Summary

  • Add a new helm/network-policies chart with two Kubernetes NetworkPolicy objects: hyperfleet-api-ingress (restricts ingress on the API's app port to only the hyperfleet-gateway pods, plus a Prometheus-only exception for metrics scraping) and hyperfleet-api-postgres-ingress (restricts ingress on the API's Postgres port to only the API pods)
  • Wire the new chart into helmfile.yaml.gotmpl as a network-policies release, deployed after hyperfleet-api and hyperfleet-gateway
  • Install Cilium CNI on kind clusters (make install-kind-cilium) since kind has no built-in NetworkPolicy enforcement, and disable kind's default CNI via scripts/kind-config.yaml so Cilium is the sole CNI
  • Enable GKE Dataplane V2 (datapath_provider = "ADVANCED_DATAPATH") so NetworkPolicy is also enforced on GCP clusters
  • Add validate-network-policies to ci-dry-run, asserting both expected NetworkPolicy objects render

Context

Envoy + Authorino already enforce auth at the gateway (HYPERFLEET-1479), but nothing prevents traffic from reaching the API pods directly, bypassing the gateway entirely. This closes that gap at the network layer: the API and its Postgres are only reachable from their intended callers.

⚠️ Deployment note

datapath_provider is immutable after cluster creation. Any existing GKE cluster provisioned by this module (e.g. personal dev clusters) will need to be recreated (make destroy-terraform + make install-terraform, or equivalent) for Dataplane V2 / NetworkPolicy enforcement to take effect — it cannot be applied in place.

Test plan

  • make ci-dry-run passes locally (validate-terraform, lint-helm, lint-shellcheck, validate-maestro, validate-authorino, validate-network-policies)
  • helm template on helm/network-policies renders both expected policies with default and overridden monitoringNamespace
  • terraform validate / terraform fmt -check pass for the GKE module
  • Verified end-to-end on a real kind cluster with Cilium installed (API reachable only via gateway, Prometheus scrape still works)
  • Verified end-to-end on a recreated GKE dev cluster with Dataplane V2 enabled

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added configurable Kubernetes NetworkPolicies for API ingress, monitoring metrics, and database connectivity.
    • Added Cilium installation and removal support for local Kind clusters.
    • Enabled advanced networking and NetworkPolicy support on GKE clusters.
    • Added automated validation for rendered NetworkPolicies during CI dry runs.
  • Improvements

    • Local Kind environments now use a dedicated configuration and install Cilium automatically.
    • Network policies can be configured for custom namespaces and workload labels.

Walkthrough

The change configures Cilium for Kind clusters and enables GKE Dataplane V2. It adds Make targets for Cilium installation and removal. It adds a Helm chart for API, monitoring, and PostgreSQL ingress NetworkPolicies. Helmfile deploys the chart with namespace-specific values. CI dry-run validates the rendered policies. Local Kind setup installs Cilium before deploying the stack.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to efab9

The PR adds network-policy enforcement and cluster setup, but the current Makefile can execute shell syntax supplied through KIND_CLUSTER_NAME or KIND_CONFIG in operator or CI environments. The PR is not merge-ready until those inputs are validated and safely quoted; the required infrastructure changelog entry is also still missing.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files. (3 skipped: 3 unsupported.)

Full details: Sec-02: Secrets In Log Output

Explanation

PASS. The PR changes Makefile, Helm, Helmfile, Kind YAML, and Terraform only. No added slog, log, logr, zap, or fmt.Print* statement exists. Added echo output contains cluster/Cilium status and rendered NetworkPolicy names only. No added token, password, credential, or secret field or interpolation exists. The existing credential/password-related Makefile lines are unchanged. CWE-532 is not triggered.

Full details: No Hardcoded Secrets

Explanation

No hardcoded secret was introduced. The added lines contain only cluster, Cilium, Helm, NetworkPolicy, and Terraform configuration. No added API key, token, password, private key, credential-bearing URL, secret-like literal assignment, or base64 string longer than 32 characters was found. Secret-like Makefile matches, including the Grafana password input and SHA-256 values, existed in the parent revision. No CWE-259 or CWE-798 condition applies; no CVE is indicated.

Full details: No Weak Cryptography

Explanation

No weak cryptography was introduced. The exact pull-request patch changes Makefile, Helm, Helmfile, Kind, and Terraform configuration only. Searches of all changed files and all added lines found no crypto/md5, crypto/des, crypto/rc4, SHA1, ECB, custom cryptography, or secret-comparison implementation. No CWE/CVE applies.

Full details: No Injection Vectors

Explanation

No stated injection vector was introduced. The diff changes only Makefile, Helm/YAML, and Terraform files; it adds no Go code and no SQL queries. The added Helm tpl calls do not use template.HTML(). Repository-wide searches found no exec.Command, exec.CommandContext, or yaml.Unmarshal; the only existing fmt.Sprintf calls build GCP resource paths, not queries, and are unchanged. Therefore CWE-89, CWE-78, CWE-79, and CWE-502 conditions are not met.

Full details: No Privileged Containers

Explanation

PASS. The pull request adds only NetworkPolicy resources and kind/GKE configuration. No changed Kubernetes manifest, Helm template, or Dockerfile contains privileged: true, hostPID, hostNetwork, hostIPC, SYS_ADMIN, allowPrivilegeEscalation: true, or root execution. The Cilium command installs an external CNI only in the local kind path; it does not add a privileged workload manifest to this repository. No CWE/CVE finding applies.

Full details: No Pii Or Sensitive Data In Logs

Explanation

PASS. The diff adds only static Makefile status/error echo output and Helm printf template functions. The interpolated values are cluster/environment names, Cilium version, and namespace; no email, SSN, card data, session ID, raw request/response body, or credential-bearing hostname is logged. No application logging code changed. This does not meet CWE-532 sensitive-information-in-logs criteria.

Verify the Cilium chart artifact before installation.

helm repo update and helm upgrade fetch the chart from the network on every run. The version pin does not verify the downloaded chart bytes. A compromised chart can install privileged Cilium workloads across the cluster. Pin and verify a chart artifact digest or provenance before applying it. This is CWE-494.

Validate and safely expand Kind inputs.

Line 103 and Line 115 expand KIND_CLUSTER_NAME and KIND_CONFIG directly in shell commands. A caller can pass shell syntax through Make variables and execute commands in the operator or CI environment. This is CWE-78.

Validate KIND_CLUSTER_NAME as a DNS label before use. Expand both values through shell variables and quote them.
