trouble using --aws-role-arn option when adding EKS cluster with argocd CLI #2347

Closed jeremyhermann closed 8 months ago

jeremyhermann commented 4 years ago

I am trying to use the --aws-role-arn option when adding an EKS cluster to ArgoCD, as described in https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/issues/1304. I have not been able to get it to work and the error messages are difficult to interpret and I am not sure how to debug.

$ argocd cluster add acme-production --aws-cluster-name arn:aws:eks:us-west-2:<account-number>:cluster/acme-production --aws-role-arn arn:aws:iam::<account-number>:role/acme-production-deploy-role

FATA[0000] rpc error: code = Unknown desc = REST config invalid: Get https://<eks-cluster-id>.yl4.us-west-2.eks.amazonaws.com/version?timeout=32s: getting credentials: exec: exit status 1

Note that I am able to successfully add the cluster using argocd cluster add https://<eks-cluster-id>.yl4.us-west-2.eks.amazonaws.com

Thanks

I'm not sure of the minimal permissions necessary, but I was able to get argocd to add an external cluster (cross account) by doing the following:

In account B (external cluster), created a role argocd-test with AdministratorAccess policy attached, and created a trust relationship between it and account A (running argocd in an eks cluster).

In the external cluster, 'kubectl edit -n kube-system configmap/aws-auth' to edit the iam role to RBAC mappings, under mapped roles added:

    - rolearn: arn:aws:iam::accountB_number:role/argocd-test
      username: arn:aws:iam::accountB_number:role/argocd-test
      groups:
        - system:bootstrappers
        - system:nodes

Note that the username has to be the same as the rolearn; if not, when trying to add the external cluster to argocd, will get a 'the server has asked for the client to provide credentials' error

In account A, that's running argocd, attached a policy allowing assumption of the argocd-test role in account B to the iam role on the EC2 nodes running argocd. (May be possible to map the role to a service account used by the argocd pods; I didn't test whether argocd is using a new enough aws-sdk for that support yet.)

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": {
    "Effect": "Allow",
    "Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
    "Resource": "arn:aws:iam::accountB_number:role/argocd-test"
  }
}

In my kubeconfig, the external cluster in account B is registered as 'arn:aws:eks:us-east-1:accountB_number:cluster/kube_remote'. With argocd logged in to the cluster in account A, the following command to add the external cluster in the other account was accepted:

argocd cluster add arn:aws:eks:us-east-1:accountB_number:cluster/kube_remote --aws-role-arn arn:aws:iam::accountB_number:role/argocd-test --aws-cluster-name kube_remote

Note that both --aws-role-arn and --aws-cluster-name are needed to make argocd use the aws-iam-authenticator to assume the role in account B. Also, --aws-cluster-name has to be just the name of the external cluster - not the full arn.

I am using Kube 1.14 in EKS, and argocd 1.2.2.

I have the same issue but I'm using terraform to create the secret just after the cluster has been created but I can't get it working

I followed this structure https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/blob/master/docs/operator-manual/declarative-setup.md#clusters

resource "kubernetes_secret" "dev-green-argocd" {
  # this secret gets deployed on CI cluster
  # to allow ArgoCD to access the new cluster
  provider = kubernetes.ci

  metadata {
    labels = {
      "argocd.argoproj.io/secret-type" = module.cluster_green.eks_cluster.name
    }
    name      = module.cluster_green.eks_cluster.name
    namespace = "argocd"
  }

  data = {
    server = module.cluster_green.eks_cluster.endpoint
    name   = module.cluster_green.eks_cluster.name
    config = <<CONFIG
{
    "awsAuthConfig": {
        "clusterName": "${module.cluster_green.eks_cluster.name}",
        "roleARN": "${module.base.admin_role.arn}"
    },
    "tlsClientConfig": {
        "insecure": false,
        "caData": "${module.cluster_green.eks_cluster.certificate_authority.0.data}"
    }
}
CONFIG
  }
}

but I can't find any logs related to detecting this new secret, cluster name, cluster endpoint on the repo-server, server or application-controller

I was also trying to guess how does ArgoCD uses aws-iam-authenticator and which component sends the request to the other AWS clusters/accounts I've inferred from some tickets and conversations that is the server component the one in charge to send the request so this component should have some sort of AWS SDK setup somewhere...

But this it not documented and I'm struggling to automate this process

I'd happily document (crating a PR) the IAM configuration required if I could understand how all this works

jurgenweber commented 3 years ago

when I try to add the cluster on the CLI, I am seeing the following in the argocd-server logs:

argocd-server-54cd8c56d9-lw7ff argocd-server 2020-06-12T01:43:54.914385589Z An error occurred (AccessDenied) when calling the AssumeRole operation: User: arn:aws:sts::1111:assumed-role/argocd-prod-workers-role/i-2222 is not authorized to perform: sts:AssumeRole on resource: arn:aws:iam::1111:role/aws20200611003524576400000005

need to know how to setup a role that can be assumed by a role!

jurgenweber commented 3 years ago

Ok, so if you are doing this in the same account, here is what I did. I created a role to put in my target clusters aws-auth configmap.... Like so:

    - "groups":
      - "system:bootstrappers"
      - "system:nodes"
      "rolearn": "arn:aws:iam::my account number:role/ArgoCDTest"
      "username": "arn:aws:iam::my account number:role/ArgoCDTest"

This role trusts the root, eg:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::my account number:root"
      },
      "Action": "sts:AssumeRole",
      "Condition": {}
    }
  ]
}

The worker node role of the argocd cluster need to have STS:assumeRole permissions to this new role.

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "sts:*",
            "Resource": "arn:aws:iam::my account number:role/ArgoCDTest"
        }
    ]
}

This has now gotten me passed the AWS error above, but now I have a new error:

FATA[0006] rpc error: code = Unknown desc = REST config invalid: the server has asked for the client to provide credentials
jurgenweber commented 3 years ago

ok, it looks like this error is a 'user issue', eg: my fault. ;) I am trying to add the cluster like so:

argocd cluster add arn:aws:eks:ap-southeast-2:my account number:cluster/my-cluster-name --aws-role-arn "arn:aws:iam::my account number:role/ArgoCDTest" --aws-cluster-name kube_remote

the --aws-cluster-name was incorrect, should be 'my-cluster-name', not 'kube_remote'. Once I discovered this:

$ argocd cluster add arn:aws:eks:ap-southeast-2:my account number:cluster/my-cluster-name --aws-cluster-name my-cluster-name --aws-role-arn "arn:aws:iam::my account number:role/ArgoCDTest"
Cluster 'https://long and anonymous string.yl4.ap-southeast-2.eks.amazonaws.com' added

and in the argocd logs:

but!

in the UI it is still failed: image

but I can see no other sign to why it is failed.

jurgenweber commented 3 years ago

ok, I have it working now... I updated my 1.6 install to 'latest'.. it works in master/latest.

jurgenweber commented 3 years ago

antoher thing of note, I tried not using the IAM role of the nodes but using the OIDC features in EKS:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "Federated": "arn:aws:iam::1111:oidc-provider/oidc.eks.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/id/1111"
      },
      "Action": "sts:AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity",
      "Condition": {
        "StringEquals": {
          "oidc.eks.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/id/1111:sub": "system:serviceaccount:argocd:argocd-server"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

I still received the same error:

An error occurred (AccessDenied) when calling the AssumeRole operation: User: arn:aws:sts::1111:assumed-role/operational-1111/i-090dcd405f3f70755 is not authorized to perform: sts:AssumeRole on resource: arn:aws:iam::1111:role/argocd-manager-k8s00-dev-aws

Maybe this can be supported?

helenabutowatcisco commented 3 years ago

@jurgenweber any luck in getting this to work with a ServiceAccount?

dshackith commented 3 years ago

I am struggling with the same thing. EKS with ArgoCD in one cluster, wanting to add external EKS cluster. I have setup a role in IAM that has an attached trust policy that grants trust via OICD to the two service accounts used by ArgoCD (server and app-controller). These service accounts have been annotated with the IAM role. In the external cluster the role has been added to auth-cm. The pods are already using the role that has rights in the external cluster, so no need to assume a role. I am using declarative secrets for adding the external clusters, and not specifying the ARN for the role (as it does not need to assume one). The clusters show up in the UI, but as failed. No messages in log on argo-cd-server pod. The IAM Roles for Service Accounts setup I am using seems to be successful in the sense that the pod has ENV variables for AWS_ROLE_ARN and AWS_WEB_IDENTITY_TOKEN_FILE and the token file is readable and has a token (I did have to set fsGroup to 999 globally).

dshackith commented 3 years ago

From the argo-server pod I am able to use use aws eks get-token (command used by ArgoCD) to retrieve a token from the external cluster.

Here's a rough recipe for what I've managed to get working with IAM roles scoped to a Kubernetes ServiceAccount and a single AWS account:

  1. use the latest tag for the images. I couldn't get this to work with v1.6.
  2. you'll need to set the fsGroup for the securityContext to 999.
  3. setup the IAM OpenID Connect provider for the EKS cluster running Argo CD by following https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/enable-iam-roles-for-service-accounts.html
  4. create one IAM policy and one role following https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/create-service-account-iam-policy-and-role.html
    • there needs to be 2 trust relationships for the one role: one for the argocd-server ServiceAccount and one for the argocd-application-controller ServiceAccount
    • the policy should allow AssumeRole and AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity for the STS service with the resources for the policy limited to the ARN for the IAM role
  5. you'll need to add an annotation to the argocd-server and argocd-application-controller ServiceAccounts following https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/specify-service-account-role.html
  6. for the EKS clusters that Argo CD will deploying apps into, add a new entry into the aws-auth ConfigMap by following https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/add-user-role.html
    • the rolearn and username values should match (though I'm not certain that this is required)
    • for groups, you could use system:masters but you might want to restrict scope further
  7. for the Secret for each cluster, follow https://argoproj.github.io/argo-cd/operator-manual/declarative-setup/#clusters
    • be sure to add the label to the Secret as shown in the docs
    • for the Secret data:
      • name should be the ARN of the EKS cluster
      • server should be the URL of the Kubernetes API for the EKS cluster.
      • in the config block only set the following:
      • awsAuthConfig where:
        • clusterName is the name of the EKS cluster as returned by aws eks list-clusters
        • roleARN is the ARN of the IAM role
      • tlsClientConfig where:
        • insecure is false. This might not be required but it doesn't hurt to be explicit.
        • caData is the certificate returned by aws eks describe-cluster --query "cluster.certificateAuthority" --output text. It should already be base64 encoded.
  8. when creating an app with argocd app create, set --dest-server to the URL of the Kubernetes API for the cluster.

@helenabutowatcisco many thanks for the instructions! Worked for me even with external cluster in another account, just had to create argocd-manager role in external account, add it to aws-auth and allow assume from argocd IRSA role in argocd's account.

Worth noting that after creating Secret with cluster's info, it's status becames Unknown but it's actually works, just need to create app on it, then it'll change to Successful. Don't spend time debugging connection like I did :)

tbondarchuk commented 3 years ago

Looks like IRSA roles work even with 1.6.2 images. Found out while experimenting and switching between latest and 1.6.2. I suspect that after adding SA annotation with role name pods has to be recreated to pick up changes.

latest image appears to have some issues with resource tracking and constantly shows apps out of sync. One example: cert-manager deployed from proxy helm chart with cluster issuer created from manifest in templates folder (can share details if anybody interested).

Important note on multi-cluster management: application names have to be unique in argocd, so to deploy same app to multiple clusters different app names has to be used. Solution that worked for me:

So you were able to make it work with just one role for ArgoCD SA? You didn't have to create any roles for the clusters that ArgoCD was managing?

Correct. Just one IAM role.

We are struggling to make it work, the cluster just shows up as failed in the UI but there is no logs and no way to enable verbose logging. Not sure what is wrong. Our current setup:

Not sure what we are missing 😢

Tackling the issue with @musabmasood, I have copied this kubeconfig in the argocd-server and argocd-application-server:

    name: arn:aws:eks:ap-south-1:<account-id>:cluster/<cluster-name>

And I am able to list pods in the target cluster:

argocd@argocd-server-5cc5c44949-8rqhc:~$ kubectl cluster-info --context arn:aws:eks:ap-south-1:<account-id>:cluster/<cluster-name>

Metrics-server is running at https://<eks-cluster-specific-host>.eks.amazonaws.com/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/https:metrics-server:/proxy

To further debug and diagnose cluster problems, use 'kubectl cluster-info dump'.

But with the cluster secret which apparently does the same, it does not work:

https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/blob/3d1f37b0c53f4c75864dc7339e2831c6e6a947e0/pkg/apis/application/v1alpha1/types.go#L2182-L2186

        "insecure": false,
      }
    }

We only see it as "Failed" when listing the cluster in the UI. We have increased the log level to debug, but it does not add any new message. We have been able to get getting credentials: exec: exit status 255 when trying to create or sync an application, but I have not been able to identify where it comes from in the code yet.

Confirmed. It works in 1.7 rc1. We only specify the caData and cluster name (not cluster ARN). We also added the role arn to application-controller and server SAs.

@maxbrunet try to shell into the pod and run aws eks --region us-east-1 update-kubeconfig --name cluster-2. That way I found out about missing security context (fsGroup: 999) - aws cli couldn't access IRSA token.

maxbrunet commented 3 years ago

@okdas yes, the fsGroup is needed (when running as non-root), the kubectl cluster-info command I posted runs inside the pod using the WebIdendity token, so it was readable, and as @musabmasood said, we made it work with 1.7. Thanks

jurgenweber commented 3 years ago

any luck in getting this to work with a ServiceAccount?

@helenabutowatcisco yes, I got it all working. I hope you did also.

tiagocborg commented 3 years ago

Here's a rough recipe for what I've managed to get working with IAM roles scoped to a Kubernetes ServiceAccount and a single AWS account:

  1. use the latest tag for the images. I couldn't get this to work with v1.6.
  2. you'll need to set the fsGroup for the securityContext to 999.
  3. setup the IAM OpenID Connect provider for the EKS cluster running Argo CD by following https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/enable-iam-roles-for-service-accounts.html

  4. create one IAM policy and one role following https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/create-service-account-iam-policy-and-role.html

    • there needs to be 2 trust relationships for the one role: one for the argocd-server ServiceAccount and one for the argocd-application-controller ServiceAccount
    • the policy should allow AssumeRole and AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity for the STS service with the resources for the policy limited to the ARN for the IAM role
  5. you'll need to add an annotation to the argocd-server and argocd-application-controller ServiceAccounts following https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/specify-service-account-role.html

  6. for the EKS clusters that Argo CD will deploying apps into, add a new entry into the aws-auth ConfigMap by following https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/add-user-role.html

    • the rolearn and username values should match (though I'm not certain that this is required)
    • for groups, you could use system:masters but you might want to restrict scope further

  7. for the Secret for each cluster, follow https://argoproj.github.io/argo-cd/operator-manual/declarative-setup/#clusters

    • be sure to add the label to the Secret as shown in the docs

    • for the Secret data:

      • name should be the ARN of the EKS cluster

      • server should be the URL of the Kubernetes API for the EKS cluster.

      • in the config block only set the following:

      • awsAuthConfig where:

        • clusterName is the name of the EKS cluster as returned by aws eks list-clusters
        • roleARN is the ARN of the IAM role

      • tlsClientConfig where:

        • insecure is false. This might not be required but it doesn't hurt to be explicit.
        • caData is the certificate returned by aws eks describe-cluster --query "cluster.certificateAuthority" --output text. It should already be base64 encoded.
  8. when creating an app with argocd app create, set --dest-server to the URL of the Kubernetes API for the cluster.

@helenabutowatcisco just to see If I understand: on step 6 you added to the aws auth cm running on account B the same role you created on account A with and annotated to the argo service roles?

This was extremely helpful. There needs to be clearer examples of this in the documentation.

jackivanov commented 2 years ago

Will ahh the above, I'm still getting the server has asked for the client to provide credentials. Has anything changed since then?

fardin01 commented 2 years ago

In my case, the problem was that only the ArgoCD server (argocd-server pod) had access to the IAM role. It turns out that the application controller (argocd-application-controller pod) also needs to have access to the IAM role for it to work.

avodaqstephan commented 2 years ago

I'm happy to came across this thread. Without that issue you'll probably burn day(s) to figure out how this works. The documentation is lacking detailed information here. If you have all the information in your kubeconfig and you can just add an external cluster by pointing to the correct context everything is fine, if you need to fiddle around with EKS you are simply lost. Thanks to everyone who contributed here :)

In the v2.2.0 version, use https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/operator-manual/declarative-setup/#clusters, the test is available, and the operation is also very simple

The awsAuthConfig field is not required

@woniuzhang you'll need to create a token for the connection to work. Also, ArgoCD does not need to be on the actual cluster you're deploying to, however you will need to add the cluster and the appropriate namespace to it in order to establish the correct connection.

I merely added the service role of admin (where argocd is running) to the cluster that Argo wants to "manage". This worked, but need to get opinion on "best security practice" here..

Just some quick notes on setting this up while sifting through a lot of confused comments above.

https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/issues/2347#issuecomment-662139989 is a great guide, and hopefully I've answered some of the ambiguities in there in a couple spots that had a bit of doubt.

danielnazareth89 commented 1 year ago

we had the below config working great

config: '{"tlsClientConfig":{"insecure":false,"caData":"XX"},"awsAuthConfig":{"clusterName":"<name in EKS console>","roleARN":"arn:aws:iam::00000000:role/argocd-role"}}'
  name: <descriptive name for this cluster>
  server: https://XXXXXXXX.gr7.<region>.eks.amazonaws.com

but this pr appears to have introduced a new CLI for auth without any docs for how to update the config for EKS. Still experimenting and will post back if we can figure out new config.

AmmarovTou commented 1 year ago

Hi, I have EKS clusters in the same account(the cluster where argocd is running and the external clusters are in the same account).

Approach 1:

I am able to add an external cluster by:

Versions: EKS Kubernetes 1.20 ArgoCD: v2.4.5

However, the approach above means using a long lived token(the bearerToken) which does not expire.

Approach 2:

So I am trying to use the awsAuthConfig approach, which uses the new argocd-k8s-auth(introduced in: https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/pull/8032/files on 15 apr 2022, I think its earliest availability was in v2.4.0-rc1 on 07 May 2022), assuming that argocd-k8s-auth gets shorter lived tokens and also takes care of renewing the token when it is about to expire.

behaviour summary:

When I deploy the external cluster secret, the cluster status is Unknown(which is the usual behavior), as soon as I try to create an application(through argocd UI) for that external cluster, it logs me out of argocd UI, and shows the error: the server has asked for the client to provide credentials

Versions: EKS Kubernetes 1.20 ArgoCD: v2.4.5 also tried with v2.3.3 (assuming that this version still had aws cli), and it gave the same error: the server has asked for the client to provide credentials

The full error message when using argocd v2.4.5:

Unable to create application: error while validating and normalizing app: 
error validating the repo: 
the server has asked for the client to provide credentials

I did increase log level to debug, I didn't notice anything new around that error log line(the same info log lines around it, same as before increasing the log level).

Steps to reproduce:

Assume the following:

Then:

  1. prepare AWS IAM role to be assumed by argocd-server and argocd-application-controller pods: 1.1. Prepare the assume policy doc(specifying both argocd-server and argocd-application-controller service accounts), and call it eu-west-2-cluster-trust.json: 
    {
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "Federated": "arn:aws:iam::<AWS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER>:oidc-provider/oidc.eks.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/id/<OIDC_PROVIDER_ID>"
      },
      "Action": [
        "sts:AssumeRole",
        "sts:AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity"
      ],
      "Condition": {
        "StringEquals": {
          "oidc.eks.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/id/<OIDC_PROVIDER_ID>:aud": "sts.amazonaws.com",
          "oidc.eks.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/id/<OIDC_PROVIDER_ID>:sub": "system:serviceaccount:argocd:argocd-server"
        }
      }
    },
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "Federated": "arn:aws:iam::<AWS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER>:oidc-provider/oidc.eks.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/id/<OIDC_PROVIDER_ID>"
      },
      "Action": [
        "sts:AssumeRole",
        "sts:AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity"
      ],
      "Condition": {
        "StringEquals": {
          "oidc.eks.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/id/<OIDC_PROVIDER_ID>:aud": "sts.amazonaws.com",
          "oidc.eks.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/id/<OIDC_PROVIDER_ID>:sub": "system:serviceaccount:argocd:argocd-application-controller"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

    1.2 create the AWS IAM role:

    aws iam create-role --role-name argocd-deployer \
  --assume-role-policy-document file://eu-west-2-cluster-trust.json \
  --description "IAM Role to be used by ArgoCD."

    1.3. get the role arn:

    aws iam get-role --role-name argocd-deployer --query Role.Arn

    1.4. create policy.json file, and provide the role arn in the Resource field(or just keep it "*" ):

    {
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "ArgoCDSTS",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "sts:AssumeRole",
                "sts:AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

    1.5 attach the policy to argocd-deployer role:

    aws iam put-role-policy --role-name argocd-deployer \
  --policy-name ArgoCDSTS \
  --policy-document file://policy.json

  2. prepare a service account config and deploy it to the external cluster: 2.1. service account config, call it argocd-manager-sa.yaml:

    apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
# with or without the annotation, it didn't make a difference.
metadata:
  annotations:
    eks.amazonaws.com/role-arn: arn:aws:iam::<AWS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER>:role/argocd-deployer

  apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
  kind: ClusterRole
  name: argocd-manager-role
subjects:
# whether the subject kind is group or service account, it didn't make a difference.
- kind: Group
  name: "argocd:manager"

    2.2. deploy the service account config to the external cluster(in eu-west-1):

    kubectl apply -f argocd-manager-sa.yaml --context arn:aws:eks:eu-west-1:<AWS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER>:cluster/<CLUSTER_NAME>

    2.3. edit the aws-auth config map of the external cluster(in eu-west-1), and add the argocd-deployer role:

     kubectl --context arn:aws:eks:eu-west-1:<AWS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER>:cluster/<CLUSTER_NAME> -n kube-system edit configmap/aws-auth

    under mapRoles add:

        - rolearn: arn:aws:iam::<AWS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER>:role/argocd-deployer
      username: arn:aws:iam::<AWS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER>:role/argocd-deployer
      groups:
        - argocd:manager

# as a test, I even assigned the other powerful groups, it didn't make a difference.
    - rolearn: arn:aws:iam::<AWS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER>:role/argocd-deployer
      username: arn:aws:iam::<AWS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER>:role/argocd-deployer
      groups:
        - system:masters
        - system:bootstrappers
        - system:nodes
        - argocd:manager

  3. in the cluster where argocd is running, patch argocd-server and argocd-application-controller service account with the aws role arn, and the deployments with fsGroup 999:

    kubectl -n argocd patch serviceaccount argocd-application-controller --type=json \
    -p="[{\"op\": \"add\", \"path\": \"/metadata/annotations/eks.amazonaws.com~1role-arn\", \"value\": \"arn:aws:iam::<AWS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER>:role/argocd-deployer\"}]"

kubectl -n argocd patch serviceaccount argocd-server --type=json \
    -p="[{\"op\": \"add\", \"path\": \"/metadata/annotations/eks.amazonaws.com~1role-arn\", \"value\": \"arn:aws:iam::<AWS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER>:role/argocd-deployer\"}]"

kubectl -n argocd patch deployment argocd-server --type=json  \
    -p='[{"op": "add", "path": "/spec/template/spec/securityContext/fsGroup", "value": 999}]'

kubectl -n argocd patch statefulset argocd-application-controller --type=json \
    -p='[{"op": "add", "path": "/spec/template/spec/securityContext/fsGroup", "value": 999}]'

    after the fsGroup patch, argocd-server and argocd-application-controller pods will be restarted, kubectl -n argocd get pods.

  4. create a secret representing the external cluster configs, and call it eu-west-1-cluster-secret.yaml: 
    apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: eu-west-1-cluster-secret
  namespace: argocd
  labels:
    argocd.argoproj.io/secret-type: cluster
type: Opaque
stringData:
  name: arn:aws:eks:eu-west-1:<AWS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER>:cluster/<CLUSTER_NAME>
  server: https://<IDENTIFIER>.gr7.eu-west-1.eks.amazonaws.com
  config: |
    {
      "awsAuthConfig": {
        "clusterName": "arn:aws:eks:eu-west-1:<AWS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER>:cluster/<CLUSTER_NAME>",
        "roleARN": "arn:aws:iam::<AWS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER>:role/argocd-deployer"
      },
      "tlsClientConfig": {
        "insecure": false,
        "caData": "<BASE64_DATA>"
      }
    }

    deploy the external cluster secret to argocd:

    kubectl apply -f eu-west-1-cluster-secret.yaml
  5. create an application for the external cluster: Open ArgoCD UI --> new app --> edit as yaml --> provide the below contents --> save --> create 
    apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
  name: temp-busybox
spec:
  destination:
    name: ''
    namespace: default
    server: 'https://<IDENTIFIER>.gr7.eu-west-1.eks.amazonaws.com'
  source:
    path: .
    repoURL: 'https://<SOME_REPO>.git'
    targetRevision: main
    helm:
      valueFiles:
        - values.yaml
  project: default
  syncPolicy:
    syncOptions:
      - ApplyOutOfSyncOnly=true

    at this point it logs me out of argocd UI, and shows the error: the server has asked for the client to provide credentials

My questions:

  1. Is anyone able to notice anything wrong with the steps above?
  2. Is anyone able to use awsAuthConfig approach? then could you please share?
  3. What should I provide when trying to use awsAuthConfig(which utilizes argocd-k8s-auth)?

  4. In relation to the awsAuthConfig approach, I'm not exactly sure what the newAWSCommand is trying to do, well sure there's a sequence of steps, which returns a token, but I don't know if and how I can re-produce, or verify it manually. I did a describe for the argocd-server pod, under environment:

            AWS_DEFAULT_REGION:                                eu-west-2
        AWS_REGION:                                        eu-west-2
        AWS_ROLE_ARN:                                      arn:aws:iam::<AWS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER>:role/argocd-deployer
        AWS_WEB_IDENTITY_TOKEN_FILE:                       /var/run/secrets/eks.amazonaws.com/serviceaccount/token

    so did:

      k -n argocd exec argocd-server-6d5b484ccf-c2m54 cat /var/run/secrets/eks.amazonaws.com/serviceaccount/token

    then decode the token: jwt decode <token> returns:

      Token header
  ------------
  {
    "alg": "RS256",
    "kid": "<SOME_ID>"
  }

  Token claims
  ------------
  {
    "aud": [
      "sts.amazonaws.com"
    ],
    "exp": 1660996837,
    "iat": 1660910437,
    "iss": "https://oidc.eks.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/id/<OIDC_PROVIDER_ID>",
    "kubernetes.io": {
      "namespace": "argocd",
      "pod": {
        "name": "argocd-server-6d5b484ccf-c2m54",
        "uid": "<SOME_ID>"
      },
      "serviceaccount": {
        "name": "argocd-server",
        "uid": "<SOME_ID>"
      }
    },
    "nbf": 1660910437,
    "sub": "system:serviceaccount:argocd:argocd-server"
  }

    shows that this token was valid for 24 hours:

      date -d @1660996837

Thanks.

Hi @jannfis, sorry if I have disturbed you.

Do you reckon I should open a separate issue for my previous comment above? If so, which issue type would be better, open a bug report or a question? or is the comment above visible enough, and there is no need for a separate issue?

Thanks.

ONordander commented 1 year ago

Hey @AmmarovTou I think I see an issue with your setup: Your serviceaccount for argocd-server and argocd-application-controller should be annotated with their own roles and not argocd-deployer. Your awsAuthConfig already specifies that it should use argocd-deployer-role, and since you allow argocd-server & argocd-application-controller to assume that role it should work. Also you don't need to create the ServiceAccount argocd-manager in the remote cluster, argocd-deployer is already mapped to system:masters so it should be admin.

bigflood commented 1 year ago

@AmmarovTou

clusterName is the cluster name, not an ARN. (arn:aws:eks:eu-west-1:<AWS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER>:cluster/<CLUSTER_NAME> -> <CLUSTER_NAME>)

{
  "awsAuthConfig": {
    "clusterName": "<CLUSTER_NAME>",
    "roleARN": "arn:aws:iam::<AWS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER>:role/argocd-deployer"
  },
  "tlsClientConfig": {
    "insecure": false,
    "caData": "<BASE64_DATA>"
  }
}

And if the external cluster is in a different region, you must specify the region. However, awsAuthConfig doesn't have a region field, so your only option is execProviderConfig. like below

{
  "execProviderConfig": {
    "apiVersion": "client.authentication.k8s.io/v1beta1",
    "command": "argocd-k8s-auth",
    "args": [
      "aws",
      "--cluster-name",
      "<CLUSTER_NAME>",
      "--role-arn",
      "arn:aws:iam::<AWS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER>:role/argocd-deployer"
    ],
    "env": {
      "AWS_REGION": "eu-west-1"
    }
  },
  "tlsClientConfig": {
    "insecure": false,
    "caData": "<BASE64_DATA>"
  }
}

Can someone outline what troubleshooting steps they may have taken? I'm not clear yet how to debug it. I'm getting the following error:

getting credentials: exec: executable argocd-k8s-auth not found
blakepettersson commented 11 months ago

I added some docs on howto configure Argo with EKS (see #14187), hope this helps

sachin-net commented 10 months ago

Is there any way to dynamically get the caData for any target cluster that resides in a different AWS Account and region.

Background: I would be using Terraform to deploy argocd in the central / management cluster. For creating the secrets, I want to create the Secrets using Terraform as well. I do not want to store any caData for every cluster within my repo.

If the target account's IAM Role has permission to perform describe-cluster and within awsAuthConfig, we already have information for clusterName and roleARN. Can we somehow make argocd-k8s-auth dynamically fetch caData for a target cluster ?

Equivalent AWS CLI Command : aws eks describe-cluster --name testing --query "cluster.certificateAuthority" --output text

    {
      "awsAuthConfig": {
          "clusterName": "testing",
          "roleARN": "arn:aws:iam::12345678919:role/Deployer"
      },
      "tlsClientConfig": {
        "caData": "XXXYYYZZZ"
      }
    }
k1rk commented 10 months ago

@sachin-net if you will be creating secret with terraform you can leverage terraform for this as well. aws_eks_cluster resource provides CA as an output base64decode(aws_eks_cluster.example.certificate_authority[0].data)

Hi, I'm having similar issues adding a cluster to ArgoCD. The target cluster is in a different region (but in the same AWS account) that the one running ArgoCD. I'm getting the server has asked for the client to provide credentials in the UI and the secret configuration is the following: 

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: target-cluster
  labels:
    argocd.argoproj.io/secret-type: cluster
type: Opaque
stringData:
  name: "my-eks-cluster-name"
  server: https://<REDACTED>.gr7.eu-central-1.eks.amazonaws.com
  config: |
    {
      "execProviderConfig": {
        "apiVersion": "client.authentication.k8s.io/v1beta1",
        "command": "argocd-k8s-auth",
        "args": [
          "aws",
          "--cluster-name",
          "my-eks-cluster-name",
          "--role-arn",
          "arn:aws:iam::<AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>:role/sre/<IAM_ROLE_NAME>"
        ],
        "env": {
          "AWS_REGION": "eu-central-1"
        }
      },
      "tlsClientConfig": {
        "insecure": false,
        "caData": "<base64 encoded certificate>"
      }
    }

I have created IAM roles and annotated the service accounts and edited the aws-auth config map in the target cluster as described in the docs https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/operator-manual/declarative-setup/#eks my ArgoCD version: v2.8.4+c279299 EKS version: 1.27

when I run the command in the argocd-server pod it appears to be getting a token:

argocd-k8s-auth aws --cluster-name euc1-1 --role-arn "arn:aws:iam::<AWS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER>:role/sre/<IAM_ROLE_NAME>"
{"kind":"ExecCredential","apiVersion":"client.authentication.k8s.io/v1beta1","spec":{"interactive":false},"status":{"expirationTimestamp":"2023-09-25T16:18:36Z","token":"k8s-aws-v1.REDACTED"}}

could you please help? I have spent a number of hours troubleshooting this issue and I'm running out of ideas I should also mention that adding the cluster through the argocd cli (argocd cluster add ...) works as expected

mmerickel commented 8 months ago

I am not sure what example you’re following to use execProviderConfig but if you go back to just using awsAuthConfig there is no need to care about cross region details. The endpoint is in another region, but IAM is global and argocd can grab the creds from its local region and use them to talk to any cluster endpoint that understands them regardless of region or account.

mdellavedova commented 8 months ago

@mmerickel I was following the instructions in the post above https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/issues/2347#issuecomment-1387555505 I have tried with awsAuthConfig and I'm not getting anywhere either... is there anything I can do to troubleshoot further?

mmerickel commented 8 months ago

I've been using my comments here plus the linked comment/instructions to manage cross-account cross-region clusters without issues for a while now. All of the configs look like:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
type: Opaque
metadata:
  name: test-cluster
  namespace: argocd
  labels:
    argocd.argoproj.io/secret-type: cluster
data:
  name: "cluster name shown in argocd",
  server: "https://eks-control-plane-endpoint",
  config: |
    {
      "awsAuthConfig": {
        "clusterName": "<actual-name-of-eks-cluster>"
      },
      "tlsClientConfig": {
        "caData": "the base64 ca data string"
      }
    }

This is all you need assuming:
