Requesting to Enable CORS on gcsweb.k8s.io for easy access via AJAX calls to bucket objects

[ashnehete]

On relnotes.k8s.io we want to fetch the release notes for each release directly from the bucket using a AJAX call. Relevant issue: kubernetes/release#1087

While trying to fetch the object using a gcsweb.k8s.io link (eg. https://gcsweb.k8s.io/gcs/kubernetes-release/release/release-notes-index.json) we ran into a CORS error. It seems that CORS isn't enabled on the GCS bucket.

Will it be possible to enable CORS on the bucket?

@spiffxp @dims @justaugustus do you think that we could set the CORS config for the kubernetes-release bucket?

Like:

[
  {
    "AllowedHeaders": ["*"],
    "AllowedMethods": ["GET"],
    "AllowedOrigins": ["https://relnotes.k8s.io/"]
  }
]

@saschagrunert Is this script-able?

@saschagrunert Is this script-able?

Yes, gsutil has a cors subcommand:

> gsutil cors set JSON_FILE_NAME.json gs://BUCKET_NAME

[ashnehete]

I just had a thought, do we want to restrict AllowedOrigins to only https://relnotes.k8s.io/ or open it up for everyone (*)? This will make the testing easier on localhost as well as open up avenues for other tools to use the objects in the bucket programmatically. Only downside I see is the security implication.

gs://kubernetes-release lives in a project I do not have rights to edit or modify in any way (ref: #1571), so it's not clear to me whether we can accommodate this request

It could be that fully migrating to gs://k8s-release is a blocker to this (the first step / proof-of-concept for doing so being #1569)

[listx]

The gs://kubernetes-release lives in the google-containers GCP project, and I also do not have rights to modify it. Fully migrating to k8s-release seems to be the right thing.

This is going to have to wait until we can move the project to gs://k8s-release
