This changeset covers a sidebar discussion that @schmichael and I had around the
design for pre-forwarding auth. This includes some changes extracted out of
#15513 to make it easier to review both and leave a clean history.
* Remove fast path for NodeID. Previously-connected clients will have a NodeID
set on the context, and because this is a large portion of the RPCs sent we
fast-pathed it at the top of the `Authenticate` method. But the context is
shared for all yamux streams over the same yamux session (and TCP
connection). This lets an authenticated HTTP request to a client use the
NodeID for authentication, which is a privilege escalation. Remove the fast
path and annotate it so that we don't break it again.
* Add context to decisions around AuthenticatedIdentity. The `Authenticate`
method taken on its own looks like it wants to return an `acl.ACL` that folds
over all the various identity types (creating an ephemeral ACL on the fly if
neccessary). But keeping these fields idependent allows RPC handlers to
differentiate between internal and external origins so we most likely want to
avoid this. Leave some docstrings as a warning as to why this is built the way
it is.
* Mutate the request rather than returning. When reviewing #15513 we decided
that forcing the request handler to call `SetIdentity` was repetitive and
error prone. Instead, the `Authenticate` method mutates the request by setting
its `AuthenticatedIdentity`.
API and RPC endpoints for ACLAuthMethods and ACLBindingRules should allow users
to send incomplete objects in order to, e.g., update single fields. This PR
provides "merging" functionality for these endpoints.
ACL binding rule create and deletes are always forwarded to the
authoritative region. In order to make these available in
federated regions, the leaders in these regions need to replicate
from the authoritative.
This change adds a new table that will store ACL binding rule
objects. The two indexes allow fast lookups by their ID, or by
which auth method they are linked to. Snapshot persist and
restore functionality ensures this table can be saved and
restored from snapshots.
In order to write and delete the object to state, new Raft messages
have been added.
All RPC request and response structs, along with object functions
such as diff and canonicalize have been included within this work
as it is nicely separated from the other areas of work.
* artifact: enable inheriting environment variables from client
This PR adds client configuration for specifying environment variables that
should be inherited by the artifact sandbox process from the Nomad Client agent.
Most users should not need to set these values but the configuration is provided
to ensure backwards compatability. Configuration of go-getter should ideally be
done through the artifact block in a jobspec task.
e.g.
```hcl
client {
artifact {
set_environment_variables = "TMPDIR,GIT_SSH_OPTS"
}
}
```
Closes#15498
* website: update set_environment_variables text to mention PATH
This PR adds the client config option for turning off filesystem isolation,
applicable on Linux systems where filesystem isolation is possible and
enabled by default.
```hcl
client{
artifact {
disable_filesystem_isolation = <bool:false>
}
}
```
Closes#15496
Upcoming work to instrument the rate of RPC requests by consumer (and eventually
rate limit) require that we authenticate a RPC request before forwarding. Add a
new top-level `Authenticate` method to the server and have it return an
`AuthenticatedIdentity` struct. RPC handlers will use the relevant fields of
this identity for performing authorization.
This changeset includes:
* The main implementation of `Authenticate`
* Provide a new RPC `ACL.WhoAmI` for debugging authentication. This endpoint
returns the same `AuthenticatedIdentity` that will be used by RPC handlers. At
some point we might want to give this an equivalent HTTP endpoint but I didn't
want to add that to our public API until some of the other Workload Identity
work is solidified, especially if we don't need it yet.
* A full coverage test of the `Authenticate` method. This sets up two server
nodes with mTLS and ACLs, some tokens, and some allocations with workload
identities.
* Wire up an example of using `Authenticate` in the `Namespace.Upsert` RPC and
see how authorization happens after forwarding.
* A new semgrep rule for `Authenticate`, which we'll need to update once we're
ready to wire up more RPC endpoints with authorization steps.
Currently CRUD code that operates on SSO auth methods does not return created or updated object upon creation/update. This is bad UX and inconsistent behavior compared to other ACL objects like roles, policies or tokens.
This PR fixes it.
Relates to #13120
* scheduler: create placements for non-register MRD
For multiregion jobs, the scheduler does not create placements on
registration because the deployment must wait for the other regions.
Once of these regions will then trigger the deployment to run.
Currently, this is done in the scheduler by considering any eval for a
multiregion job as "paused" since it's expected that another region will
eventually unpause it.
This becomes a problem where evals not triggered by a job registration
happen, such as on a node update. These types of regional changes do not
have other regions waiting to progress the deployment, and so they were
never resulting in placements.
The fix is to create a deployment at job registration time. This
additional piece of state allows the scheduler to differentiate between
a multiregion change, where there are other regions engaged in the
deployment so no placements are required, from a regional change, where
the scheduler does need to create placements.
This deployment starts in the new "initializing" status to signal to the
scheduler that it needs to compute the initial deployment state. The
multiregion deployment will wait until this deployment state is
persisted and its starts is set to "pending". Without this state
transition it's possible to hit a race condition where the plan applier
and the deployment watcher may step of each other and overwrite their
changes.
* changelog: add entry for #15325
During unusual outage recovery scenarios on large clusters, a backlog of
millions of evaluations can appear. In these cases, the `eval delete` command can
put excessive load on the cluster by listing large sets of evals to extract the
IDs and then sending larges batches of IDs. Although the command's batch size
was carefully tuned, we still need to be JSON deserialize, re-serialize to
MessagePack, send the log entries through raft, and get the FSM applied.
To improve performance of this recovery case, move the batching process into the
RPC handler and the state store. The design here is a little weird, so let's
look a the failed options first:
* A naive solution here would be to just send the filter as the raft request and
let the FSM apply delete the whole set in a single operation. Benchmarking with
1M evals on a 3 node cluster demonstrated this can block the FSM apply for
several minutes, which puts the cluster at risk if there's a leadership
failover (the barrier write can't be made while this apply is in-flight).
* A less naive but still bad solution would be to have the RPC handler filter
and paginate, and then hand a list of IDs to the existing raft log
entry. Benchmarks showed this blocked the FSM apply for 20-30s at a time and
took roughly an hour to complete.
Instead, we're filtering and paginating in the RPC handler to find a page token,
and then passing both the filter and page token in the raft log. The FSM apply
recreates the paginator using the filter and page token to get roughly the same
page of evaluations, which it then deletes. The pagination process is fairly
cheap (only abut 5% of the total FSM apply time), so counter-intuitively this
rework ends up being much faster. A benchmark of 1M evaluations showed this
blocked the FSM apply for 20-30ms at a time (typical for normal operations) and
completes in less than 4 minutes.
Note that, as with the existing design, this delete is not consistent: a new
evaluation inserted "behind" the cursor of the pagination will fail to be
deleted.
This PR implements ACLAuthMethod type, acl_auth_methods table schema and crud state store methods. It also updates nomadSnapshot.Persist and nomadSnapshot.Restore methods in order for them to work with the new table, and adds two new Raft messages: ACLAuthMethodsUpsertRequestType and ACLAuthMethodsDeleteRequestType
This PR is part of the SSO work captured under ☂️ ticket #13120.
Add a new `Eval.Count` RPC and associated HTTP API endpoints. This API is
designed to support interactive use in the `nomad eval delete` command to get a
count of evals expected to be deleted before doing so.
The state store operations to do this sort of thing are somewhat expensive, but
it's cheaper than serializing a big list of evals to JSON. Note that although it
seems like this could be done as an extra parameter and response field on
`Eval.List`, having it as its own endpoint avoids having to change the response
body shape and lets us avoid handling the legacy filter params supported by
`Eval.List`.
* scheduler: allow updates after alloc reconnects
When an allocation reconnects to a cluster the scheduler needs to run
special logic to handle the reconnection, check if a replacement was
create and stop one of them.
If the allocation kept running while the node was disconnected, it will
be reconnected with `ClientStatus: running` and the node will have
`Status: ready`. This combination is the same as the normal steady state
of allocation, where everything is running as expected.
In order to differentiate between the two states (an allocation that is
reconnecting and one that is just running) the scheduler needs an extra
piece of state.
The current implementation uses the presence of a
`TaskClientReconnected` task event to detect when the allocation has
reconnected and thus must go through the reconnection process. But this
event remains even after the allocation is reconnected, causing all
future evals to consider the allocation as still reconnecting.
This commit changes the reconnect logic to use an `AllocState` to
register when the allocation was reconnected. This provides the
following benefits:
- Only a limited number of task states are kept, and they are used for
many other events. It's possible that, upon reconnecting, several
actions are triggered that could cause the `TaskClientReconnected`
event to be dropped.
- Task events are set by clients and so their timestamps are subject
to time skew from servers. This prevents using time to determine if
an allocation reconnected after a disconnect event.
- Disconnect events are already stored as `AllocState` and so storing
reconnects there as well makes it the only source of information
required.
With the new logic, the reconnection logic is only triggered if the
last `AllocState` is a disconnect event, meaning that the allocation has
not been reconnected yet. After the reconnection is handled, the new
`ClientStatus` is store in `AllocState` allowing future evals to skip
the reconnection logic.
* scheduler: prevent spurious placement on reconnect
When a client reconnects it makes two independent RPC calls:
- `Node.UpdateStatus` to heartbeat and set its status as `ready`.
- `Node.UpdateAlloc` to update the status of its allocations.
These two calls can happen in any order, and in case the allocations are
updated before a heartbeat it causes the state to be the same as a node
being disconnected: the node status will still be `disconnected` while
the allocation `ClientStatus` is set to `running`.
The current implementation did not handle this order of events properly,
and the scheduler would create an unnecessary placement since it
considered the allocation was being disconnected. This extra allocation
would then be quickly stopped by the heartbeat eval.
This commit adds a new code path to handle this order of events. If the
node is `disconnected` and the allocation `ClientStatus` is `running`
the scheduler will check if the allocation is actually reconnecting
using its `AllocState` events.
* rpc: only allow alloc updates from `ready` nodes
Clients interact with servers using three main RPC methods:
- `Node.GetAllocs` reads allocation data from the server and writes it
to the client.
- `Node.UpdateAlloc` reads allocation from from the client and writes
them to the server.
- `Node.UpdateStatus` writes the client status to the server and is
used as the heartbeat mechanism.
These three methods are called periodically by the clients and are done
so independently from each other, meaning that there can't be any
assumptions in their ordering.
This can generate scenarios that are hard to reason about and to code
for. For example, when a client misses too many heartbeats it will be
considered `down` or `disconnected` and the allocations it was running
are set to `lost` or `unknown`.
When connectivity is restored the to rest of the cluster, the natural
mental model is to think that the client will heartbeat first and then
update its allocations status into the servers.
But since there's no inherit order in these calls the reverse is just as
possible: the client updates the alloc status and then heartbeats. This
results in a state where allocs are, for example, `running` while the
client is still `disconnected`.
This commit adds a new verification to the `Node.UpdateAlloc` method to
reject updates from nodes that are not `ready`, forcing clients to
heartbeat first. Since this check is done server-side there is no need
to coordinate operations client-side: they can continue sending these
requests independently and alloc update will succeed after the heartbeat
is done.
* chagelog: add entry for #15068
* code review
* client: skip terminal allocations on reconnect
When the client reconnects with the server it synchronizes the state of
its allocations by sending data using the `Node.UpdateAlloc` RPC and
fetching data using the `Node.GetClientAllocs` RPC.
If the data fetch happens before the data write, `unknown` allocations
will still be in this state and would trigger the
`allocRunner.Reconnect` flow.
But when the server `DesiredStatus` for the allocation is `stop` the
client should not reconnect the allocation.
* apply more code review changes
* scheduler: persist changes to reconnected allocs
Reconnected allocs have a new AllocState entry that must be persisted by
the plan applier.
* rpc: read node ID from allocs in UpdateAlloc
The AllocUpdateRequest struct is used in three disjoint use cases:
1. Stripped allocs from clients Node.UpdateAlloc RPC using the Allocs,
and WriteRequest fields
2. Raft log message using the Allocs, Evals, and WriteRequest fields
3. Plan updates using the AllocsStopped, AllocsUpdated, and Job fields
Adding a new field that would only be used in one these cases (1) made
things more confusing and error prone. While in theory an
AllocUpdateRequest could send allocations from different nodes, in
practice this never actually happens since only clients call this method
with their own allocations.
* scheduler: remove logic to handle exceptional case
This condition could only be hit if, somehow, the allocation status was
set to "running" while the client was "unknown". This was addressed by
enforcing an order in "Node.UpdateStatus" and "Node.UpdateAlloc" RPC
calls, so this scenario is not expected to happen.
Adding unnecessary code to the scheduler makes it harder to read and
reason about it.

When replication of a single key fails, the replication loop breaks early and
therefore keys that fall later in the sorting order will never get
replicated. This is particularly a problem for clusters impacted by the bug that
caused #14981 and that were later upgraded; the keys that were never replicated
can now never be replicated, and so we need to handle them safely.
Included in the replication fix:
* Refactor the replication loop so that each key replicated in a function call
that returns an error, to make the workflow more clear and reduce nesting. Log
the error and continue.
* Improve stability of keyring replication tests. We no longer block leadership
on initializing the keyring, so there's a race condition in the keyring tests
where we can test for the existence of the root key before the keyring has
been initialize. Change this to an "eventually" test.
But these fixes aren't enough to fix#14981 because they'll end up seeing an
error once a second complaining about the missing key, so we also need to fix
keyring GC so the keys can be removed from the state store. Now we'll store the
key ID used to sign a workload identity in the Allocation, and we'll index the
Allocation table on that so we can track whether any live Allocation was signed
with a particular key ID.
ACL tokens are granted permissions either by direct policy links
or via ACL role links. Callers should therefore be able to read
policies directly assigned to the caller token or indirectly by
ACL role links.
This changes adds ACL role creation and deletion to the event
stream. It is exposed as a single topic with two types; the filter
is primarily the role ID but also includes the role name.
While conducting this work it was also discovered that the events
stream has its own ACL resolution logic. This did not account for
ACL tokens which included role links, or tokens with expiry times.
ACL role links are now resolved to their policies and tokens are
checked for expiry correctly.
This PR adds a jobspec mutator to constrain jobs making use of checks
in the nomad service provider to nomad clients of at least v1.4.0.
Before, in a mixed client version cluster it was possible to submit
an NSD job making use of checks and for that job to land on an older,
incompatible client node.
Closes#14862
This PR removes the assertion around when the 'task' field of
a check may be set. Starting in Nomad 1.4 we automatically set
the task field on all checks in support of the NSD checks feature.
This is causing validation problems elsewhere, e.g. when a group
service using the Consul provider sets 'task' it will fail
validation that worked previously.
The assertion of leaving 'task' unset was only about making sure
job submitters weren't expecting some behavior, but in practice
is causing bugs now that we need the task field for more than it
was originally added for.
We can simply update the docs, noting when the task field set by
job submitters actually has value.

This PR implements support for check_restart for checks registered
in the Nomad service provider.
Unlike Consul, Nomad service checks never report a "warning" status,
and so the check_restart.ignore_warnings configuration is not valid
for Nomad service checks.
Restrict variable paths to RFC3986 URL-safe characters that don't conflict with
the use of characters "@" and "." in `template` blocks. This prevents users from
writing variables that will require tricky templating syntax or that they simply
won't be able to use.
Also restrict the length so that a user can't make queries in the state store
unusually expensive (as they are O(k) on the key length).
This PR refactors agent/consul/check_watcher into client/serviceregistration,
and abstracts away the Consul-specific check lookups.
In doing so we should be able to reuse the existing check watcher logic for
also watching NSD checks in a followup PR.
A chunk of consul/unit_test.go is removed - we'll cover that in e2e tests
in a follow PR if needed. In the long run I'd like to remove this whole file.
A Nomad user reported problems with CSI volumes associated with failed
allocations, where the Nomad server did not send a controller unpublish RPC.
The controller unpublish is skipped if other non-terminal allocations on the
same node claim the volume. The check has a bug where the allocation belonging
to the claim being freed was included in the check incorrectly. During a normal
allocation stop for job stop or a new version of the job, the allocation is
terminal. But allocations that fail are not yet marked terminal at the point in
time when the client sends the unpublish RPC to the server.
For CSI plugins that support controller attach/detach, this means that the
controller will not be able to detach the volume from the allocation's host and
the replacement claim will fail until a GC is run. This changeset fixes the
conditional so that the claim's own allocation is not included, and makes the
logic easier to read. Include a test case covering this path.
Also includes two minor extra bugfixes:
* Entities we get from the state store should always be copied before
altering. Ensure that we copy the volume in the top-level unpublish workflow
before handing off to the steps.
* The list stub object for volumes in `nomad/structs` did not match the stub
object in `api`. The `api` package also did not include the current
readers/writers fields that are expected by the UI. True up the two objects and
add the previously undocumented fields to the docs.
Nomad's original autopilot was importing from a private package in Consul. It
has been moved out to a shared library. Switch Nomad to use this library so that
we can eliminate the import of Consul, which is necessary to build Nomad ENT
with the current version of the Consul SDK. This also will let us pick up
autopilot improvements shared with Consul more easily.
Update the on-disk format for the root key so that it's wrapped with a unique
per-key/per-server key encryption key. This is a bit of security theatre for the
current implementation, but it uses `go-kms-wrapping` as the interface for
wrapping the key. This provides a shim for future support of external KMS such
as cloud provider APIs or Vault transit encryption.
* Removes the JSON serialization extension we had on the `RootKey` struct; this
struct is now only used for key replication and not for disk serialization, so
we don't need this helper.
* Creates a helper for generating cryptographically random slices of bytes that
properly accounts for short reads from the source.
* No observable functional changes outside of the on-disk format, so there are
no test updates.
