ACM Private CA Policy
Amazon Certificate Manager Private CA Backend
The default mTLS policy in Kong Mesh supports the following backends:
-
builtin
: Kong Mesh automatically generates the Certificate Authority (CA) root certificate and key that will be used to generate the data plane certificates. -
provided
: the CA root certificate and key can be provided by the user.
Kong Mesh adds:
-
vault
: Kong Mesh generates data plane certificates using a CA root certificate and key stored in a HashiCorp Vault server. -
acmpca
: Kong Mesh generates data plane certificates using Amazon Certificate Manager Private CA. -
certmanager
: Kong Mesh generates data plane certificates using Kubernetes cert-manager certificate controller.
ACM Private CA mode
In acmpca
mTLS mode, Kong Mesh communicates with the Amazon Certificate Manager,
which generates the data plane proxy certificates automatically.
Kong Mesh does not retrieve any CA private keys,
which means that the private key of the CA is secured by Amazon ACM and not exposed to third parties.
In acmpca
mode, you point Kong Mesh to the
ACM resource and optionally provide an authentication method. Kong Mesh
will use the default AWS credential chain to authenticate.
When Kong Mesh is running in acmpca
mode, the backend communicates with AWS ACM
and ensures data plane certificates are issued and rotated for each proxy.
Configure ACM Private CA
The acmpca
mTLS backend requires a configured ACM Private CA resource to be accessible.
The following steps show how to configure ACM Private CA for Kong Mesh with
a mesh named default
. For your environment, replace default
with the appropriate mesh name.
Kong Mesh works with a Root CA or an Intermediate CA.
See ACM Private CA documentation to learn how to create an ACM Private CA in AWS.
Once created, you will need the ARN of the Private CA and the Root Certificate Chain to configure Kong Mesh.
Configure Mesh
Authentication and AWS Client Configuration
kuma-cp
communicates directly with ACM Private CA. kuma-cp
will use the default ordering
of AWS credential chain to authenticate. It will search for credentials in environment
variables, configuration files and EC2 / IRSA roles. In addition to credentials, AWS configuration
may be specified in standard environment variables, such as AWS_REGION.
AWS credentials may also be supplied as secrets stored by Kong Mesh.
ACMPCA mTLS Configuration
AWS credentials and CA Certificate may be supplied inline, as a path to a file on the
same host as kuma-cp
, or contained in a secret
. Inline specification of credentials should
be used for testing purposes only.
When using a secret
, it should be a mesh-scoped secret.
On Kubernetes, this mesh-scoped secret should be stored
in the system namespace (kong-mesh-system
by default) and should be configured as type: system.kuma.io/secret
.
Here’s an example of a configuration with a acmpca
-backed CA:
Apply the configuration with kumactl apply -f [..]
.
If you’re running in Universal mode, you can also use the HTTP API to apply configuration.
multi-zone and ACM Private CA
In a multi-zone environment, the global control plane provides the Mesh
to the zone control planes. However, you must make sure that each zone control plane can communicate with ACM Private CA. This is because certificates for data plane proxies are requested from ACM Private CA by the zone control plane, not the global control plane.
