NamespaceSelector

NamespaceSelector selects a set of namespaces across one or more clusters in a tenant. Namespace selectors can be used at Workspace level to carve out a chunk of resources under a tenant into an isolated configuration domain. They can be used in a Traffic, Security, or a Gateway group to further scope the set of namespaces that will belong to a specific configuration group. Names in namespaces selector must be in the form cluster/namespace where:

• cluster must be a cluster name or an * to mean all clusters
• namespace must be a namespace name, an * to mean all namespaces or a prefix like ns-* to mean all those namespaces starting by ns-

PropagationStrategy

The PropagationStrategy is the key differentiating factor to decide how a security policy should be propagated and applied at runtime across clusters. The default propagation strategy is REPLACE, in which a lower level SecuritySetting in the configuration hierarchy replaces a higher level SecuritySetting. The STRICTER PropagationStrategy on the other hand makes sure the default SecuritySettings configured at the parent level are always enforced and propagated down the hierarchy unless additional SecuritySettings are defined and restricted further in the configuration hierarchy.

• REPLACE should be used when resources in the hierarchy are allowed to override the default settings configured at the higher levels.
• STRICTER should be used when the default settings must prevail, and the settings can only be made more restrictive by child resources at lower levels of the hierarchy.

When a resource or property of it affected by the propagation strategy is propagated down the hierarchy, regardless of the defined strategy (REPLACE or STRICTER), a parent defined resource or a property of the resource will be used (propagated) in absence of a child resource or a property of it.

For example, the following policy configures optional mTLS for traffic within the workspace, but it allows SecuritySettings to modify it. The example shows a workspace that configures service-to-service access so that only services in the same workspace can talk to each other. The REPLACE propagation policy allows individual settings to override it. In the example, the SecuritySettings allows services within that group to be reachable from any service in the cluster, regardless for the workspace they belong to, even though the Workspace restricts service-to-service access to only services in the Workspace.

apiVersion: api.tsb.tetrate.io/v2
kind: WorkspaceSetting
metadata:
  name: w1-settings
  workspace: w1
  tenant: mycompany
  organization: myorg

kind: SecuritySetting
metadata:
  name: defaults
  group: t1
  workspace: w1
  tenant: mycompany
  organization: myorg
spec:
  authorization:
    mode: CLUSTER

STRICTER propagation configures defaults that can be only be restricted down the hierarchy. The following example configures the same WorkspaceSetting but with a STRICTER propagation mode. The defaults SecuritySetting further narrows down that access to the GROUP scope, which is allowed because GROUP is more strict than WORKSPACE. However, the defaults-invalid SecuritySetting configures CLUSTER access, which would widen the scope defined at the Workspace. That settings will not be allowed based on the STRICTER propagation policy.

Further details of how security settings are resolved between in STRICTER mode between a parent and a child resource can be found in the SecuritySettings reference.

Name	Number	Description
REPLACE	0	Is the default configuration propagation strategy. A lower defined configuration in the hierarchy will replace a higher configuration in the hierarchy. Otherwise, if a lower configuration is not defined, the configuration higher up in the hierarchy will prevail. For instance, a defined default propagation strategy for workspace default security settings will replace tenant's defined default security settings.
STRICTER	1	STRICTER propagation strategy propagates the strictest configuration between a defined higher level and a defined lower level configuration in the hierarchy. If a lower level configuration in the hierarchy is not defined, the higher one will prevail. Which configuration is stricter than the other is defined by each concrete configuration that allows specifying a propagation strategy.

RegionalFailover

Specify the traffic failover policy across regions. Since zone and sub-zone failover is supported by default this only needs to be specified for regions when the operator needs to constrain traffic failover so that the default behavior of failing over to any endpoint globally does not apply. This is useful when failing over traffic across regions would not improve service health or may need to be restricted for other reasons like regulatory controls.

Field	Description	Validation Rule
from	string Originating region.	–
to	string Destination region the traffic will fail over to when endpoints in the 'from' region become unhealthy.	–

TypeInfo

TypeInfo provides metadata describing a message type.

Field	Description	Validation Rule
generatesConfig	bool Indicates that the type has a configuration status and that it will go through several stages after creation until it is fully ready.	–
aggregatesStatus	bool Indicates that the type has its status aggregated from the status of its child resources.	–
dependencies	List of string If not empty, it indicates on what resources it's dependent.	–

WorkloadSelector

WorkloadSelector selects one or more workloads in a namespace. WorkloadSelector can be used in TrafficSetting, SecuritySetting, and Gateway APIs in BRIDGED mode to scope the configuration to a specific set of workloads.

Field	Description	Validation Rule
namespace	string REQUIRED The namespace where the workload resides.	string = {   min_len: 1 }
labels	map<string, string> REQUIRED One or more labels that indicate a specific set of pods/VMs in the namespace. If omitted, the TrafficSetting or SecuritySetting configuration will apply to all workloads in the namespace. Labels are required for Gateway API resources.
