Prior to this commit, all peer services were transmitted as connect-enabled
as long as a one or more mesh-gateways were healthy. With this change, there
is now a difference between typical services and connect services transmitted
via peering.
A service will be reported as "connect-enabled" as long as any of these
conditions are met:
1. a connect-proxy sidecar is registered for the service name.
2. a connect-native instance of the service is registered.
3. a service resolver / splitter / router is registered for the service name.
4. a terminating gateway has registered the service.
Protobuf Refactoring for Multi-Module Cleanliness
This commit includes the following:
Moves all packages that were within proto/ to proto/private
Rewrites imports to account for the packages being moved
Adds in buf.work.yaml to enable buf workspaces
Names the proto-public buf module so that we can override the Go package imports within proto/buf.yaml
Bumps the buf version dependency to 1.14.0 (I was trying out the version to see if it would get around an issue - it didn't but it also doesn't break things and it seemed best to keep up with the toolchain changes)
Why:
In the future we will need to consume other protobuf dependencies such as the Google HTTP annotations for openapi generation or grpc-gateway usage.
There were some recent changes to have our own ratelimiting annotations.
The two combined were not working when I was trying to use them together (attempting to rebase another branch)
Buf workspaces should be the solution to the problem
Buf workspaces means that each module will have generated Go code that embeds proto file names relative to the proto dir and not the top level repo root.
This resulted in proto file name conflicts in the Go global protobuf type registry.
The solution to that was to add in a private/ directory into the path within the proto/ directory.
That then required rewriting all the imports.
Is this safe?
AFAICT yes
The gRPC wire protocol doesn't seem to care about the proto file names (although the Go grpc code does tack on the proto file name as Metadata in the ServiceDesc)
Other than imports, there were no changes to any generated code as a result of this.
* 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
Peerings are terminated when a peer decides to delete the peering from
their end. Deleting a peering sends a termination message to the peer
and triggers them to mark the peering as terminated but does NOT delete
the peering itself. This is to prevent peerings from disappearing from
both sides just because one side deleted them.
Previously the Delete endpoint was skipping the deletion if the peering
was not marked as active. However, terminated peerings are also
inactive.
This PR makes some updates so that peerings marked as terminated can be
deleted by users.
We need to watch for changes to peerings and update the server addresses which get served by the ring buffer.
Also, if there is an active connection for a peer, we are getting up-to-date server addresses from the replication stream and can safely ignore the token's addresses which may be stale.
Previously establishment and pending secrets were only checked at the
RPC layer. However, given that these are Check-and-Set transactions we
should ensure that the given secrets are still valid when persisting a
secret exchange or promotion.
Otherwise it would be possible for concurrent requests to overwrite each
other.
Previously there was a field indicating the operation that triggered a
secrets write. Now there is a message for each operation and it contains
the secret ID being persisted.
Previously the updates to the peering secrets UUID table relied on
inferring what action triggered the update based on a reconciliation
against the existing secrets.
Instead we now explicitly require the operation to be given so that the
inference isn't necessary. This makes the UUID table logic easier to
reason about and fixes some related bugs.
There is also an update so that the peering secrets get handled on
snapshots/restores.
Dialers do not keep track of peering secret UUIDs, so they should not
attempt to clean up data from that table when their peering is deleted.
We also now keep peer server addresses when marking peerings for
deletion. Peer server addresses are used by the ShouldDial() helper
when determining whether the peering is for a dialer or an acceptor.
We need to keep this data so that peering secrets can be cleaned up
accordingly.
Because peerings are pairwise, between two tuples of (datacenter,
partition) having any exported reference via a discovery chain that
crosses out of the peered datacenter or partition will ultimately not be
able to work for various reasons. The biggest one is that there is no
way in the ultimate destination to configure an intention that can allow
an external SpiffeID to access a service.
This PR ensures that a user simply cannot do this, so they won't run
into weird situations like this.
These changes are primarily for Consul's UI, where we want to be more
specific about the state a peering is in.
- The "initial" state was renamed to pending, and no longer applies to
peerings being established from a peering token.
- Upon request to establish a peering from a peering token, peerings
will be set as "establishing". This will help distinguish between the
two roles: the cluster that generates the peering token and the
cluster that establishes the peering.
- When marked for deletion, peering state will be set to "deleting".
This way the UI determines the deletion via the state rather than the
"DeletedAt" field.

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
We have many indexer functions in Consul which take interface{} and type assert before building the index. We can use generics to get rid of the initial plumbing and pass around functions with better defined signatures. This has two benefits: 1) Less verbosity; 2) Developers can parse the argument types to memdb schemas without having to introspect the function for the type assertion.
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.
1. Fix a bug where the peering leader routine would not track all active
peerings in the "stored" reconciliation map. This could lead to
tearing down streams where the token was generated, since the
ConnectedStreams() method used for reconciliation returns all streams
and not just the ones initiated by this leader routine.
2. Fix a race where stream contexts were being canceled before
termination messages were being processed by a peer.
Previously the leader routine would tear down streams by canceling
their context right after the termination message was sent. This
context cancelation could be propagated to the server side faster
than the termination message. Now there is a change where the
dialing peer uses CloseSend() to signal when no more messages will
be sent. Eventually the server peer will read an EOF after receiving
and processing the preceding termination message.
Using CloseSend() is actually not enough to address the issue
mentioned, since it doesn't wait for the server peer to finish
processing messages. Because of this now the dialing peer also reads
from the stream until an error signals that there are no more
messages. Receiving an EOF from our peer indicates that they
processed the termination message and have no additional work to do.
Given that the stream is being closed, all the messages received by
Recv are discarded. We only check for errors to avoid importing new
data.
When deleting a peering we do not want to delete the peering and all
imported data in a single operation, since deleting a large amount of
data at once could overload Consul.
Instead we defer deletion of peerings so that:
1. When a peering deletion request is received via gRPC the peering is
marked for deletion by setting the DeletedAt field.
2. A leader routine will monitor for peerings that are marked for
deletion and kick off a throttled deletion of all imported resources
before deleting the peering itself.
This commit mostly addresses point #1 by modifying the peering service
to mark peerings for deletion. Another key change is to add a
PeeringListDeleted state store function which can return all peerings
marked for deletion. This function is what will be watched by the
deferred deletion leader routine.
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.
There are a handful of changes in this commit:
* When querying trust bundles for a service we need to be able to
specify the namespace of the service.
* The endpoint needs to track the index because the cache watches use
it.
* Extracted bulk of the endpoint's logic to a state store function
so that index tracking could be tested more easily.
* Removed check for service existence, deferring that sort of work to ACL authz
* Added the cache type
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.
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.
