Secrets Store CSI driver for Kubernetes secrets - Integrates secrets stores with Kubernetes via a CSI volume.

The Secrets Store CSI driver secrets-store.csi.k8s.com allows Kubernetes to mount multiple secrets, keys, and certs stored in enterprise-grade external secrets stores into their pods as a volume. Once the Volume is attached, the data in it is mounted into the container's file system.

CircleCI

Features

  • Mounts secrets/keys/certs to pod using a CSI volume
  • Supports mounting multiple secrets store objects as a single volume
  • Supports pod identity to restrict access with specific identities (WIP)
  • Supports multiple secrets stores as providers

NOTES:
The Secrets Store CSI Driver is getting deployed to your cluster.

To verify that Secrets Store CSI Driver has started, run:

  kubectl --namespace=dev get pods -l "app=secrets-store-csi-driver"

Now you can follow these steps https://github.com/deislabs/secrets-store-csi-driver#use-the-secrets-store-csi-driver
to create a PersistentVolume, a static PVC, and a deployment using the PVC.

$ kubectl --namespace=dev get pods -l "app=secrets-store-csi-driver"
NAME                                     READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
csi-secrets-store-attacher-0                  1/1       Running   0          43s
csi-secrets-store-secrets-store-csi-driver-9crwj   2/2       Running   0          43s
csi-secrets-store-secrets-store-csi-driver-pcbtg   2/2       Running   0          43s
[ALTERNATIVE DEPLOYMENT OPTION] Using Deployment Yamls
kubectl apply -f deploy/crd-csi-driver-registry.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/rbac-csi-driver-registrar.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/rbac-csi-attacher.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/csi-secrets-store-attacher.yaml
kubectl apply -f deploy/secrets-store-csi-driver.yaml

To validate the installer is running as expected, run the following commands:

kubectl get po

You should see the Secrets Store CSI driver pods running on each agent node:

csi-secrets-store-2c5ln         2/2     Running   0          4m
csi-secrets-store-attacher-0    1/1     Running   0          6m
csi-secrets-store-qp9r8         2/2     Running   0          4m
csi-secrets-store-zrjt2         2/2     Running   0          4m

Use the Secrets Store CSI Driver

  1. Select a provider from the list of supported providers

  2. To create a Secrets Store CSI volume, follow specific deployment steps for the selected provider to update all the required fields in this deployment yaml.

csi:
  driver: secrets-store.csi.k8s.com
  readOnly: true
  volumeHandle: kv
  volumeAttributes:
    providerName: "azure"
    ...
  1. Deploy your PersistentVolume (CSI Volume)
kubectl apply -f deploy/example/pv-secrets-store-csi.yaml
  1. Deploy a static pvc pointing to your persistentvolume
kubectl apply -f deploy/example/pvc-secrets-store-csi-static.yaml
  1. Fill in the missing pieces in this pod deployment yaml to create your own pod pointing to your PVC. Make sure to specify the mount point.
volumeMounts:
  - name: secrets-store01
    mountPath: "/mnt/secrets-store"

Example of an nginx pod accessing a secret from a PV created by the Secrets Store CSI Driver:

kind: Pod
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: nginx-secrets-store
spec:
  containers:
  - image: nginx
    name: nginx-secrets-store
    volumeMounts:
    - name: secrets-store01
      mountPath: "/mnt/secrets-store"
  volumes:
  - name: secrets-store01
    persistentVolumeClaim:
      claimName: pvc-secrets-store

Deploy your app

kubectl apply -f deploy/example/nginx-pod-secrets-store.yaml

Validate the pod has access to the secret from your secrets store instance:

kubectl exec -it nginx-flex-kv cat /mnt/secrets-store/testsecret
testvalue

Providers

This project features a pluggable provider interface developers can implement that defines the actions of the Secrets Store CSI driver.

This enables on-demand retrieval of sensitive objects storied an enterprise-grade external secrets store into Kubernetes while continue to manage these objects outside of Kubernetes.

Each provider may have its own required properties.

Providers must provide the following functionality to be considered a supported integration.

  1. Provides the backend plumbing necessary to access objects from the external secrets store.
  2. Conforms to the current API provided by the Secrets Store CSI Driver.
  3. Does not have access to the Kubernetes APIs and has a well-defined callback mechanism to mount objects to a target path.

Azure Key Vault Provider

The Secrets Store CSI driver Azure Key Vault Provider offers two modes for accessing a Key Vault instance: Service Principal and Pod Identity.

OPTION 1 - Service Principal

Add your service principal credentials as a Kubernetes secrets accessible by the Secrets Store CSI driver.

kubectl create secret generic secrets-store-creds --from-literal clientid=<CLIENTID> --from-literal clientsecret=<CLIENTSECRET>

Ensure this service principal has all the required permissions to access content in your Azure key vault instance. If not, you can run the following using the Azure cli:

# Assign Reader Role to the service principal for your keyvault
az role assignment create --role Reader --assignee <principalid> --scope /subscriptions/<subscriptionid>/resourcegroups/<resourcegroup>/providers/Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults/<keyvaultname>

az keyvault set-policy -n $KV_NAME --key-permissions get --spn <YOUR SPN CLIENT ID>
az keyvault set-policy -n $KV_NAME --secret-permissions get --spn <YOUR SPN CLIENT ID>
az keyvault set-policy -n $KV_NAME --certificate-permissions get --spn <YOUR SPN CLIENT ID>

Fill in the missing pieces in this deployment to create your own pv, make sure to:

  1. reference the service principal kubernetes secret created in the previous step
nodePublishSecretRef:
  name: secrets-store-creds
  1. pass in properties for the Azure Key Vault instance to the Secrets Store CSI driver to create a PV
Name Required Description Default Value
providerName yes specify name of the provider ""
usePodIdentity no specify access mode: service principal or pod identity "false"
keyvaultName yes name of a Key Vault instance ""
objects yes a string of arrays of strings ""
objectName yes name of a Key Vault object ""
objectType yes type of a Key Vault object: secret, key or cert ""
objectVersion no version of a Key Vault object, if not provided, will use latest ""
resourceGroup yes name of resource group containing key vault instance ""
subscriptionId yes subscription ID containing key vault instance ""
tenantId yes tenant ID containing key vault instance ""
  csi:
    driver: secrets-store.csi.k8s.com
    readOnly: true
    volumeHandle: kv
    volumeAttributes:
      providerName: "azure"
      usePodIdentity: "false"         # [OPTIONAL] default to "false" if empty
      keyvaultName: ""                # name of the KeyVault
      objects:  |
        array:                        # array of objects
          - |
            objectName: secret1
            objectType: secret        # object types: secret, key or cert
            objectVersion: ""         # [OPTIONAL] object versions, default to latest if empty
          - |
            objectName: key1
            objectType: key
            objectVersion: ""
      resourceGroup: ""               # resource group of the KeyVault
      subscriptionId: ""              # subscription ID of the KeyVault
      tenantId: ""                    # tenant ID of the KeyVault
      ...

OPTION 2 - Pod Identity

WIP

Adding a New Provider via the Provider Interface

Create a new directory for your provider under providers and implement the following interface. Then add your provider in providers/register/provider_<provider_name>.go. Make sure to add a build tag so that your provider can be excluded from being built. The format for this build tag should be no_<provider_name>_provider.

// Provider contains the methods required to implement a Secrets Store CSI Driver provider.
type Provider interface {
    // MountSecretsStoreObjectContent mounts content of the secrets store object to target path
    MountSecretsStoreObjectContent(ctx context.Context, attrib map[string]string, secrets map[string]string, targetPath string, permission os.FileMode) error
}
