This PR implements first-class support for Nomad running Consul
Connect Mesh Gateways. Mesh gateways enable services in the Connect
mesh to make cross-DC connections via gateways, where each datacenter
may not have full node interconnectivity.
Consul docs with more information:
https://www.consul.io/docs/connect/gateways/mesh-gateway
The following group level service block can be used to establish
a Connect mesh gateway.
service {
connect {
gateway {
mesh {
// no configuration
}
}
}
}
Services can make use of a mesh gateway by configuring so in their
upstream blocks, e.g.
service {
connect {
sidecar_service {
proxy {
upstreams {
destination_name = "<service>"
local_bind_port = <port>
datacenter = "<datacenter>"
mesh_gateway {
mode = "<mode>"
}
}
}
}
}
}
Typical use of a mesh gateway is to create a bridge between datacenters.
A mesh gateway should then be configured with a service port that is
mapped from a host_network configured on a WAN interface in Nomad agent
config, e.g.
client {
host_network "public" {
interface = "eth1"
}
}
Create a port mapping in the group.network block for use by the mesh
gateway service from the public host_network, e.g.
network {
mode = "bridge"
port "mesh_wan" {
host_network = "public"
}
}
Use this port label for the service.port of the mesh gateway, e.g.
service {
name = "mesh-gateway"
port = "mesh_wan"
connect {
gateway {
mesh {}
}
}
}
Currently Envoy is the only supported gateway implementation in Consul.
By default Nomad client will run the latest official Envoy docker image
supported by the local Consul agent. The Envoy task can be customized
by setting `meta.connect.gateway_image` in agent config or by setting
the `connect.sidecar_task` block.
Gateways require Consul 1.8.0+, enforced by the Nomad scheduler.
Closes#9446
When `nomad volume create` was introduced in Nomad 1.1.0, we changed the
volume spec to take a list of capabilities rather than a single capability, to
meet the requirements of the CSI spec. When a volume is registered via `nomad
volume register`, we should be using the same fields to validate the volume
with the controller plugin.
This PR adds two additional constraints on Connect sidecar and gateway tasks,
making sure Nomad schedules them only onto nodes where Connect is actually
enabled on the Consul agent.
Consul requires `connect.enabled = true` and `ports.grpc = <number>` to be
explicitly set on agent configuration before Connect APIs will work. Until
now, Nomad would only validate a minimum version of Consul, which would cause
confusion for users who try to run Connect tasks on nodes where Consul is not
yet sufficiently configured. These contstraints prevent job scheduling on nodes
where Connect is not actually use-able.
Closes#10700
The plans generated by the scheduler produce high-level output of counts on each
evaluation, but when debugging scheduler issues it'd be nice to have a more
detailed view of the resulting plan. Emitting this log at trace minimizes the
overhead, and producing it in the plan applyer makes it easier to find as it
will always be on the leader.
Arguments to our logger's various write methods are evaluated eagerly, so
method calls in log parameters will always be called, regardless of log
level. Move some logger messages to the logger's `Fmt` method so that
`GoString` is evaluated lazily instead.
Include the VolumeCapability.MountVolume data in
ControllerPublishVolume, CreateVolume, and ValidateVolumeCapabilities
RPCs sent to the CSI controller. The previous behavior was to only
include the MountVolume capability in the NodeStageVolume request, which
on some CSI implementations would be rejected since the Volume was not
originally provisioned with the specific mount capabilities requested.
seems when this PR was raised, the Nomad CI provider was having
availability issues meaning the test suite was not correctly run,
thus allowing broken tests into main. The PR itself exercised test
code which had not been hit before.
The particular problem is when identifying whether the event
received is a heartbeat; this was performed using standard Golang
conditionals. Unfortunately the operator == is not defined on byte
arrays, resulting in the check always returning false. To overcome
this issue the code now uses the bytes.Equal function to correctly
compare the data.
This PR uses the checksum of the check for which a dynamic exposed
port is being generated (instead of a UUID prefix) so that the
generated port label is deterministic.
This fixes 2 bugs:
- 'job plan' output is now idempotent for jobs making use of injected ports
- tasks will no longer be destructively updated when jobs making use of
injected ports are re-run without changing any user specified part of
job config.

Cluster operators want to have better control over memory
oversubscription and may want to enable/disable it based on their
experience.
This PR adds a scheduler configuration field to control memory
oversubscription. It's additional field that can be set in the [API via Scheduler Config](https://www.nomadproject.io/api-docs/operator/scheduler), or [the agent server config](https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/configuration/server#configuring-scheduler-config).
I opted to have the memory oversubscription be an opt-in, but happy to change it. To enable it, operators should call the API with:
```json
{
"MemoryOversubscriptionEnabled": true
}
```
If memory oversubscription is disabled, submitting jobs specifying `memory_max` will get a "Memory oversubscription is not
enabled" warnings, but the jobs will be accepted without them accessing
the additional memory.
The warning message is like:
```
$ nomad job run /tmp/j
Job Warnings:
1 warning(s):
* Memory oversubscription is not enabled; Task cache.redis memory_max value will be ignored
==> Monitoring evaluation "7c444157"
Evaluation triggered by job "example"
==> Monitoring evaluation "7c444157"
Evaluation within deployment: "9d826f13"
Allocation "aa5c3cad" created: node "9272088e", group "cache"
Evaluation status changed: "pending" -> "complete"
==> Evaluation "7c444157" finished with status "complete"
# then you can examine the Alloc AllocatedResources to validate whether the task is allowed to exceed memory:
$ nomad alloc status -json aa5c3cad | jq '.AllocatedResources.Tasks["redis"].Memory'
{
"MemoryMB": 256,
"MemoryMaxMB": 0
}
```
Add a new driver capability: RemoteTasks.
When a task is run by a driver with RemoteTasks set, its TaskHandle will
be propagated to the server in its allocation's TaskState. If the task
is replaced due to a down node or draining, its TaskHandle will be
propagated to its replacement allocation.
This allows tasks to be scheduled in remote systems whose lifecycles are
disconnected from the Nomad node's lifecycle.
See https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad-driver-ecs for an example ECS
remote task driver.
This PR adds e2e tests for Consul Namespaces for Nomad Enterprise
with Consul ACLs enabled.
Needed to add support for Consul ACL tokens with `namespace` and
`namespace_prefix` blocks, which Nomad parses and validates before
tossing the token. These bits will need to be picked back to OSS.
This PR fixes a bug where Nomad was more restrictive on Ingress Gateway Configuration
Entry definitions than Consul. Before, Nomad would not allow for declaring IGCEs with
http listeners with service name "*", which is a special feature allowable by Consul.
Note: to make http protocol work, a service-default must be defined setting the
protocol to http for each service.
Fixes: #9729
This PR adds job-submission validation that checks for the use of uppercase characters
in group and service names for services that make use of Consul Connect. This prevents
attempting to launch services that Consul will not validate correctly, which in turn
causes tasks to fail to launch in Nomad.
Underlying Consul issue: https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/6765Closes#7581#10450
Add Namespace as a top-level field in `/v1/jobs` stub.
The `/v1/jobs` endpoint already includes the namespace under `JobSummary`, though the API is odd, as typically the job ID and Namespace are in the same level, and the oddity complicates the UI frontend development.
The downside of adding it is redundant field, that makes the response body a bit bigger, specially for clusters with large jobs. Though, it should compress nicely and I expect the overhead to be small to overall response size. The benefit of a cleaner and more consistent API seem worth it.
Fixes#10431
This fixes a bug affecting drain nodes, where allocs may fail to be
migrated if they belong to different namespaces but share the same job
name.
The reason is that the helper function that creates the migration evals
indexed the allocs by job ID without accounting for the namespaces.
When job ids clash, only an eval is created for one and the rest of the
allocs remain intact.
Fixes#10172
Small change to pull in ent struct types in a switch
statement used by ent. They are benign in oss, this
is just to make sure OSS->ENT merges don't create a
diff.
(cherry-picked from ent without _ent things)
This is part 2/4 of e2e tests for Consul Namespaces. Took a
first pass at what the parameterized tests can look like, but
only on the ENT side for this PR. Will continue to refactor
in the next PRs.
Also fixes 2 bugs:
- Config Entries registered by Nomad Server on job registration
were not getting Namespace set
- Group level script checks were not getting Namespace set
Those changes will need to be copied back to Nomad OSS.
Nomad OSS + no ACLs (previously, needs refactor)
Nomad ENT + no ACLs (this)
Nomad OSS + ACLs (todo)
Nomad ENT + ALCs (todo)
This PR introduces the /v1/search/fuzzy API endpoint, used for fuzzy
searching objects in Nomad. The fuzzy search endpoint routes requests
to the Nomad Server leader, which implements the Search.FuzzySearch RPC
method.
Requests to the fuzzy search API are based on the api.FuzzySearchRequest
object, e.g.
{
"Text": "ed",
"Context": "all"
}
Responses from the fuzzy search API are based on the api.FuzzySearchResponse
object, e.g.
{
"Index": 27,
"KnownLeader": true,
"LastContact": 0,
"Matches": {
"tasks": [
{
"ID": "redis",
"Scope": [
"default",
"example",
"cache"
]
}
],
"evals": [],
"deployment": [],
"volumes": [],
"scaling_policy": [],
"images": [
{
"ID": "redis:3.2",
"Scope": [
"default",
"example",
"cache",
"redis"
]
}
]
},
"Truncations": {
"volumes": false,
"scaling_policy": false,
"evals": false,
"deployment": false
}
}
The API is tunable using the new server.search stanza, e.g.
server {
search {
fuzzy_enabled = true
limit_query = 200
limit_results = 1000
min_term_length = 5
}
}
These values can be increased or decreased, so as to provide more
search results or to reduce load on the Nomad Server. The fuzzy search
API can be disabled entirely by setting `fuzzy_enabled` to `false`.
Consul allows specifying the HTTP body to send in a health check. Nomad
uses Consul for health checking so this just plumbs the value through to
where the Consul API is called.
There is no validation that `body` is not used with an incompatible
check method like GET.
The error messages are reversed from tests performed above them. The test uses the `validateJobUpdate()` function, but ignores the text of the error message itself.
Plugins could potentially ignore the `max_entries` field and return a list of
entries that is greater, so we slice the return value in the server RPC to
enforce these value. But page sizes less than the number of entries for the
external CSI ListVolumes and ListSnapshots RPCs could cause a panic, so fix
the boundary checking.
The plugin stub object does not include fine-grained capability checks, which
means `nomad volume status -verbose` will return ugly and verbose error
"Unimplemented" messages from the plugin if it does not support the CSI
`ListVolumes` RPC. Return a nicer error message from our RPC handler instead.
Registration of Nomad volumes previously allowed for a single volume
capability (access mode + attachment mode pair). The recent `volume create`
command requires that we pass a list of requested capabilities, but the
existing workflow for claiming volumes and attaching them on the client
assumed that the volume's single capability was correct and unchanging.
Add `AccessMode` and `AttachmentMode` to `CSIVolumeClaim`, use these fields to
set the initial claim value, and add backwards compatibility logic to handle
the existing volumes that already have claims without these fields.
This PR adds the common OSS changes for adding support for Consul Namespaces,
which is going to be a Nomad Enterprise feature. There is no new functionality
provided by this changeset and hopefully no new bugs.
In order to support new node RPCs, we need to fingerprint plugin capabilities
in more detail. This changeset mirrors recent work to fingerprint controller
capabilities, but is not yet in use by any Nomad RPC.
The HTTP test to create CSI volumes depends on having a controller plugin to
talk to, but the test was using a node-only plugin, which allows it to
silently ignore the missing controller.
