* Fix mesh gateway proxy-defaults not affecting upstreams.
* Clarify distinction with upstream settings
Top-level mesh gateway mode in proxy-defaults and service-defaults gets
merged into NodeService.Proxy.MeshGateway, and only gets merged with
the mode attached to an an upstream in proxycfg/xds.
* Fix mgw mode usage for peered upstreams
There were a couple issues with how mgw mode was being handled for
peered upstreams.
For starters, mesh gateway mode from proxy-defaults
and the top-level of service-defaults gets stored in
NodeService.Proxy.MeshGateway, but the upstream watch for peered data
was only considering the mesh gateway config attached in
NodeService.Proxy.Upstreams[i]. This means that applying a mesh gateway
mode via global proxy-defaults or service-defaults on the downstream
would not have an effect.
Separately, transparent proxy watches for peered upstreams didn't
consider mesh gateway mode at all.
This commit addresses the first issue by ensuring that we overlay the
upstream config for peered upstreams as we do for non-peered. The second
issue is addressed by re-using setupWatchesForPeeredUpstream when
handling transparent proxy updates.
Note that for transparent proxies we do not yet support mesh gateway
mode per upstream, so the NodeService.Proxy.MeshGateway mode is used.
* Fix upstream mesh gateway mode handling in xds
This commit ensures that when determining the mesh gateway mode for
peered upstreams we consider the NodeService.Proxy.MeshGateway config as
a baseline.
In absense of this change, setting a mesh gateway mode via
proxy-defaults or the top-level of service-defaults will not have an
effect for peered upstreams.
* Merge service/proxy defaults in cfg resolver
Previously the mesh gateway mode for connect proxies would be
merged at three points:
1. On servers, in ComputeResolvedServiceConfig.
2. On clients, in MergeServiceConfig.
3. On clients, in proxycfg/xds.
The first merge returns a ServiceConfigResponse where there is a
top-level MeshGateway config from proxy/service-defaults, along with
per-upstream config.
The second merge combines per-upstream config specified at the service
instance with per-upstream config specified centrally.
The third merge combines the NodeService.Proxy.MeshGateway
config containing proxy/service-defaults data with the per-upstream
mode. This third merge is easy to miss, which led to peered upstreams
not considering the mesh gateway mode from proxy-defaults.
This commit removes the third merge, and ensures that all mesh gateway
config is available at the upstream. This way proxycfg/xds do not need
to do additional overlays.
* Ensure that proxy-defaults is considered in wc
Upstream defaults become a synthetic Upstream definition under a
wildcard key "*". Now that proxycfg/xds expect Upstream definitions to
have the final MeshGateway values, this commit ensures that values from
proxy-defaults/service-defaults are the default for this synthetic
upstream.
* Add changelog.

* ingress-gateways: don't log error when registering gateway
Previously, when an ingress gateway was registered without a
corresponding ingress gateway config entry, an error was logged
because the watch on the config entry returned a nil result.
This is expected so don't log an error.
This commit adds the xDS resources needed for INBOUND traffic from peer
clusters:
- 1 filter chain for all inbound peering requests.
- 1 cluster for all inbound peering requests.
- 1 endpoint per voting server with the gRPC TLS port configured.
There is one filter chain and cluster because unlike with WAN
federation, peer clusters will not attempt to dial individual servers.
Peer clusters will only dial the local mesh gateway addresses.
* add golden files
* add support to http in tgateway egress destination
* fix slice sorting to include both address and port when using server_names
* fix listener loop for http destination
* fix routes to generate a route per port and a virtualhost per port-address combination
* sort virtual hosts list to have a stable order
* extract redundant serviceNode
Now that peered upstreams can generate envoy resources (#13758), we need a way to disambiguate local from peered resources in our metrics. The key difference is that datacenter and partition will be replaced with peer, since in the context of peered resources partition is ambiguous (could refer to the partition in a remote cluster or one that exists locally). The partition and datacenter of the proxy will always be that of the source service.
Regexes were updated to make emitting datacenter and partition labels mutually exclusive with peer labels.
Listener filter names were updated to better match the existing regex.
Cluster names assigned to peered upstreams were updated to be synthesized from local peer name (it previously used the externally provided primary SNI, which contained the peer name from the other side of the peering). Integration tests were updated to assert for the new peer labels.
Peered upstreams has a separate loop in xds from discovery chain upstreams. This PR adds similar but slightly modified code to add filters for peered upstream listeners, clusters, and endpoints in the case of transparent proxy.
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.
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.
Prior to this PR for the envoy xDS golden tests in the agent/xds package we
were hand-creating a proxycfg.ConfigSnapshot structure in the proper format for
input to the xDS generator. Over time this intermediate structure has gotten
trickier to build correctly for the various tests.
This PR proposes to switch to using the existing mechanism for turning a
structs.NodeService and a sequence of cache.UpdateEvent copies into a
proxycfg.ConfigSnapshot, as that is less error prone to construct and aligns
more with how the data arrives.
NOTE: almost all of this is in test-related code. I tried super hard to craft
correct event inputs to get the golden files to be the same, or similar enough
after construction to feel ok that i recreated the spirit of the original test
cases.
Fixes an issue described in #10132, where if two DCs are WAN federated
over mesh gateways, and the gateway in the non-primary DC is terminated
and receives a new IP address (as is commonly the case when running them
on ephemeral compute instances) the primary DC is unable to re-establish
its connection until the agent running on its own gateway is restarted.
This was happening because we always preferred gateways discovered by
the `Internal.ServiceDump` RPC (which would fail because there's no way
to dial the remote DC) over those discovered in the federation state,
which is replicated as long as the primary DC's gateway is reachable.
Previously SAN validation for prepared queries was broken because we
validated against the name, namespace, and datacenter for prepared
queries.
However, prepared queries can target:
- Services with a name that isn't their own
- Services in multiple datacenters
This means that the SpiffeID to validate needs to be based on the
prepared query endpoints, and not the prepared query's upstream
definition.
This commit updates prepared query clusters to account for that.
- The TestNodeService helper created services with the fixed name "web",
and now that name is overridable.
- The discovery chain snapshot didn't have prepared query endpoints so
the endpoints tests were missing data for prepared queries
The only thing that needed fixing up pertained to this section of the 1.18.x release notes:
> grpc_stats: the default value for stats_for_all_methods is switched from true to false, in order to avoid possible memory exhaustion due to an untrusted downstream sending a large number of unique method names. The previous default value was deprecated in version 1.14.0. This only changes the behavior when the value is not set. The previous behavior can be used by setting the value to true. This behavior change by be overridden by setting runtime feature envoy.deprecated_features.grpc_stats_filter_enable_stats_for_all_methods_by_default.
For now to maintain status-quo I'm explicitly setting `stats_for_all_methods=true` in all versions to avoid relying upon the default.
Additionally the naming of the emitted metrics for these gRPC requests changed slightly so the integration test assertions for `case-grpc` needed adjusting.
Since we currently do no version switching this removes 75% of the PR
noise.
To generate all *.golden files were removed and then I ran:
go test ./agent/xds -update
Note that this does NOT upgrade to xDS v3. That will come in a future PR.
Additionally:
- Ignored staticcheck warnings about how github.com/golang/protobuf is deprecated.
- Shuffled some agent/xds imports in advance of a later xDS v3 upgrade.
- Remove support for envoy 1.13.x but don't add in 1.17.x yet. We have to wait until the xDS v3 support is added in a follow-up PR.
Fixes#8425
Related changes:
- hard-fail the xDS connection attempt if the envoy version is known to be too old to be supported
- remove the RouterMatchSafeRegex proxy feature since all supported envoy versions have it
- stop using --max-obj-name-len (due to: envoyproxy/envoy#11740)
The DNS resolution will be handled by Envoy and defaults to LOGICAL_DNS. This discovery type can be overridden on a per-gateway basis with the envoy_dns_discovery_type Gateway Option.
If a service contains an instance with a hostname as an address we set the Envoy cluster to use DNS as the discovery type rather than EDS. Since both mesh gateways and terminating gateways route to clusters using SNI, whenever there is a mix of hostnames and IP addresses associated with a service we use the hostname + CDS rather than the IPs + EDS.
Note that we detect hostnames by attempting to parse the service instance's address as an IP. If it is not a valid IP we assume it is a hostname.
This commit copies many of the connect-proxy xds testcases and reuses
for ingress gateways. This allows us to more easily see changes to the
envoy configuration when make updates to ingress gateways.

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.
* xDS Mesh Gateway Resolver Subset Fixes
The first fix was that clusters were being generated for every service resolver subset regardless of there being any service instances of the associated service in that dc. The previous logic didn’t care at all but now it will omit generating those clusters unless we also have service instances that should be proxied.
The second fix was to respect the DefaultSubset of a service resolver so that mesh-gateways would configure the endpoints of the unnamed subset cluster to only those endpoints matched by the default subsets filters.
* Refactor the gateway endpoint generation to be a little easier to read
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.
Since generated envoy clusters all are named using (mostly) SNI syntax
we can have envoy read the various fields out of that structure and emit
it as stats labels to the various telemetry backends.
I changed the delimiter for the 'customization hash' from ':' to '~'
because ':' is always reencoded by envoy as '_' when generating metrics
keys.
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).
