kind/kubectl/helm were installed without root and a real local cluster ran the full two-tenant walkthrough end to end: both acme and globex reached Tenant.status.phase: Active with real generated ClickHouse credentials. Updates deploy/README.md's and deploy/helm/sentry/README.md's verification-status framing from "not verified against a live cluster" to what's actually true now, fixes both READMEs' helm install --include-crds (a helm template-only flag, never valid for install), documents the two chart bugs this run found (see the previous commit) and the mandatory ingest TLS Secret step, and updates the threat model's summary table and "No general multi-cluster orchestration" residual-risk note accordingly. This closes the last remaining gap in /docs/phase-4-runbook.md.
deploy/helm/sentry
A Helm chart covering every docker-compose.yml service (Redpanda,
ClickHouse, Postgres, ingest, search, alerting, web) plus, when
enterprise.enabled: true: enterprise-auth, the deploy/operator
tenant-operator, and Tenant CRs from values.tenants. See
/deploy/README.md for what "multi-tenant-aware" does and doesn't mean
at this layer, and its verification-status section before trusting this
against a real cluster.
This chart never builds images -- push every image its values.yaml
references to a registry the cluster can pull from first, same division
of labor as docker compose build vs. docker compose up.
api vs enterprise-api: one Deployment, chosen by enterprise.enabled
templates/api.yaml and templates/enterprise-api.yaml are mutually
exclusive, gated on opposite sides of the same enterprise.enabled flag
-- exactly one of them ever renders, both under the same
{{ .Release.Name }}-api Service name and port 8080. This is the fix
for what /docs/security/threat-model.md named as Phase 4's single
largest remaining gap once both storage engines' isolation mechanisms
were built: previously nothing forced or even flagged whether a
deployment ran the tenant-isolated binary. Now it's not a second knob to
remember -- the same flag that turns on RBAC/audit/SSO also swaps which
query binary actually serves /query and /dashboards traffic. Every
consumer (alerting's API_QUERY_URL, web's build args) needs zero
conditional logic of its own, since both variants answer on the same
name/port.
enterprise-api starts with an empty tenant set until
-provision-tenant has been run for at least one tenant (see
/enterprise/README.md) -- until then it's up and healthy, but every
/query request correctly fails closed with no tenant to route to.
Startup ordering
docker-compose.yml uses depends_on: condition: service_healthy /
service_completed_successfully to sequence startup (e.g. api waits
for clickhouse-migrate to actually finish, not just for clickhouse to
be reachable). This chart approximates that more loosely:
- Migration Jobs (
clickhouse-migrate,metadata-migrate,redpanda-provision) are plainJobresources (not Helm hooks -- making the StatefulSets they depend on into hooks too, to get ordering, would breakhelm upgrade/helm uninstall's normal ownership tracking of stateful resources, a worse tradeoff), withbackoffLimit: 6so they retry a few times if their dependency isn't up yet. - App Deployments get an
initContainerthat busy-waits for their dependency's TCP port, not for a specific Job's completion (seetemplates/_helpers.tpl'ssentry.waitForTCP) -- this covers "is ClickHouse/Postgres/Redpanda up" but not "has the migration Job actually finished." - The gap that leaves (a pod starts before its migration has completed)
is covered by every Go service here already calling
os.Exit(1)on a failed startup DB ping (see e.g.api/cmd/api/main.go) -- Kubernetes' pod restart policy retries with backoff until the schema is ready. This is a real, working, but looser guarantee than docker-compose's explicit ordering -- documented here rather than implied to be equivalent.
Trying the two-tenant example
# Quote each --set value -- zsh globs an unquoted tenants[0] as a
# pattern and fails with "no matches found." Also note: no --include-crds
# here -- that's a helm template-only flag (install always installs
# crds/ by default); confirmed the hard way running this against a real
# kind cluster, see /docs/phase-4-runbook.md §7.
helm install sentry . \
--set enterprise.enabled=true \
--set tenantOperator.enabled=true \
--set 'tenants[0].name=acme' --set 'tenants[0].displayName=Acme Corp' \
--set 'tenants[1].name=globex' --set 'tenants[1].displayName=Globex Corporation'
kubectl get tenants
# expect: both Provisioning -- the Tenant CRs above are just a
# declarative request; nothing has actually provisioned ClickHouse for
# either yet (see below).
kubectl exec -it deploy/sentry-api -- /enterprise-api -provision-tenant=acme -display-name="Acme Corp"
kubectl exec -it deploy/sentry-api -- /enterprise-api -provision-tenant=globex -display-name="Globex Corporation"
kubectl get tenants
# expect: both Active now.
kubectl get secret sentry-tenant-acme-clickhouse sentry-tenant-globex-clickhouse
Before any of this: ingest needs a real mTLS cert Secret
(--set ingest.tlsSecretName=..., see values.yaml's comment on it and
/docs/phase-4-runbook.md §7 for the exact kubectl create secret
invocation using hack/dev-certs) or it crash-loops on startup --
unconditional by design, no disable switch.
Genuinely run against a real kind cluster, not just described: see
/docs/phase-4-runbook.md §7 for the exact steps (image loading into
kind, the two chart bugs it found and fixed) and confirmation that
both tenants reached status.phase: Active with real credentials.
This proves Phase 4's "two tenants... with their own users, roles,
dashboards" exit criteria (/CLAUDE.md) end to end at the deployment-
topology layer: -provision-tenant (enterprise/internal/ tenantprovision) is what actually creates each tenant's ClickHouse
database/user/grant and marks it active in rbacstore; running inside
the enterprise-api Deployment's Pod means it automatically syncs that
real result into the Tenant CRD too (enterprise/internal/tenantcrd,
via the ServiceAccount/Role tenantOperator.enabled also grants that
Deployment) -- the credential Secret you see above has real
credentials, not a placeholder, and Tenant.status.phase: Active means
the same thing rbacstore.tenants.status='active' does, not two
different claims about two different systems. The Tenant CRD and
-provision-tenant used to be genuinely disconnected (a Secret existed
the moment the CR was created, with a password that authenticated
against nothing) -- see /deploy/README.md's "lightweight unification"
section for the full history. OIDC/SAML login still needs a manual
tenant_memberships grant (enterprise-auth -grant-membership-* --
see /docs/phase-4-runbook.md §3a/§3b) before a human can actually
query as either tenant.
web's image needs rebuilding per environment
web is a static SvelteKit build (adapter-static) -- its three API
base URLs (VITE_API_BASE_URL/VITE_ALERTING_API_BASE_URL/
VITE_ENTERPRISE_AUTH_BASE_URL) are baked in at image build time
(web/Dockerfile's build args), not read from the container's
environment at runtime. values.yaml's web.builtWithApiBaseURL etc.
document what the image you point web.image at needs to have been
built with (an Ingress hostname, a LoadBalancer IP, etc.) -- this chart
has no Ingress resources and can't itself act on those values; rebuild
web's image with the right build args for wherever this release is
actually reachable from a browser before pointing real users at it.
Validating without a cluster
helm lint .
helm template sentry . --include-crds > /tmp/rendered.yaml
See /deploy/README.md's verification section for what was checked
this way versus against a real cluster (now done -- see above).
