Otto Bittner 90b88e1cf9 kms: rename kms to keyservice
In the light of extending our eKMS support it will be helpful
to have a tighter use of the word "KMS".
KMS should refer to the actual component that manages keys.
The keyservice, also called KMS in the constellation code,
does not manage keys itself. It talks to a KMS backend,
which in turn does the actual key management.

Join Service

Implementation for Constellation's node flow to join an existing cluster.

The join service runs on each control-plane node of the Kubernetes cluster. New nodes (at cluster start, or later through autoscaling) send an IssueJoinTicket request to the service over aTLS. The join service verifies the new nodes certificate and attestation statement. If attestation is successful, the new node is supplied with a disk encryption key for its state disk, and a Kubernetes bootstrap token, so it may join the cluster.

Packages

joinproto

Proto definitions for the join service.

internal/server

The server implements gRPC endpoints for joining the cluster and holds the main application logic.

Connections between the join service and joining nodes are secured using aTLS

internal/kms

Implements interaction with Constellation's keyservice. This is needed for fetching data encryption keys for joining nodes.

internal/kubeadm

Implements interaction with the Kubernetes API to create join tokens for new nodes.
