Yuan Teoh 293c1d6889 feat!: update configuration file v2 (#2369)
This PR introduces a significant update to the Toolbox configuration
file format, which is one of the primary **breaking changes** required
for the implementation of the Advanced Control Plane.

# Summary of Changes
The configuration schema has been updated to enforce resource isolation
and facilitate atomic, incremental updates.
* Resource Isolation: Resource definitions are now separated into
individual blocks, using a distinct structure for each resource type
(Source, Tool, Toolset, etc.). This improves readability, management,
and auditing of configuration files.
* Field Name Modification: Internal field names have been modified to
align with declarative methodologies. Specifically, the configuration
now separates kind (general resource type, e.g., Source) from type
(specific implementation, e.g., Postgres).

# User Impact
Existing tools.yaml configuration files are now in an outdated format.
Users must eventually update their files to the new YAML format.

# Mitigation & Compatibility
Backward compatibility is maintained during this transition to ensure no
immediate user action is required for existing files.
* Immediate Backward Compatibility: The source code includes a
pre-processing layer that automatically detects outdated configuration
files (v1 format) and converts them to the new v2 format under the hood.
* [COMING SOON] Migration Support: The new toolbox migrate subcommand
will be introduced to allow users to automatically convert their old
configuration files to the latest format.

# Example
Example for config file v2:
```
kind: sources
name: my-pg-instance
type: cloud-sql-postgres
project: my-project
region: my-region
instance: my-instance
database: my_db
user: my_user
password: my_pass
---
kind: authServices
name: my-google-auth
type: google
clientId: testing-id
---
kind: tools
name: example_tool
type: postgres-sql
source: my-pg-instance
description: some description
statement: SELECT * FROM SQL_STATEMENT;
parameters:
- name: country
  type: string
  description: some description
---
kind: tools
name: example_tool_2
type: postgres-sql
source: my-pg-instance
description: returning the number one
statement: SELECT 1;
---
kind: toolsets
name: example_toolset
tools:
- example_tool
```

Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL Cloud SQL (Postgres) docs 1 Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL is a fully-managed database service for Postgres.

About

Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL is a fully-managed database service that helps you set up, maintain, manage, and administer your PostgreSQL relational databases on Google Cloud Platform.

If you are new to Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL, you can try creating and connecting to a database by following these instructions.

Available Tools

Pre-built Configurations

Requirements

IAM Permissions

By default, this source uses the Cloud SQL Go Connector to authorize and establish mTLS connections to your Cloud SQL instance. The Go connector uses your Application Default Credentials (ADC) to authorize your connection to Cloud SQL.

In addition to setting the ADC for your server, you need to ensure the IAM identity has been given the following IAM roles (or corresponding permissions):

  • roles/cloudsql.client

{{< notice tip >}} If you are connecting from Compute Engine, make sure your VM also has the proper scope to connect using the Cloud SQL Admin API. {{< /notice >}}

Networking

Cloud SQL supports connecting over both from external networks via the internet (public IP), and internal networks (private IP). For more information on choosing between the two options, see the Cloud SQL page Connection overview.

You can configure the ipType parameter in your source configuration to public or private to match your cluster's configuration. Regardless of which you choose, all connections use IAM-based authorization and are encrypted with mTLS.

Authentication

This source supports both password-based authentication and IAM authentication (using your Application Default Credentials).

Standard Authentication

To connect using user/password, create a PostgreSQL user and input your credentials in the user and password fields.

user: ${USER_NAME}
password: ${PASSWORD}

IAM Authentication

To connect using IAM authentication:

  1. Prepare your database instance and user following this guide.

  2. You could choose one of the two ways to log in:

    • Specify your IAM email as the user.
    • Leave your user field blank. Toolbox will fetch the ADC automatically and log in using the email associated with it.
  3. Leave the password field blank.

Example

kind: sources
name: my-cloud-sql-pg-source
type: cloud-sql-postgres
project: my-project-id
region: us-central1
instance: my-instance
database: my_db
user: ${USER_NAME}
password: ${PASSWORD}
# ipType: "private"

{{< notice tip >}} Use environment variable replacement with the format ${ENV_NAME} instead of hardcoding your secrets into the configuration file. {{< /notice >}}

Reference

field type required description
type string true Must be "cloud-sql-postgres".
project string true Id of the GCP project that the cluster was created in (e.g. "my-project-id").
region string true Name of the GCP region that the cluster was created in (e.g. "us-central1").
instance string true Name of the Cloud SQL instance within the cluster (e.g. "my-instance").
database string true Name of the Postgres database to connect to (e.g. "my_db").
user string false Name of the Postgres user to connect as (e.g. "my-pg-user"). Defaults to IAM auth using ADC email if unspecified.
password string false Password of the Postgres user (e.g. "my-password"). Defaults to attempting IAM authentication if unspecified.
ipType string false IP Type of the Cloud SQL instance; must be one of public, private, or psc. Default: public.
