Add a new envoy flag: "envoy_hcp_metrics_bind_socket_dir", a directory
where a unix socket will be created with the name
`<namespace>_<proxy_id>.sock` to forward Envoy metrics.
If set, this will configure:
- In bootstrap configuration a local stats_sink and static cluster.
These will forward metrics to a loopback listener sent over xDS.
- A dynamic listener listening at the socket path that the previously
defined static cluster is sending metrics to.
- A dynamic cluster that will forward traffic received at this listener
to the hcp-metrics-collector service.
Reasons for having a static cluster pointing at a dynamic listener:
- We want to secure the metrics stream using TLS, but the stats sink can
only be defined in bootstrap config. With dynamic listeners/clusters
we can use the proxy's leaf certificate issued by the Connect CA,
which isn't available at bootstrap time.
- We want to intelligently route to the HCP collector. Configuring its
addreess at bootstrap time limits our flexibility routing-wise. More
on this below.
Reasons for defining the collector as an upstream in `proxycfg`:
- The HCP collector will be deployed as a mesh service.
- Certificate management is taken care of, as mentioned above.
- Service discovery and routing logic is automatically taken care of,
meaning that no code changes are required in the xds package.
- Custom routing rules can be added for the collector using discovery
chain config entries. Initially the collector is expected to be
deployed to each admin partition, but in the future could be deployed
centrally in the default partition. These config entries could even be
managed by HCP itself.
This is the OSS portion of enterprise PR 2141.
This commit provides a server-local implementation of the `proxycfg.Intentions`
interface that sources data from streaming events.
It adds events for the `service-intentions` config entry type, and then consumes
event streams (via materialized views) for the service's explicit intentions and
any applicable wildcard intentions, merging them into a single list of intentions.
An alternative approach I considered was to consume _all_ intention events (via
`SubjectWildcard`) and filter out the irrelevant ones. This would admittedly
remove some complexity in the `agent/proxycfg-glue` package but at the expense
of considerable overhead from waking potentially many thousands of connect
proxies every time any intention is updated.
This is the OSS portion of enterprise PR 1994
Rather than directly interrogating the agent-local state for HTTP
checks using the `HTTPCheckFetcher` interface, we now rely on the
config snapshot containing the checks.
This reduces the number of changes required to support server xDS
sessions.
It's not clear why the fetching approach was introduced in
931d167ebb2300839b218d08871f22323c60175d.
OSS portion of enterprise PR 1857.
This removes (most) references to the `cache.UpdateEvent` type in the
`proxycfg` package.
As we're going to be direct usage of the agent cache with interfaces that
can be satisfied by alternative server-local datasources, it doesn't make
sense to depend on this type everywhere anymore (particularly on the
`state.ch` channel).
We also plan to extract `proxycfg` out of Consul into a shared library in
the future, which would require removing this dependency.
Aside from a fairly rote find-and-replace, the main change is that the
`cache.Cache` and `health.Client` types now accept a callback function
parameter, rather than a `chan<- cache.UpdateEvents`. This allows us to
do the type conversion without running another goroutine.
- `tls.incoming`: applies to the inbound mTLS targeting the public
listener on `connect-proxy` and `terminating-gateway` envoy instances
- `tls.outgoing`: applies to the outbound mTLS dialing upstreams from
`connect-proxy` and `ingress-gateway` envoy instances
Fixes#11966
Prior to this PR for the envoy xDS golden tests in the agent/xds package we
were hand-creating a proxycfg.ConfigSnapshot structure in the proper format for
input to the xDS generator. Over time this intermediate structure has gotten
trickier to build correctly for the various tests.
This PR proposes to switch to using the existing mechanism for turning a
structs.NodeService and a sequence of cache.UpdateEvent copies into a
proxycfg.ConfigSnapshot, as that is less error prone to construct and aligns
more with how the data arrives.
NOTE: almost all of this is in test-related code. I tried super hard to craft
correct event inputs to get the golden files to be the same, or similar enough
after construction to feel ok that i recreated the spirit of the original test
cases.
