enhancement, configuration changes


Description

  • Removed port 22 from the firewall rules in both chatqna and codegen modules to enhance security.
  • Commented out default values for variables in variables.tf to encourage explicit user input.
  • Adjusted formatting for user_data assignment in main.tf for better readability.

    PR Reviewer Guide 🔍

    Here are some key observations to aid the review process:

    ⏱️ Estimated effort to review: 2 🔵🔵⚪⚪⚪
    🧪 No relevant tests
    🔒 No security concerns identified
    ⚡ Recommended focus areas for review

    Security Concern
    The user_data field now includes the HUGGINGFACEHUB_API_TOKEN directly in the template file, which might expose sensitive information if not handled securely.

    Best Practice
    Commenting out default values for critical variables like the GCP project ID and Huggingface Token encourages explicit configuration but may lead to runtime errors if not set by the user.

    Enhancement
    Add conditional logic to nat_ip and public_ptr_domain_name settings based on deployment needs

    Ensure that the nat_ip and public_ptr_domain_name fields in the access_config are
    intentionally set to null, or provide a conditional setup based on environment or
    deployment requirements.

    examples/gen-ai-xeon-opea-chatqna/main.tf [18-20]

    -nat_ip = null
    -public_ptr_domain_name = null
    +nat_ip = var.use_nat_ip ? var.nat_ip_value : null
    +public_ptr_domain_name = var.use_public_ptr ? var.public_ptr_domain_name_value : null
    Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8

    Why: Introducing conditional logic for nat_ip and public_ptr_domain_name provides flexibility for different deployment scenarios, improving the module's adaptability and configurability. This is a valuable enhancement.

    Best practice
    Add validation for HUGGINGFACEHUB_API_TOKEN to ensure it meets security standards

    Consider adding a validation rule for the HUGGINGFACEHUB_API_TOKEN to ensure it
    meets expected format or length requirements, enhancing security and robustness.

    examples/gen-ai-xeon-opea-chatqna/main.tf [17]

     user_data = templatefile("./cloud_init.yml", { HUGGINGFACEHUB_API_TOKEN = var.huggingface_token })
    +validation {
    +  condition     = length(var.huggingface_token) > 20
    +  error_message = "The HUGGINGFACEHUB_API_TOKEN must be at least 20 characters."
    +}
    Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7

    Why: Adding a validation rule for the HUGGINGFACEHUB_API_TOKEN enhances security by ensuring the token meets a minimum length requirement. This is a beneficial improvement, although the specific condition may need adjustment based on actual token requirements.

    Security
    Reduce the number of open ports to enhance security

    Review the extensive list of ports exposed in the firewall rules to minimize
    potential vulnerabilities, especially if some ports are not required for the
    application's functionality.

    examples/gen-ai-xeon-opea-chatqna/main.tf [34]

    -ports = ["80", "443", "6379", "8001", "6006", "6007", "6000", "7000", "8808", "8000", "8888", "5173", "5174", "9009", "9000"]
    +ports = ["80", "443", "8001", "8888"]
    Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6

    Why: Reducing the number of open ports can significantly enhance security by minimizing potential attack vectors. However, the suggested ports may not align with the application's requirements, necessitating further review.
