Parameters

The parent key for all of the following parameters is vault.

namespace

type

string

default

${_instance}

The namespace in which to deploy this component.

Two intances of vault can be deployed in the same namespace, but the two instances will have access to each others unseal secrets.

name

type

string

default

${_instance}

The name of the deployed component.

kubernetes_version

type

string

default

1.24

The Kubernetes version of the cluster the component is deployed to. This parameter is passed to Helm when rendering the Helm chart. The default chart version used by the component requires Kubernetes 1.20 or newer.

We recommend setting this parameter based on the cluster’s kubernetesVersion dynamic fact.

images

type

dictionary

Dictionary containing the container images used by this component.

charts

type

dictionary

Dictionary containing the chart versions used by this component.

ingress.enabled

type

bool

default

true

Whether to create an ingess object.

ingress.host

type

string

default

vault.todo.tld

Defines the FQDN of the ingress, should be overwritten on the cluster level.

ingress.annotations

type

dict

default

{}

The annotations added to the created ingress Needs to be set according to the deployed ingress controller.

Example:

annotations:
  cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-production
  kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx

storage.size

type

string

default

10G

The requested storage size for secret storage.

storage.class

type

string

default

``

The kubernetes storage class to request.

resources

type

dict

default
requests:
  memory: 256Mi
  cpu: 250m
limits:
  memory: 512Mi
  cpu: 1000m

The resource requests and limits.

podManagementPolicy

type

string

default

OrderedReady

The podManagementPolicy for the vault statefulset

Setting this to Parallel might cause a race condition during initial setup. This parameter can’t be changed after the initial deployment of the component.

x_forwarded_for

This section allows users to configure how Vault uses the information in the X-Forwarded-For header in client connections.

authorized_addrs

type

string

default

127.0.0.1/32

This parameter allows users to specify the list of source IP CIDRs for which an X-Forwarded-For header will be trusted. Since Vault doesn’t accept the empty string as a valid option, we set the parameter to only trust X-Forwarded-For headers from 127.0.0.1/32 by default.

To avoid issues with parameter interpolation, multiple entries should be specified as a comma-separated list.

If you want to use functionality in Vault which requires the real source IP of requests, you should set this parameter to a CIDR which includes the IPs of your ingress controller.

Also see the Vault documentation.

hop_skips

type

number

default

"0"

The number of entries in the X-Forwarded-For header to skip. You may have to set this parameter, if you’re deploying this component on a cluster which is behind multiple HTTP load balancers.

See the Vault documentation for more details.

reject_not_authorized

type

bool

default

"false"

By default, if there’s an X-Forwarded-For header in a connection from an address which isn’t in x_forwarded_for_authorized_addrs, the header will be ignored and the client address is used as-is.

If this is set to true, such client connections are rejected instead.

We default this parameter to false to provide an usable setup out of the box. If you expect that all valid client connections will have an X-Forwarded-For header, we strongly recommend setting it to true if you configure x_forwarded_for_authorized_addrs.

reject_not_present

type

bool

default

"false"

By default, if there is no X-Forwarded-For header in a connection from an address which isn’t in x_forwarded_For_authorized_addrs or if the header is empty, the client address will be used as-is.

If this parameter is set to true, such client connections are rejected instead.

We default this parameter to false to provide an usable setup out of the box. If you expect that all valid client connections will have an X-Forwarded-For header, we strongly recommend setting it to true if you configure x_forwarded_for_authorized_addrs.

config

type

dict

default
policies:
  - name: backup
    rules: |
      path "sys/storage/raft/snapshot" {
        capabilities = ["read"]
      }
secrets:
  - type: kv
    path: clusters/kv
    description: General secrets for clusters
    options:
      version: 2
auth:
  - type: kubernetes
    roles:
      - name: backup
        bound_service_account_names: '${vault:name}-backup'
        bound_service_account_namespaces: ${vault:namespace}
        policies: backup
        ttl: 1h

The configuration for vault. The default configuration adds a general key-value secret store and a default backup user. If this backup user isn’t present, backups using k8up won’t succeed. This configuration may directly contain secret references (see example below) as it will be stored in a secret.

Example LDAP configuration:

auth:
  - type: kubernetes
    roles:
      - name: backup
        bound_service_account_names: vault-backup
        bound_service_account_namespaces: vault
        policies: backup
        ttl: 1h
  - type: ldap
    description: LDAP auth
    options:
      listing_visibility: "unauth"
    config:
      url: ldaps://ldap.todo.com:636
      binddn: "uid=vault-service,ou=Users,dc=todo,dc=com"
      bindpass: ?{vaultkv:${cluster:tenant}/${cluster:name}/vault/ldap/password}
      userattr: uid
      userdn: "ou=vault,ou=Service Access,ou=Views,dc=todo,dc=com"
      groupdn: "ou=Groups,dc=todo,dc=com"
