When creating a TCP proxy bridge for Connect tasks, we are at the
mercy of either end for managing the connection state. For long
lived gRPC connections the proxy could reasonably expect to stay
open until the context was cancelled. For the HTTP connections used
by connect native tasks, we experience connection disconnects.
The proxy gets recreated as needed on follow up requests, however
we also emit a WARN log when the connection is broken. This PR
lowers the WARN to a TRACE, because these disconnects are to be
expected.
Ideally we would be able to proxy at the HTTP layer, however Consul
or the connect native task could be configured to expect mTLS, preventing
Nomad from MiTM the requests.
We also can't mange the proxy lifecycle more intelligently, because
we have no control over the HTTP client or server and how they wish
to manage connection state.
What we have now works, it's just noisy.
Fixes#10933
This PR adds initial support for running Consul Connect Ingress Gateways (CIGs) in Nomad. These gateways are declared as part of a task group level service definition within the connect stanza.
```hcl
service {
connect {
gateway {
proxy {
// envoy proxy configuration
}
ingress {
// ingress-gateway configuration entry
}
}
}
}
```
A gateway can be run in `bridge` or `host` networking mode, with the caveat that host networking necessitates manually specifying the Envoy admin listener (which cannot be disabled) via the service port value.
Currently Envoy is the only supported gateway implementation in Consul, and Nomad only supports running Envoy as a gateway using the docker driver.
Aims to address #8294 and tangentially #8647
Before, Connect Native Tasks needed one of these to work:
- To be run in host networking mode
- To have the Consul agent configured to listen to a unix socket
- To have the Consul agent configured to listen to a public interface
None of these are a great experience, though running in host networking is
still the best solution for non-Linux hosts. This PR establishes a connection
proxy between the Consul HTTP listener and a unix socket inside the alloc fs,
bypassing the network namespace for any Connect Native task. Similar to and
re-uses a bunch of code from the gRPC listener version for envoy sidecar proxies.
Proxy is established only if the alloc is configured for bridge networking and
there is at least one Connect Native task in the Task Group.
