Rode provides the collection, attestation and enforcement of policies in your software supply chain. Watch the demo and slides from DeliveryConf for a quick introduction!

There are 3 primary components in rode: collectors, attesters and enforcers

Collectors

Collectors are responsible for receiving events from external systems and converting them into occurrences in Grafeas.

The list of supported collectors is growing and currently includes:

  • ECR Events - image scan events are sent to an SQS queue via CloudWatch event rules. A collector in rode processes the messages from the queue and converts them into discovery and vulnerability occurrences in Grafeas.
  • Harbor Events - image scan events are sent to a Rode endpoint. A collector in rode processes the messages from the queue and converts them into discovery and vulnerability occurrences in Grafeas.

Collectors are defined as Collector custom resources. See below for an example:

apiVersion: rode.liatr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Collector
spec:
  name: my_collector
  type: ecr
  queueName: my_ecr_event_queue

Attesters

Attesters monitor collectors for new occurrences. Whenever a new occurrence is created on a resource, then all occurrences are loaded for that resource and passed in to Open Policy Agent (OPA) to determine if all necessary occurrences exist for the resource.

If all occurrences exist and comply with the policy, then the attester will use its private PGP key to sign a new attestation for the resource and store the attestation in Grafeas.

Attesters are defined as Attester custom resources. See below for an example:

apiVersion: rode.liatr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Attester
spec:
  name: my_collector
  pgp-secret: my_secret_name
  policy: |
    package my_collector

    violation[{"msg":"analysis failed"}]{
        input.occurrences[_].discovered.discovered.analysisStatus != "FINISHED_SUCCESS"
    }
    violation[{"msg":"analysis not performed"}]{
        analysisStatus := [s | s := input.occurrences[_].discovered.discovered.analysisStatus]
        count(analysisStatus) = 0
    }
    violation[{"msg":"critical vulnerability found"}]{
        severityCount("CRITICAL") > 0
    }
    violation[{"msg":"high vulnerability found"}]{
        severityCount("HIGH") > 10
    }
    severityCount(severity) = cnt {
        cnt := count([v | v := input.occurrences[_].vulnerability.severity; v == severity])
    }

The PGP key is automatically generated and stored as a Kubernetes secret if it doesn't already exist.

Enforcers

Enforcers are defined as validating admission webhook that ensures the resource defined as an image in the Pod has been properly attested.

Enforcers are configured to ensure the specified attester referenced in the namespace for the pod had successfully created an attestation. The namespace must include a label for enforcement to be activated:

  "rode.liatr.io/enforce": true

Installation

The easiest way to install rode is via the helm chart:

helm repo add liatrio https://harbor.toolchain.lead.prod.liatr.io/chartrepo/public
helm upgrade -i rode liatrio/rode

Elastic Container Registry

Setup collectors, attesters and enforcers through a quickstart:

kubectl apply -f examples/aws-quickstart.yaml

The ECR event collector requires the following IAM policy. Either attach the policy to the EC2 instance or use IRSA and pass the role ARN to Helm:

helm upgrade -i rode liatrio/rode --set rbac.serviceAccountAnnotations."eks\.amazonaws\.com/role-arn"=arn:aws:iam::1234567890:role/RodeServiceAccount
{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "sqs:CreateQueue"
                "sqs:SetQueueAttributes",
                "sqs:GetQueueUrl",
                "sqs:GetQueueAttributes",
                "sqs:ReceiveMessage",
                "sqs:DeleteMessage",
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "events:PutTargets",
                "events:PutRule"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

Harbor

If Harbor is being utilized as a container registry, you can specify harbor as the collector type.

apiVersion: rode.liatr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Collector
spec:
  name: my_collector
  type: ecr
  queueName: my_ecr_event_queue
---
apiVersion: rode.liatr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Collector
metadata: 
  name: harborCollector
  finalizers:
  - collectors.finalizers.rode.liatr.io
spec:
  harbor:
    harborUrl: "https://example.com"
    project: "example-project"
    secret: "default/harbor-harbor-core"
  type: harbor

Development

To run locally you need to have Docker for Desktop running and your k8s context set to docker-desktop. Skaffold will automatically use the local profile which installs LocalStack to test the AWS ECR collector by mocking the SQS service.

To run controllers:

skaffold dev --port-forward

Setup collectors, attesters and enforcers:

kubectl apply -f examples/aws-quickstart.yaml

To create an occurrence, use the aws cli to send a test message to LocalStack:

aws sqs send-message \
    --endpoint-url http://localhost:30576 \
    --queue-url http://localhost:30576/queue/rode-ecr-event-collector  \
    --message-body file://test/sample_scan_event.json 

Testing

To run unit tests

go test -cover -tags unit ./...

To run unit and integration tests Rode and LocalStack must be running. Follow the local development instructions above.

go test ./...

Testing Multi-Cluster Communication

You can test separating the policy and enforcement features of Rode by running both locally. This will deploy different instances of Rode into two different namespaces (rode-policy and rode-enforcement) so you can test the communication between the two instances.

Deploy the policy Rode instance

skaffold run -p local,policy

This will deploy Rode with Collector and Attester controllers and deploy the messaging service Jetstream

Deploy the enforcement Rode instance

skaffold run -p local,enforcement

This will deploy Rode with Enforcer and Cluster Enforcer controllers and the enforcer validating webhook.
