Documentation

puppetlabs/pam_firewall — version 1.0.4 Aug 8th 2023

pam_firewall

Configures firewall rules using the firewall module for Puppet Application Manager.

Description

This module configures firewall rules using the firewall module for Puppet Application Manager (PAM) installed on Puppet-supported Kubernetes.

The preserve-iptables-config option should be supplied while installing PAM to leave the iptables service enabled, as in bash -s preserve-iptables-config. The PAM installation must be run after applying this module to ensure Kubernetes firewall rules are registered with the iptables service.

It specifically avoids purging foreign rules and chains created by Kubernetes. It also exposes ports to cluster members that need access (currently treats primary and secondary nodes identically) and exposes application ports globally.

Usage

The module declares a single class that can be applied to your cluster members.

The defaults work for a Standalone install

include ::firewall
include ::pam_firewall

An example is provided that demonstrates using this while locking down most other inbound access. You can run it with Bolt

bolt module install
bolt apply examples/init.pp --run-as root --targets $target

Note that this module ensures firewall rules created by Kubernetes remain if purging unknown rules in firewall chains and unknown firewall chains with

Firewallchain {
    purge => true,
}
resources { 'firewallchain':
    purge => true,
}

but not if purging all unknown firewall rules with

resources { 'firewall':
    purge => true,
}

HA cluster

If installing an HA cluster, you'll need to provide cluster_nodes for all members to enable intra-cluster communication

include ::firewall
class {'::pam_firewall':
    cluster_nodes => ['10.20.0.1', '10.20.0.2', '10.20.0.3'],
}

Application ports

You can also override app_ports to be more restrictive if not using all ports. For example, port 9001 is only used by CD4PE in an offline install, and port 8000 is only used by CD4PE for webhooks

include ::firewall
class {'::pam_firewall':
    app_ports => [443],
}

Subnets

If you need to override pod and/or service subnets for a PAM install, you'll also need to provide those here

include ::firewall
class {'::pam_firewall':
    pod_subnet     => '10.48.0.0/24',
    service_subnet => '10.48.1.0/24',
}

Managing common firewall chains

If you manage common firewall chains explicitly and purge unknown rules, such as

firewallchain {'OUTPUT:filter:IPv4']:
    policy => 'drop',
    purge  => true,
}

you'll need to disable this module's management of those chains and ignore foreign rules to avoid deleting rules created by Kubernetes

include ::firewall
class {'::pam_firewall':
    manage_common_chains => false,
}

firewallchain {'OUTPUT:filter:IPv4']:
    policy         => 'drop',
    purge          => true,
    ignore_foreign => true
}
