Description

What is this issue about?

There has been a lot of excellent progress in securing all CF traffic with TLS and as far as I can tell there are only a few things that are still unencrypted.
Is there a timeline or any plans for these last few things?

  1. routing-api - still using both TLS and non-TLS in the cf-deployment. The http endpoint is what is registered in the router. Is there a reason for still enabling both?
  2. metrics-discovery-registrar-windows - not using nats-tls hostname, falling back to 4222. We have pull request in for this one already (https://github.com/cloudfoundry/metrics-discovery-release/pull/6)
  3. route_registrar - not using nats-tls
  4. gorouter - not using nats-tls
What version of cf-deployment are you using?

[cf-deployment v13.19.0]

Research direction

Review the cf-deployment v13.19.0 configuration for routing-api, metrics-discovery-registrar-windows, route_registrar, and gorouter, starting with the linked metrics-discovery-release pull request. Check why HTTP or non-TLS NATS endpoints remain enabled or selected, and confirm whether all four paths use TLS or have a documented reason not to.
