Part of #6120
Building on the support for enabling connect proxy paths in #7323, this change
adds the ability to configure the 'service.check.expose' flag on group-level
service check definitions for services that are connect-enabled. This is a slight
deviation from the "magic" that Consul provides. With Consul, the 'expose' flag
exists on the connect.proxy stanza, which will then auto-generate expose paths
for every HTTP and gRPC service check associated with that connect-enabled
service.
A first attempt at providing similar magic for Nomad's Consul Connect integration
followed that pattern exactly, as seen in #7396. However, on reviewing the PR
we realized having the `expose` flag on the proxy stanza inseperably ties together
the automatic path generation with every HTTP/gRPC defined on the service. This
makes sense in Consul's context, because a service definition is reasonably
associated with a single "task". With Nomad's group level service definitions
however, there is a reasonable expectation that a service definition is more
abstractly representative of multiple services within the task group. In this
case, one would want to define checks of that service which concretely make HTTP
or gRPC requests to different underlying tasks. Such a model is not possible
with the course `proxy.expose` flag.
Instead, we now have the flag made available within the check definitions themselves.
By making the expose feature resolute to each check, it is possible to have
some HTTP/gRPC checks which make use of the envoy exposed paths, as well as
some HTTP/gRPC checks which make use of some orthongonal port-mapping to do
checks on some other task (or even some other bound port of the same task)
within the task group.
Given this example,
group "server-group" {
network {
mode = "bridge"
port "forchecks" {
to = -1
}
}
service {
name = "myserver"
port = 2000
connect {
sidecar_service {
}
}
check {
name = "mycheck-myserver"
type = "http"
port = "forchecks"
interval = "3s"
timeout = "2s"
method = "GET"
path = "/classic/responder/health"
expose = true
}
}
}
Nomad will automatically inject (via job endpoint mutator) the
extrapolated expose path configuration, i.e.
expose {
path {
path = "/classic/responder/health"
protocol = "http"
local_path_port = 2000
listener_port = "forchecks"
}
}
Documentation is coming in #7440 (needs updating, doing next)
Modifications to the `countdash` examples in https://github.com/hashicorp/demo-consul-101/pull/6
which will make the examples in the documentation actually runnable.
Will add some e2e tests based on the above when it becomes available.
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.

Previously when deserializing volumes we skipped over volumes that were
not of type `host`. This commit ensures that we parse both host and csi
volumes correctly.
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.
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
This change provides an initial pass at setting up the configuration necessary to
enable use of Connect with Consul ACLs. Operators will be able to pass in a Consul
Token through `-consul-token` or `$CONSUL_TOKEN` in the `job run` and `job revert`
commands (similar to Vault tokens).
These values are not actually used yet in this changeset.

This commit introduces support for configuring mount propagation when
mounting volumes with the `volume_mount` stanza on Linux targets.
Similar to Kubernetes, we expose 3 options for configuring mount
propagation:
- private, which is equivalent to `rprivate` on Linux, which does not allow the
container to see any new nested mounts after the chroot was created.
- host-to-task, which is equivalent to `rslave` on Linux, which allows new mounts
that have been created _outside of the container_ to be visible
inside the container after the chroot is created.
- bidirectional, which is equivalent to `rshared` on Linux, which allows both
the container to see new mounts created on the host, but
importantly _allows the container to create mounts that are
visible in other containers an don the host_
private and host-to-task are safe, but bidirectional mounts can be
dangerous, as if the code inside a container creates a mount, and does
not clean it up before tearing down the container, it can cause bad
things to happen inside the kernel.
To add a layer of safety here, we require that the user has ReadWrite
permissions on the volume before allowing bidirectional mounts, as a
defense in depth / validation case, although creating mounts should also require
a priviliged execution environment inside the container.
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.
Currently, using a Volume in a job uses the following configuration:
```
volume "alias-name" {
type = "volume-type"
read_only = true
config {
source = "host_volume_name"
}
}
```
This commit migrates to the following:
```
volume "alias-name" {
type = "volume-type"
source = "host_volume_name"
read_only = true
}
```
The original design was based due to being uncertain about the future of storage
plugins, and to allow maxium flexibility.
However, this causes a few issues, namely:
- We frequently need to parse this configuration during submission,
scheduling, and mounting
- It complicates the configuration from and end users perspective
- It complicates the ability to do validation
As we understand the problem space of CSI a little more, it has become
clear that we won't need the `source` to be in config, as it will be
used in the majority of cases:
- Host Volumes: Always need a source
- Preallocated CSI Volumes: Always needs a source from a volume or claim name
- Dynamic Persistent CSI Volumes*: Always needs a source to attach the volumes
to for managing upgrades and to avoid dangling.
- Dynamic Ephemeral CSI Volumes*: Less thought out, but `source` will probably point
to the plugin name, and a `config` block will
allow you to pass meta to the plugin. Or will
point to a pre-configured ephemeral config.
*If implemented
The new design simplifies this by merging the source into the volume
stanza to solve the above issues with usability, performance, and error
handling.
* adds meta object to service in job spec, sends it to consul
* adds tests for service meta
* fix tests
* adds docs
* better hashing for service meta, use helper for copying meta when registering service
* tried to be DRY, but looks like it would be more work to use the
helper function
* jobspec: breakup parse.go into smaller files
* add sidecar_task parsing to jobspec and api
* jobspec: combine service parsing logic for task and group service stanzas
* api: use slice of ConsulUpstream values instead of pointers
