Using kubernetes hydra.ory.sh with awx.ansible.com

Question

Pulumi · Accepted Answer

To achieve the integration of Hydra (an OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect provider) from ORY running in a Kubernetes cluster with AWX (the upstream project for Ansible Tower), you would typically deploy Hydra on your Kubernetes cluster and then configure AWX to authenticate using Hydra.

Let's break down the steps:

1. **Set up a Kubernetes cluster**: You need a running Kubernetes cluster. You can either use an existing one or create a new one using Pulumi with cloud providers like AWS, Azure, or GCP.
   
2. **Deploy Hydra to Kubernetes**: Hydra can be installed on Kubernetes using their provided Helm charts or Kubernetes manifests. You'll need to set up Hydra correctly with the necessary OAuth 2.0 client IDs and secrets that AWX will use to authenticate.

3. **Set up AWX**: AWX can be set up on Kubernetes, and you will need to configure it to use Hydra as an OAuth 2.0 provider. You'll most likely modify AWX's settings to communicate with Hydra.

Below is a Pulumi program that assumes you have a Kubernetes cluster up and running and demonstrates how to set up Hydra within that cluster. It doesn't include the actual setup of the Kubernetes cluster or the configuration required within AWX, as these are complex and context-specific tasks.

The program uses a simplified example to give you an idea of how you could install Hydra on a Kubernetes cluster using TypeScript and Pulumi.

```typescript
import * as k8s from '@pulumi/kubernetes';

// This is a Pulumi Kubernetes Provider that points to your existing cluster.
const k8sProvider = new k8s.Provider('k8s-provider', {
    // You should configure your Kubernetes provider with the appropriate credentials
    // and context information. This example uses an existing kubeconfig file.
    kubeconfig: '/path/to/your/kubeconfig',
});

// Deploy ORY Hydra using a Helm Chart
const hydraChart = new k8s.helm.v3.Chart('ory-hydra', {
    chart: 'hydra',
    version: '1.10.3', // Replace with the desired chart version
    namespace: 'hydra', // Namespace where you want to install Hydra
    fetchOpts: {
        repo: 'https://k8s.ory.sh/helm/charts', // ORY's official Helm repo
    },
    values: {
        // Provide necessary values to configure Hydra.
        // This is a simplistic example, and you should refer to the Hydra Helm chart for all configuration options.
        hydra: {
            // Define Hydra's configuration values here.
            // Refer to their documentation for all available options.
        },
        // If you need to set up persistence, you would configure it here.
        // ingress: {
        //     // Setup ingress if required
        // },
    },
}, { provider: k8sProvider });

// To apply the Pulumi configuration, you would run `pulumi up`
// This command deploys everything you defined to your Kubernetes cluster.

// After deployment, Hydra should be running in your cluster. The next steps would involve configuring it properly and then
// integrating it with AWX by setting up OAuth 2.0.

// Exporting the Hydra service information for external access if needed.
export const hydraServiceHostname = hydraChart.getResourceProperty(
    'v1/Service', 'hydra/hydra', 'status').apply(status => status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].hostname);

console.log(`Hydra service is running at: ${hydraServiceHostname}`);
```

In this program, we use Pulumi to deploy ORY Hydra using its official Helm chart on an existing Kubernetes cluster. It imports ORY Hydra's Helm chart and configures it with the necessary values. You would need to fill in the chart values with appropriate configurations specific to your setup.

Keep in mind that the above code does not include the deployment of the Kubernetes cluster itself or the configuration of AWX to use Hydra. The actual integration between AWX and Hydra involves setting up OAuth 2.0 clients and configuring AWX authentication settings, which is outside the scope of this Pulumi program and should be approached according to both Hydra's and AWX's documentation.
