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.
Plan rejections occur when the scheduler work and the leader plan
applier disagree on the feasibility of a plan. This may happen for valid
reasons: since Nomad does parallel scheduling, it is expected that
different workers will have a different state when computing placements.
As the final plan reaches the leader plan applier, it may no longer be
valid due to a concurrent scheduling taking up intended resources. In
these situations the plan applier will notify the worker that the plan
was rejected and that they should refresh their state before trying
again.
In some rare and unexpected circumstances it has been observed that
workers will repeatedly submit the same plan, even if they are always
rejected.
While the root cause is still unknown this mitigation has been put in
place. The plan applier will now track the history of plan rejections
per client and include in the plan result a list of node IDs that should
be set as ineligible if the number of rejections in a given time window
crosses a certain threshold. The window size and threshold value can be
adjusted in the server configuration.
To avoid marking several nodes as ineligible at one, the operation is rate
limited to 5 nodes every 30min, with an initial burst of 10 operations.
In order to support implicit ACL policies for tasks to get their own
secrets, each task would need to have its own ACL token. This would
add extra raft overhead as well as new garbage collection jobs for
cleaning up task-specific ACL tokens. Instead, Nomad will create a
workload Identity Claim for each task.
An Identity Claim is a JSON Web Token (JWT) signed by the server’s
private key and attached to an Allocation at the time a plan is
applied. The encoded JWT can be submitted as the X-Nomad-Token header
to replace ACL token secret IDs for the RPCs that support identity
claims.
Whenever a key is is added to a server’s keyring, it will use the key
as the seed for a Ed25519 public-private private keypair. That keypair
will be used for signing the JWT and for verifying the JWT.
This implementation is a ruthlessly minimal approach to support the
secure variables feature. When a JWT is verified, the allocation ID
will be checked against the Nomad state store, and non-existent or
terminal allocation IDs will cause the validation to be rejected. This
is sufficient to support the secure variables feature at launch
without requiring implementation of a background process to renew
soon-to-expire tokens.
Replication for the secure variables keyring. Because only key
metadata is stored in raft, we need to distribute key material
out-of-band from raft replication. A goroutine runs on each server and
watches for changes to the `RootKeyMeta`. When a new key is received,
attempt to fetch the key from the leader. If the leader doesn't have
the key (which may happen if a key is rotated right before a leader
transition), try to get the key from any peer.
When a server becomes leader, it will check if there are any keys in
the state store, and create one if there is not. The key metadata will
be replicated via raft to all followers, who will then get the key
material via key replication (not implemented in this changeset).
This changeset implements the keystore serialization/deserialization:
* Adds a JSON serialization extension for the `RootKey` struct, along with a metadata stub. When we serialize RootKey to the on-disk keystore, we want to base64 encode the key material but also exclude any frequently-changing fields which are stored in raft.
* Implements methods for loading/saving keys to the keystore.
* Implements methods for restoring the whole keystore from disk.
* Wires it all up with the `Keyring` RPC handlers and fixes up any fallout on tests.
* core: allow pause/un-pause of eval broker on region leader.
* agent: add ability to pause eval broker via scheduler config.
* cli: add operator scheduler commands to interact with config.
* api: add ability to pause eval broker via scheduler config
* e2e: add operator scheduler test for eval broker pause.
* docs: include new opertor scheduler CLI and pause eval API info.
Revert a small part of #11600 after @lgfa29 discovered it would break
compatibility with Nomad <= v1.2!
Nomad <= v1.2 expects the `vsn` tag to exist in Serf. It has always been
`1`. It has no functional purpose. However it causes a parsing error if
it is not set:
https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/blob/v1.2.6/nomad/util.go#L103-L108
This means Nomad servers at version v1.2 or older will not allow servers
without this tag to join.
The `mvn` minor version tag is also checked, but soft fails. I'm not
setting that because I want as much of this cruft gone as possible.
Downgrading the Raft version protocol is not a supported operation.
Checking for a downgrade is hard since this information is not stored in
any persistent place. When a server re-joins a cluster with a prior Raft
version, the Serf tag is updated so Nomad can't tell that the version
changed.
Mixed version clusters must be supported to allow for zero-downtime
rolling upgrades. During this it's expected that the cluster will have
mixed Raft versions. Enforcing consistency strong version consistency
would disrupt this flow.
The approach taken here is to store the Raft version on disk. When the
server starts the `raft_protocol` value is written to the file
`data_dir/raft/version`. If that file already exists, its content is
checked against the current `raft_protocol` value to detect downgrades
and prevent the server from starting.
Any other types of errors are ignore to prevent disruptions that are
outside the control of operators. The only option in cases of an invalid
or corrupt file would be to delete it, making this check useless. So
just overwrite its content with the new version and provide guidance on
how to check that their cluster is an expected state.
Nomad inherited protocol version numbering configuration from Consul and
Serf, but unlike those projects Nomad has never used it. Nomad's
`protocol_version` has always been `1`.
While the code is effectively unused and therefore poses no runtime
risks to leave, I felt like removing it was best because:
1. Nomad's RPC subsystem has been able to evolve extensively without
needing to increment the version number.
2. Nomad's HTTP API has evolved extensively without increment
`API{Major,Minor}Version`. If we want to version the HTTP API in the
future, I doubt this is the mechanism we would choose.
3. The presence of the `server.protocol_version` configuration
parameter is confusing since `server.raft_protocol` *is* an important
parameter for operators to consider. Even more confusing is that
there is a distinct Serf protocol version which is included in `nomad
server members` output under the heading `Protocol`. `raft_protocol`
is the *only* protocol version relevant to Nomad developers and
operators. The other protocol versions are either deadcode or have
never changed (Serf).
4. If we were to need to version the RPC, HTTP API, or Serf protocols, I
don't think these configuration parameters and variables are the best
choice. If we come to that point we should choose a versioning scheme
based on the use case and modern best practices -- not this 6+ year
old dead code.
This PR replaces use of time.After with a safe helper function
that creates a time.Timer to use instead. The new function returns
both a time.Timer and a Stop function that the caller must handle.
Unlike time.NewTimer, the helper function does not panic if the duration
set is <= 0.

* Throw away result of multierror.Append
When given a *multierror.Error, it is mutated, therefore the return
value is not needed.
* Simplify MergeMultierrorWarnings, use StringBuilder
* Hash.Write() never returns an error
* Remove error that was always nil
* Remove error from Resources.Add signature
When this was originally written it could return an error, but that was
refactored away, and callers of it as of today never handle the error.
* Throw away results of io.Copy during Bridge
* Handle errors when computing node class in test
* Remove Managed Sinks from Nomad
Managed Sinks were a beta feature in Nomad 1.0-beta2. During the beta
period it was determined that this was not a scalable approach to
support community and third party sinks.
* update comment
* changelog
* Improve managed sink run loop and reloading
resetCh no longer needed
length of buffer equal to count of items, not count of events in each item
update equality fn name, pr feedback
clean up sink manager sink creation
* update test to reflect changes
* bad editor find and replace
* pr feedback
* Process to send events to configured sinks
This PR adds a SinkManager to a server which is responsible for managing
managed sinks. Managed sinks subscribe to the event broker and send
events to a sink writer (webhook). When changes to the eventstore are
made the sinkmanager and managed sink are responsible for reloading or
starting a new managed sink.
* periodically check in sink progress to raft
Save progress on the last successfully sent index to raft. This allows a
managed sink to resume close to where it left off in the event of a lost
server or leadership change

This Commit adds an /v1/events/stream endpoint to stream events from.
The stream framer has been updated to include a SendFull method which
does not fragment the data between multiple frames. This essentially
treats the stream framer as a envelope to adhere to the stream framer
interface in the UI.
If the `encode` query parameter is omitted events will be streamed as
newline delimted JSON.
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
This changeset updates `nomad/volumewatcher` to take advantage of the
`CSIVolume.Unpublish` RPC. This lets us eliminate a bunch of code and
associated tests. The raft batching code can be safely dropped, as the
characteristic times of the CSI RPCs are on the order of seconds or even
minutes, so batching up raft RPCs added complexity without any real world
performance wins.
Includes refactor w/ test cleanup and dead code elimination in volumewatcher
adds in oss components to support enterprise multi-vault namespace feature
