Common Object Types

Definition of objects shared by different APIs.

ConfigGenerationMetadata

ConfigGenerationMetadata allows to setup extra metadata that will be added in the final Istio generated configurations. Like new labels or annotations. Defining the config generation metadata in tenancy resources (like organization, tenant, workspace or groups) works as default values for those configs that belong to it. Defining same config generation metadata in configuration resources (like ingress gateways, service routes, etc.) will replace the ones defined in the tenancy resources.

FieldDescriptionValidation Rule

labels

map<string, string>
Set of key value paris that will be added into the metadata.labels field of the Istio generated configurations.

annotations

map<string, string>
Set of key value paris that will be added into the metadata.annotations field of the Istio generated configurations.

NamespaceSelector

NamespaceSelector selects a set of namespaces across one or more clusters in a tenant. Namespace selectors can be used at Workspace level to carve out a chunk of resources under a tenant into an isolated configuration domain. They can be used in a Traffic, Security, or a Gateway group to further scope the set of namespaces that will belong to a specific configuration group. Names in namespaces selector must be in the form cluster/namespace where:

  • cluster must be a cluster name or an * to mean all clusters

  • namespace must be a namespace name, an * to mean all namespaces or a prefix like ns-* to mean all those namespaces starting by ns-

FieldDescriptionValidation Rule

names

List of string
REQUIRED
Under the tenant/workspace/group:

  • */ns1 implies ns1 namespace in any cluster.

  • c1/ns1 implies ns1 namespace from c1 cluster.

  • c1/* implies all namespaces in c1 cluster.

  • */* implies all namespaces in all clusters.

  • c1/ns* implies all namespaces prefixes by ns in c1 cluster.

repeated = {
  min_items: 1
  items: {string:{pattern:^(\\*|[^/*]+)/(\\*|[^/*]+\\*?)$}}
}

PortSelector

PortSelector is the criteria for specifying if a policy can be applied to a listener having a specific port.

FieldDescriptionValidation Rule

number

uint32
REQUIRED
Port number

uint32 = {
  lte: 65535
  gte: 1
}

RegionalFailover

Specify the traffic failover policy across regions. Since zone and sub-zone failover is supported by default this only needs to be specified for regions when the operator needs to constrain traffic failover so that the default behavior of failing over to any endpoint globally does not apply. This is useful when failing over traffic across regions would not improve service health or may need to be restricted for other reasons like regulatory controls.

FieldDescriptionValidation Rule

from

string
Originating region.

to

string
Destination region the traffic will fail over to when endpoints in the 'from' region become unhealthy.

ServiceSelector

ServiceSelector represents the match criteria to select services within a particular scope (namespace, workspace, cluster etc)

FieldDescriptionValidation Rule

serviceLabels

map<string, string>
REQUIRED
One or more labels that indicate a specific set of services within a particular scope

map = {
  min_pairs: 1
  keys: {string:{min_len:1}}
  values: {string:{min_len:1}}
}

TrafficSelector

TrafficSelector provides a mechanism to select a specific traffic flow for which this Wasm Extension will be enabled. When all the sub conditions in the TrafficSelector are satisfied, the traffic will be selected.

FieldDescriptionValidation Rule

mode

tetrateio.api.tsb.types.v2.WorkloadMode
Criteria for selecting traffic by their direction. Note that CLIENT and SERVER are analogous to OUTBOUND and INBOUND, respectively. For the gateway, the field should be CLIENT or CLIENT_AND_SERVER. If not specified, the default value is CLIENT_AND_SERVER.

enum = {
  defined_only: true
}

ports

List of tetrateio.api.tsb.types.v2.PortSelector
Criteria for selecting traffic by their destination port. More specifically, for the outbound traffic, the destination port would be the port of the target service. On the other hand, for the inbound traffic, the destination port is the port bound by the server process in the same Pod.

If one of the given ports is matched, this condition is evaluated to true. If not specified, this condition is evaluated to true for any port.

WasmExtensionAttachment

WasmExtensionAttachment defines the WASM extension attached to this resource including the name to identify the extension and also the specific configuration that will override the global extension configuration. Only those extensions globally enabled will be considered although they can be associated to the target resources. Match configuration allows you to specify which traffic is sent through the Wasm extension. Users can select the traffic based on different workload modes and ports.

Indicates that the configurations to be added to the group will directly use Istio APIs.

PropagationStrategy

The PropagationStrategy is the key differentiating factor to decide how a security policy should be propagated and applied at runtime across clusters. The default propagation strategy is REPLACE, in which a lower level SecuritySetting in the configuration hierarchy replaces a higher level SecuritySetting. The STRICTER PropagationStrategy on the other hand makes sure the default SecuritySettings configured at the parent level are always enforced and propagated down the hierarchy unless additional SecuritySettings are defined and restricted further in the configuration hierarchy.

  • REPLACE should be used when resources in the hierarchy are allowed to override the default settings configured at the higher levels.
  • STRICTER should be used when the default settings must prevail, and the settings can only be made more restrictive by child resources at lower levels of the hierarchy.

When a resource or property of it affected by the propagation strategy is propagated down the hierarchy, regardless of the defined strategy (REPLACE or STRICTER), a parent defined resource or a property of the resource will be used (propagated) in absence of a child resource or a property of it.

For example, the following policy configures optional mTLS for traffic within the workspace, but it allows SecuritySettings to modify it. The example shows a workspace that configures service-to-service access so that only services in the same workspace can talk to each other. The REPLACE propagation policy allows individual settings to override it. In the example, the SecuritySettings allows services within that group to be reachable from any service in the cluster, regardless for the workspace they belong to, even though the Workspace restricts service-to-service access to only services in the Workspace.

apiVersion: api.tsb.tetrate.io/v2
kind: WorkspaceSetting
metadata:
name: w1-settings
workspace: w1
tenant: mycompany
organization: myorg
spec:

apiVersion: security.tsb.tetrate.io/v2
kind: SecuritySetting
metadata:
name: defaults
group: t1
workspace: w1
tenant: mycompany
organization: myorg
spec:
authorization:
mode: CLUSTER

STRICTER propagation configures defaults that can be only be restricted down the hierarchy. The following example configures the same WorkspaceSetting but with a STRICTER propagation mode. The defaults SecuritySetting further narrows down that access to the GROUP scope, which is allowed because GROUP is more strict than WORKSPACE. However, the defaults-invalid SecuritySetting configures CLUSTER access, which would widen the scope defined at the Workspace. That settings will not be allowed based on the STRICTER propagation policy.

apiVersion: api.tsb.tetrate.io/v2
kind: WorkspaceSetting
metadata:
name: w1-settings
workspace: w1
tenant: mycompany
organization: myorg
spec:

mode: CLUSTER

Further details of how security settings are resolved between in STRICTER mode between a parent and a child resource can be found in the SecuritySettings reference.

FieldNumberDescription

REPLACE

0

Is the default configuration propagation strategy. A lower defined configuration in the hierarchy will replace a higher configuration in the hierarchy. Otherwise, if a lower configuration is not defined, the configuration higher up in the hierarchy will prevail. For instance, a defined default propagation strategy for workspace default security settings will replace tenant's defined default security settings.

STRICTER

1

STRICTER propagation strategy propagates the strictest configuration between a defined higher level and a defined lower level configuration in the hierarchy. If a lower level configuration in the hierarchy is not defined, the higher one will prevail. Which configuration is stricter than the other is defined by each concrete configuration that allows specifying a propagation strategy.

WorkloadMode

WorkloadMode allows selection of the role of the underlying workload in network traffic. A workload is considered as acting as a SERVER if it is the destination of the traffic (that is, traffic direction, from the perspective of the workload is inbound). If the workload is the source of the network traffic, it is considered to be in CLIENT mode (traffic is outbound from the workload).

FieldNumberDescription

UNDEFINED

0

Default value, which will be interpreted by its own usage.

CLIENT

1

Selects for scenarios when the workload is the source of the network traffic. In addition, if the workload is a gateway, selects this.

SERVER

2

Selects for scenarios when the workload is the destination of the network traffic.

CLIENT_AND_SERVER

3

Selects for scenarios when the workload is either the source or destination of the network traffic.
