DynamoDB backend implementation for Teleport.

Introduction

This package enables Teleport auth server to store secrets in DynamoDB on AWS.

WARNING: Using DynamoDB involves reccuring charge from AWS.

The table created by the backend will provision 5/5 R/W capacity. It should be covered by the free tier.

Building

DynamoDB backend is not enabled by default. To enable it you have to compile Teleport with dynamo build flag.

To build Teleport with DynamoDB enabled, run:

ADDFLAGS='-tags dynamodb' make teleport

Quick Start

Add this storage configuration in teleport section of the config file (by default it's /etc/teleport.yaml):

teleport:
  storage:
    type: dynamodb
    region: eu-west-1
    table_name: teleport.state
    access_key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    secret_key: YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Replace region and table_name with your own settings. Teleport will create the table automatically.

AWS IAM Role

You can use IAM role instead of hard coded access and secret key (IAM role is recommended). You must apply correct policy in order to the auth to create/get/update K/V in DynamoDB.

Example of a typical policy (change region and account ID):

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "AllAPIActionsOnTeleportAuth",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "dynamodb:*",
            "Resource": "arn:aws:dynamodb:eu-west-1:123456789012:table/prod.teleport.auth"
        }
    ]
}

Overview

Package dynamodbDynamoDBBackend implements DynamoDB storage backend for Teleport auth service, similar to etcd backend.

dynamo package implements the DynamoDB storage back-end for the auth server. Originally contributed by https://github.com/apestel

limitations:

• Paging is not implemented, hence all range operations are limited to 1MB result set

Functions

func GetName

func GetName() string

GetName() is a part of backend API and it returns DynamoDB backend type as it appears in `storage/type` section of Teleport YAML

func New

func New(params backend.Params) (backend.Backend, error)

New returns new instance of DynamoDB backend. It's an implementation of backend API's NewFunc

Types

type DynamoConfig

type DynamoConfig struct {
	// Region is where DynamoDB Table will be used to store k/v
	Region string `json:"region,omitempty"`
	// AWS AccessKey used to authenticate DynamoDB queries (prefer IAM role instead of hardcoded value)
	AccessKey string `json:"access_key,omitempty"`
	// AWS SecretKey used to authenticate DynamoDB queries (prefer IAM role instead of hardcoded value)
	SecretKey string `json:"secret_key,omitempty"`
	// Tablename where to store K/V in DynamoDB
	Tablename string `json:"table_name,omitempty"`
}

DynamoConfig structure represents DynamoDB confniguration as appears in `storage` section of Teleport YAML

type DynamoDBBackend

type DynamoDBBackend struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

DynamoDBBackend struct

func (*DynamoDBBackend) AcquireLock

func (b *DynamoDBBackend) AcquireLock(token string, ttl time.Duration) error

AcquireLock for a token

func (*DynamoDBBackend) Clock

func (b *DynamoDBBackend) Clock() clockwork.Clock

Clock returns wall clock
