* docs: move CNI reference plugins installation to CNI overview page
This PR moves the instruction steps for install the CNI reference plugins
from the Consul Mesh integration page to the general Networking CNI page.
These plugins are required for bridge networking, not just Consul Mesh,
so it makes sense to have them on the general CNI page.
Closes#17038
* docs: fix a link to post install steps
* largely a doc-ification of this commit message:
d47678074bf8ae9ff2da3c91d0729bf03aee8446
this doesn't spell out all the possible failure modes,
but should be a good starting point for folks.
* connect: add doc link to envoy bootstrap error
* add Unwrap() to RecoverableError
mainly for easier testing
* [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.
After a more detailed analysis of this feature, the approach taken in
PR #12449 was found to be not ideal due to poor UX (users are
responsible for setting the entity alias they would like to use) and
issues around jobs potentially masquerading itself as another Vault
entity.
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.
Move some common Vault API data struct decoding out of the Vault client
so it can be reused in other situations.
Make Vault job validation its own function so it's easier to expand it.
Rename the `Job.VaultPolicies` method to just `Job.Vault` since it
returns the full Vault block, not just their policies.
Set `ChangeMode` on `Vault.Canonicalize`.
Add some missing tests.
Allows specifying an entity alias that will be used by Nomad when
deriving the task Vault token.
An entity alias assigns an indentity to a token, allowing better control
and management of Vault clients since all tokens with the same indentity
alias will now be considered the same client. This helps track Nomad
activity in Vault's audit logs and better control over Vault billing.
Add support for a new Nomad server configuration to define a default
entity alias to be used when deriving Vault tokens. This default value
will be used if the task doesn't have an entity alias defined.
Tweaks to the commands in Consul Connect page.
For multi-command scripts, having the leading `$` is a bit annoying, as it makes copying the text harder. Also, the `copy` button would only copy the first command and ignore the rest.
Also, the `echo 1 > ...` commands are required to run as root, unlike the rest! I made them use `| sudo tee` pattern to ease copy & paste as well.
Lastly, update the CNI plugin links to 1.0.0. It's fresh off the oven - just got released less than an hour ago: https://github.com/containernetworking/plugins/releases/tag/v1.0.0 .
This PR adds the common OSS changes for adding support for Consul Namespaces,
which is going to be a Nomad Enterprise feature. There is no new functionality
provided by this changeset and hopefully no new bugs.
