# Introduction to Datree
<a href="https://youtu.be/aqiOyXPPadk" title="Kubernetes"><img src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aqiOyXPPadk/hqdefault.jpg" width="20%" alt="Kubernetes Guide" /></a>
## Installation
Best place to start is the [documentation](https://hub.datree.io/)
I like to start all my work inside a docker container. </br>
Let's run a small Alpine linux container
```
docker run -it -v ${PWD}:/work -v ${HOME}/.kube/:/root/.kube/ -w /work --net host alpine sh
```
### Install some dependancies
Let's install `curl` and `unzip` because the installation script uses those. <br/>
We will also install `sudo` since we are running in a container as root and install scripts have `sudo` commands in them.
```
apk add curl unzip bash sudo
```
### Automatic Installation
We can install the latest version of Datree with the command advertised:
```
curl https://get.datree.io | /bin/bash
```
### Manual Installation
Or we can grab a specific version of `datree` on the GitHub releases page. </br>
For example: [1.5.20](https://github.com/datreeio/datree/releases/tag/1.5.20) binary
```
curl -L https://github.com/datreeio/datree/releases/download/1.5.20/datree-cli_1.5.20_Linux_x86_64.zip -o /tmp/datree.zip
unzip /tmp/datree.zip -d /tmp && \
chmod +x /tmp/datree && \
mv /tmp/datree /usr/local/bin/datree
```
Now we can run the `datree` command:
```
datree
Datree is a static code analysis tool for kubernetes files. Full code can be found at https://github.com/datreeio/datree

Use "datree [command] --help" for more information about a command.
```
## Testing Kubernetes Manifests
We have a number of Kubernetes manifests in this repo. </br>
Datree does a few things for us: </br>
* YAML validation ( Is this YAML well formatted ? )
* Schema validation. ( Is this a Kubernetes YAML file ? For the right version ? )
* Policy checks ( Checks YAML to ensure good practises are followed )
</br>
Let's test my example manifests under our datree folder `kubernetes\datree\example`
### YAML validation
If we break the YAML file format, we can detect that with the YAML validation feature
```
datree test ./kubernetes/datree/example/deployment.yaml
```
### Policy checks
When we fix our YAML file, notice if we run `datree test` again, we get some policy checks failing
```
datree test ./kubernetes/datree/example/deployment.yaml
```
Let's test some other types of Kubernetes objects
```
datree test ./kubernetes/services/service.yaml
datree test ./kubernetes/configmaps/configmap.yaml
datree test ./kubernetes/statefulsets/statefulset.yaml
datree test ./kubernetes/ingress/ingress.yaml
```
### Schema validation
Datree can also check if our YAML matches the target Kubernetes version schema.
For example, our Ingress YAML is a newer version of Kubernetes
```
datree test --schema-version 1.14.0 ./kubernetes/ingress/ingress-nginx-example.yaml
datree test --schema-version 1.19.0 ./kubernetes/ingress/ingress-nginx-example.yaml
```
We can also test a directory of YAML files and include `*` wildcard in your scans. </br>
Let's test my latest Kubernetes tutorial that contains a Wordpress + MySQL + Ingress setup:
```
datree test kubernetes/tutorials/basics/yaml/*.y*ml
```
# Policies
Now if we take a look at the CLI output of `datree` we notice a link in the Summary output. </br>
The URL is in the form of `https://app.datree.io/login?t=<token>` </br>
```
(Summary)
- Passing YAML validation: 4/4
- Passing Kubernetes (1.20.0) schema validation: 4/4
- Passing policy check: 2/4
+-----------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
| Enabled rules in policy "Default" | 21 |
| Configs tested against policy | 5 |
| Total rules evaluated | 84 |
| Total rules skipped | 0 |
| Total rules failed | 14 |
| Total rules passed | 70 |
| See all rules in policy | https://app.datree.io/login?t=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |
+-----------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
```
We can use this URL to access the Datree UI to get a view of the policy management screens </br>
Checkout the link to access the UI which helps us manage our policies. </br>
## Policy examples
One of the key features about policies is that we can apply rule sets for specific environments. </br>
Perhaps you have a development environment where policies are a little loose and a staging server that has tighter restrictions to match production, or even a regulated environment that has very tight controls. </br>
We can use the Datree UI to create policies with different sets of rules. </br>
We can then tell `datree` about the policy we want it to test against:
```
datree test kubernetes/datree/example/deployment.yaml -p production
```
For a new policy, we notice that 0 rules are enabled, so now we have the flexibility to set up the rules we want to protect this environment. </br>
## Helm
What if I don't use `kubectl` and use `helm` instead ? </br>
Let's install `helm` in our container </br>
```
apk add tar git
curl -L https://get.helm.sh/helm-v3.5.4-linux-amd64.tar.gz -o /tmp/helm.tar.gz && \
tar -xzf /tmp/helm.tar.gz -C /tmp && \
chmod +x /tmp/linux-amd64/helm && \
mv /tmp/linux-amd64/helm /usr/local/bin/helm
```
Let's install the `helm` plugin for `datree` <br/>
```
helm plugin install https://github.com/datreeio/helm-datree
```
Now we can test a `helm` chart we have in our repo from my `helm` tutorial </br>
```
cd kubernetes/helm
helm datree test example-app \
-- --values ./example-app/example-app-01.values.yaml
```
## Kustomize
What if I don't use `helm` and use `kustomize` instead ? <br/>
Datree has out the box built-in `kustomize` support <br/>
Let's test our `kustomize` template from a video I did on `kustomize`
```
datree kustomize test .\kubernetes\kustomize\application\
```
# CI/CD examples
We can even run datree in GitHub Actions and various [CI/CD integrations](https://hub.datree.io/cicd-examples). </br>
# Admission Controller
So far, `datree` helps us detect misconfigurations on our local machine as well as at our CI level. </br>
But what about the things that don't flow via our CI ? </br>
When folks deploy stuff directly to our clusters via `kubectl` or `helm`. </br>
Datree now allows us to not only detect but prevent misconfigurations being applied using a new admission controller feature. </br>
The admission controller is available [here](https://github.com/datreeio/admission-webhook-datree)
## Create a Kubernetes cluster
Let's start by creating a local `kind` [cluster](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/)
Note that we create a Kubernetes 1.23 cluster. </br>
So we want to use `datree` to validate and ensure our manifests comply with that version of Kubernetes. <br/>
```
kind create cluster --name datree --image kindest/node:v1.23.6
```
Let's also grab `kubectl`:
```
curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/v1.23.6/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl
chmod +x ./kubectl
mv ./kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
```
We'll need a `datree` token so our admission controller can read our policies
```
export DATREE_TOKEN=[your-token]
```
## Installation
I will need some dependencies since I am running in a lightweight `alpine` container. </br>
OpenSSL is needed by the webhook install to generate certificates. </br>
```
apk add openssl
```
Let's grab the `datree` manifests
```
curl -L https://get.datree.io/admission-webhook -o datree.sh
chmod +x datree.sh
bash datree.sh
```
With the admission controller now deployed, `datree` will validate things coming into the cluster. <br/>
For example, if we bypass our CI/CD, `datree` will catch our deployment and run our policy checks
I have a separate example deployment in our datree folder that we can play with:
```
kubectl apply -f kubernetes/datree/example/deployment.yaml
```
Output:
```
kubectl apply -f kubernetes/deployments/deployment.yaml
Error from server: error when creating "kubernetes/deployments/deployment.yaml": admission webhook "webhook-server.datree.svc" denied the request:
---
webhook-example-deploy-Deployment.tmp.yaml
[V] YAML validation
[V] Kubernetes schema validation
[X] Policy check
❌ Ensure each container has a configured liveness probe [1 occurrence]
- metadata.name: example-deploy (kind: Deployment)
💡 Missing property object `livenessProbe` - add a properly configured livenessProbe to catch possible deadlocks
❌ Ensure each container has a configured readiness probe [1 occurrence]
- metadata.name: example-deploy (kind: Deployment)
💡 Missing property object `readinessProbe` - add a properly configured readinessProbe to notify kubelet your Pods are ready for traffic
❌ Prevent workload from using the default namespace [1 occurrence]
- metadata.name: example-deploy (kind: Deployment)
💡 Incorrect value for key `namespace` - use an explicit namespace instead of the default one (`default`)
(Summary)
- Passing YAML validation: 1/1
- Passing Kubernetes (v1.23.6) schema validation: 1/1
- Passing policy check: 0/1
+-----------------------------------+-----------------------+
| Enabled rules in policy "Default" | 21 |
| Configs tested against policy | 1 |
| Total rules evaluated | 21 |
| Total rules skipped | 0 |
| Total rules failed | 3 |
| Total rules passed | 18 |
| See all rules in policy | https://app.datree.io |
+-----------------------------------+-----------------------+
```
Now to get this deployment fixed up, let's go ahead and comply to some of the policies </br>
Under the `deployment.yaml` I have included a `livenessProbe` as well as a `readinessProbe` </br>
Let's add those in. </br>
And finally we need to also add CPU and Memory requests and limit values. </br>
The last one is simple. We should avoid using the default namespace. So I will create an `example` namespace where I will keep all example apps.
```
kubectl create ns examples
```
And finally we can deploy our resource, and specify a namespace:
```
kubectl apply -n examples -f kubernetes/datree/example/deployment.yaml
deployment.apps/example-deploy created
```
## Kubectl
But what about resources already in your cluster ? </br>
Datree covers this with their `kubectl` plugin.
We can grab the install script right off the [GitHub Release](https://github.com/datreeio/kubectl-datree/releases) page. </br>
For this demo I'll grab the `v0.11` version </br>
Installation:
```
curl -L https://github.com/datreeio/kubectl-datree/releases/download/v0.1.1/manual_install.sh -o /tmp/kubectl-plugin.sh
chmod +x /tmp/kubectl-plugin.sh
bash /tmp/kubectl-plugin.sh
```
Now we have datree inside `kubectl` and can perform checks in our cluster. </br>
We can check our entire namespace now, which should be pretty clean:
```
kubectl datree test -- --namespace examples
Fetching resources, this may take some time depending on the amount of resources in your cluster...
(Summary)
- Passing YAML validation: 1/1
- Passing Kubernetes (1.24.2) schema validation: 1/1
- Passing policy check: 1/1
