AWS WAF is a web application firewall that lets you monitor the HTTP and HTTPS requests that are forwarded to your protected web application resources.
You can use an Amazon CloudFront to add a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to your {product-title} (ROSA) workloads. Using an external solution protects ROSA resources from experiencing denial of service due to handling the WAF.
[id="prerequisites_{context}"]
== Prerequisites
* xref:../rosa_install_access_delete_clusters/rosa-sts-creating-a-cluster-quickly.adoc#rosa-sts-creating-a-cluster-quickly[A ROSA Classic cluster].
* You have access to the OpenShift CLI (`oc`).
* You have access to the AWS CLI (`aws`).
[id="environment-setup_{context}"]
=== Environment setup
* Prepare the environment variables:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ export AWS_PAGER=""
$ export CLUSTER_NAME=$(oc get infrastructure cluster -o=jsonpath="{.status.infrastructureName}" | sed 's/-[a-z0-9]\{5\}$//')
$ export REGION=$(oc get infrastructure cluster -o=jsonpath="{.status.platformStatus.aws.region}")
$ export AWS_ACCOUNT_ID=$(aws sts get-caller-identity --query Account --output text)
$ export SCRATCH="/tmp/${CLUSTER_NAME}/cloudfront-waf"
$ mkdir -p ${SCRATCH}
$ echo "Cluster: ${CLUSTER_NAME}, Region: ${REGION}, AWS Account ID: ${AWS_ACCOUNT_ID}"
----
[id="custom_domain_setup{context}"]
== Custom domain setup
It is necessary to configure a secondary ingress controller to segment your external WAF-protected traffic from your standard (and default) cluster ingress controller. In ROSA, we do this using the Custom Domain Operator.
.Prerequisites
* A unique domain, such as `*.apps.<company_name>.io`
* A custom SAN or wildcard certificate, such as `CN=*.apps.<company_name>.io`
.Procedure
. Create a new project
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ oc new-project waf-demo
----
. Create a new TLS secret from a private key and a public certificate, where `fullchain.pem` is your full wildcard certificate chain (including any intermediaries) and `privkey.pem` is your wildcard certificate's private key.
+
.Example
[source,terminal]
----
$ oc -n waf-demo create secret tls waf-tls --cert=fullchain.pem --key=privkey.pem
----
. Create a new `CustomDomain` custom resource (CR):
+
.Example `waf-custom-domain.yaml`
[source,yaml]
----
apiVersion: managed.openshift.io/v1alpha1
kind: CustomDomain
metadata:
name: cloudfront-waf
spec:
domain: apps.<company_name>.io <1>
scope: External
loadBalancerType: NLB
certificate:
name: waf-tls
namespace: waf-demo
routeSelector: <2>
matchLabels:
route: waf
----
<1> The custom domain.
<2> Filters the set of routes serviced by the CustomDomain ingress. In this tutorial, we will use the `waf` route selector, but if no value was to be provided, no filtering would occur.
. Apply the CR:
+
.Example
[source,terminal]
----
$ oc apply -f waf-custom-domain.yaml
----
. Verify that your custom domain ingress controller has been deployed and is `Ready`:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ oc get customdomains
----
+
.Example output
[source,terminal]
----
NAME ENDPOINT DOMAIN STATUS
cloudfront-waf xxrywp.<company_name>.cluster-01.opln.s1.openshiftapps.com *.apps.<company_name>.io Ready
----
[id="configure-aws-waf_{context}"]
=== Configure the AWS WAF
The link:https://aws.amazon.com/waf/[AWS WAF] service is a web application firewall that lets you monitor, protect, and control the HTTP and HTTPS requests that are forwarded to your protected web application resources, like ROSA.
. Create a AWS WAF rules file to apply to our web ACL:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ cat << EOF > ${SCRATCH}/waf-rules.json
[
{
"Name": "AWS-AWSManagedRulesCommonRuleSet",
"Priority": 0,
"Statement": {
"ManagedRuleGroupStatement": {
"VendorName": "AWS",
"Name": "AWSManagedRulesCommonRuleSet"
}
},
"OverrideAction": {
"None": {}
},
"VisibilityConfig": {
"SampledRequestsEnabled": true,
"CloudWatchMetricsEnabled": true,
"MetricName": "AWS-AWSManagedRulesCommonRuleSet"
}
},
{
"Name": "AWS-AWSManagedRulesSQLiRuleSet",
"Priority": 1,
"Statement": {
"ManagedRuleGroupStatement": {
"VendorName": "AWS",
"Name": "AWSManagedRulesSQLiRuleSet"
}
},
"OverrideAction": {
"None": {}
},
"VisibilityConfig": {
"SampledRequestsEnabled": true,
"CloudWatchMetricsEnabled": true,
"MetricName": "AWS-AWSManagedRulesSQLiRuleSet"
}
}
]
EOF
----
+
This will enable the Core (Common) and SQL AWS Managed Rule Sets.
+
. Create an AWS WAF Web ACL using the rules we specified above:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ WAF_WACL=$(aws wafv2 create-web-acl \
--name cloudfront-waf \
--region ${REGION} \
--default-action Allow={} \
--scope CLOUDFRONT \
--visibility-config SampledRequestsEnabled=true,CloudWatchMetricsEnabled=true,MetricName=${CLUSTER_NAME}-waf-metrics \
--rules file://${SCRATCH}/waf-rules.json \
--query 'Summary.Name' \
--output text)
----
[id="configure_amazon_cloudfront_{context}"]
== Configure Amazon CloudFront
. Retrieve the newly created custom domain ingress controller's NLB hostname:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ NLB=$(oc -n openshift-ingress get service router-cloudfront-waf \
-o jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].hostname}')
$ echo "Origin domain: ${NLB}"
----
. Import your certificate into Amazon Certificate Manager, where `cert.pem` is your wildcard certificate, `fullchain.pem` is your wildcard certificate's chain and `privkey.pem` is your wildcard certificates private key.
+
[NOTE]
====
Regardless of what region your cluster is deployed, you must import this certificate to `us-east-1` as Amazon CloudFront is a global AWS service.
====
+
.Example
[source,terminal]
----
$ aws acm import-certificate --certificate file://cert.pem \
--certificate-chain file://fullchain.pem \
--private-key file://privkey.pem \
--region us-east-1
----
. Log into the link:https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/v3/home#/distributions/create[AWS console] to create a CloudFront distribution.
+
. Configure the CloudFront distribution by using the following information:
+
[NOTE]
====
If an option is not specified in the table below, leave them the default (which may be blank).

1. Run `echo ${NLB}` to get the origin domain.
2. If you have multiple clusters, ensure the origin name is unique.
3. This should match the wildcard domain you used to create the custom domain ingress controller.
4. This should match the alternate domain name entered above.
--
+
. Retrieve the Amazon CloudFront Distribution endpoint:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ aws cloudfront list-distributions --query "DistributionList.Items[?Origins.Items[?DomainName=='${NLB}']].DomainName" --output text
----
. Update the DNS of your custom wildcard domain with a CNAME to the Amazon CloudFront Distribution endpoint from the step above.
+
.Example
[source,text]
----
*.apps.<company_name>.io CNAME d1b2c3d4e5f6g7.cloudfront.net
----
[id="deploy-sample-application_{context}"]
== Deploy a sample application
. Deploy a hello world application:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ oc -n waf-demo new-app --image=docker.io/openshift/hello-openshift
----
+
. Create a route for the application specifying your custom domain name:
+
.Example
[source,terminal]
----
$ oc -n waf-demo create route edge --service=hello-openshift hello-openshift-tls \
--hostname hello-openshift.apps.<company_name>.io
----
+
. Label the route to admit it to your custom domain ingress controller:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ oc -n waf-demo label route.route.openshift.io/hello-openshift-tls route=waf
----
[id="test-waf_{context}"]
== Test the WAF
. Test that the app is accessible behind Amazon CloudFront:
+
.Example
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ curl "https://hello-openshift.apps.<company_name>.io"
----
+
.Example output
[source,text]
----
Hello OpenShift!
----
. Test that the WAF denies a bad request:
+
.Example
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ curl -X POST "https://hello-openshift.apps.<company_name>.io" \
-F "user='<script><alert>Hello></alert></script>'"
----
+
.Example output
+
[source,text]
----
<html>
<head><title>403 Forbidden</title></head>
<body>
<center><h1>403 Forbidden</h1></center>
</body>
</html
----
+
The expected result is a `403 Forbidden` error, which means the AWS WAF is protecting your application.
