This is copied from cloudposse/terraform-aws-components.

This component installs the Ealenn/Echo-Server to EKS clusters. The echo server is a server that sends it back to the client a JSON representation of all the data the server received, which is a combination of information sent by the client and information sent by the web server infrastructure. For further details, please consult the Echo-Server documentation.

Prerequisites

Echo server is intended to provide end-to-end testing of everything needed to deploy an application or service with a public HTTPS endpoint. It uses defaults where possible, such as using the default IngressClass, in order to verify that the defaults are sufficient for a typical application.

In order to minimize the impact of the echo server on the rest of the cluster, it does not set any configuration that would affect other ingresses, such as WAF rules, logging, or redirecting HTTP to HTTPS. Those settings should be configured in the IngressClass where possible.

Therefore, it requires several other components. At the moment, it supports 2 configurations:

  1. ALB with ACM Certificate
  • AWS Load Balancer Controller (ALB) version 2.2.0 or later, with ACM certificate auto-discovery enabled
  • A default IngressClass, which can be provisioned by the alb-controller component as part of deploying the controller, or can be provisioned separately, for example by the alb-controller-ingress-class component.
  • Pre-provisioned ACM TLS certificate covering the provisioned host name (typically a wildcard certificate covering all hosts in the domain)
  1. Nginx with Cert Manager Certificate
  • Nginx (via kubernetes/ingress-nginx controller). We recommend ingress-nginx v1.1.0 or later, but echo-server should work with any version that supports Ingress API version networking.k8s.io/v1.
  • jetstack/cert-manager configured to automatically (via Ingress Shim, installed by default) generate TLS certificates via a Cluster Issuer (by default, named letsEncrypt-prod).

In both configurations, it has these common requirements:

  • EKS component deployed, with component name specified in eks_component_name (defaults to "eks/cluster")
  • Kubernetes version 1.19 or later
  • Ingress API version networking.k8s.io/v1
  • kubernetes-sigs/external-dns
  • A default IngressClass, either explicitly provisioned or supported without provisioning by the Ingress controller.

Warnings

A Terraform plan may fail to apply, giving a Kubernetes authentication failure. This is due to a known issue with Terraform and the Kubernetes provider. During the "plan" phase Terraform gets a short-lived Kubernetes authentication token and caches it, and then tries to use it during "apply". If the token has expired by the time you try to run "apply", the "apply" will fail. The workaround is to run terraform apply -auto-approve without a "plan" file.

Usage

Stack Level: Regional

Use this in the catalog or use these variables to overwrite the catalog values.

Set ingress_type to "alb" if using alb-controller or "nginx" if using ingress-nginx.

Normally, you should not set the IngressClass or IngressGroup, as this component is intended to test the defaults. However, if you need to, set them in chart_values:

chart_values:
  ingress:
    class: "other-ingress-class"
    alb:
      # IngressGroup is specific to alb-controller
      group_name: "other-ingress-group"

Note that if you follow recommendations and do not set the ingress class name, the deployed Ingress will have the ingressClassName setting injected by the Ingress controller, set to the then-current default. This means that if later you change the default IngressClass, the Ingress will be NOT be updated to use the new default. Furthermore, because of limitations in the Helm provider, this will not be detected as drift. You will need to destroy and re-deploy the echo server to update the Ingress to the new default.

components:
  terraform:
    echo-server:
      settings:
        spacelift:
          workspace_enabled: true
      vars:
        enabled: true
        name: "echo-server"
        kubernetes_namespace: "echo"
        description: "Echo server, for testing purposes"
        create_namespace: true
        timeout: 180
        wait: true
        atomic: true
        cleanup_on_fail: true

        ingress_type: "alb" # or "nginx"
        # %[1]v is the tenant name, %[2]v is the stage name, %[3]v is the region name
        hostname_template: "echo.%[3]v.%[2]v.%[1]v.sample-domain.net"

In rare cases where some ingress controllers do not support the ingressClassName field, you can restore the old kubernetes.io/ingress.class annotation by setting ingress.use_ingress_class_annotation: true in chart_values.

Inputs

Name Description Type Default Required
additional_tag_map Additional key-value pairs to add to each map in tags_as_list_of_maps. Not added to tags or id.
This is for some rare cases where resources want additional configuration of tags
and therefore take a list of maps with tag key, value, and additional configuration.
map(string) {} no
atomic If set, installation process purges chart on fail. The wait flag will be set automatically if atomic is used. bool true no
attributes ID element. Additional attributes (e.g. workers or cluster) to add to id,
in the order they appear in the list. New attributes are appended to the
end of the list. The elements of the list are joined by the delimiter
and treated as a single ID element.
list(string) [] no
chart_values Addition map values to yamlencode as helm_release values. any {} no
chart_version Specify the exact chart version to install. If this is not specified, the latest version is installed. string null no
cleanup_on_fail Allow deletion of new resources created in this upgrade when upgrade fails. bool true no
context Single object for setting entire context at once.
See description of individual variables for details.
Leave string and numeric variables as null to use default value.
Individual variable settings (non-null) override settings in context object,
except for attributes, tags, and additional_tag_map, which are merged.

descriptor_formats Describe additional descriptors to be output in the descriptors output map.
Map of maps. Keys are names of descriptors. Values are maps of the form
