|

The office IPsec tunnel that already reaches mgmt `10.20.0.0/16` does **not**

land in this VPC. UniFi needs a second site-to-site peer for `10.40.0.0/16`.

Do not re-home this workspace in mgmt.

|
|
|
|
|
2026-09-17 18:48:25 +00:00
|
|
|
SSM Session Manager. SSH 22 is closed. There is no Elastic IP forwarding
|
|
|
|
|
target.

## IAM bootstrap window

|
|
|
|
2026-09-17 18:48:25 +00:00
|
|
|
Instance-boundary document changes and apply-role inline policy changes need
|
|
|
|
|
the hcptf-bootstrap window (`DenySelfMutation` plus deny on
|
|
|
|
|
`iam:CreatePolicyVersion`). Sequence:
|
2026-09-16 21:29:43 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2026-09-17 18:48:25 +00:00
|
|
|
1. From `seahaven-org-baseline`:
|
2026-09-16 21:29:43 +00:00
|
|
|
`scripts/create-hcptf-bootstrap-roles.sh --account prod --allow-workspace syslog-server-prod`
|
2026-09-17 18:48:25 +00:00
|
|
|
2. Point workspace `TFC_AWS_APPLY_ROLE_ARN` / `TFC_AWS_PLAN_ROLE_ARN` at
|
|
|
|
|
`hcptf-bootstrap` / `hcptf-bootstrap-plan`. Keep `TFC_AWS_PROVIDER_AUTH=true`.
|
2026-09-16 21:29:43 +00:00
|
|
|
Never `TFC_AWS_RUN_ROLE_ARN`.
|
2026-09-17 18:48:25 +00:00
|
|
|
3. One manual apply as bootstrap creates/updates the scoped `hcptf-*` inline
|
|
|
|
|
policies and the instance boundary.
|
|
|
|
|
4. Retarget `TFC_AWS_*` to `hcptf-syslog-server` / `hcptf-syslog-server-plan`.
|
2026-09-16 21:29:43 +00:00
|
|
|
Re-run the create script with no `--allow-workspace`.
|
2026-09-17 18:48:25 +00:00
|
|
|
5. Manual apply as the scoped role for the rest of the stack (instance,
|
|
|
|
|
Firehose, S3, Glue, Athena, VGW). Auto-apply stays off until soak.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HCP outputs to copy: `private_ip`, `vpn_connection_id`,
|
|
|
|
|
`vpn_tunnel1_address`, `vpn_tunnel2_address`, `bucket_name`,
|
|
|
|
|
`firehose_name`, `athena_workgroup`. Read PSKs with
|
|
|
|
|
`terraform output -raw vpn_tunnel1_preshared_key` after apply. Do not commit
|
|
|
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
AMI is pinned in `var.ami_id`. An AMI or user-data change replaces the
|
|
|
|
|
instance. The box is stateless; archives live in S3.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`Syslog-NoIncomingRecords` defaults `treat_missing_data` to `notBreaching`
|
|
|
|
|
until UniFi delivers over IPsec. After Firehose `IncomingRecords` is
|
|
|
|
|
non-zero, set `no_logs_treat_missing_data=breaching`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## UniFi cutover
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Do this after the HCP apply, not before. Apply drops public 514 and the
|
|
|
|
|
CloudWatch `unifi-syslog` log group. Point UniFi immediately.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. **Ronkonkoma site-to-site VPN** to the AWS tunnel addresses from HCP
|
|
|
|
|
outputs. Remote network `10.40.0.0/16`. Local network `10.10.0.0/16`.
|
|
|
|
|
IKEv2, AES-256, SHA-256, DH14 matches typical AWS defaults. Use the
|
|
|
|
|
Terraform PSK outputs. This is a second child SA alongside the existing
|
|
|
|
|
mgmt `10.20` tunnel. Do not replace the mgmt tunnel.
|
|
|
|
|
2. **Locust SD-WAN mesh** must already route AWS VPC CIDRs via Ronkonkoma
|
|
|
|
|
(same as jumpbox SSH). Add `10.40.0.0/16` if it is missing.
|
|
|
|
|
3. Both controllers, **Settings → CyberSecure / System Log**:
|
|
|
|
|
- SIEM server = collector **private IP**, port **514**, UDP
|
|
|
|
|
- Flow Logging = **All Traffic**
|
|
|
|
|
- Activity Logging SIEM contents include firewall
|
|
|
|
|
- Control Plane **CEF** to the same IP:514
|
|
|
|
|
4. Enable syslog on WAN and inter-VLAN firewall rules, or All Traffic stays
|
|
|
|
|
silent.
|
|
|
|
|
5. NetFlow/IPFIX: Ronkonkoma → UDP **2055**, Locust → UDP **2056**, same
|
|
|
|
|
private IP.
|
|
|
|
|
6. Prove the path: send a test syslog from Ronkonkoma; Athena `SELECT` on
|
|
|
|
|
`iptables` and `cef`; confirm `format=netflow` objects for 2055/2056;
|
|
|
|
|
confirm `site-alerts` does not fire while traffic is present.
|
|
|
|
|
7. Flip off any remaining public EIP / mgmt collector **only after**
|
|
|
|
|
Firehose `IncomingRecords` is non-zero. PLAT-78 still owns deleting the
|
|
|
|
|
mgmt `syslog-server` CloudFormation stack after soak.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Vector treats payloads as untrusted text. It parses fields and does not
|
|
|
|
|
shell out. IPFIX datagrams are archived as base64 JSON with a site tag
|
|
|
|
|
(Vector has no released IPFIX decoder).
