feat: support AWS EventBridge (#4188)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
## Description

This PR introduces the AWS EventBridge. The EventBridge can be enabled
with the options `webhook_mode`, which can be set to either `direct` or
`eventbridge`. In the direct mode the olds way of handling is still
applied. When setting the mode to `eventbridge` events will publshed on
the AWS EventBridge, which is not limited only to the event
`workflow_job` with statues `queued` via a target rule events relevant
for scaling a snet to the dispatcher lambda to distrute to a SQS queue
for sacling.

## Todo

- [x] Refactor lambda and add EventBridge
- [x] Refactor webhook module (TF) to support EventBridge
- [x] Test example default
- [x] Test example multi runner
- [x] Adjust docs
- [x] Reduce permissions on webhook and dispatcher lambda for
eventbridge mode
- [x] Add configuration for allowed events on the EventBridge
- [ ] Add support for CMK (encruption) to EventBridge #4192
 
## MIgration directions

The change is backwards compatible but will recreate resources managed
by the internal module webhook. The only resource contianing data is the
CloudWatch LogGroup. To retain the log geroup you can run a terraform
state move. Or add a `moved` block to your deployemnt.

### Migrating to this version

With module defaults or eventbridge is not eanavbled

```hcl
# log group
moved {
   from = module.<runner-module-name>.module.webhook.aws_cloudwatch_log_group.webhook
   to = module.<runner-module-name>.module.webhook.module.direct[0].aws_cloudwatch_log_group.webhook
}

# lambda
moved {
   from = module.<runner-module-name>.module.webhook.aws_lambda_function.webhook
   to = module.<runner-module-name>.module.webhook.module.direct[0].aws_lambda_function.webhook
}

```

Or with `webhook_mode = eventbridge`

```hcl
# log group
moved {
   from = module.<runner-module-name>.module.webhook.aws_cloudwatch_log_group.webhook
   to = module.<runner-module-name>.module.webhook.module.direct[0].aws_cloudwatch_log_group.webhook
}

# lambda
moved {
   from = module.<runner-module-name>.module.webhook.aws_lambda_function.webhook
   to = module.<runner-module-name>.module.webhook.module.direct[0].aws_lambda_function.webhook
}
```

### When switching between direct and eventbridge

When enable mode `eventbridge`

```hcl
# log group
moved {
  from = module.runners.module.webhook.module.direct[0].aws_cloudwatch_log_group.webhook
  to = module.runners.module.webhook.module.eventbridge[0].aws_cloudwatch_log_group.webhook
}

# lambda
moved {
  from = module.runners.module.webhook.module.direct[0].aws_lambda_function.webhook
  to = module.runners.module.webhook.module.eventbridge[0].aws_lambda_function.webhook
}
```

Or vice versa for moving from `eventbride` to `webhook`

- Org vs Repo level. You can configure the module to connect the runners in GitHub on an org level and share the runners in your org, or set the runners on repo level and the module will install the runner to the repo. There can be multiple repos but runners are not shared between repos.
- Multi-Runner module. This modules allows you to create multiple runner configurations with a single webhook and single GitHub App to simplify deployment of different types of runners. Check the detailed module [documentation](modules/public/multi-runner.md) for more information or checkout the [multi-runner example](examples/multi-runner.md).
- Workflow job event. You can configure the webhook in GitHub to send workflow job events to the webhook. Workflow job events were introduced by GitHub in September 2021 and are designed to support scalable runners. We advise using the workflow job event when possible.
- Webhook mode, the module can be deployed in `direct` mode or `EventBridge` (Experimental) mode. The `direct` mode is the default and will directly distribute to SQS for the scale-up lambda. The `EventBridge` mode will publish the events to a eventbus, the rule then directs the received events to a dispatch lambda. The dispatch lambda will send the event to the SQS queue. The `EventBridge` mode is useful when you want to have more control over the events and potentially filter them. The `EventBridge` mode is disabled by default. An example of what the `EventBridge` mode could be used for is building a data lake, build metrics, act on `workflow_job` job started events, etc.
- Linux vs Windows. You can configure the OS types linux and win. Linux will be used by default.
- Re-use vs Ephemeral. By default runners are re-used, until detected idle. Once idle they will be removed from the pool. To improve security we are introducing ephemeral runners. Those runners are only used for one job. Ephemeral runners only work in combination with the workflow job event. For ephemeral runners the lambda requests a JIT (just in time) configuration via the GitHub API to register the runner. [JIT configuration](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/security-hardening-for-github-actions#using-just-in-time-runners) is limited to ephemeral runners (and currently not supported by GHES). For non-ephemeral runners, a registration token is always requested. In both cases the configuration is made available to the instance via the same SSM parameter. To disable JIT configuration for ephemeral runners set `enable_jit_config` to `false`. We also suggest using a pre-build AMI to improve the start time of jobs for ephemeral runners.
- Job retry (**Beta**). By default the scale-up lambda will discard the message when it is handled. Meaning in the ephemeral use-case an instance is created. The created runner will ask GitHub for a job, no guarantee it will run the job for which it was scaling. Result could be that with small system hick-up the job is keeping waiting for a runner. Enable a pool (org runners) is one option to avoid this problem. Another option is to enable the job retry function. Which will retry the job after a delay for a configured number of times.

### EventBridge

This module can be deployed in using the mode `EventBridge` (Experimental). The `EventBridge` mode will publish an event to a eventbus. Within the eventbus, there is a target rule set, sending events to the dispatch lambda. The `EventBridge` mode is disabled by default.

Example to use the EventBridge:

```hcl
module "runners" {
source = "philips-labs/github-runners/aws"
...
eventbridge = {
enable = true
}
...
}
locals {
event_bus_name = module.runners.webhook.eventbridge.event_bus.name
}
resource "aws_cloudwatch_event_rule" "example" {
name = "${local.prefix}-github-events-all"
description = "Caputure all GitHub events"
event_bus_name = local.event_bus_name
event_pattern = <<EOF
{
"source": [{
"prefix": "github"
}]
}
EOF
}
resource "aws_cloudwatch_event_target" "main" {
rule = aws_cloudwatch_event_rule.example.name
arn = <arn of target>
event_bus_name = local.event_bus_name
role_arn = aws_iam_role.event_rule_firehose_role.arn
}
data "aws_iam_policy_document" "event_rule_firehose_role" {
statement {
actions = ["sts:AssumeRole"]
principals {
type = "Service"
identifiers = ["events.amazonaws.com"]
}
}
}
resource "aws_iam_role" "event_rule_role" {
name = "${local.prefix}-eventbridge-github-rule"
assume_role_policy = data.aws_iam_policy_document.event_rule_firehose_role.json
}
data aws_iam_policy_document firehose_stream {
statement {
INSER_YOUR_POIICY_HERE_TO_ACCESS_THE_TARGET
}
}
resource "aws_iam_role_policy" "event_rule_firehose_role" {
name = "target-event-rule-firehose"
role = aws_iam_role.event_rule_firehose_role.name
policy = data.aws_iam_policy_document.firehose_stream.json

### Queue to publish workflow job events

!!! warning "Deprecated

This fearure will be removed since we introducing the EventBridge. Same functinallity can be implemented by adding a rule to the EventBridge to forward `workflow_job` events to the SQS queue.

This queue is an experimental feature to allow you to receive a copy of the wokflow_jobs events sent by the GitHub App. This can be used to calculate a matrix or monitor the system.

To enable the feature set `enable_workflow_job_events_queue = true`. Be aware though, this feature is experimental!

### Webhook

The moment a GitHub action workflow requiring a `self-hosted` runner is triggered, GitHub will try to find a runner which can execute the workload. See [additional notes](additional_notes.md) for how the selection is made. This module reacts to GitHub's [`workflow_job` event](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/developers/webhooks-and-events/webhook-events-and-payloads#workflow_job) for the triggered workflow and creates a new runner if necessary.
The moment a GitHub action workflow requiring a `self-hosted` runner is triggered, GitHub will try to find a runner which can execute the workload. See [additional notes](additional_notes.md) for how the selection is made. The module can be deployed in two modes. One mode called `direct`, after accepting the [`workflow_job` event](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/developers/webhooks-and-events/webhook-events-and-payloads#workflow_job) event the module will dispatch the event to a SQS queue on which the scale-up function will act. The second mode, `eventbridge` will funnel events via the AWS EventBridge. the EventBridge enables act on other events then only the `workflow_job` event with status `queued`. besides that the EventBridge supports replay functionality. For future extensions to act on events or create a data lake we will relay on the EventBridge.

For receiving the `workflow_job` event by the webhook (lambda), a webhook needs to be created in GitHub. The same app as for API calls can be used to create the webhook. Or a dedicated webhook can be defined.
