Summary

Tighten the README IRSA example policy: list/describe APIs stay on Resource: "*", while Route Server peer write APIs and ModifyNetworkInterfaceAttribute use account/region-scoped ARNs. Also set AWS_REGION from rosa describe cluster so ARN templates are not left unset.

Behavior

  • ReadOnly: sts:GetCallerIdentity + Describe Route Servers / Endpoints / Peers / Subnets / Instances → Resource: "*".
  • RouteServerPeerManagement: CreateRouteServerPeer, DeleteRouteServerPeer, CreateTags
    arn:aws:ec2:$AWS_REGION:$ACCOUNT:route-server-endpoint/* and ...:route-server-peer/*.
  • DisableSourceDestCheck: ModifyNetworkInterfaceAttribute
    arn:aws:ec2:$AWS_REGION:$ACCOUNT:network-interface/*.

Looser option

If region-scoped ARNs are too tight, replace the region segment with *
e.g. arn:aws:ec2:*:'$AWS_ACCOUNT_ID':route-server-peer/*
(and the same for endpoint / network-interface).
Full "Resource": "*" on write statements remains valid when least-privilege is not required yet.

Code

  • README.md only, No Go changes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The AWS IRSA setup now derives AWS_REGION from ROSA cluster metadata. The IAM policy separates read-only permissions from Route Server peer, tagging, and SourceDestCheck permissions. Mutating permissions use region- and account-scoped Route Server and network-interface resources.

Suggested reviewers: alebedev87, frobware, jpinsonneau

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to d09b2

This localized documentation change tightens the example IAM policy and sets the region used in ARN templates; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

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. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Full details: Stable And Deterministic Test Names

Explanation

PASS — The pull request changes only README.md; the exact diff contains no Ginkgo test declarations or test titles. The repository’s existing Go test titles are unchanged, so this pull request introduces no dynamic or overly specific test name.

Full details: Test Structure And Quality

Explanation

PASS — The pull request changes only README.md. The diff contains AWS IRSA documentation and shell/IAM policy examples, with no Ginkgo test code, It blocks, resource setup, waits, or assertions. Therefore, this test-structure check is not applicable to the changed code.

Full details: Microshift Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS — The pull request changes only README.md. The diff adds AWS IRSA documentation and IAM policy examples; it adds no Ginkgo e2e tests (It, Describe, Context, or When). Therefore, the MicroShift test compatibility check is not applicable.

Full details: Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility

Explanation

PASS. The pull request changes only README.md (+21/-4), as confirmed by the committed diff. It adds AWS IRSA documentation and IAM ARN examples only. It does not add or modify deployment manifests, operator code, controllers, replicas, affinity, topology spread, selectors, tolerations, or PDBs. The topology-aware scheduling check is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Ote Binary Stdout Contract

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only README.md. The patch adds AWS IAM documentation and an AWS_REGION shell assignment. It does not change main(), init(), TestMain(), suite setup, or any Go source, so it introduces no process-level stdout write or JSON stdout contract violation.

Full details: No-Weak-Crypto

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only README.md. The added content contains AWS IAM actions, ARNs, and region/account shell variables. It introduces no MD5, SHA1, DES, RC4, 3DES, Blowfish, ECB, custom cryptography, or secret/token comparison logic.

Full details: Container-Privileges

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only README.md. The added lines contain AWS IAM policy and region commands, with no privileged container or Kubernetes settings. No manifest in the diff adds privileged:true, hostPID, hostNetwork, hostIPC, SYS_ADMIN, or allowPrivilegeEscalation:true. Existing deployment security contexts use runAsNonRoot:true and allowPrivilegeEscalation:false, and the main images specify USER 65532:65532.

Full details: No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only README.md. The added content assigns AWS_REGION and defines IAM policy ARNs. It adds no logging, print, echo, or log-output behavior, and it emits no passwords, tokens, API keys, PII, session IDs, hostnames, or customer data.

In `@README.md`:
- Around line 186-187: Update the IAM statement granting
ec2:ModifyNetworkInterfaceAttribute to add an ec2:Attribute condition restricted
to sourceDestCheck, while preserving the existing resource scope and action.
- Line 168: Update the StringLike condition for ec2:ResourceTag/managed-by to
require this cluster’s exact tag value instead of matching the shared
cudn-bgp-routing-operator/* prefix, preserving peer deletion isolation between
clusters.
- Line 179: Update the IAM policy example around the aws:RequestTag/managed-by
condition so ec2:CreateTags cannot be used to overwrite or adopt an unmanaged
route-server peer; limit tag permission to creation-time operations and required
tag keys, or reference a separate trusted adoption workflow.
