSON response. This value is different in every request processed by the API.
The example also enables caching of returned OPA virtual documents. cached-authz is a trivial Rego policy that always grants access, but generates a timestamp, which Authorino will cache.
In both cases, the path of the HTTP request is used as cache key. I.e., whenever the path repeats, Authorino reuse the values stored previously in each cache table (cached-metadata and cached-authz), respectively saving a request to the external source of metadata and the evaluation of the OPA policy. Cache entries will expire in both cases after 60 seconds they were stored in the cache.
The cached values will be visible in the response returned by the Talker API in x-authz-data header injected by Authorino. This way, we can tell when an existing value in the cache was used and when a new one was generated and stored.

kind create cluster --name authorino-tutorial\n
The next steps walk you through installing Authorino, deploying and configuring a sample web application called Matrix Quotes to be protected by the authorization service.
Using Kuadrant If you are a user of Kuadrant and already have your workload cluster configured and sample service application deployed, as well as your Gateway API network resources applied to route traffic to your service, skip straight to step \u277a.
At step \u277a, instead of creating an AuthConfig custom resource, create a Kuadrant AuthPolicy one. The schema of the AuthConfig's spec matches the one of the AuthPolicy's, except spec.host, which is not available in the Kuadrant AuthPolicy.

The very definition of \"edge\" is subject to discussion, but the underlying idea is that clients (e.g. API clients, IoT devices, etc.) authenticate with a layer that, before moving traffic to inside the network: - understands the complexity of all the different methods of authentication supported; - sometimes some token normalization is involved; - eventually enforces some preliminary authorization policies; and - possibly filters data bits that are sensitive to privacy concerns (e.g. to comply with local legislation such as GRPD, CCPA, etc)
As a minimum, EAA allows to simplify authentication between applications and microservices inside the network, as well as to reduce authorization to domain-specific rules and policies, rather than having to deal all the complexity to support all types of clients in every node.
Authorino capabilities featured in this guide: - Dynamic response \u2192 Festival Wristband tokens
- Identity verification & authentication \u2192 Identity extension
- Identity verification & authentication \u2192 API key
- Identity verification & authentication \u2192 JWT verification
Festival Wristbands are OpenID Connect ID tokens (signed JWTs) issued by Authorino by the end of the Auth Pipeline, for authorized requests. It can be configured to include claims based on static values and values fetched from the Authorization JSON.
Check out as well the user guides about Token normalization, Authentication with API keys and OpenID Connect Discovery and authentication with JWTs.

If you do not own a Kubernetes server already and just want to try out the steps in this guide, you can create a local containerized cluster by executing the command below. In this case, the main requirement is having Kind installed, with either Docker or Podman.

Deploy the identity provider and authentication server by executing the command below. For the examples in this guide, we are going to use a Keycloak server preloaded with all required realm settings.
kubectl create namespace keycloak\nkubectl -n keycloak apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kuadrant/authorino-examples/main/keycloak/keycloak-deploy.yaml\n
The next steps walk you through installing Authorino and configuring 2 environments of an architecture, edge and internal.
The first environment is a facade for handling the first layer of authentication and exchanging any valid presented authentication token for a Festival Wristband token. In the second, we will deploy a sample service called Talker API that the authorization service will ensure to receive only authenticated traffic presented with a valid Festival Wristband.
Using Kuadrant If you are a user of Kuadrant and already have your workload cluster configured and sample service application deployed, as well as your Gateway API network resources applied to route traffic to your service, skip straight to step \u2779.
At steps \u2779 and \u277a, instead of creating an AuthConfig custom resource, create a Kuadrant AuthPolicy one.

ACCESS_TOKEN=$(kubectl -n edge run token --attach --rm --restart=Never -q --image=curlimages/curl -- http://keycloak.keycloak.svc.cluster.local:8080/realms/kuadrant/protocol/openid-connect/token -s -d 'grant_type=password' -d 'client_id=demo' -d 'username=jane' -d 'password=p' -d 'scope=openid' | jq -r .access_token)\n
If your Keycloak server is reachable from outside the cluster, feel free to obtain the token directly. Make sure the host name set in the OIDC issuer endpoint in the AuthConfig matches the one used to obtain the token and is as well reachable from within the cluster.
(Optional) Inspect the access token issue by Keycloak and verify and how it contains more details about the identity than required to authenticate and authorize with internal apps.
jwt decode $ACCESS_TOKEN\n# [...]\n#\n# Token claims\n# ------------\n# { [...]\n# \"email\": \"jane@kuadrant.io\",\n# \"email_verified\": true,\n# \"exp\": 1638452220,\n# \"family_name\": \"Smith\",\n# \"given_name\": \"Jane\",\n# \"iat\": 1638451920,\n# \"iss\": \"http://keycloak.keycloak.svc.cluster.local:8080/realms/kuadrant\",\n# \"jti\": \"699f6e49-dea4-4f29-ae2a-929a3a18c94b\",\n# \"name\": \"Jane Smith\",\n# \"preferred_username\": \"jane\",\n# \"realm_access\": {\n# \"roles\": [\n# \"offline_access\",\n# \"member\",\n# \"admin\",\n# \"uma_authorization\"\n# ]\n# },\n# [...]\n

In this user guide, we will set up Envoy and Authorino to protect a service called the Talker API service, with JWT authentication handled in Envoy and a more complex authorization policy enforced in Authorino.
The policy defines a geo-fence by which only requests originated in Great Britain (country code: GB) will be accepted, unless the user is bound to a role called 'admin' in the auth server, in which case no geofence is enforced.
All requests to the Talker API will be authenticated in Envoy. However, requests to /global will not trigger the external authorization.

- jq, to extract parts of JSON responses
If you do not own a Kubernetes server already and just want to try out the steps in this guide, you can create a local containerized cluster by executing the command below. In this case, the main requirement is having Kind installed, with either Docker or Podman.
kind create cluster --name authorino-tutorial\n
Deploy the identity provider and authentication server by executing the command below. For the examples in this guide, we are going to use a Keycloak server preloaded with all required realm settings.
kubectl create namespace keycloak\nkubectl -n keycloak apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kuadrant/authorino-examples/main/keycloak/keycloak-deploy.yaml\n
The next steps walk you through installing Authorino, deploying and configuring a sample service called Talker API to be protected by the authorization service.
Using Kuadrant If you are a user of Kuadrant and already have your workload cluster configured and sample service application deployed, as well as your Gateway API network resources applied to route traffic to your service, skip straight to step \u277b.
At step \u277b, instead of creating an AuthConfig custom resource, create a Kuadrant AuthPolicy one. The schema of the AuthConfig's spec matches the one of the AuthPolicy's, except spec.host, which is not available in the Kuadrant AuthPolicy. Host names in a Kuadrant AuthPolicy are inferred automatically from the Kubernetes network object referred in spec.targetRef and route selectors declared in the policy.

If you do not own a Kubernetes server already and just want to try out the steps in this guide, you can create a local containerized cluster by executing the command below. In this case, the main requirement is having Kind installed, with either Docker or Podman.
kind create cluster --name authorino-tutorial\n
Deploy the identity provider and authentication server by executing the command below. For the examples in this guide, we are going to use a Keycloak server preloaded with all required realm settings.

The next steps walk you through installing Authorino, deploying and configuring a sample service called Talker API to be protected by the authorization service.
Using Kuadrant If you are a user of Kuadrant and already have your workload cluster configured and sample service application deployed, as well as your Gateway API network resources applied to route traffic to your service, skip straight to step \u277a.
At step \u277a, instead of creating an AuthConfig custom resource, create a Kuadrant AuthPolicy one. The schema of the AuthConfig's spec matches the one of the AuthPolicy's, except spec.host, which is not available in the Kuadrant AuthPolicy. Host names in a Kuadrant AuthPolicy are inferred automatically from the Kubernetes network object referred in spec.targetRef and route selectors declared in the policy.

In this example, Authorino will accept access tokens (JWTs) issued by the Keycloak server. These JWTs can be either normal Keycloak ID tokens or Requesting Party Tokens (RPT).
RPTs include claims about the permissions of the user regarding protected resources and scopes associated with a Keycloak authorization client that the user can access.
When the supplied access token is an RPT, Authorino will just validate whether the user's granted permissions present in the token include the requested resource ID (translated from the path) and scope (inferred from the HTTP method). If the token does not contain a permissions claim (i.e. it is not an RPT), Authorino will negotiate a User-Managed Access (UMA) ticket on behalf of the user and try to obtain an RPT on that UMA ticket.
In cases of asynchronous user-managed permission control, the first request to the API using a normal Keycloak ID token is denied by Authorino. The user that owns the resource acknowledges the access request in the Keycloak UI. If access is granted, the new permissions will be reflected in subsequent RPTs obtained by Authorino on behalf of the requesting party.
Whenever an RPT with proper permissions is obtained by Authorino, the RPT is supplied back to the API consumer, so it can be used in subsequent requests thus skipping new negotiations of UMA tickets.

Authorino can delegate authorization decision to the Kubernetes authorization system, allowing permissions to be stored and managed using the Kubernetes Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for example. The feature is based on the SubjectAccessReview API and can be used for resourceAttributes (parameters defined in the AuthConfig) or nonResourceAttributes (inferring HTTP path and verb from the original request).
Check out as well the user guide about Authentication with Kubernetes tokens (TokenReview API).
For further details about Authorino features in general, check the docs.

If you do not own a Kubernetes server already and just want to try out the steps in this guide, you can create a local containerized cluster by executing the command below. In this case, the main requirement is having Kind installed, with either Docker or Podman.
kind create cluster --name authorino-tutorial\n
The next steps walk you through installing Authorino, deploying and configuring a sample service called Talker API to be protected by the authorization service.
Using Kuadrant If you are a user of Kuadrant and already have your workload cluster configured and sample service application deployed, as well as your Gateway API network resources applied to route traffic to your service, skip straight to step \u277a.
At step \u277a, instead of creating an AuthConfig custom resource, create a Kuadrant AuthPolicy one. The schema of the AuthConfig's spec matches the one of the AuthPolicy's, except spec.host, which is not available in the Kuadrant AuthPolicy. Host names in a Kuadrant AuthPolicy are inferred automatically from the Kubernetes network object referred in spec.targetRef and route selectors declared in the policy.
For more about using Kuadrant to enforce authorization, check out Kuadrant auth.

Authorino capabilities featured in this guide: - Identity verification & authentication \u2192 OAuth 2.0 introspection
- Authorization \u2192 Pattern-matching authorization
Authorino can perform OAuth 2.0 token introspection (RFC 7662) on the access tokens supplied in the requests to protected APIs. This is particularly useful when using opaque tokens, for remote checking the token validity and resolving the identity object.
Important! Authorino does not implement OAuth2 grants nor OIDC authentication flows. As a common recommendation of good practice, obtaining and refreshing access tokens is for clients to negotiate directly with the auth servers and token issuers. Authorino will only validate those tokens using the parameters provided by the trusted issuer authorities.
Check out as well the user guides about OpenID Connect Discovery and authentication with JWTs and Simple pattern-matching authorization policies.
For further details about Authorino features in general, check the docs.

- OAuth 2.0 server that implements the token introspection endpoint (RFC 7662) (e.g. Keycloak or a12n-server)
- jq, to extract parts of JSON responses
If you do not own a Kubernetes server already and just want to try out the steps in this guide, you can create a local containerized cluster by executing the command below. In this case, the main requirement is having Kind installed, with either Docker or Podman.
kind create cluster --name authorino-tutorial\n
Deploy a Keycloak server preloaded with the realm settings required for this guide:
kubectl create namespace keycloak\nkubectl -n keycloak apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kuadrant/authorino-examples/main/keycloak/keycloak-deploy.yaml\n
Deploy an a12n-server server preloaded with all settings required for this guide:
kubectl create namespace a12n-server\nkubectl -n a12n-server apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kuadrant/authorino-examples/main/a12n-server/a12n-server-deploy.yaml\n
The next steps walk you through installing Authorino, deploying and configuring a sample service called Talker API to be protected by the authorization service.
Using Kuadrant If you are a user of Kuadrant and already have your workload cluster configured and sample service application deployed, as well as your Gateway API network resources applied to route traffic to your service, skip straight to step \u277a.
At step \u277a, instead of creating an AuthConfig custom resource, create a Kuadrant AuthPolicy one. The schema of the AuthConfig's spec matches the one of the AuthPolicy's, except spec.host, which is not available in the Kuadrant AuthPolicy. Host names in a Kuadrant AuthPolicy are inferred automatically from the Kubernetes network object referred in spec.targetRef and route selectors declared in the policy.
For more about using Kuadrant to enforce authorization, check out Kuadrant auth.

and GC stats.
2 Opt-in metrics: auth_server_evaluator_* metrics require authconfig.spec.(identity|metadata|authorization|response).metrics: true (default: false). This can be enforced for the entire instance (all AuthConfigs and evaluators), by setting the --deep-metrics-enabled command-line flag in the Authorino deployment.

"},{"location":"authorino/docs/user-guides/observability/#readiness-check","title":"Readiness check","text":"Authorino exposes two main endpoints for health and readiness check of the AuthConfig controller:
/healthz: Health probe (ping) \u2013 reports \"ok\" if the controller is healthy./readyz: Readiness probe \u2013 reports \"ok\" if the controller is ready to reconcile AuthConfig-related events.
In general, the endpoints return either 200 (\"ok\", i.e. all checks have passed) or 500 (when one or more checks failed).
The default binding network address is :8081, which can be changed by setting the command-line flag --health-probe-addr.
The following additional subpath is available and its corresponding check can be aggregated into the response from the main readiness probe: - /readyz/authconfigs: Aggregated readiness status of the AuthConfigs \u2013 reports \"ok\" if all AuthConfigs watched by the reconciler have been marked as ready.
Important!The AuthConfig readiness check within the scope of the aggregated readiness probe endpoint is deactivated by default \u2013 i.e. this check is an opt-in check. Sending a request to the /readyz endpoint without explicitly opting-in for the AuthConfigs check, by using the include parameter, will result in a response message that disregards the actual status of the watched AuthConfigs, possibly an \"ok\" message. To read the aggregated status of the watched AuthConfigs, either use the specific endpoint /readyz/authconfigs or opt-in for the check in the aggregated endpoint by sending a request to /readyz?include=authconfigs Apart from include to add the aggregated status of the AuthConfigs, the following additional query string parameters are available:
verbose=true|false - provides more verbose response messages;exclude=(check name) \u2013 to exclude a particular readiness check (for future usage).
"},{"location":"authorino/docs/user-guides/observability/#logging","title":"Logging","text":"Authorino provides structured log messages (\"production\") or more log messages output to stdout in a more user-friendly format (\"development\" mode) and different level of logging.
"},{"location":"authorino/docs/user-guides/observability/#log-levels-and-log-modes","title":"Log levels and log modes","text":"Authorino outputs 3 levels of log messages: (from lowest to highest level)
debuginfo (default)error
info logging is restricted to high-level information of the gRPC and HTTP authorization services, limiting messages to incoming request and respective outgoing response logs, with reduced details about the corresponding objects (request payload and authorization result), and without any further detailed logs of the steps in between, except for errors.
Only debug logging will include processing details of each Auth Pipeline, such as intermediary requests to validate identities with external auth servers, requests to external sources of auth metadata or authorization policies.
To configure the desired log level, set the spec.logLevel field of the Authorino custom resource (or --log-level command-line flag in the Authorino deployment), to one of the supported values listed above. Default log level is info.
Apart from log level, Authorino can output messages to the logs in 2 different formats:
production (default): each line is a parseable JSON object with properties {\"level\":string, \"ts\":int, \"msg\":string, \"logger\":string, extra values...}development: more human-readable outputs, extra stack traces and logging info, plus extra values output as JSON, in the format: <timestamp-iso-8601>\\t<log-level>\\t<logger>\\t<message>\\t{extra-values-as-json}
To configure the desired log mode, set the spec.logMode field of the Authorino custom resource (or --log-mode command-line flag in the Authorino deployment), to one of the supported values listed above. Default log level is production.
Example of Authorino custom resource with log level debug and log mode production:
apiVersion: operator.authorino.kuadrant.io/v1beta1\nkind: Authorino\nmetadata:\n name: authorino\nspec:\n logLevel: debug\n logMode: production\n listener:\n tls:\n enabled: false\n oidcServer:\n tls:\n enabled: false\n
"},{"location":"authorino/docs/user-guides/observability/#sensitive-data-output-to-the-logs","title":"Sensitive data output to the logs","text":"Authorino will never output HTTP headers and query string parameters to info log messages, as such values usually include sensitive data (e.g. access tokens, API keys and Authorino Festival Wristbands). However, debug log messages may include such sensitive information and those are not redacted.
Therefore, DO NOT USE debug LOG LEVEL IN PRODUCTION! Instead, use either info or error.

Authorino capabilities featured in this guide: - Identity verification & authentication \u2192 JWT verification
Authorino validates JSON Web Tokens (JWT) issued by an OpenID Connect server that implements OpenID Connect Discovery. Authorino fetches the OpenID Connect configuration and JSON Web Key Set (JWKS) from the issuer endpoint, and verifies the JSON Web Signature (JWS) and time validity of the token.
Important! Authorino does not implement OAuth2 grants nor OIDC authentication flows. As a common recommendation of good practice, obtaining and refreshing access tokens is for clients to negotiate directly with the auth servers and token issuers. Authorino will only validate those tokens using the parameters provided by the trusted issuer authorities.
For further details about Authorino features in general, check the docs.

If you do not own a Kubernetes server already and just want to try out the steps in this guide, you can create a local containerized cluster by executing the command below. In this case, the main requirement is having Kind installed, with either Docker or Podman.
kind create cluster --name authorino-tutorial\n
Deploy the identity provider and authentication server by executing the command below. For the examples in this guide, we are going to use a Keycloak server preloaded with all required realm settings.

The next steps walk you through installing Authorino, deploying and configuring a sample service called Talker API to be protected by the authorization service.
Using Kuadrant If you are a user of Kuadrant and already have your workload cluster configured and sample service application deployed, as well as your Gateway API network resources applied to route traffic to your service, skip straight to step \u277a.
At step \u277a, instead of creating an AuthConfig custom resource, create a Kuadrant AuthPolicy one. The schema of the AuthConfig's spec matches the one of the AuthPolicy's, except spec.host, which is not available in the Kuadrant AuthPolicy. Host names in a Kuadrant AuthPolicy are inferred automatically from the Kubernetes network object referred in spec.targetRef and route selectors declared in the policy.

Authorino supports Open Policy Agent policies, either inline defined in Rego language as part of the AuthConfig or fetched from an external endpoint, such as an OPA Policy Registry.
Authorino's built-in OPA module precompiles the policies in reconciliation-time and cache them for fast evaluation in request-time, where they receive the Authorization JSON as input.

If you do not own a Kubernetes server already and just want to try out the steps in this guide, you can create a local containerized cluster by executing the command below. In this case, the main requirement is having Kind installed, with either Docker or Podman.
kind create cluster --name authorino-tutorial\n
The next steps walk you through installing Authorino, deploying and configuring a sample service called Talker API to be protected by the authorization service.
Using Kuadrant If you are a user of Kuadrant and already have your workload cluster configured and sample service application deployed, as well as your Gateway API network resources applied to route traffic to your service, skip straight to step \u277a.
At step \u277a, instead of creating an AuthConfig custom resource, create a Kuadrant AuthPolicy one. The schema of the AuthConfig's spec matches the one of the AuthPolicy's, except spec.host, which is not available in the Kuadrant AuthPolicy. Host names in a Kuadrant AuthPolicy are inferred automatically from the Kubernetes network object referred in spec.targetRef and route selectors declared in the policy.

"},{"location":"authorino/docs/user-guides/token-normalization/","title":"User guide: Token normalization","text":"Broadly, the term token normalization in authentication systems usually implies the exchange of an authentication token, as provided by the user in a given format, and/or its associated identity claims, for another freshly issued token/set of claims, of a given (normalized) structure or format.
The most typical use-case for token normalization involves accepting tokens issued by multiple trusted sources and of often varied authentication protocols, while ensuring that the eventual different data structures adopted by each of those sources are normalized, thus allowing to simplify policies and authorization checks that depend on those values. In general, however, any modification to the identity claims can be for the purpose of normalization.
This user guide focuses on the aspect of mutation of the identity claims resolved from an authentication token, to a certain data format and/or by extending them, so that required attributes can thereafter be trusted to be present among the claims, in a desired form. For such, Authorino allows to extend resolved identity objects with custom attributes (custom claims) of either static values or with values fetched from the Authorization JSON.
For not only normalizing the identity claims for purpose of writing simpler authorization checks and policies, but also getting Authorino to issue a new token in a normalized format, check the Festival Wristband tokens feature.

Using Kuadrant If you are a user of Kuadrant and already have your workload cluster configured and sample service application deployed, as well as your Gateway API network resources applied to route traffic to your service, skip straight to step \u277a.
At step \u277a, instead of creating an AuthConfig custom resource, create a Kuadrant AuthPolicy one. The schema of the AuthConfig's spec matches the one of the AuthPolicy's, except spec.host, which is not available in the Kuadrant AuthPolicy. Host names in a Kuadrant AuthPolicy are inferred automatically from the Kubernetes network object referred in spec.targetRef and route selectors declared in the policy.

This example implements a policy that only users bound to the admin role can send DELETE requests.
The config trusts access tokens issued by a Keycloak realm as well as API keys labeled specifically to a selected group (friends). The roles of the identities handled by Keycloak are managed in Keycloak, as realm roles. Particularly, users john and peter are bound to the member role, while user jane is bound to roles member and admin. As for the users authenticating with API key, they are all bound to the admin role.
Without normalizing identity claims from these two different sources, the policy would have to handle the differences of data formats with additional ifs-and-elses. Instead, the config here uses the identity.extendedProperties option to ensure a custom roles (Array) claim is always present in the identity object. In the case of Keycloak ID tokens, the value is extracted from the realm_access.roles claim; for API key-resolved objects, the custom claim is set to the static value [\"admin\"].

Using Kuadrant If you are a user of Kuadrant you may already have Authorino installed and running. In this case, skip straight to step \u2778.
At step \u277a, alternatively to creating an AuthConfig custom resource, you may create a Kuadrant AuthPolicy one. The schema of the AuthConfig's spec matches the one of the AuthPolicy's, except spec.host, which is not available in the Kuadrant AuthPolicy. Host names in a Kuadrant AuthPolicy are inferred automatically from the Kubernetes network object referred in spec.targetRef and route selectors declared in the policy.
For more about using Kuadrant to enforce authorization, check out Kuadrant auth.

For convenience, the same instance of Authorino pointed as the validating webhook will also be targeted for the sample AuthConfigs created to test the validation. For using different instances of Authorino for the validating webhook and for protecting applications behind a proxy, check out the section about sharding in the docs. There is also a user guide on the topic, with concrete examples.

Limitador will try to match each incoming descriptor with the same namespaced counter's conditions and variables. The namespace for the descriptors is defined by the domain field whereas for the rate limit configuration the namespace field is being used. For each matching counter, the counter is increased and the limits checked.
One example to illustrate:
Let's say we have 1 rate limit configuration (one counter per config):
conditions: [\"KEY_A == 'VALUE_A'\"]\nmax_value: 1\nseconds: 60\nvariables: []\nnamespace: example.org\n
Limitador receives one descriptor with two entries:
domain: example.org\ndescriptors:\n - entries:\n - KEY_A: VALUE_A\n - OTHER_KEY: OTHER_VALUE\n
The counter's condition will match. Then, the counter will be increased and the limit checked. If the limit is exceeded, the request will be rejected with 429 Too Many Requests, otherwise accepted.
Note that the counter is being activated even though it does not match all the entries of the descriptor. The same rule applies for the variables field.
Currently, the implementation of condition only allow for equal (==) and not equal (!=) operators. More operators will be implemented based off the use cases for them.
The variables field is a list of keys. The matching rule is defined just as the existence of the list of descriptor entries with the same key values. If variables is variables: [A, B, C], one descriptor matches if it has at least three entries with the same A, B, C keys.
Few examples to illustrate.
Having the following descriptors:
domain: example.org\ndescriptors:\n - entries:\n - KEY_A: VALUE_A\n - OTHER_KEY: OTHER_VALUE\n
the following counters would not be activated.
conditions: [\"KEY_B == 'VALUE_B'\"]\nmax_value: 1\nseconds: 60\nvariables: []\nnamespace: example.org\n
Reason: conditions key does not exist conditions:\n - \"KEY_A == 'VALUE_A'\"\n - \"OTHER_KEY == 'WRONG_VALUE'\"\nmax_value: 1\nseconds: 60\nvariables: []\nnamespace: example.org\n
Reason: not all the conditions match conditions: []\nmax_value: 1\nseconds: 60\nvariables: [\"MY_VAR\"]\nnamespace: example.org\n
Reason: the variable name does not exist conditions: [\"KEY_B == 'VALUE_B'\"]\nmax_value: 1\nseconds: 60\nvariables: [\"MY_VAR\"]\nnamespace: example.org\n

"},{"location":"limitador/doc/topologies/#considerations","title":"Considerations","text":"With an active-active deployment, the data needs to be replicated between instances. An update in an instance takes a short time to be reflected in the other. That time lag depends mainly on the network speed between the Redis instances, and it affects the accuracy of the rate-limiting performed by Limitador because it can go over limits while the updates of the counters are being replicated.
The impact of that greatly depends on the use case. With limits of a few seconds, and a low number of hits, we could easily go over limits. On the other hand, if we have defined limits with a high number of hits and a long period, the effect will be basically negligible. For example, if we define a limit of one hour, and we know that the data takes around one second to be replicated, the accuracy loss is going to be negligible.

The idea is to improve throughput and latencies by caching the counters in memory to reduce the number of accesses to Redis. To achieve that, this mode sacrifices some rate-limit accuracy. This mode does two things:
- Batches counter updates. Instead of updating the counters on every request, it updates them in memory and commits them to Redis in batches. The flushing interval can be configured with the
REDIS_LOCAL_CACHE_FLUSHING_PERIOD_MS env. The trade-off is that when running several instances of Limitador, other instances will not become aware of the counter updates until they're committed to Redis. - Caches counters. Instead of fetching the value of a counter every time it's needed, the value is cached for a configurable period. The trade-off is that when running several instances of Limitador, an instance will not become aware of the counter updates other instances do while the value is cached. When a counter is already at 0 (limit exceeded), it's cached until it expires in Redis. In this case, no matter what other instances do, we know that the quota will not be reestablished until the key expires in Redis, so in this case, rate-limit accuracy is not affected. When a counter has still some quota remaining the situation is different, that's why we can tune for how long it will be cached. The formula is as follows: MIN(ttl_in_redis/
REDIS_LOCAL_CACHE_TTL_RATIO_CACHED_COUNTERS, REDIS_LOCAL_CACHE_MAX_TTL_CACHED_COUNTERS_MS). For example, let's image that the current TTL (time remaining until the limit resets) in Redis for a counter is 10 seconds, and we set the ratio to 2, and the max time for 30s. In this case, the counter will be cached for 5s (min(10/2, 30)). During those 5s, Limitador will not fetch the value of that counter from Redis, so it will answer faster, but it will also miss the updates done by other instances, so it can go over the limits in that 5s interval.

The OpenAPI spec of the HTTP service is here.
Limitador has to be started with a YAML file that has some limits defined. There's an example file that allows 10 requests per minute and per user_id when the HTTP method is \"GET\" and 5 when it is a \"POST\". You can run it with Docker (replace latest with the version you want):
docker run --rm --net=host -it -v $(pwd)/examples/limits.yaml:/home/limitador/my_limits.yaml:ro quay.io/kuadrant/limitador:latest limitador-server /home/limitador/my_limits.yaml\n
You can also use the YAML file when running locally:
cargo run --release --bin limitador-server ./examples/limits.yaml\n
If you want to use Limitador with Envoy, there's a minimal Envoy config for testing purposes here. The config forwards the \"userid\" header and the request method to Limitador. It assumes that there's an upstream API deployed on port 1323. You can use echo, for example.
Limitador has several options that can be configured via ENV. This doc specifies them.
"},{"location":"limitador/limitador-server/#limits-storage","title":"Limits storage","text":"Limitador can store its limits and counters in-memory, disk or in Redis. In-memory is faster, but the limits are applied per instance. When using Redis, multiple instances of Limitador can share the same limits, but it's slower.
"},{"location":"limitador/limitador-server/kubernetes/","title":"Kubernetes","text":"The purpose of this documentation is to deploy a sample application published via AWS ELB, that will be ratelimited at infrastructure level, thanks to the use the envoyproxy sidecar container, that will be in charge of contacting to a ratelimit service (limitador), that will allow the request (or not) if it is within the permitted limits.
There are mainly two recommended way of using limitador in kubernetes:
- There is an ingress based on envoyproxy that contacts with limitador ratelimit service before forwarding (or not) the request to the application
- There is an envoyproxy sidecar container living in the application pod that contacts with limitador ratelimit service before forwarding (or not) the request to the main application container in the same pod
In this example it will be described the second scenario (where there is an application with an envoyproxy sidecar container contacting to limitador service).
NOTE If you don't want to manually manage the sidecar container definitions on your deployments (harcoding the container spec, loading the envoy configuration from a configmap that requires a pod restart to reload possibles configuration changes...), you can use marin3r, a light weight envoy control plane that allows you to inject envoyproxy sidecar containers and dynamically consume configs from Kubernetes custom resources.
This is the network diagram of the deployed example:
"},{"location":"limitador/limitador-server/kubernetes/#components","title":"Components","text":"In order to that that ratelimit test, you need to deploy a few components. Some of them are mandatory, and a few are optional:
"},{"location":"limitador/limitador-server/kubernetes/#mandatory","title":"Mandatory","text":" - Application (a sample application deployment called
kuard): - App has an
envoyproxy sidecar container with its configuration file in a configmap, composed by: - Cluster
kuard points to main application container (127.0.0.1:8080) - Cluster
kuard_ratelimit points to limitador headless service (limitador:8081) - Listener HTTP points to envoyproxy sidecar (
0.0.0.0:38080) - When envoy contacts with the ratelimit service, you can define a timeout, and if there is no response within that timeout (because ratelimit is overloaded taking more time to process the request, or because rateliit service is down), you can choose from envoy to deny the request or pass it to the application. In this case, there is set a 1s timeout, and if there is no answer in this 1 second, request is passed to the application (
failure_mode_deny: false), so we guarantee that the maximum overhead added by a non working ratelimit service is 1 extra second to the final response time.
-
App service published with type: LoadBalancer, which creates a AWS ELB. This service has an annotation to enable proxy protocol on the AWS Load balancer in order to be able to keep the real client IP at envoy level (instead of the k8s node private IP), so it can be used to ratelimit per each real client IP if desired.
-
Ratelimit application (a deployment called limitador):
- Limitador Configmap with limits definition (1000 rps per hostname).
-
Limitador headless service published on limitador:8081. It is important to use a headless service in order to balance correctly the traffic between limitador pods, otherwise GRPC connections are not well balanced.
-
Redis database to persist ratelimit configuration:
- Redis service
- Redis statefulset with a persistent volume
"},{"location":"limitador/limitador-server/kubernetes/#optional","title":"Optional","text":" - Centos pod:
- Used to executed
hey tool benchmarks from the cluster, so we ensure network latency does not affect the results. Actually, to achieve better results, this pod should be on another cluster (to not share the network between client and network) and be placed on the same Region (to reduce latency). The client could be a bottle neck for the performance test. - This centos is going to public AWS ELB to access the app, so simulating it is a normal client from the same Region
- Prometheus monitoring and grafana dashboard resources
"},{"location":"limitador/limitador-server/kubernetes/#k8s-deployment","title":"K8s deployment","text":" -
Deploy the redis instance that will keep the limits for different limitador pods:
kubectl apply -f redis-service.yaml\nkubectl apply -f redis-statefulset.yaml\n
-
Deploy limitador application. It is important to create the configmap with limitador limits before the deployment, in order to load it from limitador pods. At the moment, if you update the limits configmap you need to restart the pods. Additionally, limitador has an API in order to load limits dynamically, but for simplicity for this test a configmap has been used:
kubectl apply -f limitador-config-configmap.yaml\nkubectl apply -f limitador-service.yaml\nkubectl apply -f limitador-deployment.yaml\n
-
Deploy sample kuard application with the envoyproxy sidecar container (if you do any change on the envoy configmap, remember you need to restart app pods in order to reload the config):
kubectl apply -f kuard-envoy-config-configmap.yaml\nkubectl apply -f kuard-service.yaml\nkubectl apply -f kuard-deployment.yaml\n
-
At this point you shoud see all pods running, and kuard pods should have 2 containers (the main kuard container, and the envoyproxy sidecar container):
\u25b6 kubectl get pods\nNAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE\nkuard-f859bb896-gmzxn 2/2 Running 0 7m\nkuard-f859bb896-z95w8 2/2 Running 0 7m\nlimitador-68d494f54c-qv996 1/1 Running 0 8m\nlimitador-68d494f54c-zzmhn 1/1 Running 0 8m\nredis-0 1/1 Running 0 9m\n
-
Now you should be able to access to kuard application using the load balancer DNS name:
\u25b6 kubectl get service kuard\nNAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE\nkuard LoadBalancer 172.30.117.198 a96d5449fbc3f4cd892e15e5b36cde48-457963259.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com 80:31450/TCP 4m\n
-
If you go to the browser and paste the EXTERNAL-IP, your request will follow the next workflow:
- The requests will go from your local machine through internet to the public AWS ELB where the app is published
- Then it will go to the
NodePort of your k8s cluster nodes - Once on a k8s node, it will go to kuard
Service Virtual IP, and will arrive to an envoyproxy sidecar container inside kuard pod - Envoyproxy sidecar container will contact with limitador headless
Service, to authorize the requests or not: - If the request is authorized (within the configured limits), it will send the request to the app container (
0.0.0.0:8080) in the same pod, and request will end up with a HTTP 200 response - If the request is limited (beyond the limits), request will end up with
HTTP 429 response

- It should let pass 60 * 1.000 = 60.0000 requests, and limit 60 * 200 = 12.000 requests per minute
- Each limitador pod should handle half of the traffic (500 rps OK, and 200 rps limited)

We can see that:
- Client could send 1192.2171rps (about 1200rps)
- 60046 requests (about 60000) were OK (HTTP 200)
- 11932 requests (about 12000) were limited (HTTP 429)
- Average latency (since the request goes out from the client to AWS ELB, k8s node, envoyproxy container, limitador+redis, kuar app container) is 10ms
-
In addition, if we do a longer test with 5 minutes traffic for example, you can check with the grafana dashboard how these requests are processed by envoyproxy sidecar container of kuard pods and limitador pods:
- Kuard Envoyproxy Sidecar Metrics:
- Globally it handles around 1200rps: it permits around 1krps and limits around 200rps
- Each envoyproxy sidecar of each kuard pod handles around half of the traffic: it permits around 500rps and limits around 100rps. The balance between pods is not 100% perfect, caused by random iptables forwarding when using a k8s service
- Limitador Metrics:
- Globally it handles around 1200rps: it permits around 1krps and limits around 200rps
- Each limitador pod handles around half of the traffic: it permits around 500rps and limits around 100rps. The balance between pods is perfect thanks to using a headless service with GRPC connections

To define a Gateway and have it managed by the multi-cluster gateway controller, we need to do the following things
- Create a Gateway API Gateway resource in the Hub cluster, ensuring the gateway resource specifies the correct gateway class allowing it to be picked up and managed by the multi-cluster gateway controller
kubectl --context kind-mgc-control-plane apply -f - <<EOF\napiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1\nkind: Gateway\nmetadata:\n name: prod-web\n namespace: multi-cluster-gateways\nspec:\n gatewayClassName: kuadrant-multi-cluster-gateway-instance-per-cluster\n listeners:\n - allowedRoutes:\n namespaces:\n from: All\n name: api\n hostname: $MGC_SUB_DOMAIN\n port: 443\n protocol: HTTP\nEOF\n

For more information on ManagedClusterSets and placements please see the OCM official docs: -
ManagedClusterSets
-
Placements
Finally in order to have the Gateway instances deployed to your spoke clusters that can start receiving traffic, you need to place the gateway.
-
To place the gateway, we need to add a placement label to gateway resource to instruct the gateway controller where we want this gateway instantiated.
kubectl --context kind-mgc-control-plane label gateway prod-web \"cluster.open-cluster-management.io/placement\"=\"http-gateway-placement\" -n multi-cluster-gateways\n
-
To have the gateway deployed to 2 clusters, you can add a second cluster to the clusterset by running the following:
kubectl --context kind-mgc-control-plane label managedcluster kind-mgc-workload-1 ingress-cluster=true\n
As the placement specifies numberOfClusters as 2 your gateway will automatically be instantiated on the second cluster.
-
To find a configured gateway and instantiated gateway on the hub cluster. Run the following
kubectl --context kind-mgc-control-plane get gateway -A\n
You'll see the following:
kuadrant-multi-cluster-gateways prod-web istio 172.31.200.0 29s\nmulti-cluster-gateways prod-web kuadrant-multi-cluster-gateway-instance-per-cluster True 2m42s\n
3. Execute the following to see the gateway on the workload-1 cluster: kubectl --context kind-mgc-workload-1 get gateways -A\n
You'll see the following NAMESPACE NAME CLASS ADDRESS PROGRAMMED AGE\nkuadrant-multi-cluster-gateways prod-web istio 172.31.201.0 90s\n
While we recommend using Istio as the gateway provider as that is how you will get access to the full suite of policy APIs, it is possible to use another provider if you choose to however this will result in a reduced set of applicable policy objects.
If you are only using the DNSPolicy and TLSPolicy resources, you can use these APIs with any Gateway provider. To change the underlying provider, you need to set the gatewayclass param downstreamClass.
-
Create the following configmap. Note: In this example, 'eg' stands for the Envoy gateway, which is mentioned in the prerequisites above:
kubectl --context kind-mgc-control-plane apply -f - <<EOF\napiVersion: v1\ndata:\n params: |\n {\n \"downstreamClass\": \"eg\"\n }\nkind: ConfigMap\nmetadata:\n name: gateway-params\n namespace: multi-cluster-gateways\nEOF\n
2. Update the gatewayclass to include the above Configmap kubectl --context kind-mgc-control-plane patch gatewayclass kuadrant-multi-cluster-gateway-instance-per-cluster -n multi-cluster-gateways --type merge --patch '{\"spec\":{\"parametersRef\":{\"group\":\"\",\"kind\":\"ConfigMap\",\"name\":\"gateway-params\",\"namespace\":\"multi-cluster-gateways\"}}}'\n
Once this has been created, any gateways created from that gateway class will result in a downstream gateway being provisioned with the configured downstreamClass. Run the following in both your hub and spoke cluster to see the gateways:
kubectl --context kind-mgc-control-plane get gateway -A\n
kubectl --context kind-mgc-workload-1 get gateway -A\n

DNS Record deletion:
Gateways and DNS records have a 1:1 relationship only, when a gateway gets deleted the corresponding DNS record also gets marked for deletion. This then triggers the DNS record to be removed from the managed zone in the DNS provider (currently only route 53 is accepted). 3. Certs and secrets deletion :
When a gateway is created a cert is also created for the host in the gateway, this is also removed when the gateway is deleted.

First let's ensure the managedzone is present:
kubectl get managedzone -n multi-cluster-gateways --context kind-mgc-control-plane\n
You should see the following: NAME DOMAIN NAME ID RECORD COUNT NAMESERVERS READY\nmgc-dev-mz test.hcpapps.net /hostedzone/Z08224701SVEG4XHW89W0 7 [\"ns-1414.awsdns-48.org\",\"ns-1623.awsdns-10.co.uk\",\"ns-684.awsdns-21.net\",\"ns-80.awsdns-10.com\"] True\n
You are now ready to begin creating a gateway!
- We will now create a multi-cluster gateway definition in the hub cluster:
kubectl --context kind-mgc-control-plane apply -f - <<EOF\napiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1\nkind: Gateway\nmetadata:\n name: prod-web\n namespace: multi-cluster-gateways\nspec:\n gatewayClassName: kuadrant-multi-cluster-gateway-instance-per-cluster\n listeners:\n - allowedRoutes:\n namespaces:\n from: All\n name: api\n hostname: \"*.$KUADRANT_ZONE_ROOT_DOMAIN\"\n port: 443\n protocol: HTTPS\n tls:\n mode: Terminate\n certificateRefs:\n - name: apps-hcpapps-tls\n kind: Secret\nEOF\n
"},{"location":"multicluster-gateway-controller/docs/how-to/multicluster-gateways-walkthrough/#enable-tls","title":"Enable TLS","text":" -
Create a TLSPolicy and attach it to your Gateway:
kubectl --context kind-mgc-control-plane apply -f - <<EOF\napiVersion: kuadrant.io/v1alpha1\nkind: TLSPolicy\nmetadata:\n name: prod-web\n namespace: multi-cluster-gateways\nspec:\n targetRef:\n name: prod-web\n group: gateway.networking.k8s.io\n kind: Gateway\n issuerRef:\n group: cert-manager.io\n kind: ClusterIssuer\n name: glbc-ca \nEOF\n
-
You should now see a Certificate resource in the hub cluster:
kubectl --context kind-mgc-control-plane get certificates -A\n
You should see the following: NAMESPACE NAME READY SECRET AGE\nmulti-cluster-gateways apps-hcpapps-tls True apps-hcpapps-tls 12m\n
It is possible to also use a letsencrypt certificate, but for simplicity in this walkthrough we are using a self-signed cert.
"},{"location":"multicluster-gateway-controller/docs/how-to/multicluster-gateways-walkthrough/#place-the-gateway","title":"Place the gateway","text":"In the hub cluster there will be a single gateway definition but no actual gateway for handling traffic yet. This is because we haven't placed the gateway yet onto any of our ingress clusters.
-
To place the gateway, we need to add a placement label to gateway resource to instruct the gateway controller where we want this gateway instantiated:
kubectl --context kind-mgc-control-plane label gateway prod-web \"cluster.open-cluster-management.io/placement\"=\"http-gateway\" -n multi-cluster-gateways\n
-
On the hub cluster you should find there is a configured gateway:
kubectl --context kind-mgc-control-plane get gateway -A\n
you'll see the following: multi-cluster-gateways prod-web kuadrant-multi-cluster-gateway-instance-per-cluster True 2m42s\n
Later on we will add in another ingress cluster and in that case you will see the instantiated gateway.
"},{"location":"multicluster-gateway-controller/docs/how-to/multicluster-gateways-walkthrough/#enable-dns","title":"Enable DNS","text":" -
Create a DNSPolicy and attach it to your Gateway:

Once this is done, the Kuadrant multi-cluster gateway controller will pick up when a HTTPRoute has been attached to the Gateway it is managing from the hub and it will setup a DNS record to start bringing traffic to that gateway for the host defined in that listener.
"},{"location":"multicluster-gateway-controller/docs/how-to/multicluster-gateways-walkthrough/#introducing-the-workload-clusters","title":"Introducing the workload clusters","text":"So now we have a working gateway with DNS and TLS configured. Let's place this gateway on the workload clusters and bring traffic to those gateways also.
-
We need to modify our placement to update our numberOfClusters to 2. To patch, run:
kubectl --context kind-mgc-control-plane patch placement http-gateway -n multi-cluster-gateways --type='json' -p='[{\"op\": \"replace\", \"path\": \"/spec/numberOfClusters\", \"value\": 2}]'\n
-
Run the following to see the gateway on the workload-1 cluster:
kubectl --context kind-mgc-workload-1 get gateways -A\n
You'll see the following NAMESPACE NAME CLASS ADDRESS PROGRAMMED AGE\nkuadrant-multi-cluster-gateways prod-web istio 172.31.201.0 90s\n
-
Run the following to see the gateway on the workload-2 cluster:
kubectl --context kind-mgc-workload-2 get gateways -A\n
You'll see the following NAMESPACE NAME CLASS ADDRESS PROGRAMMED AGE\nkuadrant-multi-cluster-gateways prod-web istio 172.31.202.0 90s\n
Additionally, you should be able to see a secret containing a self-signed certificate.
-
There should also be an associated TLS secret:
kubectl --context kind-mgc-workload-1 get secrets -n kuadrant-multi-cluster-gateways\n
you'll see the following: NAME TYPE DATA AGE\napps-hcpapps-tls kubernetes.io/tls 3 13m\n
And in the second workload cluster
kubectl --context kind-mgc-workload-2 get secrets -n kuadrant-multi-cluster-gateways\n
you'll see the following: NAME TYPE DATA AGE\napps-hcpapps-tls kubernetes.io/tls 3 13m\n
The listener is configured to use this TLS secret also. So now our gateway has been placed and is running in the right locations with the right configuration and TLS has been setup for the HTTPS listeners.
So now we have workload ingress clusters configured with the same Gateway.
-
Let's create the HTTPRoute in the first workload cluster. Again, remembering to replace the hostname accordingly if you haven't already set a value for the KUADRANT_ZONE_ROOT_DOMAIN variable as described in the Getting Started - Multi Cluster Guide:
kubectl --context kind-mgc-workload-1 apply -f - <<EOF\napiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1\nkind: HTTPRoute\nmetadata:\n name: my-route\nspec:\n parentRefs:\n - kind: Gateway\n name: prod-web\n namespace: kuadrant-multi-cluster-gateways\n hostnames:\n - \"echo.$KUADRANT_ZONE_ROOT_DOMAIN\"\n rules:\n - backendRefs:\n - name: echo\n port: 8080\n---\napiVersion: v1\nkind: Service\nmetadata:\n name: echo\nspec:\n ports:\n - name: http-port\n port: 8080\n targetPort: http-port\n protocol: TCP\n selector:\n app: echo \n---\napiVersion: apps/v1\nkind: Deployment\nmetadata:\n name: echo\nspec:\n replicas: 1\n selector:\n matchLabels:\n app: echo\n template:\n metadata:\n labels:\n app: echo\n spec:\n containers:\n - name: echo\n image: docker.io/jmalloc/echo-server\n ports:\n - name: http-port\n containerPort: 8080\n protocol: TCP \nEOF\n
-
Let's create the same HTTPRoute in the second workload cluster. Note the --context references the second cluster
kubectl --context kind-mgc-workload-2 apply -f - <<EOF\napiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1\nkind: HTTPRoute\nmetadata:\n name: my-route\nspec:\n parentRefs:\n - kind: Gateway\n name: prod-web\n namespace: kuadrant-multi-cluster-gateways\n hostnames:\n - \"echo.$KUADRANT_ZONE_ROOT_DOMAIN\"\n rules:\n - backendRefs:\n - name: echo\n port: 8080\n---\napiVersion: v1\nkind: Service\nmetadata:\n name: echo\nspec:\n ports:\n - name: http-port\n port: 8080\n targetPort: http-port\n protocol: TCP\n selector:\n app: echo \n---\napiVersion: apps/v1\nkind: Deployment\nmetadata:\n name: echo\nspec:\n replicas: 1\n selector:\n matchLabels:\n app: echo\n template:\n metadata:\n labels:\n app: echo\n spec:\n containers:\n - name: echo\n image: docker.io/jmalloc/echo-server\n ports:\n - name: http-port\n containerPort: 8080\n protocol: TCP \nEOF\n
-
If we take a look at the dnsrecord, you will see we now have two A records configured:
kubectl --context kind-mgc-control-plane get dnsrecord -n multi-cluster-gateways -o=yaml\n
-
Give DNS a minute or two to update. You should then be able to execute the following and get back the correct A record.
dig echo.$KUADRANT_ZONE_ROOT_DOMAIN\n
9. You should also be able to curl that endpoint curl -k https://echo.$KUADRANT_ZONE_ROOT_DOMAIN\n\n# Request served by echo-XXX-XXX\n

In order for it to do this, it must know about dns providers, and what domains these dns providers are currently hosting. This is done through the creation of ManagedZones and dns provider secrets containing the credentials for the dns provider account.
If for example a Gateway is created with a listener with a hostname of echo.apps.hcpapps.net:
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1\nkind: Gateway\nmetadata:\n name: prod-web\n namespace: multi-cluster-gateways\nspec:\n gatewayClassName: kuadrant-multi-cluster-gateway-instance-per-cluster\n listeners:\n - allowedRoutes:\n namespaces:\n from: All\n name: api\n hostname: echo.apps.hcpapps.net\n port: 80\n protocol: HTTP\n
In order for the DNSPolicy to act upon that listener, a ManagedZone must exist for that hostnames domain.
A secret containing the provider credentials must first be created:
kubectl create secret generic my-aws-credentials --type=kuadrant.io/aws --from-env-file=./aws-credentials.env -n multi-cluster-gateways\nkubectl get secrets my-aws-credentials -n multi-cluster-gateways -o yaml\napiVersion: v1\ndata:\n AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: <AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID>\n AWS_REGION: <AWS_REGION>\n AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: <AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>\nkind: Secret\nmetadata:\n name: my-aws-credentials\n namespace: multi-cluster-gateways\ntype: kuadrant.io/aws\n

We can do this though by adding geo-code attributes on the ManagedCluster to show which county each cluster is in. The values that can be used are determined by the dns provider (See Below).
Apply geo-code labels to each of our managed cluster resources:
kubectl label --overwrite managedcluster kind-mgc-workload-1 kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-geo-code=US\nkubectl label --overwrite managedcluster kind-mgc-workload-2 kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-geo-code=ES\n

In the above scenario any requests made in Spain will be returned the IP address of kind-mgc-workload-2 and requests made from anywhere else in the world will be returned the IP address of kind-mgc-workload-1. Weighting of records is still enforced between clusters in the same geo group, in the case above however they are having no effect since there is only one cluster in each group.
If an unsupported value is given to a provider, DNS records will not be created. Please choose carefully. For more information on what location is right for your needs please, read that provider's documentation (see links below).

Ideally we would allow them to express a strategy that they want to use without needing to get into the details of each provider and needing to create and maintain dns record structure and individual records for all the different gateways that may be within their infrastructure.
Use Cases
As a gateway admin, I want to be able to reduce latency for my users by routing traffic based on the GEO location of the client. I want this strategy to automatically expand and adjust as my gateway topology grows and changes.
As a gateway admin, I have a discount with a particular cloud provider and want to send more of my traffic to the gateways hosted in that providers infrastructure and as I add more gateways I want that balance to remain constant and evolve to include my new gateways.

- spoke cluster: a cluster managed by the hub control plane cluster. This is where gateway are instantiated
"},{"location":"multicluster-gateway-controller/docs/proposals/DNSPolicy/#proposal","title":"Proposal","text":"Provide a control plane DNSPolicy API that uses the idea of direct policy attachment from gateway API that allows a load balancing strategy to be applied to the DNS records structure for any managed listeners being served by the data plane instances of this gateway. The DNSPolicy also covers health checks that inform the DNS response but that is not covered in this document.
Below is a draft API for what we anticipate the DNSPolicy to look like
apiVersion: kuadrant.io/v1alpha1\nkind: DNSPolicy\nspec:\n targetRef: # defaults to gateway gvk and current namespace\n name: gateway-name\n health:\n ...\n loadBalancing:\n weighted:\n defaultWeight: 10\n custom: #optional\n - value: AWS #optional with both GEO and weighted. With GEO the custom weight is applied to gateways within a Geographic region\n weight: 10\n - value: GCP\n weight: 20\n GEO: #optional\n defaultGeo: IE # required with GEO. Chooses a default DNS response when no particular response is defined for a request from an unknown GEO.\n
"},{"location":"multicluster-gateway-controller/docs/proposals/DNSPolicy/#available-load-balancing-strategies","title":"Available Load Balancing Strategies","text":"GEO and Weighted load balancing are well understood strategies and this API effectively allow a complex requirement to be expressed relatively simply and executed by the gateway controller in the chosen DNS provider. Our default policy will execute a \"Round Robin\" weighted strategy which reflects the current default behaviour.
With the above API we can provide weighted and GEO and weighted within a GEO. A weighted strategy with a minimum of a default weight is always required and the simplest type of policy. The multi-cluster gateway controller will set up a default policy when a gateway is discovered (shown below). This policy can be replaced or modified by the user. A weighted strategy can be complimented with a GEO strategy IE they can be used together in order to provide a GEO and weighted (within a GEO) load balancing. By defining a GEO section, you are indicating that you want to use a GEO based strategy (how this works is covered below).
apiVersion: kuadrant.io/v1alpha1\nkind: DNSPolicy\nname: default-policy\nspec:\n targetRef: # defaults to gateway gvk and current namespace\n name: gateway-name\n loadBalancing:\n weighted: # required\n defaultWeight: 10 #required, all records created get this weight\n health:\n ... \n
In order to provide GEO based DNS and allow customisation of the weighting, we need some additional information to be provided by the gateway / cluster admin about where this gateway has been placed. For example if they want to use GEO based DNS as a strategy, we need to know what GEO identifier(s) to use for each record we create and a default GEO to use as a catch-all. Also, if the desired load balancing approach is to provide custom weighting and no longer simply use Round Robin, we will need a way to identify which records to apply that custom weighting to based on the clusters the gateway is placed on.
To solve this we will allow two new attributes to be added to the ManagedCluster resource as labels:
kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-geo-code: \"IE\"\n kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-custom-weight: \"GCP\"\n
These two labels allow setting values in the DNSPolicy that will be reflected into DNS records for gateways placed on that cluster depending on the strategies used. (see the first DNSPolicy definition above to see how these values are used) or take a look at the examples at the bottom.
example :
apiVersion: cluster.open-cluster-management.io/v1\nkind: ManagedCluster\nmetadata:\n labels:\n kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-geo-code: \"IE\"\n kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-custom-weight: \"GCP\"\nspec: \n
The attributes provide the key and value we need in order to understand how to define records for a given LB address based on the DNSPolicy targeting the gateway.
The kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-geo-code attribute value is provider specific, using an invalid code will result in an error status condition in the DNSrecord resource.

example:
apiVersion: cluster.open-cluster-management.io/v1\nkind: ManagedCluster\nmetadata:\n labels:\n kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-custom-weight: \"GCP\"\n
The above is then used in the DNSPolicy to set custom weights for the records associated with the target gateway.
- value: GCP\n weight: 20\n
So any gateway targeted by a DNSPolicy with the above definition that is placed on a ManagedCluster with the kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-custom-weight set with a value of GCP will get an A record with a weight of 20

none apex domain:
We will have a generated lb (load balancer) dns name that we will use as a CNAME for the listener hostname. This DNS name is not intended for use within a HTTPRoute but is instead just a DNS construct. This will allow us to set up additional CNAME records for that DNS name in the future that are returned based a GEO location. These DNS records will also be CNAMES pointing to specific gateway dns names, this will allow us to setup a weighted response. So the first layer CNAME handles balancing based on geo, the second layer handles balancing based on weighting.
shop.example.com\n | |\n (IE) (AUS)\n CNAME lb.shop.. lb.shop..\n | | | |\n (w 100) (w 200) (w 100) (w100)\n CNAME g1.lb.. g2.lb.. g3.lb.. g4.lb..\n A 192.. A 81.. CNAME aws.lb A 82..\n
When there is no geo strategy defined within the DNSPolicy, we will put everything into a default geo (IE a catch-all record) default.lb-{guid}.{listenerHost} but set the routing policy to GEO allowing us to add more geo based records in the future if the gateway admin decides to move to a geo strategy as their needs grow.
To ensure this lb dns name is unique and does not clash we will use a short guid as part of the subdomain so lb-{guid}.{listenerHost}. this guid will be based on the gateway name and gateway namespace in the control plane.
For a geo strategy we will add a geo record with a prefix to the lb subdomain based on the geo code. When there is no geo we will use default as the prefix. {geo-code}.lb-{guid}.{listenerHost}. Finally, for each gateway instance on a target cluster we will add a {spokeClusterName}.lb-{guid}.{listenerHost}
To allow for a mix of hostname and IP address types, we will always use a CNAME . So we will create a dns name for IPAddress with the following structure: {guid}.lb-{guid}.{listenerHost} where the first guid will be based on the cluster name where the gateway is placed.

These are handled differently by DNS as they often have NS and SOA records. Generally it is not possible to set up a CNAME for apex domain (although some providers allow it).
If a listener is added to a gateway that is an apex domain, we can only add A records for that domain to keep ourselves compliant with as many providers as possible. If a listener is the apex domain, we will setup A records for that domain (favouring gateways with an IP address or resolving the IP behind a host) but there will be no special balancing/weighting done. Instead, we will expect that the owner of that will setup a HTTPRoute with a 301 permanent redirect sending users from the apex domain e.g. example.com to something like: www.example.com where the www subdomain based listener would use the rules of the none apex domains and be where advanced geo and weighted strategies are applied.

In the cases 1 and 2, the result should be the same: All records are published to the DNS Provider.
When scenario 3 is encountered the following process should be followed:
For each gateway IP or CNAME: this should be omitted if unhealthy.\nFor each managed gateway CNAME: This should be omitted if all child records are unhealthy.\nFor each GEO CNAME: This should be omitted if all the managed gateway CNAMEs have been omitted.\nLoad balancer CNAME: This should never be omitted.\n

"},{"location":"multicluster-gateway-controller/docs/proposals/status-aggregation/#proposal","title":"Proposal","text":"To solve this problem, I'm proposing we leverage the status block in the control plane instance of that resource, aggregating the statuses to convey the necessary information.
"},{"location":"multicluster-gateway-controller/docs/proposals/status-aggregation/#status-conditions","title":"Status Conditions","text":"For example, if the Ready status condition type of a Gateway is True for all instances of the Gateway resource across all clusters, then the Gateway in the control plane will have the Ready status condition type also set to True.
status:\n conditions:\n - type: Ready\n status: True\n message: All listeners are valid\n
If the Ready status condition type of some instances is not True, the Ready status condition type of the Gateway in the control plane will be False.
status:\n conditions:\n - type: Ready\n status: False\n
In addition, if the Ready status condition type is False, the Gateway in the control plane should include a status message for each Gateway instance where Ready is False. This message would indicate the reason why the condition is not true for each Gateway.
status:\n conditions:\n - type: Ready\n status: False\n message: \"gateway-1 Listener certificate is expired; gateway-3 No listener configured for port 80\"\n
In this example, the Ready status condition type is False because two of the three Gateway instances (gateway-1 and gateway-3) have issues with their listeners. For gateway-1, the reason for the False condition is that the listener certificate is expired, and for gateway-3, the reason is that no listener is configured for port 80. These reasons are included as status messages in the Gateway resource in the control plane.
As there may be different reasons for the condition being False across different clusters, it doesn't make sense to aggregate the reason field. The reason field is intended to be a programmatic identifier, while the message field allows for a human readable message i.e. a semi-colon separated list of messages.
The lastTransitionTime and observedGeneration fields will behave as normal for the resource in the control plane.
"},{"location":"multicluster-gateway-controller/docs/proposals/status-aggregation/#addresses-and-listeners-status","title":"Addresses and Listeners status","text":"The Gateway status can include information about addresses, like load balancer IP Addresses assigned to the Gateway, and listeners, such as the number of attached routes for each listener. This information is useful at the control plane level. For example, a DNS Record should only exist as long as there is at least 1 attached route for a listener. It can also be more complicated than that when it comes to multi cluster gateways. A DNS Record should only include the IP Addresses of the Gateway instances where the listener has at least 1 attached route. This is important when initial setup of DNS Records happen as applications start. It doesn't make sense to route traffic to a Gateway where a listener isn't ready/attached yet. It also comes into play when a Gateway is displaced either due to changing placement decision or removal.
In summary, the IP Addresses and number of attached routes per listener per Gateway instance is needed in the control plane to manage DNS effectively. This proposal adds that information the hub Gateway status block. This will ensure a decoupling of the DNS logic from the underlying resource/status syncing implementation (i.e. ManifestWork status feedback rules)
First, here are 2 instances of a multi cluster Gateway in 2 separate spoke clusters. The yaml is shortened to highlight the status block.
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1\nkind: Gateway\nmetadata:\n name: gateway\nstatus:\n addresses:\n - type: IPAddress\n value: 172.31.200.0\n - type: IPAddress\n value: 172.31.201.0\n listeners:\n - attachedRoutes: 0\n conditions:\n name: api\n - attachedRoutes: 1\n conditions:\n name: web\n---\napiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1\nkind: Gateway\nmetadata:\n name: gateway\nstatus:\n addresses:\n - type: IPAddress\n value: 172.31.202.0\n - type: IPAddress\n value: 172.31.203.0\n listeners:\n - attachedRoutes: 1\n name: api\n - attachedRoutes: 1\n name: web\n
And here is the proposed status aggregation in the hub Gateway:
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1\nkind: Gateway\nmetadata:\n name: gateway\nstatus:\n addresses:\n - type: kuadrant.io/MultiClusterIPAddress\n value: cluster_1/172.31.200.0\n - type: kuadrant.io/MultiClusterIPAddress\n value: cluster_1/172.31.201.0\n - type: kuadrant.io/MultiClusterIPAddress\n value: cluster_2/172.31.202.0\n - type: kuadrant.io/MultiClusterIPAddress\n value: cluster_2/172.31.203.0\n listeners:\n - attachedRoutes: 0\n name: cluster_1.api\n - attachedRoutes: 1\n name: cluster_1.web\n - attachedRoutes: 1\n name: cluster_2.api\n - attachedRoutes: 1\n name: cluster_2.web\n
The MultiCluster Gateway Controller will use a custom implementation of the addresses and listenerers fields. The address type is of type AddressType, where the type is a domain-prefixed string identifier. The value can be split on the forward slash, /, to give the cluster name and the underlying Gateway IPAddress value of type IPAddress. Both the IPAddress and Hostname types will be supported. The type strings for either will be kuadrant.io/MultiClusterIPAddress and kuadrant.io/MultiClusterHostname
The listener name is of type SectionName, with validation on allowed characters and max length of 253. The name can be split on the period, ., to give the cluster name and the underlying listener name. As there are limits on the character length for the name field, this puts a lower limit restriction on the cluster names and listener names used to ensure proper operation of this status aggregation. If the validation fails, a status condition showing a validation error should be included in the hub Gateway status block.

Azure supports Weighted and Geolocation routing policies, but requires records to alias to a Traffic Manager resource that must also be created in the users account https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/traffic-manager/traffic-manager-routing-methods
Notes:
- A Traffic Manager Profile is created per record set and is created with a routing method (Weighted or Geographic) https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Network/LoadBalancingHubMenuBlade/~/TrafficManagers
- Only a singe IP can be added to a DNSRecord set. A traffic manager profile must be created and aliased from a DNSRecord set for anything that involves more than a single target.
- Significantly more resources to manage in order to achieve functionality comparable with Google and AWS.
- The modelling of the records is significantly different from AWS Route53, but the current DNSRecord spec could still work. The azure implementation will have to process the endpoint list and create traffic manager policies as required to satisfy the record set.
Given the example DNSRecord here describing a record set for a geo location routing policy with four clusters, two in two regions (North America and Europe), the following Azure resources are required.
Three DNSRecords, each aliased to a different traffic manager:
- dnsrecord-geo-azure-hcpapps-net (dnsrecord-geo.azure.hcpapps.net) aliased to Traffic Manager Profile 1 (dnsrecord-geo-azure-hcpapps-net)
- dnsrecord-geo-na.azure-hcpapps-net (dnsrecord-geo.na.azure.hcpapps.net) aliased to Traffic Manager Profile 2 (dnsrecord-geo-na-azure-hcpapps-net)
- dnsrecord-geo-eu.azure-hcpapps-net (dnsrecord-geo.eu.azure.hcpapps.net) aliased to Traffic Manager Profile 3 (dnsrecord-geo-eu-azure-hcpapps-net)
Three Traffic Manager Profiles:
- Traffic Manager Profile 1 (dnsrecord-geo-azure-hcpapps-net): Geolocation routing policy with two region specific FQDN targets (dnsrecord-geo.eu.azure.hcpapps.net and dnsrecord-geo.na.azure.hcpapps.net).
- Traffic Manager Profile 2 (dnsrecord-geo-na-azure-hcpapps-net): Weighted routed policy with two IP address endpoints (172.31.0.1 and 172.31.0.2) with equal weighting.
- Traffic Manager Profile 3 (dnsrecord-geo-eu-azure-hcpapps-net): Weighted routed policy with two IP address endpoints (172.31.0.3 and 172.31.0.4) with equal weighting.

Google supports Weighted(Weighted Round Robin) and Geolocation routing policies https://cloud.google.com/dns/docs/zones/manage-routing-policies. Both of these can be configured directly on records in Google Cloud DNS and no secondary Traffic Management resource is required.
Notes:
- Record sets are modelled as a single endpoint with routing policy embedded. This is a different approach to Route53 where each individual A/CNAME would have its own record entry.
- Weight must be an integer between 0 - 10000
- There are no continent options for region, only finer grained regions such as us-east1, europe-west-1 etc...
- There appears to be no way to set a default region, google just routes requests to the nearest supported region.
- The current approach used in AWS Route53 for geo routing will work in the same way on Google DNS. A single CNAME record with geo routing policy specifying multiple geo specific A record entries as targets.
- Geo and weighted routing can be combined, as with AWS Route53, allowing traffic with a region to be routed using weightings.
- The modelling of the records is slightly different from AWS, but the current DNSRecord spec could still work. The Google implementation of AddRecords will have to process the list of endpoints in order to group related endpoints in order to build up the required API request. In this case there would not be a 1:1 mapping between an endpoint in a DNSRecord and the dns provider, but the DNSRecord contents would be kept consistent across all providers and compatibility with external-dns would be maintained.
Example request for Geo CNAME record:
POST https://dns.googleapis.com/dns/v1beta2/projects/it-cloud-gcp-rd-midd-san/managedZones/google-hcpapps-net/rrsets

{\n \"name\": \"dnsrecord-geo.na.google.hcpapps.net.\",\n \"routingPolicy\": {\n \"wrr\": {\n \"item\": [\n {\n \"weight\": 60.0,\n \"rrdata\": [\n \"172.31.0.1\"\n ]\n },\n {\n \"weight\": 60.0,\n \"rrdata\": [\n \"172.31.0.2\"\n ]\n }\n ]\n }\n },\n \"ttl\": 60,\n \"type\": \"A\"\n}\n
Given the example DNSRecord here describing a record set for a geo location routing policy with four clusters, two in two regions (North America and Europe), the following resources are required.

The zone is operated on independently by each of DNS operator on both clusters to form a single cohesive record set. More details on this can be found in the following RFC document: TODO add link. The rate limit counters can also be shared and used by different clusters in order to provide global rate limiting. This is achieved by connecting each instance of Limitador to a shared data store that uses the Redis protocol. There is another option available for achieving multi-cluster connectivity (see intgrations below) that requires the use of a \"hub\" cluster and integration with OCM (open cluster management).
Shown above is a multi-cluster multi ingress gateway topology. This might be used to support a geographically distributed system for example. However, it is also possible to leverage overlay networking tools such as Skupper that integrate at the Kubernetes service level to have a single gateway cluster that then integrates with multiple backends (on different clusters or in custom infrastructure).

These policy extensions are focused around areas such as DNS management supporting global load balancing and health checks, alongside service protection specific APIs such as rate limiting and auth. Kuadrant also integrates with Open Cluster Management as a multi-cluster control plane to enable defining and distributing Gateways across multiple clusters, providing load balancing and tls management for these distributed gateways.

This controller offers its own APIs but also integrates with hub CRD based APIs (such as the placement API) along with the Gateway API CRD based APIs in order to provide multi-cluster Gateway capabilities to the hub and distribute actual gateway instances to the spokes. See the Open Cluster Management docs for further details on the hub spoke architecture.
As part of installing Kuadrant, the Gateway API CRDs are also installed into the hub cluster and Kuadrant defines a standard Gateway API GatewayClass resource that the multi-cluster gateway controller is the chosen controller for.
Once installed, an Open Cluster Management user can then (with the correct RBAC in place) define in the standard way a Gateway resource that inherits from the Kuadrant configured GatewayClass in the hub. There is nothing unique about this Gateway definition, the difference is what it represents and how it is used. This Gateway is used to represent a \"multi-cluster\" distributed gateway. As such there are no pods running behind this Gateway instance in the hub cluster, instead it serves as a template that the Kuadrant multi-cluster gateway controller reconciles and distributes to targeted spoke clusters. It leverages the Open Cluster Management APIs to distribute these gateways (more info below) and aggregates the status information from each spoke cluster instance of this gateway back to this central definition, in doing this it can represent the status of the gateway across multiple clusters but also use that information to integrate with DNS providers etc.
"},{"location":"architecture/docs/design/architectural-overview/#gateway-deployment-and-distribution","title":"Gateway Deployment and Distribution","text":"In order for a multi-cluster gateway to be truly useful, it needs to be distributed or \"placed\" on a specific set of hub managed spoke clusters. Open Cluster Management is responsible for a set of placement and replication APIs. Kuadrant is aware of these APIs, and so when a given gateway is chosen to be placed on a set of managed clusters, Kuadrant multi-cluster gateway controller will ensure the right resources (ManifestWork) are created in the correct namespaces in the hub. Open Cluster Management then is responsible for syncing these to the actual spoke cluster and reporting back the status of these resources to the Hub. A user would indicate which clusters they want a gateway placed on by using a Placement and then labeling the gateway using the cluster.open-cluster-management.io/placement label.
In order for the Gateway to be instantiated, we need to know what underlying gateway provider is being used on the spoke clusters. Admins can then set this provider in the hub via the GatewayClass params. In the hub, Kuadrant will then apply a transformation to the gateway to ensure when synced it references this spoke gateway provider (Istio for example).
It is the Open Cluster Management workagent that is responsible for syncing down and applying the resources into the managed spoke cluster. It is also responsible for syncing status information back to the hub. It is the multi-cluster gateway controller that is responsible for aggregating this status.
The status information reported back to the Hub is used by the multi-cluster gateway controller to know what LB hosts / IPAddresses to use for DNSRecords that it creates and manages.

- It registers Authorino with the
IstioOperator as an auth provider so that Authorino can be used as an external auth provider. - It leverages an
EnvoyFilter to register the rate limiting service as an upstream service. - Based on the Kuadrant
AuthPolicy, it leverages Istio's AuthorizationPolicy resource to configure when a request should trigger Authorino to be called for a given host, path and method etc. - It provides a WebAssembly (WASM) Plugin that conforms to the Proxy WASM ABI (application binary interface). This WASM Plugin is loaded into the underlying Envoy based gateway provider and configured via the Kuadrant Operator based on defined
RateLimitPolicy resources. This binary is executed in response to a HTTP request being accepted by the gateway via the underlying Envoy instance that provides the proxy layer for the Gateway (IE Envoy). This plugin is configured with the correct upstream rate limit service name and when it sees a request, based on the provided configuration, it will trigger a call to the installed Limitador that is providing the rate limit capabilities and either allow the request to continue or trigger a response to the client with a 429 (too many requests) HTTP code.

- We want to separate out the ocm integration into its own controller so that policies can evolve without a coupling to any one multi-cluster management solution
- We want to separate the policies into their own controller that is capable of supporting both single (without Open Cluster Management) and multi-cluster (with Open Cluster Management enabled) contexts, so that the barrier to entry is reduced for those starting with a single cluster
- We want to allow for an on cluster DNS Provider such as CoreDNS so that we can provide an implementation that is disconnected from any cloud provider and provides more flexible DNS setups.

Users of the RateLimitPolicy will immediately recognize elements of Envoy's Rate limit API in the definitions of the RateLimit type, with almost 1:1 correspondence between the Configuration type and its counterpart in the Envoy configuration. Although compatibility between those continue to be desired, leaking such implementation details to the level of the API can be avoided to provide a better abstraction for activators (\"matchers\") and payload (\"descriptors\"), stated by users in a seamless way.
Furthermore, the Limit type \u2013 used as well in the RLP's RateLimit type \u2013 implies presently a logical relationship between its inner concepts \u2013 i.e. conditions and variables on one side, and limits themselves on the other \u2013 that otherwise could be shaped in a different manner, to provide clearer understanding of the meaning of these concepts by the user and avoid repetition.

Such specific application endpoint is covered by the first HTTPRouteRule in the HTTPRoute (as a subset of GET or POST to any path that starts with /toys). However, to avoid binding limits to HTTPRouteRules that are more permissive than the actual intended scope of the limit, the RateLimitPolicy controller requires trigger matches to find identical matching rules explicitly defined amongst the sets of HTTPRouteMatches of the HTTPRouteRules potentially targeted.
As a consequence, by simply defining a trigger match for GET /toys/special in the RLP, the GET|POST /toys* HTTPRouteRule will NOT be bound to the limit definition. In order to ensure the limit definition is properly bound to a routing rule that strictly covers the GET /toys/special application endpoint, first the user has to modify the spec of the HTTPRoute by adding an explicit HTTPRouteRule for this case:

That would nonetheless cause a unexpected behavior of the limit triggered not strictly for GET /toys*, but also for POST /toys*.
To avoid extending the scope of the limit beyond desired, with no extra \"soft\" conditions, again the user must modify the spec of the HTTPRoute, so an exclusive HTTPRouteRule exists for the GET /toys* application endpoint:

These selectors in \"soft\" when conditions and counter qualifiers are thereby called well-known selectors.

The well-known data structure for building RL descriptor actions resembles Authorino's \"Authorization JSON\", whose context component consists of Envoy's AttributeContext type of the external authorization API (marshalled as JSON). Compared to the more generic RateLimitRequest struct, the AttributeContext provides a more structured and arguibly more intuitive relation between the data sources for the RL descriptors actions and their corresponding key names through which the values are referred within the RLP, in a context of predominantly serving for HTTP applications.
To keep compatibility with the Envoy Rate Limit API, the well-known data structure can optionally be extended with the RateLimitRequest, thus resulting in the following final structure.

Prone to consistency issues Typos and updates to the HTTPRoute can easily cause a mismatch and invalidate a RLP.
Two types of conditions \u2013 routeSelectors and when conditions Although with different meanings (evaluates in the gateway vs. evaluated in Limitador) and meant for expressing different types of rules (HTTPRouteRule selectors vs. \"soft\" conditions based on attributes not related to the HTTP request), users might still perceive these as two ways of expressing conditions and find difficult to understand at first that \"soft\" conditions do not accept expressions related to attributes of the HTTP request.

If, on one hand, it eliminates the risk of over-targeting, on the other hand, it does it at the cost of requiring excessively verbose policies written by the users, to the point of sometimes expecting user to have to specify trigger matching rules that are significantly more than what's originally and strictly intended.
E.g.:
On a HTTPRoute that contains the following HTTPRouteRules (simplified representation):
{ header: x-canary=true } \u2192 backend-canary\n{ * } \u2192 backend-rest\n
Where the user wants to define a RLP that targets { method: POST }. First, the user needs to edit the HTTPRoute and duplicate the HTTPRouteRules:
{ header: x-canary=true, method: POST } \u2192 backend-canary\n{ header: x-canary=true } \u2192 backend-canary\n{ method: POST } \u2192 backend-rest\n{ * } \u2192 backend-rest\n
Then, user needs to include the following trigger in the RLP so only full HTTPRouteRules are specified:
{ header: x-canary=true, method: POST }\n{ method: POST }\n
The first matching rule of the trigger (i.e. { header: x-canary=true, method: POST }) is beoynd the original user intent of targeting simply { method: POST }.
This issue can be even more concerning in the case of targeting gateways with multiple child HTTPRoutes. All the HTTPRoutes would have to be fixed and the HTTPRouteRules that cover for all the cases in all HTTPRoutes listed in the policy targeting the gateway.
"},{"location":"architecture/rfcs/0001-rlp-v2/#all-limit-definitions-apply-vs-limit-shadowing","title":"All limit definitions apply vs. Limit \"shadowing\"","text":"The proposed binding between limit definition and HTTPRouteRules that trigger the limits was thought so multiple limit definitions can be bound to a same HTTPRouteRule that triggers those limits in Limitador. That means that no limit definition will \"shadow\" another at the level of the RLP controller, i.e. the RLP controller will honour the intended binding according to the selectors specified in the policy.
Due to how things work as of today in Limitador nonetheless, i.e., the rule of the most restrictive limit wins, and because all limit definitions triggered by a given shared HTTPRouteRule, it might be the case that, across multiple limits triggered, one limit ends up \"shadowing\" other limits. However, that is by implementation of Limitador and therefore beyond the scope of the API.
An alternative to the approach of allowing all limit definitions to be bound to a same selected HTTPRouteRules would be enforcing that, amongst multiple limit definitions targeting a same HTTPRouteRule, only the first of those limits definitions is bound to the HTTPRouteRule. This alternative approach effectively would cause the first limit to \"shadow\" any other on that particular HTTPRouteRule, as by implementation of the RLP controller (i.e., at API level).
While the first approach causes an artificial Limitador condition of the form <policy-ns>/<policy-name>/<limit-name> == \"1\", the alternative approach (\"limit shadowing\") could be implemented by generating a descriptor of the following form instead: ratelimit.binding == \"<policy-ns>/<policy-name>/<limit-name>\".
The downside of allowing multiple bindings to the same HTTPRouteRule is that all limits apply in Limitador, thus making status report frequently harder. The most restritive rate limit strategy implemented by Limitador might not be obvious to users who set multiple limit definitions and will require additional information reported back to the user about the actual status of the limit definitions stated in a RLP. On the other hand, it allows enables use cases of different limit definitions that vary on the counter qualifiers, additional \"soft\" conditions, or actual rate limit values to be triggered by a same HTTPRouteRule.

On one hand, using when conditions for route filtering would make it easy to define limits when the HTTPRoute cannot be modified to include the special rule. On the other hand, users would miss information in the status. An HTTPRouteRule for GET|POST /toys*, for example, that is targeted with an additional \"soft\" when condition that specifies that the method must be equal to GET and the path exactly equal to /toys/special (see Example 3) would be reported as rate limited with extra details that this is in fact only for GET /toys/special. For small deployments, this might be considered acceptable; however it would easily explode to unmanageable number of cases for deployments with only a few limit definitions and HTTPRouteRules.
Moreover, by not specifying a more strict HTTPRouteRule for GET /toys/special, the RLP controller would bind the limit definition to other rules that would cause the rate limit filter to invoke the rate limit service (Limitador) for cases other than strictly GET /toys/special. Even if the rate limits would still be ensured to apply in Limitador only for GET /toys/special (due to the presence of a hypothetical \"soft\" when condition), an extra no-op hop to the rate limit service would happen. This is avoided with the current imposed limitation.

For the other cases where a limit definition still fails to select an HTTPRouteRule (e.g. due to mismatching trigger matches), the limit definition is not considered invalid. Possibly the limit definitions is considered \"stale\" (or \"orphan\"), i.e., not bound to any HTTPRouteRule.

A: For now, the domain/namespace field of the RL configuration (Envoy and Limitador ends) will be filled with a fixed (configurable) string (e.g. \"kuadrant\"). This can change in future to better support multi-tenancy and/or other use cases where a total sharding of the limit definitions within a same instance of Kuadrant is desired.
- How do we support lists of hostnames in Limitador conditions (single counter)? Should we open an issue for a new

A dynamic data plane value is typically a value of an attribute of the request or an Envoy Dynamic Metadata entry. It can be a value of the outer request being handled by the API gateway or proxy that is managed by Kuadrant (\"context request\") or an attribute of the direct request to the Kuadrant component that delivers the functionality in the data plane (rate-limiting or external auth).
A Well-known Selector is a construct of a policy API whose value contains a direct reference to a well-known attribute. The language of the well-known attributes and therefore what one would declare within a well-known selector resembles a JSON path for navigating a possibly complex JSON object.
Example 1. Well-known selector used in a condition
apiGroup: examples.kuadrant.io\nkind: PaintPolicy\nspec:\n rules:\n - when:\n - selector: auth.identity.group\n operator: eq\n value: admin\n color: red\n
In the example, auth.identity.group is a well-known selector of an attribute group, known to be injected by the external authorization service (auth) to describe the group the user (identity) belongs to. In the data plane, whenever this value is equal to admin, the abstract PaintPolicy policy states that the traffic must be painted red.
Example 2. Well-known selector used in a variable
apiGroup: examples.kuadrant.io\nkind: PaintPolicy\nspec:\n rules:\n - color: red\n alpha:\n dynamic: request.headers.x-color-alpha\n
In the example, request.headers.x-color-alpha is a selector of a well-known attribute request.headers that gives access to the headers of the context HTTP request. The selector retrieves the value of the x-color-alpha request header to dynamically fill the alpha property of the abstract PaintPolicy policy at each request.

As for the attributes inherited from Authorino, these are either based on Envoy's AttributeContext type of the external auth request API or from internal types defined by Authorino to fulfill the Auth Pipeline.
These two subsets of attributes are unified into a single set of well-known attributes. For each attribute that exists in both subsets, the name of the attribute as specified in the Envoy attributes subset prevails. Example of such is request.id (to refer to the ID of the request) superseding context.request.http.id (as the same attribute is referred in an Authorino AuthConfig).

However, it's less structured and it introduces another syntax for users to get familiar with.
This additional language competes with the language of the route selectors (RFC 0001), based on Gateway API's HTTPRouteMatch type.
Being \"soft-coded\" in the policy specs (as opposed to a hard-coded sub-structure inside of each policy type) does not mean it's completely decoupled from implementation in the control plane and/or intermediary data plane components. Although many attributes can be supported almost as a pass-through, from being used in a selector in a policy, to a corresponding value requested by the wasm-shim to its host, that is not always the case. Some translation may be required for components not integrated via wasm-shim (e.g. Authorino), as well as for components integrated via wasm-shim (e.g. Limitador) in special cases of composite or abstraction well-known attributes (i.e. attributes not available as-is via ABI, e.g. auth.identity in a RLP). Either way, some validation of the values introduced by users in the selectors may be needed at some point in the control plane, thus requiring arguably a level of awaresness and coupling between the well-known selectors specification and the control plane (policy controllers) or intermediary data plane (wasm-shim) components.

The Golang packages defining the common attributes across CRDs could be shared by the policy type definitions to reduce repetition. However, that approach would possibly involve a staggering number of new type definitions to cover all the cases for all the groups of attributes to be supported. These are constructs that not only need to be understood by the policy controllers, but also known by the user who writes a policy.
Additionally, all attributes, including new attributes occasionally introduced by Envoy and made available to the wasm-shim via ABI, would always require translation from the user-level abstraction how it's represented in a policy, to the actual form how it's used in the wasm-shim configuration and Authorino AuthConfigs.
Not implementing this proposal and keeping the current state of things mean little consistency between these common constructs for rules and conditions on how they are represented in each type of policy. This lack of consistency has a direct impact on the overhead faced by users to learn how to interact with Kuadrant and write different kinds of policies, as well as for the maintainers on tasks of coding for policy validation and reconciliation of data plane configurations.

Arguably, Authorino's perceived flexibility would not have been possible with the Authorization JSON selectors. Users can write quite sophisticated policy rules (conditions, variable references, etc) by leveraging the those dynamic selectors. Because they are backed by JSON-based machinery in the code, Authorino's selectors have very little to, in some cases, none at all variation compared Open Policy Agent's Rego policy language, which is often used side by side in the same AuthConfigs.
Authorino's Authorization JSON selectors are, in one hand, more restrict to the structure of the CheckRequest payload (context.* attributes). At the same time, they are very open in the part associated with the internal attributes built along the Auth Pipeline (i.e. auth.* attributes). That makes Authorino's Authorization JSON selectors more limited, compared to the Envoy attributes made available to the wasm-shim via ABI, but also harder to validate. In some cases, such as of deep references to inside objects fetched from external sources of metadata, resolved OPA objects, JWT claims, etc, it is impossible to validate for correct references.
Another experience learned from Authorino's Authorization JSON selectors is that they depend substantially on the so-called \"modifiers\". Many use cases involving parsing and breaking down attributes that are originally available in a more complex form would not be possible without the modifiers. Examples of such cases are: extracting portions of the path and/or query string parameters (e.g. collection and resource identifiers), applying translations on HTTP verbs into corresponding operations, base64-decoding values from the context HTTP request, amongst several others.

"},{"location":"architecture/rfcs/0003-dns-policy/#terms","title":"Terms","text":" - managed listener: This is a listener with a host backed by a DNS zone managed by the multi-cluster gateway controller
- hub cluster: control plane cluster that managed 1 or more spokes
- spoke cluster: a cluster managed by the hub control plane cluster. This is where gateway are instantiated
Provide a control plane DNSPolicy API that uses the idea of direct policy attachment from gateway API that allows a load balancing strategy to be applied to the DNS records structure for any managed listeners being served by the data plane instances of this gateway. The DNSPolicy also covers health checks that inform the DNS response but that is not covered in this document.
Below is a draft API for what we anticipate the DNSPolicy to look like
apiVersion: kuadrant.io/v1alpha1\nkind: DNSPolicy\nspec:\n targetRef: # defaults to gateway gvk and current namespace\n name: gateway-name\n health:\n ...\n loadBalancing:\n weighted:\n defaultWeight: 10\n custom: #optional\n - value: AWS #optional with both GEO and weighted. With GEO the custom weight is applied to gateways within a Geographic region\n weight: 10\n - value: GCP\n weight: 20\n GEO: #optional\n defaultGeo: IE # required with GEO. Chooses a default DNS response when no particular response is defined for a request from an unknown GEO.\n
"},{"location":"architecture/rfcs/0003-dns-policy/#available-load-balancing-strategies","title":"Available Load Balancing Strategies","text":"GEO and Weighted load balancing are well understood strategies and this API effectively allow a complex requirement to be expressed relatively simply and executed by the gateway controller in the chosen DNS provider. Our default policy will execute a \"Round Robin\" weighted strategy which reflects the current default behaviour.
With the above API we can provide weighted and GEO and weighted within a GEO. A weighted strategy with a minimum of a default weight is always required and the simplest type of policy. The multi-cluster gateway controller will set up a default policy when a gateway is discovered (shown below). This policy can be replaced or modified by the user. A weighted strategy can be complimented with a GEO strategy IE they can be used together in order to provide a GEO and weighted (within a GEO) load balancing. By defining a GEO section, you are indicating that you want to use a GEO based strategy (how this works is covered below).
apiVersion: kuadrant.io/v1alpha1\nkind: DNSPolicy\nname: default-policy\nspec:\n targetRef: # defaults to gateway gvk and current namespace\n name: gateway-name\n loadBalancing:\n weighted: # required\n defaultWeight: 10 #required, all records created get this weight\n health:\n ... \n
In order to provide GEO based DNS and allow customisation of the weighting, we need some additional information to be provided by the gateway / cluster admin about where this gateway has been placed. For example if they want to use GEO based DNS as a strategy, we need to know what GEO identifier(s) to use for each record we create and a default GEO to use as a catch-all. Also, if the desired load balancing approach is to provide custom weighting and no longer simply use Round Robin, we will need a way to identify which records to apply that custom weighting to based on the clusters the gateway is placed on.
To solve this we will allow two new attributes to be added to the ManagedCluster resource as labels:
kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-geo-code: \"IE\"\n kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-custom-weight: \"GCP\"\n
These two labels allow setting values in the DNSPolicy that will be reflected into DNS records for gateways placed on that cluster depending on the strategies used. (see the first DNSPolicy definition above to see how these values are used) or take a look at the examples at the bottom.
example :
apiVersion: cluster.open-cluster-management.io/v1\nkind: ManagedCluster\nmetadata:\n labels:\n kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-geo-code: \"IE\"\n kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-custom-weight: \"GCP\"\nspec: \n
The attributes provide the key and value we need in order to understand how to define records for a given LB address based on the DNSPolicy targeting the gateway.
The kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-geo-code attribute value is provider specific, using an invalid code will result in an error status condition in the DNSrecord resource.

"},{"location":"architecture/rfcs/0003-dns-policy/#custom-weighting","title":"Custom Weighting","text":"Custom weighting will use the associated custom-weight attribute set on the ManagedCluster to decide which records should get a specific weight. The value of this attribute is up to the end user.
example:
apiVersion: cluster.open-cluster-management.io/v1\nkind: ManagedCluster\nmetadata:\n labels:\n kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-custom-weight: \"GCP\"\n
The above is then used in the DNSPolicy to set custom weights for the records associated with the target gateway.
- value: GCP\n weight: 20\n
So any gateway targeted by a DNSPolicy with the above definition that is placed on a ManagedCluster with the kuadrant.io/lb-attribute-custom-weight set with a value of GCP will get an A record with a weight of 20

Details of the discarded alternative This alternative design would come in 3 stages: **Stage 1 : State of the policy CR defined by: application and validation of it** This first stage is a simple version where the operator only relies on itself, not checking the healthiness with the Kuadrant services, but just validating the Spec.  States rationale: * `Created`: The initial state. It announces that the policy has successfully being created, the operator acknowledges it. * `Applied`: This state is reached after the `Validation` event has being successfully passed. * `Failed`: This one would be set when the `Validation` process encounters an error. This could be either condition's failed/error state or a top-level condition. * `Updated`: From `Failed` or `Applied`, it could be triggered a `Spec Change` event that would move it to this state. **Stage 2: Further reconciliation check provides a new state** This following one, besides checking what the former stage does, it also adds the states reflecting the reconciliation process of any needed Kubernets object, Kuadrant Services custom resources and any other 3rd party CR required. An example would be in the case of the RLP, it would create/update the `ConfigMap` holding the `Limitador` config file.  States rationale: * `Applied`: The __Applied__ state would not be final, and would be preceding a `Reconciliation` event. * `Reconciled`: It communicates that the policy has successfully being reconciled, and any K8s object or required CR has been updated. * `Failed`: This one would be reached when either of `Validation` and `Reconcilation` processes have encounter any errors. **Stage 3: Final state of the policy CR defined by: health check with the Kuadrant services (post-reconciliation)** The final stage would bring a greater degree of accuracy, thanks for a final process that would check the healthiness and configuration version the Kuadrant services currently enforces.  States rationale: * `Reconciled`: This state would precede the \"Health check\" process graphed as `Service Probe` event. * `Enforced`: After a successful response of the `Service Probe`, this states communicates the policy is finally enforced. This is the final top-level condition. * `Failed`: Now this state could also be set after encountering errors in the `Service Probe` check.

In this context the advanced loadbalancing configuration is unnecessary, and the resulting DNSRecord can be created mapping individual listener hosts to a single DNS A or CNAME record by using the simple routing strategy in the DNSPolicy.
Example 1. DNSPolicy using simple routing strategy
apiVersion: kuadrant.io/v1alpha2\nkind: DNSPolicy\nmetadata:\n name: prod-web\n namespace: my-gateways\nspec:\n providerRef:\n name: my-route53-credentials\n targetRef:\n name: prod-web\n group: gateway.networking.k8s.io\n kind: Gateway\n routingStrategy: simple\n

In the example the api listener has a hostname myapp.mn.hcpapps.net that matches a hosted zone being managed by the provider referenced my-route53-credentials in the DNSPolicy. As the simple routing strategy is set in the DNSPolicy a DNSRecord resource with the following contents will be created:
apiVersion: kuadrant.io/v1alpha2\nkind: DNSRecord\nmetadata:\n name: prod-web-api\n namespace: my-gateways\nspec:\n providerRef:\n name: my-route53-credentials\n endpoints:\n - dnsName: myapp.mn.hcpapps.net\n recordTTL: 60\n recordType: A\n targets:\n - 172.31.200.0\n
The providerRef is included in the DNSRecord to allow the dns record controller to load the appropriate provider configuration during reconciliation and create the DNS records in the dns provider service e.g. route 53.
Example 2. DNSPolicy using simple routing strategy on multi cluster gateway
apiVersion: kuadrant.io/v1alpha2\nkind: DNSPolicy\nmetadata:\n name: prod-web\n namespace: my-gateways\nspec:\n providerRef:\n name: my-route53-credentials\n targetRef:\n name: prod-web\n group: gateway.networking.k8s.io\n kind: Gateway\n routingStrategy: simple\n
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1beta1\nkind: Gateway\nmetadata:\n name: prod-web\n namespace: my-gateways\nspec:\n gatewayClassName: kuadrant-multi-cluster-gateway-instance-per-cluster\n listeners:\n - allowedRoutes:\n namespaces:\n from: All\n name: api\n hostname: \"myapp.mn.hcpapps.net\"\n port: 80\n protocol: HTTP\nstatus:\n addresses:\n - type: kuadrant.io/MultiClusterIPAddress\n value: 172.31.200.0\n - type: kuadrant.io/MultiClusterIPAddress\n value: 172.31.201.0\n
Similar to example 1, except here the Gateway is a multi cluster gateway that has had its status updated by the Gateway controller to include kuadrant.io/MultiClusterIPAddress type addresses. As the simple routing strategy is set in the DNSPolicy a DNSRecord resource with the following contents will be created:

MGC's current work around is to update the Limitador CR after the deployment with the configuration setting for Redis Instance. This change would allow for the configuration of sub components before the Kuadrant is deployed.
This reduces the number of CRs that users of Kuadrant are required to modify to get the installation they require. The sub components CRs (Authorino, Limitador) never have to be modified by a Kuadrant user (and should never be modified by a Kuadrant User).
"},{"location":"architecture/rfcs/0006-kuadrant_sub_components_configurations/#guide-level-explanation","title":"Guide-level explanation","text":"As the Kuadrant operator would be responsible for reconciling these configurations into the requested components, restrictions and limitations can be placed on the components which maybe allowed in a standalone installation. An example in this space is the disk storage for Limitador which is a new feature and the Kuadrant installation may not want to support it till there is a proven track record for the feature.
For existing Kuadrant Users this may be a possible breaking changes if those users manually configure the Kuadrant sub components via their CRs. A guide can be created to help migrate the users configurations to the Kuadrant CR. This guide can be part of the release notes and/or possibly released before the release of Kuadrant.
The deployment configuration for each component can be placed in the Kuadrant CR. These configurations are then reconciled into the CRs for each component. Only the options below are exposed in the Kuadrant CR. All fields in the spec are optional.

The Kuadrant operator will watch for changes in the Authorino and Limitador CRs, reconciling back any changes that a user may do to these configurations. How ever Kuadrant operator will not reconcile fields that are given above. An example of this is the image field on the Authorino CR. This field allows a user to set the image that Authorino is deployed with. The feature is meant for dev and testing purposes. If a user wishes to use a different image, they can. Kuadrant assumes they know what they are doing but requires the user to set the change on the component directly.
Only the sub component operator will be responsible for actioning the configurations pasted from the Kuadrant CR to the sub components CR. This ensure no extra changes will be required in the sub operators to meet the needs of Kuadrant.
Status errors related to the configuration of the sub components should be reported back to the Kuadrant CR. The errors messages in Kuadrant state what components are currently having issue and which resource to review for more details.

The Kuadrant operator should only reconcile the spec that is given. This would mean if the user states the number of replicas to be used in one of the components only the replica field for that component should be reconciled. As the other fields would be blank at this stage, blank fields would not be reconciled to the component CR. By this behaviour a few things are being achieved. Component controllers define the defaults to be used in the components. Optional fields in the component CRs never get set with blank values. Blank values in the component CR could override the defaults of the components causing unexpected behaviour. Existing Kuadrant users may already have custom fields set in the component CRs. By only reconciling the fields set in the kuadrant CR this allows time for a user to migrate their custom configuration from the component CR to the Kuadrant CR.

One alternative that was being looked at was allowing the user to bring their own Limitador instances by stating which Limitador CR Kuadrant should use. A major point of issue with this approach was knowing what limits the user had configured and what limits Kuadrant configured. Sharing global counters is a valid reason to want to share Limitador instances. How ever it this case Limitador would not be using one replica and therefore would have a back-end storage configured. It is the back-end storage that needs to be shared across instances. This can be done with adding the configuration in the Kuadrant CR.

The QA team is responsible for testing the different components of the Kuadrant suite, and they need to be aware of the new version of the suite that is going to be released, what are the changes that are included, bug fixes and new features in order they can plan their testing processes accordingly. This check is not meant to be a fully fledged assessment from the QA team when it's handover to them, it's aimed to not take more than 1-2 days, and ideally expected to be fully automated. This step will happen once the release candidate has no PRs pending to be merged, and it has been tested by the Engineering team. The QA team should work closely to the engineering throughout the process, both teams aiming for zero handover time and continuous delivery mindset, so immediate testing can be triggered on release candidates once handed over. This process should happen without the need of formal communication between the teams or any overhead in general, but by keeping constant synergy between quality and product engineering instead.
There is an ideal time to hand over to the QA team for testing, especially since we are using GitHub for orchestration, we could briefly define it in the following steps:
- Complete Development Work: The engineering team completes their work included in the milestone.
- Create Release Candidate: The engineering team creates Release Candidate builds and manifests for all components required for the release
- Flagging/Testing: The QA team do the actual assertion/testing of the release candidate, checking for any obvious bugs or issues. Then QA reports all the bugs as GitHub issues and communicates testing status back publicly on Slack and/or email.
- Iterate: Based on the feedback from the QA team, the Engineering team makes any necessary adjustments and repeats the process until the release candidate is deemed ready for production.
- Publish Release: Once QA communicates that the testing has been successfully finished, the engineering team will publish the release both on Github and in the corresponding registries, updates documentation for the new release, and communicates it to all channels specified in Communication section.

The frequency of the releases of the different components could vary depending on the particular component needs. However, the Kuadrant Operator it's been discussed in the past that it should be released every 3-4 weeks initially, including the latest released version of every component in the suite. There's another RFC that focuses on the actual frequency of each component, one could refer to the Kuadrant Release Cadence RFC.
There are a few reasons for this:
- Delivering Unparalleled Value to Users: Regular releases can provide users with regular updates and improvements. These updates can include new features and essential bug fixes, thus enhancing the overall value delivered to the users.
- Resource Optimization: By releasing software at regular intervals, teams can align their activities with available resources and environments, ensuring optimal utilization. This leads to increased efficiency in the deployment process and reduces the risk of resource wastage.
- Risk Management: Regular releases can help identify and fix issues early, reducing the risk of major failures that could affect users.
- Feedback Cycle: Regular releases allow for quicker feedback cycles. This means that any issues or improvements identified by users can be addressed promptly, leading to a more refined product over time.
- Synchronization: Regular releases can help synchronize work across different teams or departments, creating a more reliable, dependable solution development and delivery process.
- Reduced Complexity: Managing a smaller number of releases can reduce complexity. For example, having many different releases out in the field can lead to confusion and management overhead.
By committing to a release cadence, software projects can benefit from improved efficiency, risk management, faster feedback cycles, synchronization, and reduced complexity.

"},{"location":"architecture/rfcs/0009-defaults-and-overrides/#summary","title":"Summary","text":"This is a proposal for extending the Kuadrant Policy APIs to fully support use cases of Defaults & Overrides (D/O) for Inherited Policies, including the base use cases of full default and full override, and more specific nuances that involve merging individual policy rules (as defaults or overrides), declaring constraints and unsetting defaults.
"},{"location":"architecture/rfcs/0009-defaults-and-overrides/#motivation","title":"Motivation","text":"As of Kuadrant Operator v0.6.0, Kuadrant policy resources that have hierarchical effect across the tree of network objects (Gateway, HTTPRoute), or what is known as Inherited Policies, provide only limited support for setting defaults and no support for overrides at all.
The above is notably the case of the AuthPolicy and the RateLimitPolicy v1beta2 APIs, shipped with the aforementioned version of Kuadrant. These kinds of policies can be attached to Gateways or to HTTPRoutes, with cascading effects through the hierarchy that result in one effective policy per gateway-route combination. This effective policy is either the policy attached to the Gateway or, if present, the one attached to the HTTRoute, thus conforming with a strict case of implicit defaults set at the level of the gateway.
Enhancing the Kuadrant Inherited Policy CRDs, so the corresponding policy instances can declare defaults and overrides stanzas, is imperative: 1. to provide full support for D/O along the lines proposed by GEP-713 (to be superseded by GEP-26491) of the Kubernetes Gateway API special group (base use cases); 2. to extend D/O support to other derivative cases, learnt to be just as important for platform engineers and app developers who require more granular policy interaction on top of the base cases; 3. to support more sophisticated hierarchies with other kinds of network objects and/or multiples policies targetting at the same level of the hierarchy (possibly, in the future.)

The base cases are expanded with the following additional derivative cases and concepts: - Merged defaults (DR): \"higher\" default policy rules that are merged into more specific \"lower\" policies (as opposed to an atomic less specific set of rules that is activated only when another more specific one is absent) - Merged overrides (OR): \"higher\" override policy rules that are merged into more specific \"lower\" policies (as opposed to an atomic less specific set of rules that is activated fully replacing another more specific one that is present) - Constraints (C): specialization of an override that, rather than declaring concrete values, specify higher level constraints (e.g., min value, max value, enums) for lower level values, with the semantics of \"clipping\" lower level values so they are enforced, in an override fashion, to be the boundaries dictated by the constraints; typically employed for constraining numeric values and regular patterns (e.g. limited sets) - Unsetting (U): specialization that completes a merge default use case by allowing lower level policies to disable (\"unset\") individual defaults set a higher level (as opposed to superseding those defaults with actual, more specific, policy rules with proper meaning)

targetRef (required): the reference to a hierarchical network object targeted by the policy, typed as a Gateway API PolicyTargetReference or PolicyTargetReferenceWithSectionName typedefaults: a block of default policy rules with further specification of a strategy (atomic set of rules or individual rules to be merged into lower policies), and optional conditions for applying the defaults down through the hierarchyoverrides: a block of override policy rules with further specification of a strategy (atomic set of rules or individual rules to be merged into lower policies), and optional conditions for applying the overrides down through the hierarchy- the bare policy rules block without further qualification as a default or override set of rules \u2013 e.g. the
rules field in a Kuadrant AuthPolicy, the limits field in a RateLimitPolicy.
Between the following mutually exclusive options, either one or the other shall be used in a policy: 1. defaults and/or overrides blocks; or 2. the bare set of policy rules (without further qualification as neither defaults nor overrides.)
In case the bare set of policy rules is used, it is treated implicitly as a block of defaults.
Supporting specifying the bare set of policy rules at the first level of the spec, alternatively to the defaults and overrides blocks, is a strategy that aims to provide: 1. more natural usability, especially for those who write policies attached to the lowest level of the hierarchy supported; as well as 2. backward compatibility for policies that did not support explicit D/O and later on have moved to doing so.
"},{"location":"architecture/rfcs/0009-defaults-and-overrides/#inherited-policies-that-declare-an-intent","title":"Inherited Policies that declare an intent","text":"A policy that does not specify D/O fields (defaults, overrides) is a policy that declares an intent.
One who writes a policy without specifying defaults or overrides, but only the bare set of policy rules, may feel like declaring a Direct Policy. Depending on the state of other policies indirectly affecting the same object or not, the final outcome can be the same as writing a direct policy. This is especially true when the policy that declares the intent targets an object whose kind is the lowest kind accepted by Kuadrant in the hierarchy of network resources, and there are no other policies with lower precedence.
Nevertheless, because other policies can affect the final behavior of the target (e.g. by injecting defaults, by overriding rules, by adding more definitions beneath), policies that simply declare an intent, conceptually, are still Inherited Policies.
Compared to the inherited policy that misses D/O blocks, these other policies affecting the behavior may be declared: - at higher levels in the hierarchy, - at lower levels in hierarchy, or even - at the same level in the hierarchy but happening to have lower precedence (if such case is allowed by the kind of policy.)
At any time, any one of these policies can be created and therefore the final behavior of a target should never be assumed to be equivalent to the intent declared by any individual policy in particular, but always collectively determined by the combination of all intents, defaults and overrides from all inherited policies affecting the target.
From GEP-2649:
If a Policy can be used as an Inherited Policy, it MUST be treated as an Inherited Policy, regardless of whether a specific instance of the Policy is only affecting a single object.
An inherited policy that simply declares an intent (i.e. without specifying D/O) will be treated as a policy that implicitly declares an atomic set of defaults, whether the policy targets higher levels in the hierarchy or lower ones. In the absence of any other conflicting policy affecting the same target, the behavior equals the defaults which equal the intent.
"},{"location":"architecture/rfcs/0009-defaults-and-overrides/#inherited-policies-that-modify-an-intent","title":"Inherited Policies that modify an intent","text":"A policy that specifies D/O fields (defaults, overrides) is a policy explicitly declared to modify an intent.
Without any other policy with lower precedence, there is no special meaning in choosing whether defaults or overrides in a inherited policy that targets an object whose kind is the lowest kind accepted by Kuadrant in the hierarchy of network resources. The sets of rules specified in these policies affect indistinctively the targeted objects, regardless of how they are qualified.
However, because other policies may ocasionally be declared with lower precedence (i.e. targeting lower levels in the hierarchy or due to ordering, see Conflict Resolution), one who declares a policy to modify an intent must carefuly choose between defaults and/or overrides blocks to organize the policy rules, regardless if the targeted object is of a kind that is the lowest kind in the hierarchy of network resources accepted by Kuadrant.
Even in the cases where no more than one policy of a kind is allowed to target a same object (1:1 relationship) and thus there should never exist two policies affecting a target from a same level of the hierarchy simultaneaously (or equivalently a policy with lower precedence than another, both at the lowest level of the hierarchy), users must assume that this constraint may change (i.e. N:1 relationship between policies of a kind and target become allowed.)
In all cases, defaults and overrides must be used with the semantics of declaring rules that modify an intent. - When an intent does not specify a rule for which there is a higher default declared, the default modifies the intent by setting the value specified by the default. - For an intent that whether specifies or omits a rule for which there is a higher override declared, the override modifies the intent by setting the value specified by the override.

Users can rely on the presence of that label to identify policy kinds whose instances are treated as inhertied policies.
In some exceptional cases, there may be kinds of Kuadrant policies that do not specify defaults and overrides blocks, but that are still labeled as inherited policy kinds. Instances of these kinds of policies implicitly declare an atomic sets of defaults, similarly to described in Inherited Policies that declare an intent.

The above is a proper Inherited Policy that sets a default atomic set of auth rules that will be set at lower objects in case those lower object do not have policies attached of their own at all.
The following is a sligthly different example that defines auth rules that will be individually merged into lower objects, evaluated one by one if already defined at the \"lower\" (more specific) level and therefore should take precedence, or if otherwise is missing at the lower level and therefore the default should be activated.

Each block of defaults and overrides must specify a strategy field whose value is set to either atomic or merge. If omitted, atomic is assumed.

atomic means that the level of granularity is the entire set of policy rules within the defaults or overrides block. I.e., the policy is atomic, or, equivalently, the final effective policy will be either one indivisible (\"atomic\") set of rules (\"policy\") or the other.
-
For the merge strategy, on the other hand, the granularity is of each named policy rule, where the name of the policy rule is the key and the value is an atomic object that specifies that policy rule. The final effective policy will be a merge of two policies.

The policy that sets higher in the hierarchy dictates the strategy to be applied.

"},{"location":"architecture/rfcs/0009-defaults-and-overrides/#unsetting-inherited-defaults","title":"Unsetting inherited defaults","text":"In some cases, it may be desirable to be able to unset, at a lower policy, a merged default that is inherited from a higher one. In fact, some inherited defaults could be harmful to an application, at the same time as they are unfeasible to remove from scope for all applications altogether, and therefore require an exception.
Unsetting defaults via specification at lower level policies provides users who own policy rules at different levels of the hirarchy the option of not having to coordinate those exceptions \"offline\", nor having to accept the addition of special cases (conditions) at the higher level to exempt only specific lower policies from being affected by a particular default, which otherwise would configure a violation of the inheritance pattern, as well as an imposition of additional cognitive complexity for one who reads a higher policy with too many conditions.
Instead, users should continue to be able to declare their intents through policies, and redeem an entitlement to unset unapplicable defaults, without any leakage of lower level details upwards at the higher policies.
The option of unsetting inherited defaults is presented as part of the volition implied by the inheritance of policy rules, which are tipically specified for the more general case (e.g. at the level of a gateway, for all routes), though not necessarily applicable for all special cases beneath. If enabled, this feature helps disambiguate the concept of \"default\", which should not be understood strictly as the option to set values that protect the system in case of lack of specialisation. Rather, by its property of volition and changeability. I.e., by definition, every default policy rule is opt-out and specifies a value that is modifiable.
In constrast, a policy rule that is neither opt-out nor modifiable better fits the definition of an override. While a policy rule that is not opt-out, nor it sets a concrete default value to be enforced in the lack of specialisation, defines a requirement.
Finally, for the use case where users want to set defaults that cannot be unset (though still modifable), the very feature of unsetting defaults itself should be configurable, at least at the level of the system. This can be achieved with feature switches and policy validation, including backed by the cluster's RBAC if needed.
The capability of unsetting inherited defaults from an effective policy can be identified by the presence of the spec.unset field in a policy. The value is a list of default named policy rules to be unset.
"},{"location":"architecture/rfcs/0009-defaults-and-overrides/#conditionally-applying-do","title":"Conditionally applying D/O","text":"Users should be able to specify conditions for applying their blocks of defaults and overrides. These conditions aim to support exceptional cases where the blocks cannot be simply applied downwards, but rather depend on specifics found in the lower policies, while still defined in generic terms \u2013 as opposed to conditions that leak details of individual lower policies upwards.
Between a higher and a lower set of policy rules, the higher level dictates the conditions for its rules to be applied (either as defaults or as overrides) over the lower level, and never the other way around.
D/O conditions are identfied by the presence of the spec.defaults.when or spec.overrides.when fields in a policy. Those should be defined using Common Expression Language (CEL), evaluated in the control plane against the lower level specification that the higher level is being applied to. I.e. self in the CEL expression is the lower policy.
A concrete useful application for conditionally enforcing a block of D/O is for specifying constraints for lower values. E.g. if a lower policy tries to set a value on a numeric field that is greater (or lower) than a given threshold, apply an override that sets that field value to equal to the threshold; otherwise, use the value declared by the lower policy.
In contrast, an example of trivially redundant application of D/O conditions would be specifying a default block of rules that is only applied when the lower level does not declare a more specific replacement. Since this is natural semantics of a default, one does not have to use conditions for that.

Combined with a simple case of override policy (see Examples C), the when condition field allows modeling for use cases of setting constraints for lower-level policies.
As here proposed, the value of the when condition field must be a valid Common Expression Language (CEL) expression.
Example E1. An override policy whose rules set constraints to field values of other policies at a lower level, overriding individual policy values of rules with same identification if those values violate the constraints - lower policy is compliant with the constraint
Example E2. An override policy whose rules set constraints to field values of other policies at a lower level, overriding individual policy values of rules with same identification if those values violate the constraints - lower level violates the constraint
Example E3. An override policy whose rules set constraints to field values of other policies at a lower level, overriding individual policy values of rules with same identification if those values violate the constraints - merge granularity problem
The following example illustrates the possibly unintended consequences of enforcing D/O at strict levels of granularity, and the flip side of the strategy field offering a closed set of options (atomic, merge).
On one hand, the API is simple and straightforward, and there are no deeper side effects to be concerned about, other than at the two levels provided (atomic sets or merged individual policy rules.) On the other hand, this design may require more offline interaction between the actors who manage conflicting policies.

Often policies rules include references to other Kubernetes objects, such as Secrets, typically defined in the same namespace as the policy object. When merging policies from different namespaces, these references need to be taken into account.
If not carried along with the derivative resources (e.g. Authorino AuthConfig objects) that are created from a merge of policies (or from the computed effective policy), composed out of definitions from different namespaces, and that depend on those references, these references to external objects can be broken.
This is not much of a problem for atomic D/O only, as the derivative objects that depend on the references could be forced to be created in the same namespace as the policy that wins against all the others \u2013 and therefore in the same namespace of the winning referents as well. However, when merging policies, we can run into a situation where final effective policies (thus also other derivative resources) contain references to objects inherited from definitions from other namespaces.
Possible solutions to this problem include: 1. Copying the referenced objects into the namespace where the derivative resources will be created. - Involves maintaining (watching and reconciling) those referenced objects - May raise security concerns 2. Allowing derivative resources (e.g. Authorino AuthConfigs) to reference objects across namespaces, as well as giving permissions to the components that process those references (e.g. Authorino) to read across namespaces - May raise security concerns - Should probably be restricted to derivative resources created by Kuadrant and not allowed to users who create the derivative resources themselves

The UX for one who writes a Kuadrant policy of the inherited class of policies is arguably not very different from writing any custom resource that happens to specify a targetRef field. Other than name and kind of target object, there is nothing much in a Kuadrant policy custom resource that provides the user with an experience almost close to be \"adding fields\" in the target object.
With the exception of a few types reused for the route selectors, the spec of a Kuadrant policy is very different from the spec of the object that ultimately the policy augments, i.e. the spec of the route object. This remains basically unchanged after this RFC. However, another way to think on the design of those APIs is one where, in contrast, the specs of the policies partially mirror the spec of the route, so users can write policies in a more intuitive fashion, as if the definitions of the policy would look like extensions of the routes they target (directly or by targeting gateways the routes are attached to.)
E.g.:
kind: HTTPRoute\nmetadata:\n name: my-route\nspec:\n rules:\n - name: rule-1\n matches:\n - method: GET\n backendRef: {\u2026}\n - name: rule-2\n backendRef: {\u2026}\n
An inherited policy that targets the HTTPRoute above could otherwise look like the following:
kind: Policy\nmetadata:\n name: my-policy\nspec:\n targetRef:\n kind: HTTPRoute\n name: my-route\n defaults: # mirrors the spec of the httproute object\n policySpecificDef: {\u2026} # augments the entire httproute object\n overrides: # mirrors the spec of the httproute object\n rules:\n - name: rule-2\n policySpecificDef: {\u2026} # augments only httprouterule rule-2 of the httproute object\n
The above already is somewhat closer to being true for the AuthPolicy API, than it is for the RateLimitPolicy one. However, that is strictly coincidental, because the AuthPolicy's spec happens to specify a rules field, where the equivalent at the same level in RateLimitPolicy is called limits.
This alternative design could make writing policies more like defining filters in an HTTPRoute, with the difference that policies are external to the target they extend (while filters are internal.) At the same time, it could be a replacement for Kuadrant route selectors, where the context of applicability of a policy rule is given by the very structure within the spec how the policy rule is declared (resembling the one of the target), thus also would shaping context for D/O.
One caveat of this design though is that each policy specific definition (i.e. the rule specification that extends the object at a given point defined by the very structure of the spec) is exclusive of that given point in the structure of the object. I.e., one cannot specify a single policy rule that augments N > 1 specific rules of a target HTTPRoute.
Due to its relevance to the design of the API that enables D/O, this was left as an unresolved question. To be nonetheless noticed that, as a pattern, this alternative API design extends beyond inherited policies, impacting as well the direct policy kinds DNSPolicy and TLSPolicy.

Instead, Kuadrant enforces 1:1 relationship between policies of a kind and target resources.
Supporting N:1 relationships could enable use cases such as of App Developers defining D/O for each other at the same level of a shared xRoute, as well as Platform Engineers setting different policy rules on the same Gateway.
This could provide an alternative to achieving separation of concerns for complex policy kinds such as the AuthPolicy, where different users could be responsible for authentication and authorization, without necessarily depending on defining new kinds of policies.
"},{"location":"architecture/rfcs/0009-defaults-and-overrides/#route-rule-name-and-targetrefsectionname","title":"Route rule name and targetRef.sectionName","text":"If Gateway API's GEP-995 is accepted (i.e. kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api#2593 gets merged) and the name field for route rules implemented in the APIs (HTTPRoute and GRPCRoute), this could impact how Kuadrant delivers D/O. Although the semantics could remain the same, the users specify the scope for a given set of policy rules could simplify significantly.
As of today, Kuadrant's AuthPolicy and RateLimitPolicy APIs allow users to target sections of a HTTPRoute based on route selectors, and thus all the conflict resolution involved in handling D/O must take that logics into account.
With named route rules supported by Gateway API, either route selectors could be redefined in a simpler form where each selector consists of a list of names of rules and/or entire policies could be scoped for a section of a resource, by defining the targetRef field based on the PolicyTargetReferenceWithSectionName type.
To be noted GEP-2649's recommendation of not defining inherited policies that allow for sectionName in the targetRef. Nonetheless, this is a general rule from the spec said to be acceptable to be broken in the spirit of offering better functionality to users, provided it can deal with the associated discoverability and complexity problems of this feature.
"},{"location":"architecture/rfcs/0009-defaults-and-overrides/#use-listmaptype-instead-of-maps-of-policy-rules","title":"Use listMapType instead of maps of policy rules","text":"Despite having recently modified the AuthPolicy and RateLimitPolicy APIs to use maps for declaring policy rules instead of lists (RFC 0001), reverting this design in future versions of these APIs, plus treating those lists as listMapType, could let us leverage the API server's strategic merge type to handle merges between policy objects.
In the Policy CRDs, the policy rule types must specify a name field (required). The list of rules type (i.e. []Rule) must then speficy the following Kubebuilder CRD processing annotations:
// +listType=map\n// +listMapKey=name\n

As the time of writing, GEP-713 (Kubernetes Gateway API, SIG-NETWORK) is under revision, expected to be split into two separate GEPs, one for Direct Policies (GEP-2648) and one for Inherited Policies (GEP-2649.) Once these new GEPs supersede GEP-713, all references to the previous GEP in this document must be updated to GEP-2649.\u00a0\u21a9

In this particular example, the endpoint GET /dog will be protected. The token needs to be in the query string of the request included in a parameter named dog_token. Kuadrant will validate received tokens against tokens found in kubernetes secrets with label kuadrant.io/apikeys-by: ${sec scheme name}. In this particular example the label selector will be: kuadrant.io/apikeys-by: securedDog.
Like the following example:
apiVersion: v1\nkind: Secret\nmetadata:\n name: api-key-1\n labels:\n authorino.kuadrant.io/managed-by: authorino\n kuadrant.io/apikeys-by: securedDog\nstringData:\n api_key: MYSECRETTOKENVALUE\ntype: Opaque\n
Note: Kuadrant validates tokens against api keys found in secrets. The label selector format kuadrant.io/apikeys-by: ${sec scheme name} is arbitrary and designed for this CLI command.

- Create a new realm
petstore - Create a client
petstore. In the Client Protocol field, select openid-connect. - Configure client settings. Access Type to public. Direct Access Grants Enabled to ON (for this example password will be used directly to generate the token).
- Add a user to the realm

- Type the username
bob, set the Email Verified switch to ON, and click Save. - On the Credentials tab, set the password
p. Enter the password in both the fields, set the Temporary switch to OFF to avoid the password reset at the next login, and click Set Password.
Now, let's run local cluster to test the kuadrantctl new command to generate authpolicy.
git clone https://github.com/Kuadrant/kuadrantctl.git\ncd kuadrantctl\n
- Setup a cluster, Istio and Gateway API CRDs and Kuadrant
Use our single-cluster quick start script - this will install Kuadrant in a local kind cluster: https://docs.kuadrant.io/getting-started-single-cluster/
- Build and install CLI in
bin/kuadrantctl path
make install\n
- Deploy petstore backend API
kubectl create namespace petstore\nkubectl apply -n petstore -f examples/petstore/petstore.yaml\n
- Let's create Petstore's OpenAPI spec
cat <<EOF >petstore-openapi.yaml\n---\nopenapi: \"3.1.0\"\ninfo:\n title: \"Pet Store API\"\n version: \"1.0.0\"\n x-kuadrant:\n route:\n name: \"petstore\"\n namespace: \"petstore\"\n hostnames:\n - example.com\n parentRefs:\n - name: istio-ingressgateway\n namespace: istio-system\nservers:\n - url: https://example.io/api/v1\npaths:\n /cat:\n x-kuadrant:\n backendRefs:\n - name: petstore\n port: 80\n namespace: petstore\n get: # No sec requirements\n operationId: \"getCat\"\n responses:\n 405:\n description: \"invalid input\"\n post: # API key\n operationId: \"postCat\"\n security:\n - cat_api_key: []\n responses:\n 405:\n description: \"invalid input\"\n /dog:\n x-kuadrant:\n backendRefs:\n - name: petstore\n port: 80\n namespace: petstore\n get: # OIDC\n operationId: \"getDog\"\n security:\n - oidc:\n - read:dogs\n responses:\n 405:\n description: \"invalid input\"\n /snake:\n x-kuadrant:\n backendRefs:\n - name: petstore\n port: 80\n namespace: petstore\n get: # OIDC or API key\n operationId: \"getSnake\"\n security:\n - oidc: [\"read:snakes\"]\n - snakes_api_key: []\n responses:\n 405:\n description: \"invalid input\"\ncomponents:\n securitySchemes:\n cat_api_key:\n type: apiKey\n name: api_key\n in: header\n oidc:\n type: openIdConnect\n openIdConnectUrl: https://${KEYCLOAK_PUBLIC_DOMAIN}/auth/realms/petstore\n snakes_api_key:\n type: apiKey\n name: snake_token\n in: query\nEOF\n

Note: the label's value of kuadrant.io/apikeys-by: cat_api_key is the name of the sec scheme of the OpenAPI spec.

Note: the label's value of kuadrant.io/apikeys-by: snakes_api_key is the name of the sec scheme of the OpenAPI spec.
- Create the HTTPRoute using the CLI
bin/kuadrantctl generate gatewayapi httproute --oas petstore-openapi.yaml | kubectl apply -n petstore -f -\n
- Create Kuadrant's Auth Policy
bin/kuadrantctl generate kuadrant authpolicy --oas petstore-openapi.yaml | kubectl apply -n petstore -f -\n
Now, we are ready to test OpenAPI endpoints
GET /api/v1/cat -> It's a public endpoint, hence should return 200 Ok
curl -H \"Host: example.com\" -i \"http://127.0.0.1:9080/api/v1/cat\"\n
POST /api/v1/cat -> It's a protected endpoint with apikey
Without any credentials, it should return 401 Unauthorized
curl -H \"Host: example.com\" -X POST -i \"http://127.0.0.1:9080/api/v1/cat\"\n
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized\nwww-authenticate: Bearer realm=\"getDog_oidc\"\nwww-authenticate: Bearer realm=\"getSnake_oidc\"\nwww-authenticate: snake_token realm=\"getSnake_snakes_api_key\"\nwww-authenticate: api_key realm=\"postCat_cat_api_key\"\nx-ext-auth-reason: {\"postCat_cat_api_key\":\"credential not found\"}\ndate: Tue, 28 Nov 2023 22:28:44 GMT\nserver: istio-envoy\ncontent-length: 0\n
The reason headers tell that credential not found. Credentials satisfying postCat_cat_api_key authentication is needed.
According to the OpenAPI spec, it should be a header named api_key. What if we try a wrong token? one token assigned to other endpoint, i.e. I_LIKE_SNAKES instead of the valid one I_LIKE_CATS. It should return 401 Unauthorized.
curl -H \"Host: example.com\" -H \"api_key: I_LIKE_SNAKES\" -X POST -i \"http://127.0.0.1:9080/api/v1/cat\"\n
HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized\nwww-authenticate: Bearer realm=\"getDog_oidc\"\nwww-authenticate: Bearer realm=\"getSnake_oidc\"\nwww-authenticate: snake_token realm=\"getSnake_snakes_api_key\"\nwww-authenticate: api_key realm=\"postCat_cat_api_key\"\nx-ext-auth-reason: {\"postCat_cat_api_key\":\"the API Key provided is invalid\"}\ndate: Tue, 28 Nov 2023 22:32:55 GMT\nserver: istio-envoy\ncontent-length: 0\n
The reason headers tell that the API Key provided is invalid. Using valid token (from the secret cat-api-key-1 assigned to POST /api/v1/cats) in the api_key header should return 200 Ok
curl -H \"Host: example.com\" -H \"api_key: I_LIKE_CATS\" -X POST -i \"http://127.0.0.1:9080/api/v1/cat\"\n
GET /api/v1/dog -> It's a protected endpoint with oidc (assigned to our keycloak instance and petstore realm)
without credentials, it should return 401 Unauthorized
curl -H \"Host: example.com\" -i \"http://127.0.0.1:9080/api/v1/dog\"\n
To get the authentication token, this example is using Direct Access Grants oauth2 grant type (also known as Client Credentials grant type). When configuring the Keycloak (OIDC provider) client settings, we enabled Direct Access Grants to enable this procedure. We will be authenticating as bob user with p password. We previously created bob user in Keycloak in the petstore realm.
export ACCESS_TOKEN=$(curl -k -H \"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\" \\\n -d 'grant_type=password' \\\n -d 'client_id=petstore' \\\n -d 'scope=openid' \\\n -d 'username=bob' \\\n -d 'password=p' \"https://${KEYCLOAK_PUBLIC_DOMAIN}/auth/realms/petstore/protocol/openid-connect/token\" | jq -r '.access_token')\n
Replace ${KEYCLOAK_PUBLIC_DOMAIN} with your SSO instance domain
With the access token in place, let's try to get those puppies
curl -H \"Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN\" -H 'Host: example.com' http://127.0.0.1:9080/api/v1/dog -i\n
it should return 200 OK
GET /api/v1/snake -> It's a protected endpoint with oidc (assigned to our keycloak instance and petstore realm) OR with apiKey
This example is to show that multiple security requirements (with OR semantics) can be specified for an OpenAPI operation.
Without credentials, it should return 401 Unauthorized
curl -H \"Host: example.com\" -i \"http://127.0.0.1:9080/api/v1/snake\"\n
With the access token in place, it should return 200 OK (unless the token has expired).
curl -H \"Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN\" -H 'Host: example.com' http://127.0.0.1:9080/api/v1/snake -i\n
With apiKey it should also work. According to the OpenAPI spec security scheme, it should be a query string named snake_token and the token needs to be valid token (from the secret snake-api-key-1 assigned to GET /api/v1/snake)
curl -H 'Host: example.com' -i \"http://127.0.0.1:9080/api/v1/snake?snake_token=I_LIKE_SNAKES\"\n

- Use ArgoCD to sync these changes via a Git respository to a Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster

Apicurio Studio is a UI tool for visualising and editing OpenAPI specifications. It has support for visualising security and extensions defined in your spec.
This guide assumes you have Apicurio Studio already running. See https://www.apicur.io/studio/ for info on how to install Apicurio Studio.

You can modify the source of the spec from the UI. There are a few different configuration and extension points supported by Apicurio Studio, and also supported by the kuadrantctl cli.
To generate a HTTPRoute for the API, add the following x-kuadrant block to your spec in the UI, replacing values to match your APIs details and the location of your Gateway.
info:\n x-kuadrant:\n route:\n name: petstore\n namespace: petstore\n hostnames:\n - 'petstore.example.com'\n parentRefs:\n - name: prod-web\n namespace: kuadrant-multi-cluster-gateways\n kind: Gateway\n
See this guide for more info on generating a HTTPRoute.
To generate an AuthPolicy, add a securityScheme to the components block. This securityScheme requires that an API key header is set. Although securityScheme is not an OpenAPI extension, it is used by kuadrantctl like the other extensions mentioned here.
securitySchemes:\n api_key:\n type: apiKey\n name: api_key\n in: header\n
When added, the UI will display this in the security schemes section:
See this guide for more info on generating an AuthPolicy.
To generate a RateLimitPolicy for the API, add the following x-kuadrant block to a path in your spec, replacing values to match your APIs details.
paths:\n /:\n x-kuadrant:\n backendRefs:\n -\n name: petstore\n namespace: petstore\n port: 8080\n rate_limit:\n rates:\n -\n limit: 10\n duration: 10\n unit: second\n

By creating a ManagedZone we are instructing the MGC about a domain or subdomain that can be used as a host by any gateways in the same namespace. These gateways can use a subdomain of the ManagedZone.
If a gateway attempts to a use a domain as a host, and there is no matching ManagedZone for that host, then that host on that gateway will fail to function.
A gateway's host will be matched to any ManagedZone that the host is a subdomain of, i.e. test.api.hcpapps.net will be matched by any ManagedZone (in the same namespace) of: test.api.hcpapps.net, api.hcpapps.net or hcpapps.net.
When MGC wants to create the DNS Records for a host, it will create them in the most exactly matching ManagedZone. e.g. given the zones hcpapps.net and api.hcpapps.net the DNS Records for the host test.api.hcpapps.net will be created in the api.hcpapps.net zone.

"},{"location":"dns-operator/docs/managedzone/#delegation","title":"Delegation","text":"Delegation allows you to give control of a subdomain of a root domain to MGC while the root domain has it's DNS zone elsewhere.
In the scenario where a root domain has a zone outside Route53, e.g. external.com, and a ManagedZone for delegated.external.com is required, the following steps can be taken: - Create the ManagedZone for delegated.external.com and wait until the status is updated with an array of nameservers (e.g. ns1.hcpapps.net, ns2.hcpapps.net). - Copy these nameservers to your root zone for external.com, you can create a NS record for each nameserver against the delegated.external.com record.
For example:
delegated.external.com. 3600 IN NS ns1.hcpapps.net.\ndelegated.external.com. 3600 IN NS ns2.hcpapps.net.\n
Now, when MGC creates a DNS record in it's Route53 zone for delegated.external.com, it will be resolved correctly.

"},{"location":"dns-operator/docs/RFC/distributed-dns/dnsrecord-lifecycle/","title":"List of issues","text":" - Re-queue validation intermittently GH-36
- Re-queue DNS Record whenever a write to the Cloud Provider occurs GH-35
- Schedule removal of finalizer from DNS Records GH-38
- Record write attempts in status for current generation GH-34
"},{"location":"dns-operator/docs/RFC/distributed-dns/dnsrecord-lifecycle/#the-idea","title":"The idea","text":"We now will constantly reconcile DNS records. The reasoning is that other controllers may override/change records in the DNS provider so there is a need to requeue the DNS Record from time to time even when no local changes are introduced.
"},{"location":"dns-operator/docs/RFC/distributed-dns/dnsrecord-lifecycle/#details","title":"Details","text":"There are a few new fields on the DNS Record status: * QueuedAt is a time when the DNS record was received for the reconciliation * QueuedFor is a time when we expect a DNS record to be reconciled again * ValidFor indicates the duration since the last reconciliation we consider data in the record to be valid * WriteCounter represents a number of consecutive write attempts on the same generation of the record. It is being reset to 0 when the generation changes or there are no changes to write.
There is an option to override the ValidFor and DefaultRequeueTime with valid-for and requeue-time flags respectively.
The DefaultRequeueTime is the duration between successful validation and the next reconciliation to ensure that the record is still up-to-date.
The ValidFor is used to determine if we should do a full reconciliation when we get the record. If the record is still valid we will only update finalizers and validate the record itself. It will not perform anything that involves a DNS provider.
"},{"location":"dns-operator/docs/RFC/distributed-dns/dnsrecord-lifecycle/#dns-record-normal-lifecycle","title":"DNS Record normal lifecycle","text":"Once we enqueue the DNS record, controller will compile a list of changes to the DNS provider and will apply it. After this, the record is enqueued with the validationRequeueTime and the Ready condition will be marked as false with a message Awaiting Validation. When the record is received again and the controller ensures there are no changes needed (the ones applied are present in the DNS Provider) it sets the Ready condition to true and enqueues it with the defaultRequeueTime.
At any time when the record is requeued we also set the record.Status.QueuedFor field with a timestamp for when we expect to receive the record again. And on every reconciliation we set the record.Status.QueuedAt to be the time of the reconciliation.
Upon deletion, the process will be similar. The controller will determine the changes needed to the DNS provider and will apply them. The record will be requeued with the validationRequeueTime. Once we receive it back and ensure that there are no changes needed for the DNS provider we remove the finalizer from the record.
The validationRequeueTime duration is randomized +/- 50%.
"},{"location":"dns-operator/docs/RFC/distributed-dns/dnsrecord-lifecycle/#when-things-go-south","title":"When things go south","text":"If the record is received prematurely - the ValidFor + QueuedAt is more than the current time - we requeue it again for the ValidFor duration.
When we encounter an error during the reconciliation we will not requeue the record and will put in an appropriate error message in the log and on the record. In order for it to reconcile again there must be a change to the DNS Record CR.
It is possible for a user to mess with the timestamps field or the ValidFor field. Kubernetes will not let setting an invalid value to the timestamp fields. Once the timestamp fields are set manually it will trigger reconciliation since there is a change in the record CR. The only one that could impact the controller is the QueuedAt field and the controller will believe that to be the last time the record was reconciled. As for the ValidFor: since it is a simple string it is possible to set an incorrect value. If we fail to parse it we treat the ValidFor as 0. This means that the controller will believe that the information in the record is expired and will probe the DNS provider for an update. If a valid value is provided controller will obey it. Eventually, the controller will naturally enqueue the record and those values will be overridden.
In case the controller fails to retain changes in the DNS Provider: write are successful, but the validation fails again and the WriteCounter reaches the WriteCounterLimit we give up on the reconciliation. The appropriate message will be put under the Ready - false condition as well as in the logs of the controller. The reconciliation will resume once the generation of the DNS Record is changed.
