Summary of the new configuration option: The cluster operators add the container_sync middleware to their proxy pipeline and create a container-sync-realms.conf for their cluster and copy this out to all their proxy and container servers. This file specifies the available container sync "realms". A container sync realm is a group of clusters with a shared key that have agreed to provide container syncing to one another. The end user can then set the X-Container-Sync-To value on a container to //realm/cluster/account/container instead of the previously required URL. The allowed hosts list is not used with this configuration and instead every container sync request sent is signed using the realm key and user key. This offers better security as source hosts can be faked much more easily than faking per request signatures. Replaying signed requests, assuming it could easily be done, shouldn't be an issue as the X-Timestamp is part of the signature and so would just short-circuit as already current or as superceded. This also makes configuration easier for the end user, especially with difficult networking situations where a different host might need to be used for the container sync daemon since it's connecting from within a cluster. With this new configuration option, the end user just specifies the realm and cluster names and that is resolved to the proper endpoint configured by the operator. If the operator changes their configuration (key or endpoint), the end user does not need to change theirs. DocImpact Change-Id: Ie1704990b66d0434e4991e26ed1da8b08cb05a37 |
