|
|
Kubeconform is a Kubernetes manifests validation tool. Build it into your CI to validate your Kubernetes
|
|
configuration!
|
|
|
|
It is inspired by, contains code from and is designed to stay close to
|
|
[Kubeval](https://github.com/instrumenta/kubeval), but with the following improvements:
|
|
* **high performance**: will validate & download manifests over multiple routines, caching
|
|
downloaded files in memory
|
|
* configurable list of **remote, or local schemas locations**, enabling validating Kubernetes
|
|
custom resources (CRDs) and offline validation capabilities
|
|
* uses by default a [self-updating fork](https://github.com/yannh/kubernetes-json-schema) of the schemas registry maintained
|
|
by the [kubernetes-json-schema](https://github.com/instrumenta/kubernetes-json-schema) project - which guarantees
|
|
up-to-date **schemas for all recent versions of Kubernetes**.
|
|
|
|
### A small overview of Kubernetes manifest validation
|
|
|
|
Kubernetes's API is described using the [OpenAPI (formerly swagger) specification](https://www.openapis.org),
|
|
in a [file](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/api/openapi-spec/swagger.json) checked into
|
|
the main Kubernetes repository.
|
|
|
|
Because of the state of the tooling to perform validation against OpenAPI schemas, projects usually convert
|
|
the OpenAPI schemas to [JSON schemas](https://json-schema.org/) first. Kubeval relies on
|
|
[instrumenta/OpenApi2JsonSchema](https://github.com/instrumenta/openapi2jsonschema) to convert Kubernetes' Swagger file
|
|
and break it down into multiple JSON schemas, stored in github at
|
|
[instrumenta/kubernetes-json-schema](https://github.com/instrumenta/kubernetes-json-schema) and published on
|
|
[kubernetesjsonschema.dev](https://kubernetesjsonschema.dev/).
|
|
|
|
Kubeconform relies on [a fork of kubernetes-json-schema](https://github.com/yannh/kubernetes-json-schema/)
|
|
that is more aggressively kept up-to-date, and contains schemas for all recent versions of Kubernetes.
|
|
|
|
### Limits of Kubeconform validation
|
|
|
|
Kubeconform, similarly to kubeval, only validates manifests using the OpenAPI specifications. In some
|
|
cases, the Kubernetes controllers might perform additional validation - so that manifests passing kubeval
|
|
validation would still error when being deployed. See for example these bugs against kubeval:
|
|
[#253](https://github.com/instrumenta/kubeval/issues/253)
|
|
[#256](https://github.com/instrumenta/kubeval/issues/256)
|
|
[#257](https://github.com/instrumenta/kubeval/issues/257)
|
|
[#259](https://github.com/instrumenta/kubeval/issues/259). The validation logic mentioned in these
|
|
bug reports is not part of Kubernetes' OpenAPI spec, and therefore kubeconform/kubeval will not detect the
|
|
configuration errors.
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
If you are a [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) user, you can install by running:
|
|
|
|
```bash

### Usage examples
|
|
|
|
* Validating a single, valid file
|
|
```
|
|
$ ./bin/kubeconform fixtures/valid.yaml
|
|
$ echo $?
|
|
0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Validating a single invalid file, setting output to json, and printing a summary
|
|
```
|
|
$ ./bin/kubeconform -summary -output json fixtures/invalid.yaml
|
|
{
|
|
"resources": [
|
|
{
|
|
"filename": "fixtures/invalid.yaml",
|
|
"kind": "ReplicationController",
|
|
"version": "v1",
|
|
"status": "INVALID",
|
|
"msg": "Additional property templates is not allowed - Invalid type. Expected: [integer,null], given: string"
|
|
}
|
|
],
|
|
"summary": {
|
|
"valid": 0,
|
|
"invalid": 1,
|
|
"errors": 0,
|
|
"skipped": 0
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
$ echo $?
|
|
1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Passing manifests via Stdin
|
|
```
|
|
cat fixtures/valid.yaml | ./bin/kubeconform -summary
|
|
Summary: 1 resource found parsing stdin - Valid: 1, Invalid: 0, Errors: 0 Skipped: 0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Validating a folder, increasing the number of parallel workers
|
|
```
|
|
$ ./bin/kubeconform -summary -n 16 fixtures
|
|
fixtures/crd_schema.yaml - CustomResourceDefinition trainingjobs.sagemaker.aws.amazon.com failed validation: could not find schema for CustomResourceDefinition
|
|
fixtures/invalid.yaml - ReplicationController bob is invalid: Invalid type. Expected: [integer,null], given: string
|
|
[...]
|
|
Summary: 65 resources found in 34 files - Valid: 55, Invalid: 2, Errors: 8 Skipped: 0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Overriding schemas location - CRD and Openshift support
|
|
|
|
When the `-schema-location` parameter is not used, or set to "default", kubeconform will default to downloading
|
|
schemas from `https://github.com/yannh/kubernetes-json-schema`. Kubeconform however supports passing one, or multiple,
|
|
schemas locations - HTTP(s) URLs, or local filesystem paths, in which case it will lookup for schema definitions
|
|
in each of them, in order, stopping as soon as a matching file is found.
|
|
|
|
* If the -schema-location value does not end with '.json', Kubeconform will assume filenames / a file
|
|
structure identical to that of kubernetesjsonschema.dev or github.com/yannh/kubernetes-json-schema.
|
|
* if the -schema-location value ends with '.json' - Kubeconform assumes the value is a Go templated
|
|
string that indicates how to search for JSON schemas.
|
|
* the -schema-location value of "default" is an alias for https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yannh/kubernetes-json-schema/master/{{ .NormalizedKubernetesVersion }}-standalone{{ .StrictSuffix }}/{{ .ResourceKind }}{{ .KindSuffix }}.json.
|
|
Both following command lines are equivalent:
|
|
```
|
|
$ ./bin/kubeconform fixtures/valid.yaml
|
|
$ ./bin/kubeconform -schema-location default fixtures/valid.yaml
|
|
$ ./bin/kubeconform -schema-location 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yannh/kubernetes-json-schema/master/{{ .NormalizedKubernetesVersion }}-standalone{{ .StrictSuffix }}/{{ .ResourceKind }}{{ .KindSuffix }}.json' fixtures/valid.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To support validating CRDs, we need to convert OpenAPI files to JSON schema, storing the JSON schemas
|
|
in a local folder - for example schemas. Then we specify this folder as an additional registry to lookup:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# If the resource Kind is not found in kubernetesjsonschema.dev, also lookup in the schemas/ folder for a matching file
|
|
$ ./bin/kubeconform -schema-location default -schema-location 'schemas/{{ .ResourceKind }}{{ .KindSuffix }}.json' fixtures/custom-resource.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can validate Openshift manifests using a custom schema location. Set the OpenShift version to validate
|
|
against using -kubernetes-version.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
bin/kubeconform -kubernetes-version 3.8.0 -schema-location 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/garethr/openshift-json-schema/master/{{ .NormalizedKubernetesVersion }}-standalone{{ .StrictSuffix }}/{{ .ResourceKind }}.json' -summary fixtures/valid.yaml
|
|
Summary: 1 resource found in 1 file - Valid: 1, Invalid: 0, Errors: 0 Skipped: 0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Here are the variables you can use in -schema-location:
|
|
* *NormalizedKubernetesVersion* - Kubernetes Version, prefixed by v
|
|
* *StrictSuffix* - "-strict" or "" depending on whether validation is running in strict mode or not
|
|
* *ResourceKind* - Kind of the Kubernetes Resource
|
|
* *ResourceAPIVersion* - Version of API used for the resource - "v1" in "apiVersion: monitoring.coreos.com/v1"
|
|
* *KindSuffix* - suffix computed from apiVersion - for compatibility with Kubeval schema registries
|
|
|
|
### Converting an OpenAPI file to a JSON Schema
|
|
|
|
Kubeconform uses JSON schemas to validate Kubernetes resources. For Custom Resource, the CustomResourceDefinition
|
|
first needs to be converted to JSON Schema. A script is provided to convert these CustomResourceDefinitions
|
|
to JSON schema. Here is an example how to use it:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ ./scripts/openapi2jsonschema.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aws/amazon-sagemaker-operator-for-k8s/master/config/crd/bases/sagemaker.aws.amazon.com_trainingjobs.yaml
|
|
JSON schema written to trainingjob_v1.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `FILENAME_FORMAT` environment variable can be used to change the output file name (Available variables: `kind`, `group`, `version`) (Default: `{kind}_{version}`).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ export FILENAME_FORMAT='{kind}-{group}-{version}'
|
|
$ ./scripts/openapi2jsonschema.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aws/amazon-sagemaker-operator-for-k8s/master/config/crd/bases/sagemaker.aws.amazon.com_trainingjobs.yaml
|
|
JSON schema written to trainingjob-sagemaker-v1.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Usage as a Github Action
|
|
|
|
Kubeconform is publishes Docker Images to Github's new Container Registry, ghcr.io. These images
|
|
can be used directly in a Github Action, once logged in using a [_Github Token_](https://github.blog/changelog/2021-03-24-packages-container-registry-now-supports-github_token/).
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
```
|
|
name: kubeconform
|
|
on: push
|
|
jobs:
|
|
kubeconform:
|
|
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
|
steps:
|
|
- name: login to Github Packages
|
|
run: echo "${{ github.token }}" | docker login https://ghcr.io -u ${GITHUB_ACTOR} --password-stdin
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
|
|
- uses: docker://ghcr.io/yannh/kubeconform:master
|
|
with:
|
|
entrypoint: '/kubeconform'
|
|
args: "-summary -output json kubeconfigs/"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
_Note on pricing_: Kubeconform relies on Github Container Registry which is currently in Beta. During that period,
|
|
[bandwidth is free](https://docs.github.com/en/packages/guides/about-github-container-registry). After that period,
|
|
bandwidth costs might be applicable. Since bandwidth from Github Packages within Github Actions is free, I expect
|
|
Github Container Registry to also be usable for free within Github Actions in the future. If that were not to be the
|
|
case, I might publish the Docker image to a different platform.
|
|
|
|
### Speed comparison with Kubeval
|
|
|
|
Running on a pretty large kubeconfigs setup, on a laptop with 4 cores:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ time kubeconform -ignore-missing-schemas -n 8 -summary preview staging production
|
|
Summary: 50714 resources found in 35139 files - Valid: 27334, Invalid: 0, Errors: 0 Skipped: 23380
|
|
|
|
real 0m6,710s
|
|
user 0m38,701s
|
|
sys 0m1,161s
|
|
|
|
$ time kubeval -d preview,staging,production --ignore-missing-schemas --quiet
|
|
[... Skipping output]
|
|
|
|
real 0m35,336s
|
|
user 0m0,717s
|
|
sys 0m1,069s
|
|
|
|
```

|
### Using kubeconform as a Go Module
|
|
|
|
**Warning**: This is a work-in-progress, the interface is not yet considered stable. Feedback is encouraged.
|
|
|
|
Kubeconform contains a package that can be used as a library.
|
|
An example of usage can be found in [examples/main.go](examples/main.go)
|
