This PR adds the capability of running Connect Native Tasks on Nomad,
particularly when TLS and ACLs are enabled on Consul.
The `connect` stanza now includes a `native` parameter, which can be
set to the name of task that backs the Connect Native Consul service.
There is a new Client configuration parameter for the `consul` stanza
called `share_ssl`. Like `allow_unauthenticated` the default value is
true, but recommended to be disabled in production environments. When
enabled, the Nomad Client's Consul TLS information is shared with
Connect Native tasks through the normal Consul environment variables.
This does NOT include auth or token information.
If Consul ACLs are enabled, Service Identity Tokens are automatically
and injected into the Connect Native task through the CONSUL_HTTP_TOKEN
environment variable.
Any of the automatically set environment variables can be overridden by
the Connect Native task using the `env` stanza.
Fixes#6083
When an allocation runs for a task driver that can't support volume mounts,
the mounting will fail in a way that can be hard to understand. With host
volumes this usually means failing silently, whereas with CSI the operator
gets inscrutable internals exposed in the `nomad alloc status`.
This changeset adds a MountConfig field to the task driver Capabilities
response. We validate this when the `csi_hook` or `volume_hook` fires and
return a user-friendly error.
Note that we don't currently have a way to get driver capabilities up to the
server, except through attributes. Validating this when the user initially
submits the jobspec would be even better than what we're doing here (and could
be useful for all our other capabilities), but that's out of scope for this
changeset.
Also note that the MountConfig enum starts with "supports all" in order to
support community plugins in a backwards compatible way, rather than cutting
them off from volume mounting unexpectedly.
The `stats_hook` writes an Error log every time an allocation becomes
terminal. This is a normal condition, not an error. A real error
condition like a failure to collect the stats is logged later. It just
creates log noise, and this is a particularly bad operator experience
for heavy batch workloads.
The plugin supervisor lazily connects to plugins, but this means we
only get "Unavailable" back from the gRPC call in cases where the
plugin can never be reached (for example, if the Nomad client has the
wrong permissions for the socket).
This changeset improves the operator experience by switching to a
blocking `DialWithContext`. It eagerly connects so that we can
validate the connection is real and get a "failed to open" error in
case where Nomad can't establish the initial connection.
This change deflakes TestTaskTemplateManager_BlockedEvents test, because
it is expecting a number of events without accounting for transitional
state.
The test TestTaskTemplateManager_BlockedEvents attempts to ensure that a
template rendering emits blocked events for missing template ksys.
It works by setting a template that requires keys 0,1,2,3,4 and then
eventually sets keys 0,1,2,3 and ensures that we get a final event indicating
that keys 3 and 4 are still missing.
The test waits to get a blocked event for the final state, but it can
fail if receives a blocked event for a transitional state (e.g. one
reporting 2,3,4,5 are missing).
This fixes the test by ensuring that it waits until the final message
before assertion.
Also, it clarifies the intent of the test with stricter assertions and
additional comments.
Adds a `CSIVolumeClaim` type to be tracked as current and past claims
on a volume. Allows for a client RPC failure during node or controller
detachment without having to keep the allocation around after the
first garbage collection eval.
This changeset lays groundwork for moving the actual detachment RPCs
into a volume watching loop outside the GC eval.
task shutdown_delay will currently only run if there are registered
services for the task. This implementation detail isn't explicity stated
anywhere and is defined outside of the service stanza.
This change moves shutdown_delay to be evaluated after prekill hooks are
run, outside of any task runner hooks.
just use time.sleep
If a volume-claiming alloc stops and the CSI Node plugin that serves
that alloc's volumes is missing, there's no way for the allocrunner
hook to send the `NodeUnpublish` and `NodeUnstage` RPCs.
This changeset addresses this issue with a redesign of the client-side
for CSI. Rather than unmounting in the alloc runner hook, the alloc
runner hook will simply exit. When the server gets the
`Node.UpdateAlloc` for the terminal allocation that had a volume claim,
it creates a volume claim GC job. This job will made client RPCs to a
new node plugin RPC endpoint, and only once that succeeds, move on to
making the client RPCs to the controller plugin. If the node plugin is
unavailable, the GC job will fail and be requeued.

Before, we only passed the Nomad agent's configured Consul HTTP
address onto the `consul connect envoy ...` bootstrap command.
This meant any Consul setup with TLS enabled would not work with
Nomad's Connect integration.
This change now sets CLI args and Environment Variables for
configuring TLS options for communicating with Consul when doing
the envoy bootstrap, as described in
https://www.consul.io/docs/commands/connect/envoy.html#usage
Enable configuration of HTTP and gRPC endpoints which should be exposed by
the Connect sidecar proxy. This changeset is the first "non-magical" pass
that lays the groundwork for enabling Consul service checks for tasks
running in a network namespace because they are Connect-enabled. The changes
here provide for full configuration of the
connect {
sidecar_service {
proxy {
expose {
paths = [{
path = <exposed endpoint>
protocol = <http or grpc>
local_path_port = <local endpoint port>
listener_port = <inbound mesh port>
}, ... ]
}
}
}
stanza. Everything from `expose` and below is new, and partially implements
the precedent set by Consul:
https://www.consul.io/docs/connect/registration/service-registration.html#expose-paths-configuration-reference
Combined with a task-group level network port-mapping in the form:
port "exposeExample" { to = -1 }
it is now possible to "punch a hole" through the network namespace
to a specific HTTP or gRPC path, with the anticipated use case of creating
Consul checks on Connect enabled services.
A future PR may introduce more automagic behavior, where we can do things like
1) auto-fill the 'expose.path.local_path_port' with the default value of the
'service.port' value for task-group level connect-enabled services.
2) automatically generate a port-mapping
3) enable an 'expose.checks' flag which automatically creates exposed endpoints
for every compatible consul service check (http/grpc checks on connect
enabled services).
Add mount_options to both the volume definition on registration and to the volume block in the group where the volume is requested. If both are specified, the options provided in the request replace the options defined in the volume. They get passed to the NodePublishVolume, which causes the node plugin to actually mount the volume on the host.
Individual tasks just mount bind into the host mounted volume (unchanged behavior). An operator can mount the same volume with different options by specifying it twice in the group context.

Allow for faster updates to plugin status when allocations become
terminal by listening for register/deregister events from the dynamic
plugin registry (which in turn are triggered by the plugin supervisor
hook).
The deregistration function closures that we pass up to the CSI plugin
manager don't properly close over the name and type of the
registration, causing monolith-type plugins to deregister only one of
their two plugins on alloc shutdown. Rebind plugin supervisor
deregistration targets to fix that.

A log for the common case where the plugin socket isn't ready yet

CSI Plugins that manage devices need not just access to the CSI
directory, but also to manage devices inside `/dev`.
This commit introduces a `/dev:/dev` mount to the container so that they
may do so.
This commit is the initial implementation of claiming volumes from the
server and passes through any publishContext information as appropriate.
There's nothing too fancy here.
The CSI Spec requires us to attach and stage volumes based on different
types of usage information when it may effect how they are bound. Here
we pass through some basic usage options in the CSI Hook (specifically
the volume aliases ReadOnly field), and the attachment/access mode from
the volume. We pass the attachment/access mode seperately from the
volume as it simplifies some handling and doesn't necessarily force
every attachment to use the same mode should more be supported (I.e if
we let each `volume "foo" {}` specify an override in the future).
This commit introduces initial support for unmounting csi volumes.
It takes a relatively simplistic approach to performing
NodeUnpublishVolume calls, optimising for cleaning up any leftover state
rather than terminating early in the case of errors.
This is because it happens during an allocation's shutdown flow and may
not always have a corresponding call to `NodePublishVolume` that
succeeded.
This commit implements support for creating driver mounts for CSI
Volumes.
It works by fetching the created mounts from the allocation resources
and then iterates through the volume requests, creating driver mount
configs as required.
It's a little bit messy primarily because there's _so_ much terminology
overlap and it's a bit difficult to follow.
This commit is an initial (read: janky) approach to forwarding state
from an allocrunner hook to a taskrunner using a similar `hookResources`
approach that tr's use internally.
It should eventually probably be replaced with something a little bit
more message based, but for things that only come from pre-run hooks,
and don't change, it's probably fine for now.
This commit introduces the first stage of volume mounting for an
allocation. The csimanager.VolumeMounter interface manages the blocking
and actual minutia of the CSI implementation allowing this hook to do
the minimal work of volume retrieval and creating mount info.
In the future the `CSIVolume.Get` request should be replaced by
`CSIVolume.Claim(Batch?)` to minimize the number of RPCs and to handle
external triggering of a ControllerPublishVolume request as required.
We also need to ensure that if pre-run hooks fail, we still get a full
unwinding of any publish and staged volumes to ensure that there are no hanging
references to volumes. That is not handled in this commit.
As part of introducing support for CSI, AllocRunner hooks need to be
able to communicate with Nomad Servers for validation of and interaction
with storage volumes. Here we create a small RPCer interface and pass
the client (rpc client) to the AR in preparation for making these RPCs.
When providing paths to plugins, the path needs to be in the scope of
the plugins container, rather than that of the host.
Here we enable that by providing the mount point through the plugin
registration and then use it when constructing request target paths.
This changeset is some pre-requisite boilerplate that is required for
introducing CSI volume management for client nodes.
It extracts out fingerprinting logic from the csi instance manager.
This change is to facilitate reusing the csimanager to also manage the
node-local CSI functionality, as it is the easiest place for us to
guaruntee health checking and to provide additional visibility into the
running operations through the fingerprinter mechanism and goroutine.
It also introduces the VolumeMounter interface that will be used to
manage staging/publishing unstaging/unpublishing of volumes on the host.
This changeset implements the initial registration and fingerprinting
of CSI Plugins as part of #5378. At a high level, it introduces the
following:
* A `csi_plugin` stanza as part of a Nomad task configuration, to
allow a task to expose that it is a plugin.
* A new task runner hook: `csi_plugin_supervisor`. This hook does two
things. When the `csi_plugin` stanza is detected, it will
automatically configure the plugin task to receive bidirectional
mounts to the CSI intermediary directory. At runtime, it will then
perform an initial heartbeat of the plugin and handle submitting it to
the new `dynamicplugins.Registry` for further use by the client, and
then run a lightweight heartbeat loop that will emit task events
when health changes.
* The `dynamicplugins.Registry` for handling plugins that run
as Nomad tasks, in contrast to the existing catalog that requires
`go-plugin` type plugins and to know the plugin configuration in
advance.
* The `csimanager` which fingerprints CSI plugins, in a similar way to
`drivermanager` and `devicemanager`. It currently only fingerprints
the NodeID from the plugin, and assumes that all plugins are
monolithic.
Missing features
* We do not use the live updates of the `dynamicplugin` registry in
the `csimanager` yet.
* We do not deregister the plugins from the client when they shutdown
yet, they just become indefinitely marked as unhealthy. This is
deliberate until we figure out how we should manage deploying new
versions of plugins/transitioning them.
Fixes a bug where an allocation is considered healthy if some of the
tasks are being restarted and as such, their checks aren't tracked by
consul agent client.
Here, we fix the immediate case by ensuring that an alloc is healthy
only if tasks are running and the registered checks at the time are
healthy.
Previously, health tracker tracked task "health" independently from
checks and leads to problems when a task restarts. Consider the
following series of events:
1. all tasks start running -> `tracker.tasksHealthy` is true
2. one task has unhealthy checks and get restarted
3. remaining checks are healthy -> `tracker.checksHealthy` is true
4. propagate health status now that `tracker.tasksHealthy` and
`tracker.checksHealthy`.
This change ensures that we accurately use the latest status of tasks
and checks regardless of their status changes.
Also, ensures that we only consider check health after tasks are
considered healthy, otherwise we risk trusting incomplete checks.
This approach accomodates task dependencies well. Service jobs can have
prestart short-lived tasks that will terminate before main process runs.
These dead tasks that complete successfully will not negate health
status.
Consul provides a feature of Service Definitions where the tags
associated with a service can be modified through the Catalog API,
overriding the value(s) configured in the agent's service configuration.
To enable this feature, the flag enable_tag_override must be configured
in the service definition.
Previously, Nomad did not allow configuring this flag, and thus the default
value of false was used. Now, it is configurable.
Because Nomad itself acts as a state machine around the the service definitions
of the tasks it manages, it's worth describing what happens when this feature
is enabled and why.
Consider the basic case where there is no Nomad, and your service is provided
to consul as a boring JSON file. The ultimate source of truth for the definition
of that service is the file, and is stored in the agent. Later, Consul performs
"anti-entropy" which synchronizes the Catalog (stored only the leaders). Then
with enable_tag_override=true, the tags field is available for "external"
modification through the Catalog API (rather than directly configuring the
service definition file, or using the Agent API). The important observation
is that if the service definition ever changes (i.e. the file is changed &
config reloaded OR the Agent API is used to modify the service), those
"external" tag values are thrown away, and the new service definition is
once again the source of truth.
In the Nomad case, Nomad itself is the source of truth over the Agent in
the same way the JSON file was the source of truth in the example above.
That means any time Nomad sets a new service definition, any externally
configured tags are going to be replaced. When does this happen? Only on
major lifecycle events, for example when a task is modified because of an
updated job spec from the 'nomad job run <existing>' command. Otherwise,
Nomad's periodic re-sync's with Consul will now no longer try to restore
the externally modified tag values (as long as enable_tag_override=true).
Fixes#2057
Re-orient the management of the tr.kill to happen in the parent of
the spawned goroutine that is doing the actual token derivation. This
makes the code a little more straightforward, making it easier to
reason about not leaking the worker goroutine.
The derivation of an SI token needs to be safegaurded by a context
timeout, otherwise an unresponsive Consul could cause the siHook
to block forever on Prestart.
Apply smaller suggestions like doc strings, variable names, etc.

The TestEnvoyBootstrapHook_maybeLoadSIToken test case only works when
running as a non-priveleged user, since it deliberately tries to read
an un-readable file to simulate a failure loading the SI token file.
Was thinking about using the testing pattern where you create executable
shell scripts as test resources which "mock" the process a bit of code
is meant to fork+exec. Turns out that wasn't really necessary in this case.
When creating the envoy bootstrap configuration, we should append
the "-token=<token>" argument in the case where the sidsHook placed
the token in the secrets directory.
Nomad jobs may be configured with a TaskGroup which contains a Service
definition that is Consul Connect enabled. These service definitions end
up establishing a Consul Connect Proxy Task (e.g. envoy, by default). In
the case where Consul ACLs are enabled, a Service Identity token is required
for these tasks to run & connect, etc. This changeset enables the Nomad Server
to recieve RPC requests for the derivation of SI tokens on behalf of instances
of Consul Connect using Tasks. Those tokens are then relayed back to the
requesting Client, which then injects the tokens in the secrets directory of
the Task.
When a job is configured with Consul Connect aware tasks (i.e. sidecar),
the Nomad Client should be able to request from Consul (through Nomad Server)
Service Identity tokens specific to those tasks.
