# Installation and setup
|
|
|
|
Constellation runs entirely in your cloud environment and can be controlled via a dedicated [command-line interface (CLI)](../reference/cli.md) or a [Terraform provider](../workflows/terraform-provider.md).
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Make sure the following requirements are met:
|
|
|
|
* Your machine is running Linux, macOS, or Windows
|
|
* You have admin rights on your machine
|
|
* [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/) is installed
|
|
* Your CSP is Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), or STACKIT
|
|
|
|
## Install the Constellation CLI
|
|
|
|
:::tip
|
|
|
|
If you prefer to use Terraform, you can alternatively use the [Terraform provider](../workflows/terraform-provider.md) to manage the cluster's lifecycle.
|
|
|

## Set up cloud credentials
|
|
|
|
Constellation makes authenticated calls to the CSP API. Therefore, you need to set up Constellation with the credentials for your CSP.
|
|
|
|
:::tip
|
|
If you don't have a cloud subscription, you can also set up a [local Constellation cluster using virtualization](../getting-started/first-steps-local.md) for testing.

|
|
### Required permissions
|
|
|
|
<Tabs groupId="csp">
|
|
<TabItem value="aws" label="AWS">
|
|
|
|
To set up a Constellation cluster, you need to perform two tasks that require permissions: create the infrastructure and create roles for cluster nodes. Both of these actions can be performed by different users, e.g., an administrator to create roles and a DevOps engineer to create the infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
To [create the IAM configuration](../workflows/config.md#creating-an-iam-configuration) for Constellation, you need the following permissions:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"Version": "2012-10-17",
|
|
"Statement": [
|
|
{
|
|
"Effect": "Allow",
|
|
"Action": [
|
|
"ec2:DescribeAccountAttributes",
|
|
"iam:AddRoleToInstanceProfile",
|
|
"iam:AttachRolePolicy",
|
|
"iam:CreateInstanceProfile",
|
|
"iam:CreatePolicy",
|
|
"iam:CreateRole",
|
|
"iam:DeleteInstanceProfile",
|
|
"iam:DeletePolicy",
|
|
"iam:DeletePolicyVersion",
|
|
"iam:DeleteRole",
|
|
"iam:DetachRolePolicy",
|
|
"iam:GetInstanceProfile",
|
|
"iam:GetPolicy",
|
|
"iam:GetPolicyVersion",
|
|
"iam:GetRole",
|
|
"iam:ListAttachedRolePolicies",
|
|
"iam:ListInstanceProfilesForRole",
|
|
"iam:ListPolicyVersions",
|
|
"iam:ListRolePolicies",
|
|
"iam:PassRole",
|
|
"iam:RemoveRoleFromInstanceProfile",
|
|
"sts:GetCallerIdentity"
|
|
],
|
|
"Resource": "*"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The built-in `AdministratorAccess` policy is a superset of these permissions.
|
|
|
|
To [create a Constellation cluster](../workflows/create.md), see the permissions of [main.tf](https://github.com/edgelesssys/constellation/blob/main/terraform/infrastructure/iam/aws/main.tf).
|
|
|
|
The built-in `PowerUserAccess` policy is a superset of these permissions.
|
|
|
|
Follow Amazon's guide on [understanding](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies.html) and [managing policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies_managed-vs-inline.html).
|

* `Microsoft.Compute`
|
|
* `Microsoft.Insights`
|
|
* `Microsoft.ManagedIdentity`
|
|
* `Microsoft.Network`
|
|
|
|
By default, Constellation tries to register these automatically if they haven't been registered before.
|
|
|
|
To [create the IAM configuration](../workflows/config.md#creating-an-iam-configuration) for Constellation, you need the following permissions:
|
|
|
|
* `*/register/action` \[1]
|
|
* `Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/*`
|
|
* `Microsoft.Authorization/roleDefinitions/*`
|
|
* `Microsoft.ManagedIdentity/userAssignedIdentities/*`
|
|
* `Microsoft.Resources/subscriptions/resourcegroups/*`
|
|
|
|
The built-in `Owner` role is a superset of these permissions.
|
|
|
|
To [create a Constellation cluster](../workflows/create.md), you need the following permissions:
|
|
|
|
* `Microsoft.Attestation/attestationProviders/*`
|
|
* `Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachineScaleSets/*`
|
|
* `Microsoft.Insights/components/*`

|
* `Microsoft.Network/publicIPAddresses/*`
|
|
* `Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/*`
|
|
* `Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/subnets/*`
|
|
* `Microsoft.Network/natGateways/*`
|
|
|
|
The built-in `Contributor` role is a superset of these permissions.
|
|
|
|
Follow Microsoft's guide on [understanding](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/role-definitions) and [assigning roles](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/role-assignments).
|
|
|
|
1: You can omit `*/register/Action` if the resource providers mentioned above are already registered and the `ARM_SKIP_PROVIDER_REGISTRATION` environment variable is set to `true` when creating the IAM configuration.

Constellation on STACKIT requires a User Access Token (UAT) for the OpenStack API and a STACKIT service account.
|
|
The UAT already has all required permissions by default.
|
|
The STACKIT service account needs the `editor` role to create STACKIT LoadBalancers.
|
|
Look at the [STACKIT documentation](https://docs.stackit.cloud/stackit/en/getting-started-in-service-accounts-134415831.html) on how to create the service account and assign the role.

### Authentication
|
|
|
|
You need to authenticate with your CSP. The following lists the required steps for *testing* and *production* environments.
|
|
|
|
:::note
|
|
The steps for a *testing* environment are simpler. However, they may expose secrets to the CSP. If in doubt, follow the *production* steps.

|
|
**Testing**
|
|
|
|
You can use the [Google Cloud Shell](https://cloud.google.com/shell). Make sure your [session is authorized](https://cloud.google.com/shell/docs/auth). For example, execute `gsutil` and accept the authorization prompt.
|
|
|
|
**Production**
|
|
|
|
Use one of the following options on a trusted machine:
|
|

|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
gcloud auth application-default login
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will ask you to log-in to your Google account and create your credentials.
|
|
The Constellation CLI will automatically load these credentials when needed.
|
|
|
|
* Set up a service account and pass the credentials manually
|
|
|
|
Follow [Google's guide](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/production#manually) for setting up your credentials.
