Extend Consul’s intentions model to allow for request-based access control enforcement for HTTP-like protocols in addition to the existing connection-based enforcement for unspecified protocols (e.g. tcp).
- Upgrade the ConfigEntry.ListAll RPC to be kind-aware so that older
copies of consul will not see new config entries it doesn't understand
replicate down.
- Add shim conversion code so that the old API/CLI method of interacting
with intentions will continue to work so long as none of these are
edited via config entry endpoints. Almost all of the read-only APIs will
continue to function indefinitely.
- Add new APIs that operate on individual intentions without IDs so that
the UI doesn't need to implement CAS operations.
- Add a new serf feature flag indicating support for
intentions-as-config-entries.
- The old line-item intentions way of interacting with the state store
will transparently flip between the legacy memdb table and the config
entry representations so that readers will never see a hiccup during
migration where the results are incomplete. It uses a piece of system
metadata to control the flip.
- The primary datacenter will begin migrating intentions into config
entries on startup once all servers in the datacenter are on a version
of Consul with the intentions-as-config-entries feature flag. When it is
complete the old state store representations will be cleared. We also
record a piece of system metadata indicating this has occurred. We use
this metadata to skip ALL of this code the next time the leader starts
up.
- The secondary datacenters continue to run the old intentions
replicator until all servers in the secondary DC and primary DC support
intentions-as-config-entries (via serf flag). Once this condition it met
the old intentions replicator ceases.
- The secondary datacenters replicate the new config entries as they are
migrated in the primary. When they detect that the primary has zeroed
it's old state store table it waits until all config entries up to that
point are replicated and then zeroes its own copy of the old state store
table. We also record a piece of system metadata indicating this has
occurred. We use this metadata to skip ALL of this code the next time
the leader starts up.
This adds a new very tiny memdb table and corresponding raft operation
for updating a very small effective map[string]string collection of
"system metadata". This can persistently record a fact about the Consul
state machine itself.
The first use of this feature will come in a later PR.
The subscribe endpoint needs to be able to inspect the payload to filter
events, and convert them into the protobuf types.
Use the protobuf CatalogOp type for the operation field, for now. In the
future if we end up with multiple interfaces we should be able to remove
the protobuf dependency by changing this to an int32 and adding a test
for the mapping between the values.
Make the value of the payload a concrete type instead of interface{}. We
can create other payloads for other event types.
The nodeCheck slice was being used as the first arg in append, which in some cases will modify the array backing the slice. This would lead to service checks for other services in the wrong event.
Also refactor some things to reduce the arguments to functions.
Creating a new readTxn does not work because it will not see the newly created objects that are about to be committed. Instead use the active write Txn.
Whenever an upsert/deletion of a config entry happens, within the open
state store transaction we speculatively test compile all discovery
chains that may be affected by the pending modification to verify that
the write would not create an erroneous scenario (such as splitting
traffic to a subset that did not exist).
If a single discovery chain evaluation references two config entries
with the same kind and name in different namespaces then sometimes the
upsert/deletion would be falsely rejected. It does not appear as though
this bug would've let invalid writes through to the state store so the
correction does not require a cleanup phase.
This commit refactors the state store usage code to track unique service
name changes on transaction commit. This means we only need to lookup
usage entries when reading the information, as opposed to iterating over
a large number of service indices.
- Take into account a service instance's name being changed
- Do not iterate through entire list of service instances, we only care
about whether there is 0, 1, or more than 1.
We add a WriteTxn interface for use in updating the usage memdb table,
with the forward-looking prospect of incrementally converting other
functions to accept interfaces.
As well, we use the ReadTxn in new usage code, and as a side effect
convert a couple of existing functions to use that interface as well.
