If someone were to switch a peer-exported service from L4 to L7 there
would be a brief SAN validation hiccup as traffic shifted to the mesh
gateway for termination.
This PR sends the mesh gateway SpiffeID down all the time so the clients
always expect a switch.
For L4/tcp exported services the mesh gateways will not be terminating
TLS. A caller in one peer will be directly establishing TLS connections
to the ultimate exported service in the other peer.
The caller will be doing SAN validation using the replicated SpiffeID
values shipped from the exporting side. There are a class of discovery
chain edits that could be done on the exporting side that would cause
the introduction of a new SpiffeID value. In between the time of the
config entry update on the exporting side and the importing side getting
updated peer stream data requests to the exported service would fail due
to SAN validation errors.
This is unacceptable so instead prohibit the exporting peer from making
changes that would break peering in this way.
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.
Peer replication is intended to be between separate Consul installs and
effectively should be considered "external". This PR moves the peer
stream replication bidirectional RPC endpoint to the external gRPC
server and ensures that things continue to function.
Currently servers exchange information about their WAN serf port
and RPC port with serf tags, so that they all learn of each other's
addressing information. We intend to make larger use of the new
public-facing gRPC port exposed on all of the servers, so this PR
addresses that by passing around the gRPC port via serf tags and
then ensuring the generated consul service in the catalog has
metadata about that new port as well for ease of non-serf-based lookup.
This commit updates the DNS query locality parsing so that the virtual
IP for an imported service can be queried.
Note that:
- Support for parsing a peer in other service discovery queries was not
added.
- Querying another datacenter for a virtual IP is not supported. This
was technically allowed in 1.11 but is being rolled back for 1.13
because it is not a use-case we intended to support. Virtual IPs in
different datacenters are going to collide because they are allocated
sequentially.
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.

This is the OSS portion of enterprise PR 2157.
It builds on the local blocking query work in #13438 to implement the
proxycfg.IntentionUpstreams interface using server-local data.
Also moves the ACL filtering logic from agent/consul into the acl/filter
package so that it can be reused here.
This is the OSS portion of enterprise PR 2141.
This commit provides a server-local implementation of the `proxycfg.Intentions`
interface that sources data from streaming events.
It adds events for the `service-intentions` config entry type, and then consumes
event streams (via materialized views) for the service's explicit intentions and
any applicable wildcard intentions, merging them into a single list of intentions.
An alternative approach I considered was to consume _all_ intention events (via
`SubjectWildcard`) and filter out the irrelevant ones. This would admittedly
remove some complexity in the `agent/proxycfg-glue` package but at the expense
of considerable overhead from waking potentially many thousands of connect
proxies every time any intention is updated.
This is the OSS portion of enterprise PR 2056.
This commit provides server-local implementations of the proxycfg.ConfigEntry
and proxycfg.ConfigEntryList interfaces, that source data from streaming events.
It makes use of the LocalMaterializer type introduced for peering replication,
adding the necessary support for authorization.
It also adds support for "wildcard" subscriptions (within a topic) to the event
publisher, as this is needed to fetch service-resolvers for all services when
configuring mesh gateways.
Currently, events will be emitted for just the ingress-gateway, service-resolver,
and mesh config entry types, as these are the only entries required by proxycfg
— the events will be emitted on topics named IngressGateway, ServiceResolver,
and MeshConfig topics respectively.
Though these events will only be consumed "locally" for now, they can also be
consumed via the gRPC endpoint (confirmed using grpcurl) so using them from
client agents should be a case of swapping the LocalMaterializer for an
RPCMaterializer.
For initial cluster peering TProxy support we consider all imported services of a partition to be potential upstreams.
We leverage the VirtualIP table because it stores plain service names (e.g. "api", not "api-sidecar-proxy").
When the protocol is http-like, and an intention has a peered source
then the normal RBAC mTLS SAN field check is replaces with a joint combo
of:
mTLS SAN field must be the service's local mesh gateway leaf cert
AND
the first XFCC header (from the MGW) must have a URI field that matches the original intention source
Also:
- Update the regex program limit to be much higher than the teeny
defaults, since the RBAC regex constructions are more complicated now.
- Fix a few stray panics in xds generation.
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
Adds fine-grained node.[node] entries to the index table, allowing blocking queries to return fine-grained indexes that prevent them from returning immediately when unrelated nodes/services are updated.

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.
Having this type live in the agent/consul package makes it difficult to
put anything that relies on token resolution (e.g. the new gRPC services)
in separate packages without introducing import cycles.
For example, if package foo imports agent/consul for the ACLResolveResult
type it means that agent/consul cannot import foo to register its service.
We've previously worked around this by wrapping the ACLResolver to
"downgrade" its return type to an acl.Authorizer - aside from the
added complexity, this also loses the resolved identity information.
In the future, we may want to move the whole ACLResolver into the
acl/resolver package. For now, putting the result type there at least,
fixes the immediate import cycle issues.
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.
Adds the merge-central-config query param option to the /catalog/node-services/:node-name API,
to get a service definition in the response that is merged with central defaults (proxy-defaults/service-defaults).
Updated the consul connect envoy command to use this option when
retrieving the proxy service details so as to render the bootstrap configuration correctly.
When our peer deletes the peering it is locally marked as terminated.
This termination should kick off deleting all imported data, but should
not delete the peering object itself.
Keeping peerings marked as terminated acts as a signal that the action
took place.
Once a peering is marked for deletion a new leader routine will now
clean up all imported resources and then the peering itself.
A lot of the logic was grabbed from the namespace/partitions deferred
deletions but with a handful of simplifications:
- The rate limiting is not configurable.
- Deleting imported nodes/services/checks is done by deleting nodes with
the Txn API. The services and checks are deleted as a side-effect.
- There is no "round rate limiter" like with namespaces and partitions.
This is because peerings are purely local, and deleting a peering in
the datacenter does not depend on deleting data from other DCs like
with WAN-federated namespaces. All rate limiting is handled by the
Raft rate limiter.
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.
Previously, imported data would never be deleted. As
nodes/services/checks were registered and deregistered, resources
deleted from the exporting cluster would accumulate in the imported
cluster.
This commit makes updates to replication so that whenever an update is
received for a service name we reconcile what was present in the catalog
against what was received.
This handleUpdateService method can handle both updates and deletions.
When converting from Consul intentions to xds RBAC rules, services imported from other peers must encode additional data like partition (from the remote cluster) and trust domain.
This PR updates the PeeringTrustBundle to hold the sending side's local partition as ExportedPartition. It also updates RBAC code to encode SpiffeIDs of imported services with the ExportedPartition and TrustDomain.
Mesh gateways can use hostnames in their tagged addresses (#7999). This is useful
if you were to expose a mesh gateway using a cloud networking load balancer appliance
that gives you a DNS name but no reliable static IPs.
Envoy cannot accept hostnames via EDS and those must be configured using CDS.
There was already logic when configuring gateways in other locations in the code, but
given the illusions in play for peering the downstream of a peered service wasn't aware
that it should be doing that.
Also:
- ensuring that we always try to use wan-like addresses to cross peer boundaries.
