Extend Consul’s intentions model to allow for request-based access control enforcement for HTTP-like protocols in addition to the existing connection-based enforcement for unspecified protocols (e.g. tcp).
- Upgrade the ConfigEntry.ListAll RPC to be kind-aware so that older
copies of consul will not see new config entries it doesn't understand
replicate down.
- Add shim conversion code so that the old API/CLI method of interacting
with intentions will continue to work so long as none of these are
edited via config entry endpoints. Almost all of the read-only APIs will
continue to function indefinitely.
- Add new APIs that operate on individual intentions without IDs so that
the UI doesn't need to implement CAS operations.
- Add a new serf feature flag indicating support for
intentions-as-config-entries.
- The old line-item intentions way of interacting with the state store
will transparently flip between the legacy memdb table and the config
entry representations so that readers will never see a hiccup during
migration where the results are incomplete. It uses a piece of system
metadata to control the flip.
- The primary datacenter will begin migrating intentions into config
entries on startup once all servers in the datacenter are on a version
of Consul with the intentions-as-config-entries feature flag. When it is
complete the old state store representations will be cleared. We also
record a piece of system metadata indicating this has occurred. We use
this metadata to skip ALL of this code the next time the leader starts
up.
- The secondary datacenters continue to run the old intentions
replicator until all servers in the secondary DC and primary DC support
intentions-as-config-entries (via serf flag). Once this condition it met
the old intentions replicator ceases.
- The secondary datacenters replicate the new config entries as they are
migrated in the primary. When they detect that the primary has zeroed
it's old state store table it waits until all config entries up to that
point are replicated and then zeroes its own copy of the old state store
table. We also record a piece of system metadata indicating this has
occurred. We use this metadata to skip ALL of this code the next time
the leader starts up.
With this change, Agent.New() accepts many of the dependencies instead
of creating them in New. Accepting fully constructed dependencies from
a constructor makes the type easier to test, and easier to change.
There are still a number of dependencies created in Start() which can
be addressed in a follow up.
When consul is restarted and an envoy that had already sent
DiscoveryRequests to the previous consul process sends a request to the
new process it doesn't respect the setting and never populates
DiscoveryRequest.Node for the life of the new consul process due to this
bug: https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/issues/9682Fixes#8430
Now that it is no longer used, we can remove this unnecessary field. This is a pre-step in cleanup up RuntimeConfig->Consul.Config, which is a pre-step to adding a gRPCHandler component to Server for streaming.
Removing this field also allows us to remove one of the return values from logging.Setup.
Related changes:
- hard-fail the xDS connection attempt if the envoy version is known to be too old to be supported
- remove the RouterMatchSafeRegex proxy feature since all supported envoy versions have it
- stop using --max-obj-name-len (due to: envoyproxy/envoy#11740)
Previously, the envoy bootstrap config would blindly copy the self_admin
cluster into the list of static clusters when configuring either
ReadyBindAddr, PrometheusBindAddr, or StatsBindAddr.
Since ingress gateways always configure the ReadyBindAddr property,
users ran into this case much more often than previously.
This provides a user with a better experience, knowing that the command
worked appropriately. The output of the write/delete CLI commands are
not going to be used in a bash script, in fact previously a success
provided no ouput, so we do not have to worry about spurious text being
injected into bash pipelines.
Highlights:
- add new endpoint to query for intentions by exact match
- using this endpoint from the CLI instead of the dump+filter approach
- enforcing that OSS can only read/write intentions with a SourceNS or
DestinationNS field of "default".
- preexisting OSS intentions with now-invalid namespace fields will
delete those intentions on initial election or for wildcard namespaces
an attempt will be made to downgrade them to "default" unless one
exists.
- also allow the '-namespace' CLI arg on all of the intention subcommands
- update lots of docs
There are a couple of things in here.
First, just like auto encrypt, any Cluster.AutoConfig RPC will implicitly use the less secure RPC mechanism.
This drastically modifies how the Consul Agent starts up and moves most of the responsibilities (other than signal handling) from the cli command and into the Agent.
All commands which read config (agent, services, and validate) will now
print warnings when one of the config files is skipped because it did
not match an expected format.
Also ensures that config validate prints all warnings.
A Node Identity is very similar to a service identity. Its main targeted use is to allow creating tokens for use by Consul agents that will grant the necessary permissions for all the typical agent operations (node registration, coordinate updates, anti-entropy).
Half of this commit is for golden file based tests of the acl token and role cli output. Another big updates was to refactor many of the tests in agent/consul/acl_endpoint_test.go to use the same style of tests and the same helpers. Besides being less boiler plate in the tests it also uses a common way of starting a test server with ACLs that should operate without any warnings regarding deprecated non-uuid master tokens etc.
The nil value was never used. We can avoid a bunch of complications by
making the field a string value instead of a pointer.
This change is in preparation for fixing a silent config failure.
Flags is an overloaded term in this context. It generally is used to
refer to command line flags. This struct, however, is a data object
used as input to the construction.
It happens to be partially populated by command line flags, but
otherwise has very little to do with them.
Renaming this struct should make the actual responsibility of this struct
more obvious, and remove the possibility that it is confused with
command line flags.
This change is in preparation for adding additional fields to
BuilderOpts.
This field was populated for one reason, to test that it was empty.
Of all the callers, only a single one used this functionality. The rest
constructed a `Flags{}` struct which did not set Args.
I think this shows that the logic was in the wrong place. Only the agent
command needs to care about validating the args.
This commit removes the field, and moves the logic to the one caller
that cares.
Also fix some comments.
