26 Nov 2020 » system configuration, sysadmin, homelab, server build, sdk, kubernetes

Access to cluster resources with python.

Creating Tokens

APISERVER=$(kubectl config view --minify -o jsonpath='{.clusters[0].cluster.server}')
SECRET_NAME=$(kubectl get serviceaccount default -o jsonpath='{.secrets[0].name}')
TOKEN=$(kubectl get secret $SECRET_NAME -o jsonpath='{.data.token}' | base64 --decode)

curl $APISERVER/api --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" --insecure

Granting default:default Permissions to the kubernetes service account

kubectl create clusterrolebinding default-admin --clusterrole cluster-admin --serviceaccount=default:default

from kubernetes import client, config


def main():
    # Define the barer token we are going to use to authenticate.
    # See here to create the token:
    # https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/access-cluster/
    aToken = "$TOKEN Thats Generated From Above"

    # Create a configuration object
    aConfiguration = client.Configuration()

    # Specify the endpoint of your Kube cluster
    aConfiguration.host = "https://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:6443"

    # Security part.
    # In this simple example we are not going to verify the SSL certificate of
    # the remote cluster (for simplicity reason)
    aConfiguration.verify_ssl = False
    # Nevertheless if you want to do it you can with these 2 parameters
    # configuration.verify_ssl=True
    # ssl_ca_cert is the filepath to the file that contains the certificate.
    # configuration.ssl_ca_cert="certificate"

    aConfiguration.api_key = {"authorization": "Bearer " + aToken}

    # Create a ApiClient with our config
    aApiClient = client.ApiClient(aConfiguration)

    # Do calls
    v1 = client.CoreV1Api(aApiClient)
    print("Listing pods with their IPs:")
    ret = v1.list_pod_for_all_namespaces(watch=False)
    for i in ret.items:
        print("%s\t%s\t%s" %
              (i.status.pod_ip, i.metadata.namespace, i.metadata.name))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
