* Protobuf Modernization
Remove direct usage of golang/protobuf in favor of google.golang.org/protobuf
Marshallers (protobuf and json) needed some changes to account for different APIs.
Moved to using the google.golang.org/protobuf/types/known/* for the well known types including replacing some custom Struct manipulation with whats available in the structpb well known type package.
This also updates our devtools script to install protoc-gen-go from the right location so that files it generates conform to the correct interfaces.
* Fix go-mod-tidy make target to work on all modules
This gets the extensions information for the local service into the snapshot and ExtensionConfigurations for a proxy. It grabs the extensions from config entries and puts them in structs.NodeService.Proxy field, which already is copied into the config snapshot.
Also:
* add EnvoyExtensions to api.AgentService so that it matches structs.NodeService
* extensions: refactor PluginConfiguration into a more generic type
ExtensionConfiguration
Also:
* adds endpoints configuration to lambda golden tests
* uses string constant for builtin/aws/lambda

Co-authored-by: Eric Haberkorn <erichaberkorn@gmail.com>
There are a few changes that needed to be made to to handle authorizing
reads for imported data:
- If the data was imported from a peer we should not attempt to read the
data using the traditional authz rules. This is because the name of
services/nodes in a peer cluster are not equivalent to those of the
importing cluster.
- If the data was imported from a peer we need to check whether the
token corresponds to a service, meaning that it has service:write
permissions, or to a local read only token that can read all
nodes/services in a namespace.
This required changes at the policyAuthorizer level, since that is the
only view available to OSS Consul, and at the enterprise
partition/namespace level.
* Fix mesh gateway proxy-defaults not affecting upstreams.
* Clarify distinction with upstream settings
Top-level mesh gateway mode in proxy-defaults and service-defaults gets
merged into NodeService.Proxy.MeshGateway, and only gets merged with
the mode attached to an an upstream in proxycfg/xds.
* Fix mgw mode usage for peered upstreams
There were a couple issues with how mgw mode was being handled for
peered upstreams.
For starters, mesh gateway mode from proxy-defaults
and the top-level of service-defaults gets stored in
NodeService.Proxy.MeshGateway, but the upstream watch for peered data
was only considering the mesh gateway config attached in
NodeService.Proxy.Upstreams[i]. This means that applying a mesh gateway
mode via global proxy-defaults or service-defaults on the downstream
would not have an effect.
Separately, transparent proxy watches for peered upstreams didn't
consider mesh gateway mode at all.
This commit addresses the first issue by ensuring that we overlay the
upstream config for peered upstreams as we do for non-peered. The second
issue is addressed by re-using setupWatchesForPeeredUpstream when
handling transparent proxy updates.
Note that for transparent proxies we do not yet support mesh gateway
mode per upstream, so the NodeService.Proxy.MeshGateway mode is used.
* Fix upstream mesh gateway mode handling in xds
This commit ensures that when determining the mesh gateway mode for
peered upstreams we consider the NodeService.Proxy.MeshGateway config as
a baseline.
In absense of this change, setting a mesh gateway mode via
proxy-defaults or the top-level of service-defaults will not have an
effect for peered upstreams.
* Merge service/proxy defaults in cfg resolver
Previously the mesh gateway mode for connect proxies would be
merged at three points:
1. On servers, in ComputeResolvedServiceConfig.
2. On clients, in MergeServiceConfig.
3. On clients, in proxycfg/xds.
The first merge returns a ServiceConfigResponse where there is a
top-level MeshGateway config from proxy/service-defaults, along with
per-upstream config.
The second merge combines per-upstream config specified at the service
instance with per-upstream config specified centrally.
The third merge combines the NodeService.Proxy.MeshGateway
config containing proxy/service-defaults data with the per-upstream
mode. This third merge is easy to miss, which led to peered upstreams
not considering the mesh gateway mode from proxy-defaults.
This commit removes the third merge, and ensures that all mesh gateway
config is available at the upstream. This way proxycfg/xds do not need
to do additional overlays.
* Ensure that proxy-defaults is considered in wc
Upstream defaults become a synthetic Upstream definition under a
wildcard key "*". Now that proxycfg/xds expect Upstream definitions to
have the final MeshGateway values, this commit ensures that values from
proxy-defaults/service-defaults are the default for this synthetic
upstream.
* Add changelog.

Re-add ServerExternalAddresses parameter in GenerateToken endpoint
This reverts commit 5e156772f6a7fba5324eb6804ae4e93c091229a6
and adds extra functionality to support newer peering behaviors.
Fix an issue where rpc_hold_timeout was being used as the timeout for non-blocking queries. Users should be able to tune read timeouts without fiddling with rpc_hold_timeout. A new configuration `rpc_read_timeout` is created.
Refactor some implementation from the original PR 11500 to remove the misleading linkage between RPCInfo's timeout (used to retry in case of certain modes of failures) and the client RPC timeouts.
Replaces the reflection-based implementation of proxycfg's
ConfigSnapshot.Clone with code generated by deep-copy.
While load testing server-based xDS (for consul-dataplane) we discovered
this method is extremely expensive. The ConfigSnapshot struct, directly
or indirectly, contains a copy of many of the structs in the agent/structs
package, which creates a large graph for copystructure.Copy to traverse
at runtime, on every proxy reconfiguration.
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.
* feat(ingress gateway: support configuring limits in ingress-gateway config entry
- a new Defaults field with max_connections, max_pending_connections, max_requests
is added to 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

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.

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.

Consul 1.13.0 changed ServiceVirtualIP to use PeeredServiceName instead of ServiceName which was a breaking change for those using service mesh and wanted to restore their snapshot after upgrading to 1.13.0.
This commit handles existing data with older ServiceName and converts it during restore so that there are no issues when restoring from older snapshots.
This commit adds a new ACL rule named "peering" to authorize
actions taken against peering-related endpoints.
The "peering" rule has several key properties:
- It is scoped to a partition, and MUST be defined in the default
namespace.
- Its access level must be "read', "write", or "deny".
- Granting an access level will apply to all peerings. This ACL rule
cannot be used to selective grant access to some peerings but not
others.
- If the peering rule is not specified, we fall back to the "operator"
rule and then the default ACL rule.
This is the OSS portion of enterprise PR 2157.
It builds on the local blocking query work in #13438 to implement the
proxycfg.IntentionUpstreams interface using server-local data.
Also moves the ACL filtering logic from agent/consul into the acl/filter
package so that it can be reused here.
For initial cluster peering TProxy support we consider all imported services of a partition to be potential upstreams.
We leverage the VirtualIP table because it stores plain service names (e.g. "api", not "api-sidecar-proxy").
When traversing an exported peered service, the discovery chain
evaluation at the other side may re-route the request to a variety of
endpoints. Furthermore we intend to terminate mTLS at the mesh gateway
for arriving peered traffic that is http-like (L7), so the caller needs
to know the mesh gateway's SpiffeID in that case as well.
The following new SpiffeID values will be shipped back in the peerstream
replication:
- tcp: all possible SpiffeIDs resulting from the service-resolver
component of the exported discovery chain
- http-like: the SpiffeID of the mesh gateway
Having this type live in the agent/consul package makes it difficult to
put anything that relies on token resolution (e.g. the new gRPC services)
in separate packages without introducing import cycles.
For example, if package foo imports agent/consul for the ACLResolveResult
type it means that agent/consul cannot import foo to register its service.
We've previously worked around this by wrapping the ACLResolver to
"downgrade" its return type to an acl.Authorizer - aside from the
added complexity, this also loses the resolved identity information.
In the future, we may want to move the whole ACLResolver into the
acl/resolver package. For now, putting the result type there at least,
fixes the immediate import cycle issues.
This is only configured in xDS when a service with an L7 protocol is
exported.
They also load any relevant trust bundles for the peered services to
eventually use for L7 SPIFFE validation during mTLS termination.
Adds the merge-central-config query param option to the /catalog/node-services/:node-name API,
to get a service definition in the response that is merged with central defaults (proxy-defaults/service-defaults).
Updated the consul connect envoy command to use this option when
retrieving the proxy service details so as to render the bootstrap configuration correctly.

Mesh gateways will now enable tcp connections with SNI names including peering information so that those connections may be proxied.
Note: this does not change the callers to use these mesh gateways.
Given that the exported-services config entry can use wildcards, the
precedence for wildcards is handled as with intentions. The most exact
match is the match that applies for any given service. We do not take
the union of all that apply.
Another update that was made was to reflect that only one
exported-services config entry applies to any given service in a
partition. This is a pre-existing constraint that gets enforced by
the Normalize() method on that config entry type.

OSS port of enterprise PR 1822
Includes the necessary changes to the `proxycfg` and `xds` packages to enable
Consul servers to configure arbitrary proxies using catalog data.
Broadly, `proxycfg.Manager` now has public methods for registering,
deregistering, and listing registered proxies — the existing local agent
state-sync behavior has been moved into a separate component that makes use of
these methods.
When an xDS session is started for a proxy service in the catalog, a goroutine
will be spawned to watch the service in the server's state store and
re-register it with the `proxycfg.Manager` whenever it is updated (and clean
it up when the client goes away).
Adds a new query param merge-central-config for use with the below endpoints:
/catalog/service/:service
/catalog/connect/:service
/health/service/:service
/health/connect/:service
If set on the request, the response will include a fully resolved service definition which is merged with the proxy-defaults/global and service-defaults/:service config entries (on-demand style). This is useful to view the full service definition for a mesh service (connect-proxy kind or gateway kind) which might not be merged before being written into the catalog (example: in case of services in the agentless model).
The importing peer will need to know what SNI and SPIFFE name
corresponds to each exported service. Additionally it will need to know
at a high level the protocol in use (L4/L7) to generate the appropriate
connection pool and local metrics.
For replicated connect synthetic entities we edit the `Connect{}` part
of a `NodeService` to have a new section:
{
"PeerMeta": {
"SNI": [
"web.default.default.owt.external.183150d5-1033-3672-c426-c29205a576b8.consul"
],
"SpiffeID": [
"spiffe://183150d5-1033-3672-c426-c29205a576b8.consul/ns/default/dc/dc1/svc/web"
],
"Protocol": "tcp"
}
}
This data is then replicated and saved as-is at the importing side. Both
SNI and SpiffeID are slices for now until I can be sure we don't need
them for how mesh gateways will ultimately work.
Treat each exported service as a "discovery chain" and replicate one
synthetic CheckServiceNode for each chain and remote mesh gateway.
The health will be a flattened generated check of the checks for that
mesh gateway node.
