TeaComponent

A component the tenant publishes through the Transparency Exchange API (TEA): a part a product is assembled from, such as a service, a library or an installer. Fields, YAML, HCL and CLI samples, and how apply treats it.

Checked against config-schemas@v1.15.0, terraform-provider-resolve@82cb23c, cli@v4.9.1

A component the tenant publishes through the Transparency Exchange API (TEA): a part a product is assembled from, such as a service, a library or an installer. Component releases, and the distributions and artifacts under them, are published by CI pipelines and are not declared here; a product release names the component releases it is built from when CI publishes it. A component given the same name as a TeaProduct is the same subject to consumers, who then see one node carrying both identities. The server assigns the component’s UUID and TEI and reports them in status. Who may read it is declared with a TeaAccessPolicy; until one exists the component is private. Removing the document deletes the component while no release has been published under it. Once CI has published a release, the component and its releases stay, and only the config management of the component ends.

Minimal

Only the fields the kind requires. From examples/TeaComponent/minimal.yaml.

YAML

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://github.com/Vulnetix/config-schemas/releases/latest/download/TeaComponent.schema.json
apiVersion: vulnetix.com/v1
kind: TeaComponent
metadata:
  name: payments-api
spec:
  name: payments-api

HCL (resource vulnetix_tea_component)

# Only the arguments the kind requires. From config-schemas examples/TeaComponent/minimal.yaml.

resource "vulnetix_tea_component" "payments_api" {
  name           = "payments-api"
  component_name = "payments-api"
}

CLI (applies it)

export VULNETIX_CONFIG_TOKEN=vmt_...   # a config management token
vulnetix config apply -f - --manager gitops:acme/platform --auto-approve <<'EOF'

EOF

Advanced

Every field the kind supports, with a when expression where it takes one. From examples/TeaComponent/advanced.yaml.

Fields

Paths use dots for nesting and [] for the items of a list. Required means required whenever the parent object is present. A default is what the server uses when the field is left out.

Field Type Required Default Allowed values Description
apiVersion string yes exactly vulnetix.com/v1 The document format version. Every kind in this release is vulnetix.com/v1.
kind string yes exactly TeaComponent Always TeaComponent.
metadata object yes no other keys
metadata.name string yes pattern ^[a-z0-9]([a-z0-9-]{0,61}[a-z0-9])?$ The object’s name, unique per kind within a tenant. It is the natural key: plan, apply, export and the Terraform provider all address an object by kind and name.
metadata.org string no format uuid The tenant (organization UUID) the document belongs to. When set, plan and apply refuse to run against any other tenant.
metadata.labels object no map of string to string (length 0 to 256); keys match ^[a-z0-9]([a-z0-9._/-]{0,61}[a-z0-9])?$ Free key/value labels. Stored with the object, never interpreted by the server.
metadata.annotations object no map of string to string (length 0 to 4096) Free key/value notes for people and tools, such as a ticket link.
spec object yes no other keys
spec.name string yes pattern ^\S(.*\S)?$; length 1 to 256 The component name TEA consumers see, such as payments-api. Unique among the tenant’s components. The first time a name is published the server derives the component’s UUID from it, so a CI pipeline that publishes releases under the same component name writes to this component. Changing the name later keeps the UUID.
spec.identifiers array of object no items unique Identifiers for the component besides its TEI, in the order consumers see them. The server assigns the TEI itself, so it is reported in status and cannot be declared.
spec.identifiers[].idType string yes PURL, CPE, COMPLIANCE_DOCUMENT PURL: a package URL. CPE: a CPE 2.3 name. COMPLIANCE_DOCUMENT: a compliance document type the TEA specification names.
spec.identifiers[].idValue string yes length 1 to 1024 The identifier itself.

Applying this kind

  • Command. vulnetix config apply -f <file>; the CLI line above says from which release. Plan first with vulnetix config plan: it shows each object as create, update, delete or no change, with a planHash that apply then holds to. Apply writes in one transaction.
  • Manager. Each object records the manager that applied it (terraform, console or gitops:<repo>). --prune deletes only objects its own manager owns. See The manager and the config engine.
  • Status. Applied, Unchanged or Deleted, with no other status fields. The phases the engine reports are explained under status phases.

How apply treats it

As for TeaProduct: the uuid is derived from the name, an object CI already created is adopted, and one with published releases is let go on delete, never deleted.

Terraform and OpenTofu

The resource is vulnetix_tea_component in the vulnetix/resolve provider. Its arguments are the spec in snake case, beside name, labels and annotations from metadata. The Minimal and Advanced HCL are above. The provider’s own reference is vulnetix_tea_component.

Import an object that already exists by its name:

# Import an existing TeaComponent by its name (metadata.name).
terraform import vulnetix_tea_component.payments_api payments-api

Install, authentication and how state is read: Terraform and OpenTofu.

Check a file with vulnetix config validate -f <file>. See Validate documents. In an editor, start the file with the schema comment.
