Validation of Product Infra before Application Install ‎  

• Az MYSQL Firewall policies 

• Public network access should be denied. 
• Allow access to Azure MySQL by configuring firewall policies 
• Enforce SSL connection should be Enabled 
  ‎  

Key vault permissions for the Azure AD user. ‎

• Access to key vault can be enabled by configuring Key Vault access policies. 
• Before proceeding with deployment, we need to validate  

• Access is enabled for Disk Encryption 
• Permission model set as Vault access policy 
• Respective applications and resources are added with required access under APPLICATION section

   

   

• Azure service principal needs Get permission to Key Vault secrets. 

• Disk Encryption set, storage account, Azure MySQL instance needs GET, Wrap and Unwrap Key permissions. Please refer below example for disk encryption set.

   

  

• User’s access can be enabled by Adding users with required set of permission to access key, secret and certificate which is listed under USER section  

Private Endpoint’s IP associations 
‎

• we have 4 private endpoints per environment. For these 4 private endpoints, we have 3 private DNZ zones. One private zone per Azure blob, Azure Key Vault and Azure MySQL instances.  
• There should be a private IP against each of these services. If this private IP is not associated to the respective private endpoints, application deployments will fail as the K8s cluster will not be able to communicate with these private endpoints.  We must manually add it via Azure portal, if found not associated.  
  ‎  
• PFB screenshots for reference 

Key Vault Private Endpoint and its Private IP 

Above Key Vault’s Private IP associated with respective Private Link of Key Vault

‎

Please refer below screenshot when private endpoint’s IP is not associated with the private link.  

• When private endpoint IPs are not listed, include the same by adding record set of respective resource.  

• When adding new record set, update the instance name in Name field and add the private endpoint IP in the IP Address field.  

If the record set is present but the IP is not associated, then Click the record set (Here Azure Key Vault - kv-platform-stg01)

•  Update the Private IP in the ‘IP address’ field  

Node pools’ zone redundancy  

• Note: GPU pools does not have zone redundancy enabled since it is not supported in AKS.  

Prepare the bastion VM  ‎ 

Install Tools: script to install prerequisite packages in bastion VM 
‎

•  cd <package_path>/kubernetes/azure-setup/scripts 
  ‎

  

  
  ‎

• Set execution permission  

• Execute Shell script 

Connect to cluster (Kube config configured)  

• Select the Kubernetes cluster  
  ‎  
• Click ‘connect’ and follow the command provided in Azure portal 

• Please find below screenshots of the commands for reference on how to connect the Kubernetes cluster from Bastion VM.   

Pre-Check condition:  Please check Python 3.6 is installed in the bastion VM. [ SmartInstall runs on Python 3.6] 

• Python 3.6 installation link reference 
• Ubuntu 18.04 comes with Python 3.6 as default.  

Application Install  

Setting secrets in Azure Key Vault.  

• Before starting the deployment, we must set secrets in Azure Key Vault using create-az-kv-secrets.sh script in kv-init folder with the updated values with respect to the product infrastructure created.  

• < Include kv init sc in package >  
  ‎  

• Before executing the create-az-kv-secrets.sh script, respective access policies must be set for the key vault for the Azure AD user.  
  ‎  

• Before executing the create-az-kv-secrets.sh script, Key Vault’s firewall policies should be allowed access from All networks. Please refer below screenshot. 

• < Note : As an alternate White list the IP through f/w policy or just allow all n/w > 

• Execute secret creation script against the Key Vault  

Azure Login from bastion VM 

Once Signed in successfully, there will be message in the browser like below 

• Set the Subscription by below command

   az account set - -subscription <sunscription_id>  

   

• After updating the create-az-kv-secrets.sh with latest values with respect to the product infrastructure, execute the script with using below syntax 

• • • <subscription_id> - Azure subscription id to which product is getting deployed
    • <key_vault_name> – Name of Azure keyvault for the product
    • <key_vault_name – Kubernetes namespace name of the product. Usually this will be <productname>-<envname> Eg: smartopsv1-prd01

• On Successful completion, all the required secrets will get be created in Azure Key Vault instance.  
  ‎
• Once the script is executed successfully and validated the secrets created, switch back Key Vault’s firewall policy from ‘All networks’ to ‘Private endpoint and selected networks’ and save the change. Please refer below screenshot.

Steps for Database Validation of Data counts after restore process

Verify Mysql Table Counts.

Following query can be used for Mysql validation to fetch table counts from current production environment.Execute the query by logging in existing production environment.

SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA ,table_name, table_rows FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES

The mysql table data information is printed in Smart-Recovery logs as in below screenshots in restored environement

Verify Minio Table counts

Login to azure portal and open backup storage account.(eg: sasinvoiceextbackupdrn01)

Open Storage expolorer and move to the back up container. Calculate the blob count in buckets available in minio-data-backup folder,by clickin gon folder statistics as in below screen shot

The blob count will be displayed as in below screen shot

Once restore process completed successfully for minio as mentioned in restore process completion, the file count for minio can be validated in storage account for App file Store.

Enable all networks for appfile store.

Validate the count of buckets restored from backup by clicking the folder properties

Set the Networking setting back to “Selected Networks” once the validation completes

How to monitor the deployments. (k9s)

Creating Keys in Azure Key Vault for Data Encryption 

For enabling Data Encryption for Azure MySQL, Storage Accounts and enabling Disk Encryption for Volumes in Kubernetes cluster, we need to create Encryption keys in Azure Key vault which is used to encrypt the data.  
‎  

• Select the key vault and click ‘Keys’

  

   

• Click ‘Generate/Import’

   

  

   

   

• Set a Key name and click ‘Create’. Key Type and Key Size can be set with the default values unless there is a specific requirement.

Data Encryption of Azure Database for MySQL with a customer-managed key 

References:  
‎ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/mysql/howto-data-encryption-portal 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/mysql/concepts-data-encryption-mysql 

• Data Encryption of Azure MySQL instance is done at server level using CMK ( customer-managed key) 

• Key Terminologies  

Key Encryption Key [ KEK ] 

• Stored in Azure Key Vault 

• KEK is used to encrypt Data Encryption Key 

Data Encryption Key [ DEK ] 

Symmetric key used to encrypt a block of data 

• DEK, encrypted with KEK are stored separately 

• MySQL server needs below permissions on Azure Key Vault 

• get 

• wrapKey 

• UnwrapKey 

• Key Vault and Azure Database for MySQL must belong to same Azure AD 

• Enable soft delete feature on Key Vault instance 

• Key must be in ‘Enabled’ state 

• When keys are imported, only .pfx, .byok, .backup file formats are supported  

• If key vault generates the key, create a key backup before using for the first time.  

• Backup Azure Key Vault Key Reference 

When you configure data encryption with a customer-managed key in Key Vault, continuous access to this key is required for the server to stay online. If the server loses access to the customer-managed key in Key Vault, the server begins denying all connections within 10 minutes. The server issues a corresponding error message and changes the server state to  Inaccessible. Some of the reason why the server can reach this state are: 
‎  

• If we create a Point in Time Restore server for your Azure Database for MySQL, which has data encryption enabled, the newly created server will be in Inaccessible state. You can fix this through  Azure portal or CLI. 

• If we create a read replica for your Azure Database for MySQL, which has data encryption enabled, the replica server will be in Inaccessible state. You can fix this through  Azure portal or CLI. 

• If you delete the Key Vault, the Azure Database for MySQL will be unable to access the key and will move to Inaccessible state. Recover the Key Vault and revalidate the data encryption to make the server Available. 

• If we delete the key from the Key Vault, the Azure Database for MySQL will be unable to access the key and will move to Inaccessible state. Recover the Key and revalidate the data encryption to make the server Available. 

• If the key stored in the Azure Key Vault expires, the key will become invalid and the Azure Database for MySQL will transition into Inaccessible state. Extend the key expiry date using  CLI and then revalidate the data encryption to make the server Available . 

Limitations 

• Support for this functionality is limited to General Purpose and Memory Optimized pricing tiers. 

• This feature is only supported in regions and servers which support storage up to 16TB. For the list of Azure regions supporting storage up to 16TB, refer to the storage section in documentation here 

• Encryption is only supported with RSA 2048 cryptographic key. 

Steps 

• Create Azure Database for MySQL instance. PFB a sample screenshot for the confgurations.  

• Click Data Encryption on the ‘Security’ section and click ‘Yes’ for ‘Use customer managed key’

   

• After clicking ‘Yes’ for CMK. Select Key Vault and Key created in Azure Key Vault instance 

• Click Save 

• Restart Azure Database for MySQL 

 
‎ Errors Observed while configuring  

If soft –delete is not enabled for keyvault , will get error like below  

• The above issue has been resolved when new keyvault instance created with soft delete enabled and enabling purge protection after key vault creation. 
  ‎   

• PFB screenshot after configuring CMK for enabling Data Encryption.
