When peering through mesh gateways we expect outbound dials to peer
servers to flow through the local mesh gateway addresses.
Now when establishing a peering we get a list of dial addresses as a
ring buffer that includes local mesh gateway addresses if the local DC
is configured to peer through mesh gateways. The ring buffer includes
the mesh gateway addresses first, but also includes the remote server
addresses as a fallback.
This fallback is present because it's possible that direct egress from
the servers may be allowed. If not allowed then the leader will cycle
back to a mesh gateway address through the ring.
When attempting to dial the remote servers we retry up to a fixed
timeout. If using mesh gateways we also have an initial wait in
order to allow for the mesh gateways to configure themselves.
Note that if we encounter a permission denied error we do not retry
since that error indicates that the secret in the peering token is
invalid.
memdb's `WatchCh` method creates a goroutine that will publish to the
returned channel when the watchset is triggered or the given context
is canceled. Although this is called out in its godoc comment, it's
not obvious that this method creates a goroutine who's lifecycle you
need to manage.
In the xDS capacity controller, we were calling `WatchCh` on each
iteration of the control loop, meaning the number of goroutines would
grow on each autopilot event until there was catalog churn.
In the catalog config source, we were calling `WatchCh` with the
background context, meaning that the goroutine would keep running after
the sync loop had terminated.
Adds another datasource for proxycfg.HTTPChecks, for use on server agents. Typically these checks are performed by local client agents and there is no equivalent of this in agentless (where servers configure consul-dataplane proxies).
Hence, the data source is mostly a no-op on servers but in the case where the service is present within the local state, it delegates to the cache data source.
This commit adds a monotonically increasing nonce to include in peering
replication response messages. Every ack/nack from the peer handling a
response will include this nonce, allowing to correlate the ack/nack
with a specific resource.
At the moment nothing is done with the nonce when it is received. In the
future we may want to add functionality such as retries on NACKs,
depending on the class of error.

* Remove global metrics instance from grpc server tests
Preivously when alias check was removed it would not be stopped nor
cleaned up from the associated aliasChecks map.
This means that any time an alias check was deregistered we would
leak a goroutine for CheckAlias.run() because the stopCh would never
be closed.
This issue mostly affects service mesh deployments on platforms where
the client agent is mostly static but proxy services come and go
regularly, since by default sidecars are registered with an alias check.

A previous commit introduced an internally-managed server certificate
to use for peering-related purposes.
Now the peering token has been updated to match that behavior:
- The server name matches the structure of the server cert
- The CA PEMs correspond to the Connect CA
Note that if Conect is disabled, and by extension the Connect CA, we
fall back to the previous behavior of returning the manually configured
certs and local server SNI.
Several tests were updated to use the gRPC TLS port since they enable
Connect by default. This means that the peering token will embed the
Connect CA, and the dialer will expect a TLS listener.

This commit adds the xDS resources needed for INBOUND traffic from peer
clusters:
- 1 filter chain for all inbound peering requests.
- 1 cluster for all inbound peering requests.
- 1 endpoint per voting server with the gRPC TLS port configured.
There is one filter chain and cluster because unlike with WAN
federation, peer clusters will not attempt to dial individual servers.
Peer clusters will only dial the local mesh gateway addresses.
This commit adds handling so that the replication stream considers
whether the user intends to peer through mesh gateways.
The subscription will return server or mesh gateway addresses depending
on the mesh configuration setting. These watches can be updated at
runtime by modifying the mesh config entry.
* feat(ingress gateway: support configuring limits in ingress-gateway config entry

- new field max_connections, max_pending_connections, max_requests in
individual services to overwrite the value in Default
- added unit test and integration test
- updated doc

Routing peering control plane traffic through mesh gateways can be
enabled or disabled at runtime with the mesh config entry.
This commit updates proxycfg to add or cancel watches for local servers
depending on this central config.
Note that WAN federation over mesh gateways is determined by a service
metadata flag, and any updates to the gateway service registration will
force the creation of a new snapshot. If enabled, WAN-fed over mesh
gateways will trigger a local server watch on initialize().
Because of this we will only add/remove server watches if WAN federation
over mesh gateways is disabled.
Preivously the TLS configurator would default to presenting auto TLS
certificates as client certificates.
Server agents should not have this behavior and should instead present
the manually configured certs. The autoTLS certs for servers are
exclusively used for peering and should not be used as the default for
outbound communication.
This commit introduces a new ACL token used for internal server
management purposes.
It has a few key properties:
- It has unlimited permissions.
- It is persisted through Raft as System Metadata rather than in the
ACL tokens table. This is to avoid users seeing or modifying it.
- It is re-generated on leadership establishment.

Prior to #13244, connect proxies and gateways could only be configured by an
xDS session served by the local client agent.
In an upcoming release, it will be possible to deploy a Consul service mesh
without client agents. In this model, xDS sessions will be handled by the
servers themselves, which necessitates load-balancing to prevent a single
server from receiving a disproportionate amount of load and becoming
overwhelmed.
This introduces a simple form of load-balancing where Consul will attempt to
achieve an even spread of load (xDS sessions) between all healthy servers.
It does so by implementing a concurrent session limiter (limiter.SessionLimiter)
and adjusting the limit according to autopilot state and proxy service
registrations in the catalog.
If a server is already over capacity (i.e. the session limit is lowered),
Consul will begin draining sessions to rebalance the load. This will result
in the client receiving a `RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED` status code. It is the client's
responsibility to observe this response and reconnect to a different server.
Users of the gRPC client connection brokered by the
consul-server-connection-manager library will get this for free.
The rate at which Consul will drain sessions to rebalance load is scaled
dynamically based on the number of proxies in the catalog.
http.Transport keeps a pool of connections and should be reused when possible. We instantiate a new http.DefaultTransport for every metrics request, making large numbers of concurrent requests inefficiently spin up new connections instead of reusing open ones.

By adding a SpiffeID for server agents, servers can now request a leaf
certificate from the Connect CA.
This new Spiffe ID has a key property: servers are identified by their
datacenter name and trust domain. All servers that share these
attributes will share a ServerURI.
The aim is to use these certificates to verify the server name of ANY
server in a Consul datacenter.
This is the OSS portion of enterprise PR 2489.
This PR introduces a server-local implementation of the
proxycfg.InternalServiceDump interface that sources data from a blocking query
against the server's state store.
For simplicity, it only implements the subset of the Internal.ServiceDump RPC
handler actually used by proxycfg - as such the result type has been changed
to IndexedCheckServiceNodes to avoid confusion.
This is the OSS portion of enterprise PR 2460.
Introduces a server-local implementation of the proxycfg.ResolvedServiceConfig
interface that sources data from a blocking query against the server's state
store.
It moves the service config resolution logic into the agent/configentry package
so that it can be used in both the RPC handler and data source.
I've also done a little re-arranging and adding comments to call out data
sources for which there is to be no server-local equivalent.
