Monitor Cloud IAP Setup

Instructions for monitoring and troubleshooting Cloud IAP

Cloud Identity-Aware Proxy (Cloud IAP) isthe recommended solution for accessing your Kubeflowdeployment from outside the cluster, when running Kubeflow on Google CloudPlatform (GCP).

This document is a step-by-step guide to ensuring that your IAP-secured endpointis available, and to debugging problems that may cause the endpoint to beunavailable.

Introduction

When deploying Kubeflow using the deployment UIor the command-line interface,you choose the authentication method you want to use. One of the options isCloud IAP. This document assumes that you have already deployed Kubeflow.

Kubeflow uses the Google-managed certificateto provide an SSL certificate for the Kubeflow Ingress.

Cloud IAP gives you the following benefits:

Users can log in in using their GCP accounts.
You benefit from Google’s security expertise to protect your sensitiveworkloads.

Monitoring your Cloud IAP setup

Follow these instructions to monitor your Cloud IAP setup and troubleshoot anyproblems:

Examine theIngressand Google Cloud Build (GCB) load balancer to make sure it is available:

 kubectl -n istio-system describe ingress
 Name:             envoy-ingress
 Namespace:        kubeflow
 Address:          35.244.132.160
 Default backend:  default-http-backend:80 (10.20.0.10:8080)
 Annotations:
 ...
 Events:
    Type     Reason     Age                 From                     Message
    ----     ------     ----                ----                     -------
    Normal   ADD        12m                 loadbalancer-controller  kubeflow/envoy-ingress
    Warning  Translate  12m (x10 over 12m)  loadbalancer-controller  error while evaluating the ingress spec: could not find service "kubeflow/envoy"
    Warning  Translate  12m (x2 over 12m)   loadbalancer-controller  error while evaluating the ingress spec: error getting BackendConfig for port "8080" on service "kubeflow/envoy", err: no BackendConfig for service port exists.
    Warning  Sync       12m                 loadbalancer-controller  Error during sync: Error running backend syncing routine: received errors when updating backend service: googleapi: Error 400: The resource 'projects/code-search-demo/global/backendServices/k8s-be-32230--bee2fc38fcd6383f' is not ready, resourceNotReady
  googleapi: Error 400: The resource 'projects/code-search-demo/global/backendServices/k8s-be-32230--bee2fc38fcd6383f' is not ready, resourceNotReady
    Normal  CREATE  11m  loadbalancer-controller  ip: 35.244.132.160
 ...

There should be an annotation indicating that we are using managed certificate:

annotation:
  networking.gke.io/managed-certificates: gke-certificate

Any problems with creating the load balancer are reported as Kubernetesevents in the results of the above describe command.

If the address isn’t set then there was a problem creating the loadbalancer.
The CREATE event indicates the load balancer was successfullycreated on the specified IP address.
The most common error is running out of GCP quota. To fix this problem,you must either increase the quota for the relevant resource on your GCPproject or delete some existing resources.

Verify that a managed certificate resource is generated:

 kubectl describe -n istio-system managedcertificate gke-certificate

The status field should have information about the current status of the Certificate. Eventually, certificate status should be Active.

Wait for the load balancer to report the back ends as healthy:

 kubectl describe -n istio-system ingress envoy-ingress
 ...
 Annotations:
  kubernetes.io/ingress.global-static-ip-name:  kubeflow-ip
  kubernetes.io/tls-acme:                       true
  certmanager.k8s.io/issuer:                    letsencrypt-prod
  ingress.kubernetes.io/backends:               {"k8s-be-31380--5e1566252944dfdb":"HEALTHY","k8s-be-32133--5e1566252944dfdb":"HEALTHY"}
 ...

Both backends should be reported as healthy.It can take several minutes for the load balancer to consider the back endshealthy.

The service with port 31380 is the one that handles Kubeflowtraffic. (31380 is the default port of the service istio-ingressgateway.)

If the backend is unhealthy, check the pods in istio-system:

kubectl get pods -n istio-system
The istio-ingressgateway-XX pods should be running
Check the logs of pod backend-updater-0, iap-enabler-XX to see if there is any error
Follow the steps here to check the load balancer and backend service on GCP.
- Try accessing Cloud IAP at the fully qualified domain name in your webbrowser:

https://<your-fully-qualified-domain-name>

If you get SSL errors when you log in, this typically means that your SSLcertificate is still propagating. Wait a few minutes and try again. SSLpropagation can take up to 10 minutes.

If you do not see a login prompt and you get a 404 error, the configurationof Cloud IAP is not yet complete. Keep retrying for up to 10 minutes.

If you get an error Error: redirect_uri_mismatch after logging in, this means the list of OAuth authorized redirect URIs does not include your domain.

The full error message looks like the following example and includes therelevant links:

The redirect URI in the request, https://mykubeflow.endpoints.myproject.cloud.goog/_gcp_gatekeeper/authenticate, does not match the ones authorized for the OAuth client.   
To update the authorized redirect URIs, visit: https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials/oauthclient/22222222222-7meeee7a9a76jvg54j0g2lv8lrsb4l8g.apps.googleusercontent.com?project=22222222222

Follow the link in the error message to find the OAuth credential being usedand add the redirect URI listed in the error message to the list ofauthorized URIs. For more information, read the guide tosetting up OAuth for Cloud IAP.
