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.
By changing to use WatchCtx we will actually block for changes to the peering list. WatchCh creates a goroutine to collect errors from WatchCtx and returns immediately.
The existing behavior wouldn't result in a tight loop because of the rate limiting in the surrounding function, but it would still lead to more work than is necessary.
