* [no ci] first pass at plumbing grpc_ca_file
* consul: add support for grpc_ca_file for tls grpc connections in consul 1.14+
This PR adds client config to Nomad for specifying consul.grpc_ca_file
These changes combined with https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/pull/15913 should
finally enable Nomad users to upgrade to Consul 1.14+ and use tls grpc connections.
* consul: add cl entgry for grpc_ca_file
* docs: mention grpc_tls changes due to Consul 1.14
* client: accommodate Consul 1.14.0 gRPC and agent self changes.
Consul 1.14.0 changed the way in which gRPC listeners are
configured, particularly when using TLS. Prior to the change, a
single listener was responsible for handling plain-text and
encrypted gRPC requests. In 1.14.0 and beyond, separate listeners
will be used for each, defaulting to 8502 and 8503 for plain-text
and TLS respectively.
The change means that Nomad’s Consul Connect integration would not
work when integrated with Consul clusters using TLS and running
1.14.0 or greater.
The Nomad Consul fingerprinter identifies the gRPC port Consul has
exposed using the "DebugConfig.GRPCPort" value from Consul’s
“/v1/agent/self” endpoint. In Consul 1.14.0 and greater, this only
represents the plain-text gRPC port which is likely to be disbaled
in clusters running TLS. In order to fix this issue, Nomad now
takes into account the Consul version and configured scheme to
optionally use “DebugConfig.GRPCTLSPort” value from Consul’s agent
self return.
The “consul_grcp_socket” allocrunner hook has also been updated so
that the fingerprinted gRPC port attribute is passed in. This
provides a better fallback method, when the operator does not
configure the “consul.grpc_address” option.
* docs: modify Consul Connect entries to detail 1.14.0 changes.
* changelog: add entry for #15309
* fixup: tidy tests and clean version match from review feedback.
* fixup: use strings tolower func.
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.
Fixes#8290
