Restricting a user to view only specific S3 Buckets

                          Today I came across a situation to implement vooplayer along with aws s3 bucket for uploading videos to the s3 bucket. The issue is that for integrating the voopler the IAM user should  needs  s3 admin permissions as the vooplayer itself will create an s3 bucket during the integration, name starting with "vooplayerv4-". The issue with this is that the user have access to all the buckets and its contents. So to restrict access for this user only to the bucket which belongs to him I have created a policy with the help of AWS support and sharing the same below:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:*"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::vooplayerv4-*",
                "arn:aws:s3:::vooplayerv4-*/*"
            ]
        },
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor1",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
                "s3:HeadBucket",
                "s3:CreateBucket",
                "s3:GetBucketLocation"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

After creating this policy , attached the same to a user and integrated the Vooplayer with the Access key id and secret access key of this user, which restrict the viewing of contents of buckets for only the
 bucket starting with "vooplayerv4-" and for the rest it will show an access denied error.

That is all,
Cheers.

K8s External Secrets integration between AWS EKS and Secrets Manager(SM) using IAM Role.

What is K8s External Secrets and how it will make your life easier? Before saying about External Secrets we will say about k8s secrets and how it will work. In k8s secrets we will create key value pairs of the secrets and set this as either pod env variables or mount them as volumes to pods. For more details about k8s secrets you can check my blog http://jinojoseph.blogspot.com/2020/08/k8s-secrets-explained.html   So in this case if developers wants to change the ENV variables , then we have to edit the k8s manifest yaml file, then we have to apply the new files to the deployment. This is a tiresome process and also chances of applying to the wrong context is high if you have multiple k8s clusters for dev / stage and Prod deployments. So in-order to make this easy , we can add all the secrets that is needed in the deployment, in the AWS Secret Manager and with the help of External secrets we can fetch and create those secrets in the k8s cluster. So what is K8s external Secret? It i...

Password reset too simplistic/systematic issue

Some time when we try to reset the password of our user in linux it will show as simple and systematic as below: BAD PASSWORD: it is too simplistic/systematic no matter how hard password you give it will show the same. Solution: ######### Check if your password is Ok with the below command, jino@ndz~$ echo 'D7y8HK#56r89lj&8*&^%&^%#56rlKJ!789l' | cracklib-check D7y8HK#56r89lj&8*&^%&^%#56rlKJ!789l: it is too simplistic/systematic Now Create a password with the below command : jino@ndz~$ echo $(tr -dc '[:graph:]' 7\xi%!W[y*S}g-H7W~gbEB4cv,9:E:K; You can see that this password will be ok with the cracklib-check. jino@ndz~$ echo '7\xi%!W[y*S}g-H7W~gbEB4cv,9:E:K;' | cracklib-check                 7\xi%!W[y*S}g-H7W~gbEB4cv,9:E:K;: OK Thats all, Thanks.

Setting /etc/hosts entries during the initial deployment of an Application using k8s yaml file

Some times we have to enter specific hosts file entries to the container running inside the POD of a kubernetes deployment during the initial deployment stage itself. If these entries are not in place, the application env variables mentioned in the yaml file , as hostnames , will not resolve to the IP address and the application will not start properly. So to make sure the /etc/hosts file entries are already there after the spin up of the POD you can add the below entries in your yaml file. cat > api-deployment.yaml apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment metadata: spec:   template:     metadata:     spec:       volumes:       containers:       - image: registryserver.jinojoseph.com:5000/jinojosephimage:v1.13         lifecycle:           postStart:             exec:               command:...
