This PR fixes a bug where the underlying Envoy process of a Connect gateway
would consume a full core of CPU if there is more than one sidecar or gateway
in a group. The utilization was being caused by Consul injecting an envoy_ready_listener
on 127.0.0.1:8443, of which only one of the Envoys would be able to bind to.
The others would spin in a hot loop trying to bind the listener.
As a workaround, we now specify -address during the Envoy bootstrap config
step, which is how Consul maps this ready listener. Because there is already
the envoy_admin_listener, and we need to continue supporting running gateways
in host networking mode, and in those case we want to use the same port
value coming from the service.port field, we now bind the admin listener to
the 127.0.0.2 loop-back interface, and the ready listener takes 127.0.0.1.
This shouldn't make a difference in the 99.999% use case where envoy is
being run in its official docker container. Advanced users can reference
${NOMAD_ENVOY_ADMIN_ADDR_<service>} (as they 'ought to) if needed,
as well as the new variable ${NOMAD_ENVOY_READY_ADDR_<service>} for the
envoy_ready_listener.
This PR makes it so that Nomad will automatically set the CONSUL_TLS_SERVER_NAME
environment variable for Connect native tasks running in bridge networking mode
where Consul has TLS enabled. Because of the use of a unix domain socket for
communicating with Consul when in bridge networking mode, the server name is
a file name instead of something compatible with the mTLS certificate Consul
will authenticate against. "localhost" is by default a compatible name, so Nomad
will set the environment variable to that.
Fixes#10804
Follow up to memory oversubscription - expose an env-var to indicate when memory oversubscription is enabled and what the limit is.
This will be helpful for setting hints to app for memory management.
