There is an undocumented way of mapping a dynamically allocated port to the container. This is applicable in bridge networking ( necessary for consul connect enabled services ) to expose the service *directly*. This is needed when using upstream connect services, but you need to expose the service by normal means. By referencing the current documentation you need to use static ports in order to do so. Introduced in #6189 but undocumented
Without a `LocalServicePort`, Connect services will try to use the
mapped port even when delivering traffic locally. A user can override
this behavior by pinning the port value in the `service` stanza but
this prevents us from using the Consul service name to reach the
service.
This commits configures the Consul proxy with its `LocalServicePort`
and `LocalServiceAddress` fields.
Caught some typos. Made units separate from the numbers 1GHz -> 1 GHz
after talking to Nick about questions of style (this has the side effect of making future spell checking easier).
I apologize in advance for the rather long PR, but unfortunately there
is not an easy way to break this up into smaller chunks. This separates
the agent configuration into smaller, more consumable pieces just like
the job specification.
