Jx: Improve cluster name validation

Created on 8 Jun 2019  路  5Comments  路  Source: jenkins-x/jx

On GKE, there is a limit on the number of characters that can be use for a service account name (6-30). As the service account we use (vault/kaniko) have their names based of the cluster name the suggestion is to limit the cluster name to 27 chars, and use the following templates for the generated service accounts.

  • ${cluster_name}-ko
  • ${cluster_name}-vt

May need a bit of extra validation when using jx create terraform as the cluster name is set to:

  • ${org_name}-${cluster_short_name}

We would need to limit that to 27 chars too.

this actually still happens if the cluster name is too short (e.g. jx)

'ERROR: (gcloud.iam.service-accounts.create) argument NAME: Bad value [jx-vt]: Service account name must be between 6 and 30 characters (inclusive)

Tried installing on GKE in a cluster named jx, bombed out error: creating the system vault: creating vault: creating GCP service account: creating the Vault GCP Service Account: creating the service account: failed to run 'gcloud iam service-accounts create jx-vt --project y-k8s-240607 --display-name jx-vt' command in directory '', output: 'ERROR: (gcloud.iam.service-accounts.create) argument NAME: Bad value [jx-vt]: Service account name must be between 6 and 30 characters (inclusive), must begin with a lowercase letter, and consist of lowercase alphanumeric characters that can be separated by hyphens. - using version:
