This is like a Möbius strip of code due to the fact that low-level components (serf/memberlist) are connected to high-level components (the catalog and mesh-gateways) in a twisty maze of references which make it hard to dive into. With that in mind here's a high level summary of what you'll find in the patch:
There are several distinct chunks of code that are affected:
* new flags and config options for the server
* retry join WAN is slightly different
* retry join code is shared to discover primary mesh gateways from secondary datacenters
* because retry join logic runs in the *agent* and the results of that
operation for primary mesh gateways are needed in the *server* there are
some methods like `RefreshPrimaryGatewayFallbackAddresses` that must occur
at multiple layers of abstraction just to pass the data down to the right
layer.
* new cache type `FederationStateListMeshGatewaysName` for use in `proxycfg/xds` layers
* the function signature for RPC dialing picked up a new required field (the
node name of the destination)
* several new RPCs for manipulating a FederationState object:
`FederationState:{Apply,Get,List,ListMeshGateways}`
* 3 read-only internal APIs for debugging use to invoke those RPCs from curl
* raft and fsm changes to persist these FederationStates
* replication for FederationStates as they are canonically stored in the
Primary and replicated to the Secondaries.
* a special derivative of anti-entropy that runs in secondaries to snapshot
their local mesh gateway `CheckServiceNodes` and sync them into their upstream
FederationState in the primary (this works in conjunction with the
replication to distribute addresses for all mesh gateways in all DCs to all
other DCs)
* a "gateway locator" convenience object to make use of this data to choose
the addresses of gateways to use for any given RPC or gossip operation to a
remote DC. This gets data from the "retry join" logic in the agent and also
directly calls into the FSM.
* RPC (`:8300`) on the server sniffs the first byte of a new connection to
determine if it's actually doing native TLS. If so it checks the ALPN header
for protocol determination (just like how the existing system uses the
type-byte marker).
* 2 new kinds of protocols are exclusively decoded via this native TLS
mechanism: one for ferrying "packet" operations (udp-like) from the gossip
layer and one for "stream" operations (tcp-like). The packet operations
re-use sockets (using length-prefixing) to cut down on TLS re-negotiation
overhead.
* the server instances specially wrap the `memberlist.NetTransport` when running
with gateway federation enabled (in a `wanfed.Transport`). The general gist is
that if it tries to dial a node in the SAME datacenter (deduced by looking
at the suffix of the node name) there is no change. If dialing a DIFFERENT
datacenter it is wrapped up in a TLS+ALPN blob and sent through some mesh
gateways to eventually end up in a server's :8300 port.
* a new flag when launching a mesh gateway via `consul connect envoy` to
indicate that the servers are to be exposed. This sets a special service
meta when registering the gateway into the catalog.
* `proxycfg/xds` notice this metadata blob to activate additional watches for
the FederationState objects as well as the location of all of the consul
servers in that datacenter.
* `xds:` if the extra metadata is in place additional clusters are defined in a
DC to bulk sink all traffic to another DC's gateways. For the current
datacenter we listen on a wildcard name (`server.<dc>.consul`) that load
balances all servers as well as one mini-cluster per node
(`<node>.server.<dc>.consul`)
* the `consul tls cert create` command got a new flag (`-node`) to help create
an additional SAN in certs that can be used with this flavor of federation.
* add 1.12.2
* add envoy 1.13.0
* Introduce -envoy-version to get 1.10.0 passing.
* update old version and fix consul-exec case
* add envoy_version and fix check
* Update Envoy CLI tests to account for the 1.13 compatibility changes.

* Adds 'limits' field to the upstream configuration of a connect proxy
This allows a user to configure the envoy connect proxy with
'max_connections', 'max_queued_requests', and 'max_concurrent_requests'. These
values are defined in the local proxy on a per-service instance basis
and should thus NOT be thought of as a global-level or even service-level value.
Failover is pushed entirely down to the data plane by creating envoy
clusters and putting each successive destination in a different load
assignment priority band. For example this shows that normally requests
go to 1.2.3.4:8080 but when that fails they go to 6.7.8.9:8080:
- name: foo
load_assignment:
cluster_name: foo
policy:
overprovisioning_factor: 100000
endpoints:
- priority: 0
lb_endpoints:
- endpoint:
address:
socket_address:
address: 1.2.3.4
port_value: 8080
- priority: 1
lb_endpoints:
- endpoint:
address:
socket_address:
address: 6.7.8.9
port_value: 8080
Mesh gateways route requests based solely on the SNI header tacked onto
the TLS layer. Envoy currently only lets you configure the outbound SNI
header at the cluster layer.
If you try to failover through a mesh gateway you ideally would
configure the SNI value per endpoint, but that's not possible in envoy
today.
This PR introduces a simpler way around the problem for now:
1. We identify any target of failover that will use mesh gateway mode local or
remote and then further isolate any resolver node in the compiled discovery
chain that has a failover destination set to one of those targets.
2. For each of these resolvers we will perform a small measurement of
comparative healths of the endpoints that come back from the health API for the
set of primary target and serial failover targets. We walk the list of targets
in order and if any endpoint is healthy we return that target, otherwise we
move on to the next target.
3. The CDS and EDS endpoints both perform the measurements in (2) for the
affected resolver nodes.
4. For CDS this measurement selects which TLS SNI field to use for the cluster
(note the cluster is always going to be named for the primary target)
5. For EDS this measurement selects which set of endpoints will populate the
cluster. Priority tiered failover is ignored.
One of the big downsides to this approach to failover is that the failover
detection and correction is going to be controlled by consul rather than
deferring that entirely to the data plane as with the prior version. This also
means that we are bound to only failover using official health signals and
cannot make use of data plane signals like outlier detection to affect
failover.
In this specific scenario the lack of data plane signals is ok because the
effectiveness is already muted by the fact that the ultimate destination
endpoints will have their data plane signals scrambled when they pass through
the mesh gateway wrapper anyway so we're not losing much.
Another related fix is that we now use the endpoint health from the
underlying service, not the health of the gateway (regardless of
failover mode).
* Allow setting the mesh gateway mode for an upstream in config files
* Add envoy integration test for mesh gateways
This necessitated many supporting changes in most of the other test cases.
Add remote mode mesh gateways integration test
The main change is that we no longer filter service instances by health,
preferring instead to render all results down into EDS endpoints in
envoy and merely label the endpoints as HEALTHY or UNHEALTHY.
When OnlyPassing is set to true we will force consul checks in a
'warning' state to render as UNHEALTHY in envoy.
Fixes#6171
Additionally:
- wait for bootstrap config entries to be applied
- run the verify container in the host's PID namespace so we can kill
envoys without mounting the docker socket
* assert that we actually send HEALTHY and UNHEALTHY endpoints down in EDS during failover
Also:
- add back an internal http endpoint to dump a compiled discovery chain for debugging purposes
Before the CompiledDiscoveryChain.IsDefault() method would test:
- is this chain just one resolver step?
- is that resolver step just the default?
But what I forgot to test:
- is that resolver step for the same service that the chain represents?
This last point is important because if you configured just one config
entry:
kind = "service-resolver"
name = "web"
redirect {
service = "other"
}
and requested the chain for "web" you'd get back a **default** resolver
for "other". In the xDS code the IsDefault() method is used to
determine if this chain is "empty". If it is then we use the
pre-discovery-chain logic that just uses data embedded in the Upstream
object (and still lets the escape hatches function).
In the example above that means certain parts of the xDS code were going
to try referencing a cluster named "web..." despite the other parts of
the xDS code maintaining clusters named "other...".
When the envoy healthy panic threshold was explicitly disabled as part
of L7 traffic management it changed how envoy decided to load balance to
endpoints in a cluster. This only matters when envoy is in "panic mode"
aka "when you have a bunch of unhealthy endpoints". Panic mode sends
traffic to unhealthy instances in certain circumstances.
Note: Prior to explicitly disabling the healthy panic threshold, the
default value is 50%.
What was happening is that the test harness was bringing up consul the
sidecars, and the service instances all at once and sometimes the
proxies wouldn't have time to be checked by consul to be labeled as
'passing' in the catalog before a round of EDS happened.
The xDS server in consul effectively queries /v1/health/connect/s2 and
gets 1 result, but that one result has a 'critical' check so the xDS
server sends back that endpoint labeled as UNHEALTHY.
Envoy sees that 100% of the endpoints in the cluster are unhealthy and
would enter panic mode and still send traffic to s2. This is why the
test suites PRIOR to disabling the healthy panic threshold worked. They
were _incorrectly_ passing.
When the healthy panic threshol is disabled, envoy never enters panic
mode in this situation and thus the cluster has zero healthy endpoints
so load balancing goes nowhere and the tests fail.
Why does this only affect the test suites for envoy 1.8.0? My guess is
that https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/pull/4442 was merged into the
1.9.x series and somehow that plays a role.
This PR modifies the bats scripts to explicitly wait until the upstream
sidecar is healthy as measured by /v1/health/connect/s2?passing BEFORE
trying to interrogate envoy which should make the tests less racy.
* Make exec test assert Envoy version - it was not rebuilding before and so often ran against wrong version. This makes 1.10 fail consistenty.
* Switch Envoy exec to use a named pipe rather than FD magic since Envoy 1.10 doesn't support that.
* Refactor to use an internal shim command for piping the bootstrap through.
* Fmt. So sad that vscode golang fails so often these days.
* go mod tidy
* revert go mod tidy changes
* Revert "ignore consul-exec tests until fixed (#5986)"
This reverts commit 683262a6869033cb79e68fa1dba0f9ea83e9187d.
* Review cleanups
* Make central conf test work when run in a suite.
This switches integration tests to hard restart Consul each time which causes less surpise when some tests need to set configs that don't work on consul reload. This also increases the isolation and repeatability of the tests by dropping Consul's state entirely for each case run.
* Remove aborted attempt to make restart optional.
* Add integration test for central config; fix central config WIP
* Add integration test for central config; fix central config WIP
* Set proxy protocol correctly and begin adding upstream support
* Add upstreams to service config cache key and start new notify watcher if they change.
This doesn't update the tests to pass though.
* Fix some merging logic get things working manually with a hack (TODO fix properly)
* Simplification to not allow enabling sidecars centrally - it makes no sense without upstreams anyway
* Test compile again and obvious ones pass. Lots of failures locally not debugged yet but may be flakes. Pushing up to see what CI does
