Deploy Using ConfigMap

Kubernetes ConfigMap​

NeuVector supports automated configuration using the Kubernetes ConfigMap feature. This enables deployment of NeuVector containers with the appropriate configurations, integrations, and other settings in an automated way.

The 'always_reload: true' setting can be added in any ConfigMap yaml to force reload of that yaml every time the controller starts (version 4.3.2+). Otherwise, the ConfigMap will only be loaded at initial startup or after complete cluster restart (see persistent storage section below).

Complete Sample NeuVector ConfigMap (initcfg.yaml)​

The latest ConfigMap can be found here.

The sample is also shown below. This contains all the settings available. Please remove the sections not needed and edit the sections needed. Note: If using configmap in a secret, see section below for formatting changes.

kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: neuvector-init

Then create the ConfigMap object:

kubectl create -f initcfg.yaml

Protect Sensitive Data Using a Secret​

If sensitive data is to be included in some sections of the configmap, a secret can be created for those sections with sensitive data.

For example, create the configMap for NON-sensitive sections such as passwordProfile and role:

kubectl create configmap neuvector-init --from-file=$HOME/init/passwordprofileinitcfg.yaml --from-file=$HOME/init/roleinitcfg.yaml -n neuvector

Then create a secret for sections with sensitive data, such as:

kubectl create secret generic neuvector-init --from-file=$HOME/init/eulainitcfg.yaml --from-file=$HOME/init/ldapinitcfg.yaml --from-file=$HOME/init/oidcinitcfg.yaml --from-file=$HOME/init/samlinitcfg.yaml --from-file=$HOME/init/sysinitcfg.yaml --from-file=$HOME/init/userinitcfg.yaml -n neuvector
important

Remove the the pipe '|' character in each section, as shown below.

Note the removal of the pipe character below if using configmap sections in a secret, enabled set to true, and uncomment out the section to be included in the secret.

secret:
# NOTE: files defined here have preferrence over the ones defined in the configmap section
enabled: true
data:
eulainitcfg.yaml:
license_key: 0Bca63Iy2FiXGqjk...
# ...
# ldapinitcfg.yaml:
# directory: OpenLDAP
# ...
# oidcinitcfg.yaml:
# Issuer: https://...
# ...
# samlinitcfg.yaml:
# ...
# sysinitcfg.yaml:
# ...
# userinitcfg.yaml:
# ...

After controller is deployed, all the configuration files from both configmap and secret will be stored in /etc/config folder.

Note that the secret is referred to in the standard Kubernetes and OpenShift Controller deployment yaml files under Volumes.

ConfigMaps and Persistent Storage​

Both the ConfigMaps and the persistent storage backup are only read when a new NeuVector cluster is deployed, or the cluster fails and is restarted. They are not used during rolling upgrades.

The persistent storage configuration backup is read first, then the ConfigMaps are applied, so ConfigMap settings take precedence. All ConfigMap settings (e.g. updates) will also be saved into persistent storage.
