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.
We set RawToString=true so that []uint8 => string when decoding an interface{}.
We set the MapType so that map[interface{}]interface{} decodes to map[string]interface{}.
Add tests to ensure that this doesn't break existing usages.

Currently when using the built-in CA provider for Connect, root certificates are valid for 10 years, however secondary DCs get intermediates that are valid for only 1 year. There is no mechanism currently short of rotating the root in the primary that will cause the secondary DCs to renew their intermediates.
This PR adds a check that renews the cert if it is half way through its validity period.
In order to be able to test these changes, a new configuration option was added: IntermediateCertTTL which is set extremely low in the tests.
* Use consts for well known tagged adress keys
* Add ipv4 and ipv6 tagged addresses for node lan and wan
* Add ipv4 and ipv6 tagged addresses for service lan and wan

* Renamed structs.IntentionWildcard to structs.WildcardSpecifier
* Refactor ACL Config
Get rid of remnants of enterprise only renaming.
Add a WildcardName field for specifying what string should be used to indicate a wildcard.

For read operations they can call anyAllowed to determine if any read access to the given resource would be granted.
For write operations they can call allAllowed to ensure that write access is granted to everything.
* Make v1/agent/connect/authorize namespace aware
* Update intention ACL enforcement
This also changes how intention:read is granted. Before the Intention.List RPC would allow viewing an intention if the token had intention:read on the destination. However Intention.Match allowed viewing if access was allowed for either the source or dest side. Now Intention.List and Intention.Get fall in line with Intention.Matches previous behavior.
Due to this being done a few different places ACL enforcement for a singular intention is now done with the CanRead and CanWrite methods on the intention itself.
* Refactor Intention.Apply to make things easier to follow.
• Renamed EnterpriseACLConfig to just Config
• Removed chained_authorizer_oss.go as it was empty
• Renamed acl.go to errors.go to more closely describe its contents
Ensure we close the Sentinel Evaluator so as not to leak go routines

Main Changes:
• method signature updates everywhere to account for passing around enterprise meta.
• populate the EnterpriseAuthorizerContext for all ACL related authorizations.
• ACL resource listings now operate like the catalog or kv listings in that the returned entries are filtered down to what the token is allowed to see. With Namespaces its no longer all or nothing.
• Modified the acl.Policy parsing to abstract away basic decoding so that enterprise can do it slightly differently. Also updated method signatures so that when parsing a policy it can take extra ent metadata to use during rules validation and policy creation.
Secondary Changes:
• Moved protobuf encoding functions out of the agentpb package to eliminate circular dependencies.
• Added custom JSON unmarshalers for a few ACL resource types (to support snake case and to get rid of mapstructure)
• AuthMethod validator cache is now an interface as these will be cached per-namespace for Consul Enterprise.
• Added checks for policy/role link existence at the RPC API so we don’t push the request through raft to have it fail internally.
• Forward ACL token delete request to the primary datacenter when the secondary DC doesn’t have the token.
• Added a bunch of ACL test helpers for inserting ACL resource test data.
* ACL Authorizer overhaul
To account for upcoming features every Authorization function can now take an extra *acl.EnterpriseAuthorizerContext. These are unused in OSS and will always be nil.
Additionally the acl package has received some thorough refactoring to enable all of the extra Consul Enterprise specific authorizations including moving sentinel enforcement into the stubbed structs. The Authorizer funcs now return an acl.EnforcementDecision instead of a boolean. This improves the overall interface as it makes multiple Authorizers easily chainable as they now indicate whether they had an authoritative decision or should use some other defaults. A ChainedAuthorizer was added to handle this Authorizer enforcement chain and will never itself return a non-authoritative decision.
* Include stub for extra enterprise rules in the global management policy
* Allow for an upgrade of the global-management policy
A check may be set to become passing/critical only if a specified number of successive
checks return passing/critical in a row. Status will stay identical as before until
the threshold is reached.
This feature is available for HTTP, TCP, gRPC, Docker & Monitor checks.
This fixes an issue where leaf certificates issued in secondary
datacenters would be reissued very frequently (every ~20 seconds)
because the logic meant to detect root rotation was errantly triggering
because a hash of the ultimate root (in the primary) was being compared
against a hash of the local intermediate root (in the secondary) and
always failing.
In a previous PR I made it so that we had interfaces that would work enough to allow blockingQueries to work. However to complete this we need all fields to be settable and gettable.
Notes:
• If Go ever gets contracts/generics then we could get rid of all the Getters/Setters
• protoc / protoc-gen-gogo are going to generate all the getters for us.
• I copied all the getters/setters from the protobuf funcs into agent/structs/protobuf_compat.go
• Also added JSON marshaling funcs that use jsonpb for protobuf types.
Fixes: #5396
This PR adds a proxy configuration stanza called expose. These flags register
listeners in Connect sidecar proxies to allow requests to specific HTTP paths from outside of the node. This allows services to protect themselves by only
listening on the loopback interface, while still accepting traffic from non
Connect-enabled services.
Under expose there is a boolean checks flag that would automatically expose all
registered HTTP and gRPC check paths.
This stanza also accepts a paths list to expose individual paths. The primary
use case for this functionality would be to expose paths for third parties like
Prometheus or the kubelet.
Listeners for requests to exposed paths are be configured dynamically at run
time. Any time a proxy, or check can be registered, a listener can also be
created.
In this initial implementation requests to these paths are not
authenticated/encrypted.
* Add build system support for protobuf generation
This is done generically so that we don’t have to keep updating the makefile to add another proto generation.
Note: anything not in the vendor directory and with a .proto extension will be run through protoc if the corresponding namespace.pb.go file is not up to date.
If you want to rebuild just a single proto file you can do so with: make proto-rebuild PROTOFILES=<list of proto files to rebuild>
Providing the PROTOFILES var will override the default behavior of finding all the .proto files.
* Start adding types to the agent/proto package
These will be needed for some other work and are by no means comprehensive.
* Add ability to resolve/fixup the agentpb.ACLLinks structure in the state store.
* Use protobuf marshalling of raft requests instead of msgpack for protoc generated types.
This does not change any encoding of existing types.
* Removed structs package automatically encoding with protobuf marshalling
Instead the caller of raftApply that wants to opt-in to protobuf encoding will have to call `raftApplyProtobuf`
* Run update-vendor to fixup modules.txt
Nothing changed as far as dependencies go but the ordering of modules in that file depends on the time they are first seen and its not alphabetical.
* Rename some things and implement the structs.RPCInfo interface bits
agentpb.QueryOptions and agentpb.WriteRequest implement 3 of the 4 RPCInfo funcs and the new TargetDatacenter message type implements the fourth.
* Use the right encoding function.
* Renamed agent/proto package to agent/agentpb to prevent package name conflicts
* Update modules.txt to fix ordering
* Change blockingQuery to take in interfaces for the query options and meta
* Add %T to error output.
* Add/Update some comments
Compiling this will set an optional SNI field on each DiscoveryTarget.
When set this value should be used for TLS connections to the instances
of the target. If not set the default should be used.
Setting ExternalSNI will disable mesh gateway use for that target. It also
disables several service-resolver features that do not make sense for an
external service.
If the entry is updated for reasons other than protocol it is surprising
that the value is explicitly persisted as 'tcp' rather than leaving it
empty and letting it fall back dynamically on the proxy-defaults value.
Add parameter local-only to operator keyring list requests to force queries to only hit local servers (no WAN traffic).
HTTP API: GET /operator/keyring?local-only=true
CLI: consul keyring -list --local-only
Sending the local-only flag with any non-GET/list request will result in an error.
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).
In addition to exposing compilation over the API cleaned up the structures that would be exchanged to be cleaner and easier to support and understand.
Also removed ability to configure the envoy OverprovisioningFactor.
This should make them better for sending over RPC or the API.
Instead of a chain implemented explicitly like a linked list (nodes
holding pointers to other nodes) instead switch to a flat map of named
nodes with nodes linking other other nodes by name. The shipped
structure is just a map and a string to indicate which key to start
from.
Other changes:
* inline the compiler option InferDefaults as true
* introduce compiled target config to avoid needing to send back
additional maps of Resolvers; future target-specific compiled state
can go here
* move compiled MeshGateway out of the Resolver and into the
TargetConfig where it makes more sense.
* connect: reconcile how upstream configuration works with discovery chains
The following upstream config fields for connect sidecars sanely
integrate into discovery chain resolution:
- Destination Namespace/Datacenter: Compilation occurs locally but using
different default values for namespaces and datacenters. The xDS
clusters that are created are named as they normally would be.
- Mesh Gateway Mode (single upstream): If set this value overrides any
value computed for any resolver for the entire discovery chain. The xDS
clusters that are created may be named differently (see below).
- Mesh Gateway Mode (whole sidecar): If set this value overrides any
value computed for any resolver for the entire discovery chain. If this
is specifically overridden for a single upstream this value is ignored
in that case. The xDS clusters that are created may be named differently
(see below).
- Protocol (in opaque config): If set this value overrides the value
computed when evaluating the entire discovery chain. If the normal chain
would be TCP or if this override is set to TCP then the result is that
we explicitly disable L7 Routing and Splitting. The xDS clusters that
are created may be named differently (see below).
- Connect Timeout (in opaque config): If set this value overrides the
value for any resolver in the entire discovery chain. The xDS clusters
that are created may be named differently (see below).
If any of the above overrides affect the actual result of compiling the
discovery chain (i.e. "tcp" becomes "grpc" instead of being a no-op
override to "tcp") then the relevant parameters are hashed and provided
to the xDS layer as a prefix for use in naming the Clusters. This is to
ensure that if one Upstream discovery chain has no overrides and
tangentially needs a cluster named "api.default.XXX", and another
Upstream does have overrides for "api.default.XXX" that they won't
cross-pollinate against the operator's wishes.
Fixes#6159
* connect: validate upstreams and prevent duplicates
* Actually run Upstream.Validate() instead of ignoring it as dead code.
* Prevent two upstreams from declaring the same bind address and port.
It wouldn't work anyway.
* Prevent two upstreams from being declared that use the same
type+name+namespace+datacenter. Due to how the Upstream.Identity()
function worked this ended up mostly being enforced in xDS at use-time,
but it should be enforced more clearly at register-time.
* 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
* Update go-bexpr to v0.1.1
This brings in:
• `in`/`not in` operators to do substring matching
• `matches` / `not matches` operators to perform regex string matching.
* Add the capability to auto-generate the filtering selector ops tables for our docs
* Ensure the mesh gateway configuration comes back in the api within each upstream
* Add a test for the MeshGatewayConfig in the ToAPI functions
* Ensure we don’t use gateways for dc local connections
* Update the svc kind index for deletions
* Replace the proxycfg.state cache with an interface for testing
Also start implementing proxycfg state testing.
* Update the state tests to verify some gateway watches for upstream-targets of a discovery chain.
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...".
Both 'consul config write' and server bootstrap config entries take a
decoding detour through mapstructure on the way from HCL to an actual
struct. They both may take in snake_case or CamelCase (for consistency)
so need very similar handling.
Unfortunately since they are operating on mirror universes of structs
(api.* vs structs.*) the code cannot be identitical, so try to share the
kind-configuration and duplicate the rest for now.
* Ensure we MapWalk the proxy config in the NodeService and ServiceNode structs
This gets rid of some json encoder errors in the catalog endpoints
* Allow passing explicit bind addresses to envoy
* Move map walking to the ConnectProxyConfig struct
Any place where this struct gets JSON encoded will benefit as opposed to having to implement it everywhere.
* Fail when a non-empty address is provided and not bindable
* camel case
* Update command/connect/envoy/envoy.go
Co-Authored-By: Paul Banks <banks@banksco.de>
* Fix some tests that I broke when refactoring the ConfigSnapshot
* Make sure the MeshGateway config is added to all the right api structs
* Fix some more tests
With this you should be able to fetch all of the relevant discovery
chain config entries from the state store in one query and then feed
them into the compiler outside of a transaction.
There are a lot of TODOs scattered through here, but they're mostly
around handling fun edge cases and can be deferred until more of the
plumbing works completely.
* Support for maximum size for Output of checks
This PR allows users to limit the size of output produced by checks at the agent
and check level.
When set at the agent level, it will limit the output for all checks monitored
by the agent.
When set at the check level, it can override the agent max for a specific check but
only if it is lower than the agent max.
Default value is 4k, and input must be at least 1.
If a KVSet is performed but does not update the entry, do not trigger
watches for this key.
This avoids releasing blocking queries for KV values that did not
actually changed.
This allows addresses to be tagged at the service level similar to what we allow for nodes already. The address translation that can be enabled with the `translate_wan_addrs` config was updated to take these new addresses into account as well.
The observed bug was that a full restart of a consul datacenter (servers
and clients) in conjunction with a restart of a connect-flavored
application with bring-your-own-service-registration logic would very
frequently cause the envoy sidecar service check to never reflect the
aliased service.
Over the course of investigation several bugs and unfortunate
interactions were corrected:
(1)
local.CheckState objects were only shallow copied, but the key piece of
data that gets read and updated is one of the things not copied (the
underlying Check with a Status field). When the stock code was run with
the race detector enabled this highly-relevant-to-the-test-scenario field
was found to be racy.
Changes:
a) update the existing Clone method to include the Check field
b) copy-on-write when those fields need to change rather than
incrementally updating them in place.
This made the observed behavior occur slightly less often.
(2)
If anything about how the runLocal method for node-local alias check
logic was ever flawed, there was no fallback option. Those checks are
purely edge-triggered and failure to properly notice a single edge
transition would leave the alias check incorrect until the next flap of
the aliased check.
The change was to introduce a fallback timer to act as a control loop to
double check the alias check matches the aliased check every minute
(borrowing the duration from the non-local alias check logic body).
This made the observed behavior eventually go away when it did occur.
(3)
Originally I thought there were two main actions involved in the data race:
A. The act of adding the original check (from disk recovery) and its
first health evaluation.
B. The act of the HTTP API requests coming in and resetting the local
state when re-registering the same services and checks.
It took awhile for me to realize that there's a third action at work:
C. The goroutines associated with the original check and the later
checks.
The actual sequence of actions that was causing the bad behavior was
that the API actions result in the original check to be removed and
re-added _without waiting for the original goroutine to terminate_. This
means for brief windows of time during check definition edits there are
two goroutines that can be sending updates for the alias check status.
In extremely unlikely scenarios the original goroutine sees the aliased
check start up in `critical` before being removed but does not get the
notification about the nearly immediate update of that check to
`passing`.
This is interlaced wit the new goroutine coming up, initializing its
base case to `passing` from the current state and then listening for new
notifications of edge triggers.
If the original goroutine "finishes" its update, it then commits one
more write into the local state of `critical` and exits leaving the
alias check no longer reflecting the underlying check.
The correction here is to enforce that the old goroutines must terminate
before spawning the new one for alias checks.
