HELM Chart for Puppet Server

Introduction

This chart bootstraps Puppet Server and its components on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.

Prerequisites

Code Repos

  • You must specify your Puppet Control Repo using puppetserver.puppeturl variable in the values.yaml file or include --set puppetserver.puppeturl=<your_public_repo> in the command line of helm install. You can specify your separate Hieradata Repo as well using the hiera.hieradataurl variable.

  • You can also use private repos. Just remember to specify your credentials using r10k.code.viaSsh.credentials.ssh.value. You can set similar credentials for your Hieradata Repo.

Load-Balancing Puppet Server

In case a Load Balancer (LB) must sit in front of Puppet Server - please keep in mind that having a Network LB (operating at OSI Layer 4) is preferable.

NGINX Ingress Controller Configuration

The Ingress resource is disabled by default, but if it is enabled then ssl-passthrough must be used so that puppet agents will get the expected server certificate when connecting to the service. This feature must be enabled on the Ingress resource itself, but also must be enabled via command line argument to the NGINX Ingress Controller. More information on that can be found here.

NOTE: Ingress URLs must be passed in the Values.puppetserver.masters.fqdns.alternateServerNames. Also - in the Values.puppetserver.compilers.fqdns.alternateServerNames (if Puppet Compilers and their Ingress resources are deployed).

Migrating from Bare-Metal Puppet Infrastructure

Auto-Signing Certificate Requests

In general, the easiest way to switch the Puppet Agents from using one Puppet master to another is by enabling the auto-signing of CSRs. By default, that has been pre-enabled in the Puppet Server Docker container. It can be disabled in the Values file by passing an extra environment variable: AUTOSIGN=false (in .Values.puppetserver.masters.extraEnv).

You will also need to remove the existing certificates in /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl on each Puppet agent.

Using Pre-Generated Puppet Master Certificates

If you prefer not to auto-sign or manually sign the Puppet Agents' CSRs - you can use the same Puppet master and PuppetDB certificates which you used in your bare-metal setup. Please archive into two separate files and place your certificates in the init/puppet-certs/puppetserver and init/puppet-certs/puppetdb directories and enable their usage in the Values file (.Values.puppetserver.preGeneratedCertsJob.enabled).

NOTE: For more information please check - README.md. For more general knowledge on the matter you can also read the article - https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/5.5/ssl_regenerate_certificates.html.

Using Single CA

If you prefer, you can use a single externally issued CA - https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/config_ssl_external_ca.html.
Enable it with .Values.singleCA.enable, add the crl.pem url with .Values.singleCA.crl.url, optionnally you can pass credential using .Values.singleCA.crl.credential.existingSecret.

Generate puppet & puppetdb secret (must be name puppet.pem & puppetdb.pem):

kubectl create secret generic puppet-certificate --from-file=puppet.pem --from-file=puppet.key --from-file=ca.pem
kubectl create secret generic puppetdb-certificate --from-file=puppetdb.pem --from-file=puppetdb.key --from-file=ca.pem

finally set .Values.singleCA.certificates.existingSecret.puppetserver and .Values.singleCA.certificates.existingSecret.puppetdb.

Additionnaly, if you use a public certificate authority, you can't use private SAN name, so you have to override puppetdb name with .Values.singleCA.puppetdb.overrideHostname (with the full name ie: puppetdb.my.domain) define a ClusterIP on .Values.puppetdb.service.clusterIP & .values.singleCA.hostAliases with the same IP

and it's a workaround for now but you have to update the DNS config, for CoreDNS add the following line in the configMap:

rewrite name puppetdb.my.domain puppetdb.<namespace>.svc.cluster.local

Horizontal Scaling

To achieve better availability and higher throughput of Puppet Infrastructure, you'll need to scale out Puppet Masters and/or Puppet Compilers.

Multiple Puppet Masters

To achieve better availability of Puppet Infrastructure, you can scale out Puppet Server Masters using .Values.puppetserver.masters.multiMasters. These Servers are known as masters, and are responsible for the creation and signing of your Puppet Agents' certificates. They are also responsible for receiving catalog requests from agents and synchronize the results with each other.

Multiple Puppet Compilers

To achieve better throughput of Puppet Infrastructure, you can enable and scale out Puppet Server Compilers using .Values.puppetserver.compilers. These Servers are known as compile masters, and are simply additional load-balanced Puppet Servers that receive catalog requests from agents and synchronize the results with each other.

Multiple PostgreSQL Read Replicas

To achieve better throughput of Puppet Infrastructure, you can enable and scale out PostgreSQL cluster using .Values.postgresql.replication.enabled and .Values.postgresql.replication.slaveReplicas.

Chart Components

  • Creates three deployments: Puppet Server Master/s, and PuppetDB.
  • Creates three statefulsets (optional): Puppet Server Compiler/s, PostgreSQL Master, and PostgreSQL Read Replicas.
  • Creates seven services that expose: Puppet Server Masters, Puppet Server Compilers (optional), PuppetDB, PostgreSQL, and Puppetboard (optional).
  • Creates secrets to hold credentials for PuppetDB, PosgreSQL, and r10k.

Installing the Chart

Add Puppet Server Helm Repository

Before installing Puppet Server Helm chart, you need to add the Puppet Server Helm repository to your Helm client as below.

helm repo add puppet https://puppetlabs.github.io/puppetserver-helm-chart

Install the Chart

To install the chart with the release name puppetserver.

helm install --namespace puppetserver --name puppetserver puppet/puppetserver --set puppetserver.puppeturl='https://github.com/$SOMEUSER/control-repo.git'

Note - If you do not specify a name, helm will select a name for you.

Installed Components

You can use kubectl get to view all of the installed components.

$ kubectl get --namespace puppetserver all

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example,

helm install --namespace puppetserver --name puppetserver puppet/puppetserver --set puppetserver.puppeturl='https://github.com/$SOMEUSER/puppet.git',hiera.hieradataurl='https://github.com/$SOMEUSER/hieradata.git'

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the above parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

helm install --namespace puppetserver --name puppetserver puppet/puppetserver -f values.yaml

Tip: You can use the default values.yaml
