CPS - Centralized Property Service

CPS is a centralized dynamic property service. It serves up the precomputed properties for a service as well as dynamic consul properties in the form of conqueso.service.ips=. It also supports AWS SSM Parameter Store SecureStrings.

See cps-property-generator for generating json property files and uploading them to s3.

configuration

In order to run this project you need to set the following values in cps.json at the root of the project:

{
  "account": "000000000000",
  "region": "us-east-1",
  "s3": {
    "bucket": "mys3propertiesbucket",
    "region": "us-east-1"
  },
  "consul": {
    "host": "localhost:8500"
  }
}

running locally

• mkdir -p ~/go/src
• add export GOPATH=~/go to your .bashrc or .zshrc
• git clone to ~/go/src/cps
• brew install go consul
• make
• consul agent -dev -advertise 127.0.0.1 in another tab.
• export your awsaml creds
• ./cps

running on an ec2 instance

• make build-linux
• scp binary to the ec2 instance and run

running a dev instance with local files

Sometimes it is desirable to run locally using flat files. You can put your service json files into a directory and point to that directory. Note, when file mode is enabled s3 and consul watchers are both disabled. Here is a basic example of how to set up your config for local files:

{
  "account": "0000000000000",
  "region": "us-east-1",
  "file": {
    "enabled": true,
    "directory": "./local-files"
  }
}

The names of the files in the ./local-files should be the name of the service.

running in docker

There is a Dockerfile at the root of the project that is meant to be used in local file mode. You can modify dockerfiles/cps.json and add/remove services from the dockerfiles/services directory to change what properties are returned. Here are the steps to get started quickly:

1. Uncomment dockerfiles ADD in Dockerfile
2. docker build -t cps .
3. docker run -p 9100:9100 -it cps
4. curl localhost:9100/v1/properties/your-service
