This PR updates the changelog, adds notes the 1.3 upgrade guide, and
updates the connect integration docs with documentation about the new
requirement on Consul ACL policies of Consul agent default anonymous ACL
tokens.
This PR adds validation during job submission that Connect proxy upstreams
within a task group are using different listener addresses. Otherwise, a
duplicate envoy listener will be created and not be able to bind.
Closes#7833
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
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
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
This PR implements Nomad built-in support for running Consul Connect
terminating gateways. Such a gateway can be used by services running
inside the service mesh to access "legacy" services running outside
the service mesh while still making use of Consul's service identity
based networking and ACL policies.
https://www.consul.io/docs/connect/gateways/terminating-gateway
These gateways are declared as part of a task group level service
definition within the connect stanza.
service {
connect {
gateway {
proxy {
// envoy proxy configuration
}
terminating {
// terminating-gateway configuration entry
}
}
}
}
Currently Envoy is the only supported gateway implementation in
Consul. The gateay task can be customized by configuring the
connect.sidecar_task block.
When the gateway.terminating field is set, Nomad will write/update
the Configuration Entry into Consul on job submission. Because CEs
are global in scope and there may be more than one Nomad cluster
communicating with Consul, there is an assumption that any terminating
gateway defined in Nomad for a particular service will be the same
among Nomad clusters.
Gateways require Consul 1.8.0+, checked by a node constraint.
Closes#9445
* Prevent Job Statuses from being calculated twice
https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/pull/8435 introduced atomic eval
insertion iwth job (de-)registration. This change removes a now obsolete
guard which checked if the index was equal to the job.CreateIndex, which
would empty the status. Now that the job regisration eval insetion is
atomic with the registration this check is no longer necessary to set
the job statuses correctly.
* test to ensure only single job event for job register
* periodic e2e
* separate job update summary step
* fix updatejobstability to use copy instead of modified reference of job
* update envoygatewaybindaddresses copy to prevent job diff on null vs empty
* set ConsulGatewayBindAddress to empty map instead of nil
fix nil assertions for empty map
rm unnecessary guard
If the connect.proxy stanza is left unset, the connection timeout
value is not set but is assumed to be, and may cause a non-fatal NPE
on job submission.
Add the ability to configure the Task used for Connect gateways,
similar to how sidecar Task can be configured.
The implementation here simply re-uses the sidecar_task stanza,
and now gets applied whether connect.sidecar_service or
connect.gateway is the thing being defined. In retrospect,
connect.sidecar_task could have been more generically named
like connect.task to make it a little more re-usable.
Closes#9474
Nomad v1.0.0 introduced a regression where the client configurations
for `connect.sidecar_image` and `connect.gateway_image` would be
ignored despite being set. This PR restores that functionality.
There was a missing layer of interpolation that needs to occur for
these parameters. Since Nomad 1.0 now supports dynamic envoy versioning
through the ${NOMAD_envoy_version} psuedo variable, we basically need
to first interpolate
${connect.sidecar_image} => envoyproxy/envoy:v${NOMAD_envoy_version}
then use Consul at runtime to resolve to a real image, e.g.
envoyproxy/envoy:v${NOMAD_envoy_version} => envoyproxy/envoy:v1.16.0
Of course, if the version of Consul is too old to provide an envoy
version preference, we then need to know to fallback to the old
version of envoy that we used before.
envoyproxy/envoy:v${NOMAD_envoy_version} => envoyproxy/envoy:v1.11.2@sha256:a7769160c9c1a55bb8d07a3b71ce5d64f72b1f665f10d81aa1581bc3cf850d09
Beyond that, we also need to continue to support jobs that set the
sidecar task themselves, e.g.
sidecar_task { config { image: "custom/envoy" } }
which itself could include teh pseudo envoy version variable.
Applying the default --concurrency for gateways was missed before.
Set the default Envoy concurrency to 1 for connect gateways. The
same override value meta.connect.proxy_concurrency applies.
This PR enables job submitters to use interpolation in the connect
block of jobs making use of consul connect. Before, only the name of
the connect service would be interpolated, and only for a few select
identifiers related to the job itself (#6853). Now, all connect fields
can be interpolated using the full spectrum of runtime parameters.
Note that the service name is interpolated at job-submission time,
and cannot make use of values known only at runtime.
Fixes#7221
Previously, every Envoy Connect sidecar would spawn as many worker
threads as logical CPU cores. That is Envoy's default behavior when
`--concurrency` is not explicitly set. Nomad now sets the concurrency
flag to 1, which is sensible for the default cpu = 250 Mhz resources
allocated for sidecar proxies. The concurrency value can be configured
in Client configuration by setting `meta.connect.proxy_concurrency`.
Closes#9341
As newer versions of Consul are released, the minimum version of Envoy
it supports as a sidecar proxy also gets bumped. Starting with the upcoming
Consul v1.9.X series, Envoy v1.11.X will no longer be supported. Current
versions of Nomad hardcode a version of Envoy v1.11.2 to be used as the
default implementation of Connect sidecar proxy.
This PR introduces a change such that each Nomad Client will query its
local Consul for a list of Envoy proxies that it supports (https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/pull/8545)
and then launch the Connect sidecar proxy task using the latest supported version
of Envoy. If the `SupportedProxies` API component is not available from
Consul, Nomad will fallback to the old version of Envoy supported by old
versions of Consul.
Setting the meta configuration option `meta.connect.sidecar_image` or
setting the `connect.sidecar_task` stanza will take precedence as is
the current behavior for sidecar proxies.
Setting the meta configuration option `meta.connect.gateway_image`
will take precedence as is the current behavior for connect gateways.
`meta.connect.sidecar_image` and `meta.connect.gateway_image` may make
use of the special `${NOMAD_envoy_version}` variable interpolation, which
resolves to the newest version of Envoy supported by the Consul agent.
Addresses #8585#7665
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, the service definition for a Connect Native service would always
require setting the `service.task` parameter. Now, that parameter is
automatically inferred when there is only one task in the task group.
Fixes#8274
This PR adds the capability of running Connect Native Tasks on Nomad,
particularly when TLS and ACLs are enabled on Consul.
The `connect` stanza now includes a `native` parameter, which can be
set to the name of task that backs the Connect Native Consul service.
There is a new Client configuration parameter for the `consul` stanza
called `share_ssl`. Like `allow_unauthenticated` the default value is
true, but recommended to be disabled in production environments. When
enabled, the Nomad Client's Consul TLS information is shared with
Connect Native tasks through the normal Consul environment variables.
This does NOT include auth or token information.
If Consul ACLs are enabled, Service Identity Tokens are automatically
and injected into the Connect Native task through the CONSUL_HTTP_TOKEN
environment variable.
Any of the automatically set environment variables can be overridden by
the Connect Native task using the `env` stanza.
Fixes#6083
Fixes#8000
When requesting a Service Identity token from Consul, use the TaskKind
of the Task to get at the service name associated with the task. In
the past using the TaskName worked because it was generated as a sidecar
task with a name that included the service. In the Native context, we
need to get at the service name in a more correct way, i.e. using the
TaskKind which is defined to include the service name.
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).
Nomad jobs may be configured with a TaskGroup which contains a Service
definition that is Consul Connect enabled. These service definitions end
up establishing a Consul Connect Proxy Task (e.g. envoy, by default). In
the case where Consul ACLs are enabled, a Service Identity token is required
for these tasks to run & connect, etc. This changeset enables the Nomad Server
to recieve RPC requests for the derivation of SI tokens on behalf of instances
of Consul Connect using Tasks. Those tokens are then relayed back to the
requesting Client, which then injects the tokens in the secrets directory of
the Task.
Fixes#6853
Canonicalize jobs first before adding any sidecars. This fixes a bug
where sidecar tasks were added without interpolated names and broke
validation. Sidecar tasks must be canonicalized independently.
Also adds a group network to the mock connect job because it wasn't a
valid connect job before!
The existing version constraint uses logic optimized for package
managers, not schedulers, when checking prereleases:
- 1.3.0-beta1 will *not* satisfy ">= 0.6.1"
- 1.7.0-rc1 will *not* satisfy ">= 1.6.0-beta1"
This is due to package managers wishing to favor final releases over
prereleases.
In a scheduler versions more often represent the earliest release all
required features/APIs are available in a system. Whether the constraint
or the version being evaluated are prereleases has no impact on
ordering.
This commit adds a new constraint - `semver` - which will use Semver
v2.0 ordering when evaluating constraints. Given the above examples:
- 1.3.0-beta1 satisfies ">= 0.6.1" using `semver`
- 1.7.0-rc1 satisfies ">= 1.6.0-beta1" using `semver`
Since existing jobspecs may rely on the old behavior, a new constraint
was added and the implicit Consul Connect and Vault constraints were
updated to use it.
`groupConnectHook` assumes that Networks is a non-empty slice, but TG
hasn't been validated yet and validation may depend on mutation results.
As such, we do basic check here before dereferencing network slice
elements.
