IAM Policy Controller

Description

The IAM policy controller is a controller that watches IamPolicies created to monitor IAM cluster role bindings used within a Kubernetes cluster. It detects the number of users with cluster role bindings to a given clusterrole and reports whether or not a given IamPolicy is compliant or noncompliant.The controller can be run as a stand-alone program or as an integrated part of governing risk with the Open Cluster Management project.

Field	Description
maxClusterRoleBindingUsers	Required: Maximum number of cluster role binding still valid before it is considered as non-compliant.
ClusterRole	Optional: Cluster role referenced in the cluster role bindings, default to cluster-admin.

Following is an example spec of a IamPolicy resource:

apiVersion: policy.open-cluster-management.io/v1
kind: IamPolicy
metadata:
  name: iam-grc-policy
  labels:
    category: "System-Integrity"
spec:
  # Include are the namespaces for which you want to watch cluster administrator role and IAM rolebinings, while exclude are the namespaces you explicitly do not want to watch
  namespaceSelector:
    include: ["default","kube-*"]
    exclude: ["kube-system"]
  #labelSelector:
    #env: "production"
  # Can be enforce or inform, however enforce doesn't do anything with regards to this controller
     remediationAction: inform # enforce or inform
     severity: medium # low, medium, or high
  # Maximum number of cluster role binding still valid before it is considered as non-compliant
  maxClusterRoleBindingUsers: 5

Getting started

Steps for development

Build code
```
make build
```
Run controller locally against the Kubernetes cluster currently configured with kubectl
```
export WATCH_NAMESPACE=<namespace>
make run
```
(WATCH_NAMESPACE can be any namespace on the cluster that you want the controller to monitor for policies.)

Steps for deployment

Build container image

make build-images

The image registry, name, and tag used in the image build, are configurable with:

export REGISTRY=''  # (defaults to 'quay.io/stolostron')
export IMG=''       # (defaults to the repository name)
export TAG=''       # (defaults to 'latest')

Deploy controller to a cluster

The controller is deployed to a namespace defined in CONTROLLER_NAMESPACE and monitors the namepace defined in WATCH_NAMESPACE for IamPolicy resources.
1. Create the deployment namespaces
```
make create-ns
```
  The deployment namespaces are configurable with:
```
export CONTROLLER_NAMESPACE=''  # (defaults to 'open-cluster-management-agent-addon')
export WATCH_NAMESPACE=''       # (defaults to 'managed')
```
2. Deploy the controller and related resources
```
make deploy
```
NOTE: Please be aware of the community's deployment images special note.

Steps for test

Code linting
```
make lint
```
Unit tests
- Install prerequisites
```
make test-dependencies
```
- Run unit tests
```
make test
```
E2E tests (NOTE: Currently there are no E2E tests to run)
1. Prerequisites:
  - docker
  - kind
2. Start KinD cluster (make sure Docker is running first)
```
make kind-bootstrap-cluster-dev
```
3. Start the controller locally (see Steps for development)
4. Run E2E tests:
```
export WATCH_NAMESPACE=managed
make e2e-test
```
