Managed Registries

Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR)

You must create an IAM OIDC identity provider for your cluster:

eksctl utils associate-iam-oidc-provider \
  --cluster <cluster_name> \
  --approve

Assuming that the operator is installed in the <starboard_operator_namespace> namespace you can override the existing starboard-operator service account and attach the IAM policy to grant it permission to pull images from the ECR:

eksctl create iamserviceaccount \
  --name starboard-operator \
  --namespace <starboard_operator_namespace> \
  --cluster <cluster_name> \
  --attach-policy-arn arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonEC2ContainerRegistryReadOnly \
  --approve \
  --override-existing-serviceaccounts

Azure Container Registry (ACR)

Before you can start, you need to install aad-pod-identity inside your cluster, see installation instructions: https://azure.github.io/aad-pod-identity/docs/getting-started/installation/

Create a managed identity and assign the permission to the ACR. 

export IDENTITY_NAME=starboard-identity
export AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP=<my_resource_group>
export AZURE_LOCATION=westeurope
export ACR_NAME=<my_azure_container_registry>

az identity create --name ${IDENTITY_NAME} --resource-group ${AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP} --location ${AZURE_LOCATION}

export IDENTITY_ID=(az identity show --name ${IDENTITY_NAME} --resource-group ${AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP} --query id -o tsv)
export IDENTITY_CLIENT_ID=$(az identity show --name ${IDENTITY_NAME} --resource-group ${AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP} --query clientId -o tsv)
export ACR_ID=$(az acr show --name ${ACR_NAME} --query id -o tsv)

az role assignment create --assignee ${IDENTITY_CLIENT_ID} --role 'AcrPull' --scope ${ACR_ID}

create an AzureIdentity and AzureIdentityBinding resource inside your kubernetes cluster: 

apiVersion: aadpodidentity.k8s.io/v1
kind: AzureIdentity
metadata:
  name: starboard-identity
  namespace: starboard
spec:
  clientID: ${IDENTITY_ID}
  resourceID: ${IDENTITY_CLIENT_ID}
  type: 0


 apiVersion: aadpodidentity.k8s.io/v1
 kind: AzureIdentityBinding
 metadata:
   name: starboard-id-binding
   namespace: starboard
 spec:
   azureIdentity: starboard-identity
   selector: starboard-label

add scanJob.podTemplateLabels to the starboard config map, the value must match the AzureIdentityBinding selector.

kubectl -n starboard edit cm starboard
# Insert scanJob.podTemplateLabels: aadpodidbinding=starboard-label in data block

# validate
starboard config --get scanJob.podTemplateLabels
