Clarify the behavior of `restart` inheritance with respect to Connect
sidecar tasks. Remove incorrect language about the scheduler being
involved in restart decisions. Try to make the `delay` mode
documentation more clear, and provide examples of delay vs fail.
This PR exposes the following existing`consul-template` configuration options to Nomad jobspec authors in the `{job.group.task.template}` stanza.
- `wait`
It also exposes the following`consul-template` configuration to Nomad operators in the `{client.template}` stanza.
- `max_stale`
- `block_query_wait`
- `consul_retry`
- `vault_retry`
- `wait`
Finally, it adds the following new Nomad-specific configuration to the `{client.template}` stanza that allows Operators to set bounds on what `jobspec` authors configure.
- `wait_bounds`

When the scheduler picks a node for each evaluation, the
`LimitIterator` provides at most 2 eligible nodes for the
`MaxScoreIterator` to choose from. This keeps scheduling fast while
producing acceptable results because the results are binpacked.
Jobs with a `spread` block (or node affinity) remove this limit in
order to produce correct spread scoring. This means that every
allocation within a job with a `spread` block is evaluated against
_all_ eligible nodes. Operators of large clusters have reported that
jobs with `spread` blocks that are eligible on a large number of nodes
can take longer than the nack timeout to evaluate (60s). Typical
evaluations are processed in milliseconds.
In practice, it's not necessary to evaluate every eligible node for
every allocation on large clusters, because the `RandomIterator` at
the base of the scheduler stack produces enough variation in each pass
that the likelihood of an uneven spread is negligible. Note that
feasibility is checked before the limit, so this only impacts the
number of _eligible_ nodes available for scoring, not the total number
of nodes.
This changeset sets the iterator limit for "large" `spread` block and
node affinity jobs to be equal to the number of desired
allocations. This brings an example problematic job evaluation down
from ~3min to ~10s. The included tests ensure that we have acceptable
spread results across a variety of large cluster topologies.
* Mesh Gateway doc enhancements
1. I believe this line should be corrected to add mesh as one of the choices
2. I found that we are not setting this meta, and it is a required element for wan federation. I believe it would be helpful and potentially time saving to note that right here.
Update the ingress gateway documentation to remove the note stating
that a port must be specified for values in the `hosts` field when
the ingress gateway is listening on a non-standard HTTP port.
Specifying a port was required in Consul 1.8.0, but that requirement
was removed in 1.8.1 with hashicorp/consul#8190 which made Consul
include the port number when constructing the Envoy configuration.

Using `bridge` networking requires that you have CNI plugins installed
on the client, but this isn't in the jobspec `network` docs which are
the first place someone will look when trying to configure task
networking.
This PR implements a new "System Batch" scheduler type. Jobs can
make use of this new scheduler by setting their type to 'sysbatch'.
Like the name implies, sysbatch can be thought of as a hybrid between
system and batch jobs - it is for running short lived jobs intended to
run on every compatible node in the cluster.
As with batch jobs, sysbatch jobs can also be periodic and/or parameterized
dispatch jobs. A sysbatch job is considered complete when it has been run
on all compatible nodes until reaching a terminal state (success or failed
on retries).
Feasibility and preemption are governed the same as with system jobs. In
this PR, the update stanza is not yet supported. The update stanza is sill
limited in functionality for the underlying system scheduler, and is
not useful yet for sysbatch jobs. Further work in #4740 will improve
support for the update stanza and deployments.
Closes#2527
Current efs driver does not support telling it if its a `node` or a `controller`, and it will not print any error it will just ignore all other parameters then:(
So this will result in endpoint being `/tmp/csi.sock` and not `/csi/csi.sock` which will in turn break nomad/csi integration.
Also I changed the latest image tag to v1.3.2 to make sure anybody copy pasting this example is sure that it will work.
Tested on nomad 1.1.2
This PR fixes the API to _not_ set the default mesh gateway mode. Before,
the mode would be set to "none" in Canonicalize, which is incorrect. We
should pass through the empty string so that folks can make use of Consul
service-defaults Config entries to configure the default mode.
This PR implements first-class support for Nomad running Consul
Connect Mesh Gateways. Mesh gateways enable services in the Connect
mesh to make cross-DC connections via gateways, where each datacenter
may not have full node interconnectivity.
Consul docs with more information:
https://www.consul.io/docs/connect/gateways/mesh-gateway
The following group level service block can be used to establish
a Connect mesh gateway.
service {
connect {
gateway {
mesh {
// no configuration
}
}
}
}
Services can make use of a mesh gateway by configuring so in their
upstream blocks, e.g.
service {
connect {
sidecar_service {
proxy {
upstreams {
destination_name = "<service>"
local_bind_port = <port>
datacenter = "<datacenter>"
mesh_gateway {
mode = "<mode>"
}
}
}
}
}
}
Typical use of a mesh gateway is to create a bridge between datacenters.
A mesh gateway should then be configured with a service port that is
mapped from a host_network configured on a WAN interface in Nomad agent
config, e.g.
client {
host_network "public" {
interface = "eth1"
}
}
Create a port mapping in the group.network block for use by the mesh
gateway service from the public host_network, e.g.
network {
mode = "bridge"
port "mesh_wan" {
host_network = "public"
}
}
Use this port label for the service.port of the mesh gateway, e.g.
service {
name = "mesh-gateway"
port = "mesh_wan"
connect {
gateway {
mesh {}
}
}
}
Currently Envoy is the only supported gateway implementation in Consul.
By default Nomad client will run the latest official Envoy docker image
supported by the local Consul agent. The Envoy task can be customized
by setting `meta.connect.gateway_image` in agent config or by setting
the `connect.sidecar_task` block.
Gateways require Consul 1.8.0+, enforced by the Nomad scheduler.
Closes#9446
Add new `access_mode`/`attachment_mode` fields. Make it more clear which set
of fields belong to create vs register. Update the example spec that's
generated by `volume init`.
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.
Add a `PerAlloc` field to volume requests that directs the scheduler to test
feasibility for volumes with a source ID that includes the allocation index
suffix (ex. `[0]`), rather than the exact source ID.
Read the `PerAlloc` field when making the volume claim at the client to
determine if the allocation index suffix (ex. `[0]`) should be added to the
volume source ID.
In a deployment with two groups (ex. A and B), if group A's canary becomes
healthy before group B's, the deadline for the overall deployment will be set
to that of group A. When the deployment is promoted, if group A is done it
will not contribute to the next deadline cutoff. Group B's old deadline will
be used instead, which will be in the past and immediately trigger a
deployment progress failure. Reset the progress deadline when the job is
promotion to avoid this bug, and to better conform with implicit user
expectations around how the progress deadline should interact with promotions.
HCL2 locals don't have type constraints, and the map syntax is interpreted as
an object. So users may need to explictly convert to map for some functions.
The `convert` function documentation was missing the required type constructor
parameter for collections.
Block labels are not expressions so they can't be interpolated without hacks
like `dynamic` blocks. Clarify this so that we don't confuse users who
shouldn't need to dig into the subtle nuances between expressions and blocks.
Using the environment variable stopped working here a while back,
should be using the port label. Also upgrade to uuid-api:v5 which
supports linux/arm64.
This PR enables jobs configured with a custom sidecar_task to make
use of the `service.expose` feature for creating checks on services
in the service mesh. Before we would check that sidecar_task had not
been set (indicating that something other than envoy may be in use,
which would not support envoy's expose feature). However Consul has
not added support for anything other than envoy and probably never
will, so having the restriction in place seems like an unnecessary
hindrance. If Consul ever does support something other than Envoy,
they will likely find a way to provide the expose feature anyway.
Fixes#9854
Allow for readiness type checks by configuring nomad to ignore warnings
or errors reported by a service check. This allows the deployment to
progress and while Consul handles introducing the sercive into a
resource pool once the check passes.
This PR implements Nomad built-in support for running Consul Connect
terminating gateways. Such a gateway can be used by services running
inside the service mesh to access "legacy" services running outside
the service mesh while still making use of Consul's service identity
based networking and ACL policies.
https://www.consul.io/docs/connect/gateways/terminating-gateway
These gateways are declared as part of a task group level service
definition within the connect stanza.
service {
connect {
gateway {
proxy {
// envoy proxy configuration
}
terminating {
// terminating-gateway configuration entry
}
}
}
}
Currently Envoy is the only supported gateway implementation in
Consul. The gateay task can be customized by configuring the
connect.sidecar_task block.
When the gateway.terminating field is set, Nomad will write/update
the Configuration Entry into Consul on job submission. Because CEs
are global in scope and there may be more than one Nomad cluster
communicating with Consul, there is an assumption that any terminating
gateway defined in Nomad for a particular service will be the same
among Nomad clusters.
Gateways require Consul 1.8.0+, checked by a node constraint.
Closes#9445
