This implements permissive mTLS , which allows toggling services into "permissive" mTLS mode. Permissive mTLS mode allows incoming "non Consul-mTLS" traffic to be forward unmodified to the application. * Update service-defaults and proxy-defaults config entries with a MutualTLSMode field * Update the mesh config entry with an AllowEnablingPermissiveMutualTLS field and implement the necessary validation. AllowEnablingPermissiveMutualTLS must be true to allow changing to MutualTLSMode=permissive, but this does not require that all proxy-defaults and service-defaults are currently in strict mode. * Update xDS listener config to add a "permissive filter chain" when MutualTLSMode=permissive for a particular service. The permissive filter chain matches incoming traffic by the destination port. If the destination port matches the service port from the catalog, then no mTLS is required and the traffic sent is forwarded unmodified to the application. |

Consul
Consul is a distributed, highly available, and data center aware solution to connect and configure applications across dynamic, distributed infrastructure.
- Website: https://www.consul.io
- Tutorials: HashiCorp Learn
- Forum: Discuss
Consul provides several key features:
-
Multi-Datacenter - Consul is built to be datacenter aware, and can support any number of regions without complex configuration.
-
Service Mesh - Consul Service Mesh enables secure service-to-service communication with automatic TLS encryption and identity-based authorization. Applications can use sidecar proxies in a service mesh configuration to establish TLS connections for inbound and outbound connections with Transparent Proxy.
-
Service Discovery - Consul makes it simple for services to register themselves and to discover other services via a DNS or HTTP interface. External services such as SaaS providers can be registered as well.
-
Health Checking - Health Checking enables Consul to quickly alert operators about any issues in a cluster. The integration with service discovery prevents routing traffic to unhealthy hosts and enables service level circuit breakers.
-
Key/Value Storage - A flexible key/value store enables storing dynamic configuration, feature flagging, coordination, leader election and more. The simple HTTP API makes it easy to use anywhere.
Consul runs on Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Windows and includes an optional browser based UI. A commercial version called Consul Enterprise is also available.
Please note: We take Consul's security and our users' trust very seriously. If you believe you have found a security issue in Consul, please responsibly disclose by contacting us at security@hashicorp.com.
