    # Usage
    
    This guide describes the necessary steps to deploy Wazuh on Kubernetes.
    
    ## Pre-requisites
    
    - Kubernetes cluster already deployed.
    - Kubernetes can run on a wide range of Cloud providers and bare-metal environments, this repository focuses on [AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/). It was tested using [Amazon EKS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks). You should be able to:
        - Create Persistent Volumes on top of AWS EBS when using a volumeClaimTemplates
        - Create a record set in AWS Route 53 from a Kubernetes LoadBalancer.
    - Having at least two Kubernetes nodes in order to meet the *podAntiAffinity* policy.
    
    
    ## Overview
    
    ### StateFulSet and Deployments Controllers
    
    Like a Deployment, a StatefulSet manages Pods that are based on an identical container specification, but it maintains an identity attached to each of its pods. These pods are created from the same specification, but they are not interchangeable: each one has a persistent identifier maintained across any rescheduling.
    
    It is useful for stateful applications like databases that save the data to a persistent storage. The states of each Wazuh manager as well as Wazuh indexer are desirable to maintain, so we declare them using StatefulSet to ensure that they maintain their states in every startup.
    
    Deployments are intended for stateless use and are quite lightweight and seem to be appropriate for Wazuh dashboard and Nginx, where it is not necessary to maintain the states.
    
    ### Pods
    
    #### Wazuh master
    
    This pod contains the master node of the Wazuh cluster. The master node centralizes and coordinates worker nodes, making sure the critical and required data is consistent across all nodes.
    The management is performed only in this node, so the agent registration service (authd) and the API are placed here.
    
    Details:
    - Image: Docker Hub 'wazuh/wazuh-manager'
    - Controller: StatefulSet
    
    #### Wazuh worker 0 / 1
    
    These pods contain a worker node of the Wazuh cluster. They will receive the agent events.
    
    Details:
    - Image: Docker Hub 'wazuh/wazuh-manager'
    - Controller: StatefulSet
    
    
    #### Wazuh indexer
    
    Wazuh indexer pod. Used to build an Wazuh indexer cluster.
    
    Details:
    - Image: wazuh/wazuh-indexer
    - Controller: StatefulSet
    
    #### Wazuh dashboard
    
    Wazuh dashboard pod. It lets you visualize your Wazuh indexer data, along with other features as the Wazuh app.
    
    Details:
    - image: Docker Hub 'wazuh/wazuh-dashboard'
    - Controller: Deployment
    
    ### Services
    
    #### Indexer stack
    
    - wazuh-indexer:
      - Communication for Wazuh indexer nodes.
    - indexer:
      - Wazuh indexer API. Used by Wazuh dashboard to write/read alerts.
    - dashboard:
      - Wazuh dashboard service. https://wazuh.your-domain.com:443
    
    #### Wazuh
    
    - wazuh:
      - Wazuh API: wazuh-master.your-domain.com:55000
      - Agent registration service (authd): wazuh-master.your-domain.com:1515
    - wazuh-workers:
      - Reporting service: wazuh-manager.your-domain.com:1514
    - wazuh-cluster:
      - Communication for Wazuh manager nodes.
    
    
    ## Deploy
    
    
    ### Step 1: Deploy Kubernetes
    
    Deploying the Kubernetes cluster is out of the scope of this guide.
    
    This repository focuses on [AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/) but it should be easy to adapt it to another Cloud provider. In case you are using AWS, we recommend [EKS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/en_us/eks/latest/userguide/getting-started.html).
    
    
    ### Step 2: Create domains to access the services
    
    We recommend creating domains and certificates to access the services. Examples:
    
    - wazuh-master.your-domain.com: Wazuh API and authd registration service.
    - wazuh-manager.your-domain.com: Reporting service.
    - wazuh.your-domain.com: Wazuh dashboard app.
    
    Note: You can skip this step and the services will be accessible using the Load balancer DNS from the VPC.
    
    ### Step 3: Deployment
    
    Clone this repository to deploy the necessary services and pods.
    
    ```BASH
    $ git clone https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh-kubernetes.git
    $ cd wazuh-kubernetes
    ```
    
    ### Step 3.1: Setup SSL certificates
    
    You can generate self-signed certificates for the Wazuh indexer cluster using the script at `wazuh/certs/indexer_cluster/generate_certs.sh` or provide your own.
    
    Since Wazuh dashboard has HTTPS enabled it will require its own certificates, these may be generated with: `openssl req -x509 -batch -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem`, there is an utility script at `wazuh/certs/dashboard_http/generate_certs.sh` to help with this.
    
    The required certificates are imported via secretGenerator on the `kustomization.yml` file:
    
        secretGenerator:
        - name: indexer-certs
            files:
            - certs/indexer_cluster/root-ca.pem
            - certs/indexer_cluster/node.pem
            - certs/indexer_cluster/node-key.pem
            - certs/indexer_cluster/dashboard.pem
            - certs/indexer_cluster/dashboard-key.pem
            - certs/indexer_cluster/admin.pem
            - certs/indexer_cluster/admin-key.pem
            - certs/indexer_cluster/filebeat.pem
            - certs/indexer_cluster/filebeat-key.pem
        - name: dashboard-certs
            files:
            - certs/dashboard_http/cert.pem
            - certs/dashboard_http/key.pem
    
    ### Step 3.2: Apply all manifests using kustomize
    
    We are using the overlay feature of kustomize to create two variants: `eks` and `local-env`, in this guide we're using `eks`. (For a deployment on a local environment check the guide on [local-environment.md](local-environment.md))
    
    You can adjust resources for the cluster on `envs/eks/`, you can tune cpu, memory as well as storage for persistent volumes of each of the cluster objects.
    
    
    By using the kustomization file on the `eks` variant we can now deploy the whole cluster with a single command:
    
    ```BASH
    $ kubectl apply -k envs/eks/
    ```
    
    ### Verifying the deployment
    
    #### Namespace
    
    ```BASH
    $ kubectl get namespaces | grep wazuh
    wazuh         Active    12m
    ```
    
    #### Services
    
    ```BASH
    $ kubectl get services -n wazuh

    wazuh-indexer   ClusterIP      None             <none>                  9300/TCP                         4h13m
    wazuh-workers   LoadBalancer   10.100.165.20    <entrypoint_assigned>   1514:30128/TCP                   4h13m
    ```
    
    #### Deployments
    
    ```BASH
    $ kubectl get deployments -n wazuh
    NAME              READY   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
    wazuh-dashboard   1/1     1            1           4h16m
    ```
    
    #### Statefulsets
    
    ```BASH
    $ kubectl get statefulsets -n wazuh
    NAME                   READY   AGE
    wazuh-indexer          3/3     4h17m

    wazuh-manager-worker-1             1/1     Running   0          4h17m
    ```
    
    #### Accessing Wazuh dashboard
    
    In case you created domain names for the services, you should be able to access Wazuh dashboard using the proposed domain name: https://wazuh.your-domain.com.
    
    Also, you can access using the External-IP (from the VPC): https://internal-xxx-yyy.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com:443
    
    ```BASH
    $ kubectl get services -o wide -n wazuh
    NAME        TYPE           CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP                                                              PORT(S)        AGE     SELECTOR
