h1. Cluster configuration
We are (2018) consolidating configuration from per-microservice yaml/json/ini files into a single cluster configuration document that is used by all components.
* Long term: system nodes automatically keep their configs synchronized (using something like consul).
* Short term: sysadmin uses tools like puppet and terraform to ensure /etc/arvados/config.yml is identical on all system nodes.
* Hosts without config files (e.g., hosts outside the cluster) can retrieve the config document from the API server.
h2. Discovery document
Previously, we copied selected config values from the API server config into the API discovery document so clients could see them. When clients can get the configuration document itself, this won't be needed. The discovery document should advertise APIs provided by the server, not cluster configuration.
h2. Secrets
Secrets like BlobSigningKey can be given literally in the config file (convenient for dev/test, consul-template, etc) or indirectly using a secret backend. Anticipated backends:
* <code class="yaml">BlobSigningKey: foobar</code> ⇒ the secret is literally <code>foobar</code>
* <code class="yaml">BlobSigningKey: "vault:foobar"</code> ⇒ the secret can be obtained from vault using the vault key "foobar"
* <code class="yaml">BlobSigningKey: "file:/foobar"</code> ⇒ the secret can be read from the local file @/foobar@
* <code class="yaml">BlobSigningKey: "env:FOOBAR"</code> ⇒ the secret can be read from the environment variable @FOOBAR@
