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.

Before, we only passed the Nomad agent's configured Consul HTTP
address onto the `consul connect envoy ...` bootstrap command.
This meant any Consul setup with TLS enabled would not work with
Nomad's Connect integration.
This change now sets CLI args and Environment Variables for
configuring TLS options for communicating with Consul when doing
the envoy bootstrap, as described in
https://www.consul.io/docs/commands/connect/envoy.html#usage
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.
When creating the envoy bootstrap configuration, we should append
the "-token=<token>" argument in the case where the sidsHook placed
the token in the secrets directory.
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.
When a job is configured with Consul Connect aware tasks (i.e. sidecar),
the Nomad Client should be able to request from Consul (through Nomad Server)
Service Identity tokens specific to those tasks.
Operators commonly have docker logs aggregated using various tools and
don't need nomad to manage their docker logs. Worse, Nomad uses a
somewhat heavy docker api call to collect them and it seems to cause
problems when a client runs hundreds of log collections.
Here we add a knob to disable log aggregation completely for nomad.
When log collection is disabled, we avoid running logmon and
docker_logger for the docker tasks in this implementation.
The downside here is once disabled, `nomad logs ...` commands and API
no longer return logs and operators must corrolate alloc-ids with their
aggregated log info.
This is meant as a stop gap measure. Ideally, we'd follow up with at
least two changes:
First, we should optimize behavior when we can such that operators don't
need to disable docker log collection. Potentially by reverting to
using pre-0.9 syslog aggregation in linux environments, though with
different trade-offs.
Second, when/if logs are disabled, nomad logs endpoints should lookup
docker logs api on demand. This ensures that the cost of log collection
is paid sparingly.

The prestart hook for templates blocks while it resolves vault secrets.
If the secret is not found it continues to retry. If a task is shutdown
during this time, the prestart hook currently does not receive
shutdownCtxCancel, causing it to hang.
This PR joins the two contexts so either killCtx or shutdownCtx cancel
and stop the task.
In Nomad prior to Consul Connect, all Consul checks work the same
except for Script checks. Because the Task being checked is running in
its own container namespaces, the check is executed by Nomad in the
Task's context. If the Script check passes, Nomad uses the TTL check
feature of Consul to update the check status. This means in order to
run a Script check, we need to know what Task to execute it in.
To support Consul Connect, we need Group Services, and these need to
be registered in Consul along with their checks. We could push the
Service down into the Task, but this doesn't work if someone wants to
associate a service with a task's ports, but do script checks in
another task in the allocation.
Because Nomad is handling the Script check and not Consul anyways,
this moves the script check handling into the task runner so that the
task runner can own the script check's configuration and
lifecycle. This will allow us to pass the group service check
configuration down into a task without associating the service itself
with the task.
When tasks are checked for script checks, we walk back through their
task group to see if there are script checks associated with the
task. If so, we'll spin off script check tasklets for them. The
group-level service and any restart behaviors it needs are entirely
encapsulated within the group service hook.
Fixes#6041
Unlike all other Consul operations, boostrapping requires Consul be
available. This PR tries Consul 3 times with a backoff to account for
the group services being asynchronously registered with Consul.
This commit is a significant change. TR.Run is now always executed, even
for terminal allocations. This was changed to allow TR.Run to cleanup
(run stop hooks) if a handle was recovered.
This is intended to handle the case of Nomad receiving a
DesiredStatus=Stop allocation update, persisting it, but crashing before
stopping AR/TR.
The commit also renames task runner hook data as it was very easy to
accidently set state on Requests instead of Responses using the old
field names.
0.9.0beta2 contains a regression where artifact download errors would
not cause a task restart and instead immediately fail the task.
This restores the pre-0.9 behavior of retrying all artifact errors and
adds missing tests.
This PR improves how killing a task is handled. Before the kill function
directly orchestrated the killing and was only valid while the task was
running. The new behavior is to mark the desired state and wait for the
task runner to converge to that state.
The old approach was incomplete. Hook env vars are now:
* persisted and restored between agent restarts
* deterministic (LWW if 2 hooks set the same key)
This PR introduces a device hook that retrieves the device mount
information for an allocation. It also updates the computed node class
computation to take into account devices.
TODO Fix the task runner unit test. The environment variable is being
lost even though it is being properly set in the prestart hook.
* Migrated all of the old leader task tests and got them passing
* Refactor and consolidate task killing code in AR to always kill leader
tasks first
* Fixed lots of issues with state restoring
* Fixed deadlock in AR.Destroy if AR.Run had never been called
* Added a new in memory statedb for testing
