data/aws/vpc: Use HTTPS for load balancer health checks
As suggested by Dani Comnea [1]. When we switched to network load balancers in 16dfbb3 (data/aws: use nlbs instead of elbs, 2018-11-01, openshift#594), we replaced things like: resource "aws_elb" "api_internal" { ... health_check { healthy_threshold = 2 unhealthy_threshold = 2 timeout = 3 target = "SSL:6443" interval = 5 } ... } with: resource "aws_lb_target_group" "api_internal" { ... health_check { healthy_threshold = 3 unhealthy_threshold = 3 interval = 10 port = 6443 protocol = "TCP" } } This resulted in logs like [2]: [core@ip-10-0-11-88 ~]$ sudo crictl ps CONTAINER ID IMAGE CREATED STATE NAME ATTEMPT 1bf4870ea6eea registry.svc.ci.openshift.org/openshift/origin-v4.0-2018-12-15-160933@sha256:97eac256dde260e8bee9a5948efce5edb879dc6cb522a0352567010285378a56 2 minutes ago Running machine-config-server 0 [core@ip-10-0-11-88 ~]$ sudo crictl logs 1bf4870ea6eea I1215 20:23:07.088210 1 bootstrap.go:37] Version: 3.11.0-356-gb7ffe0c7-dirty I1215 20:23:07.088554 1 api.go:54] launching server I1215 20:23:07.088571 1 api.go:54] launching server 2018/12/15 20:24:17 http: TLS handshake error from 10.0.20.86:28372: EOF 2018/12/15 20:24:18 http: TLS handshake error from 10.0.20.86:38438: EOF 2018/12/15 20:24:18 http: TLS handshake error from 10.0.47.69:26320: EOF ... when the health check opens a TCP connection (in this case to the machine-config server on 49500) and then hangs up without completing the TLS handshake. Network load balancers [3,4] do not have an analog to the classic load balancers' SSL protocol [5,6,7], so we're using HTTPS. There's some discussion in [8] about the best way to perform unauthenticated liveness checks on the Kubernetes API server that suggests 401s are possible in some configurations. Checking against a recent cluster: $ curl -i https://wking-api.devcluster.openshift.com:6443/healthz curl: (60) Peer's Certificate issuer is not recognized. More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle" of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file using the --cacert option. If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might not match the domain name in the URL). If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use the -k (or --insecure) option. $ curl -ik https://wking-api.devcluster.openshift.com:6443/healthz HTTP/1.1 200 OK Cache-Control: no-store Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2018 06:18:23 GMT Content-Length: 2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 ok I don't know if the network load balancer health checks care about certificate validity or not. I guess we'll see how CI testing handles this. Ignition is only exposed inside the cluster, and checking that from a master node: [core@ip-10-0-26-134 ~]$ curl -i https://wking-api.devcluster.openshift.com:49500/ curl: (60) Peer's Certificate issuer is not recognized. More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle" of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file using the --cacert option. If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might not match the domain name in the URL). If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use the -k (or --insecure) option. [core@ip-10-0-26-134 ~]$ curl -ik https://wking-api.devcluster.openshift.com:49500/ HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2018 06:30:14 GMT Content-Length: 19 404 page not found So we're checking the new /healthz from openshift/machine-config-operator@d0a7ae21 (server: Add /healthz, 2019-01-04, openshift/machine-config-operator#267) instead. Unfortunately, setting matcher [9] is not allowed for network load balancers (e.g. see [10,11]). Setting it leads to errors like: ERROR * module.vpc.aws_lb_target_group.api_internal: 1 error occurred: ERROR * aws_lb_target_group.api_internal: Error creating LB Target Group: InvalidConfigurationRequest: Custom health check matchers are not supported for health checks for target groups with the TCP protocol ERROR status code: 400, request id: 25a53d63-00fe-11e9-80c5-59885e191c9c So I've left it unset here, and we'll just hope the 401s don't start happening.
