Fix a bug where consul service definitions would not be updated if changes
were made to the service in the Nomad job. Currently this only fixes the
bug for cases where the fix is a matter of updating consul agent's service
registration. There is related bug where destructive changes are required
(see #6877) which will be fixed in another PR.
The enable_tag_override configuration setting for the parent service is
applied to the sidecar service.
Fixes#6459
Consul CLI uses CONSUL_HTTP_TOKEN, so Nomad should use the same.
Note that consul-template uses CONSUL_TOKEN, which Nomad also uses,
so be careful to preserve any reference to that in the consul-template
context.
Consul provides a feature of Service Definitions where the tags
associated with a service can be modified through the Catalog API,
overriding the value(s) configured in the agent's service configuration.
To enable this feature, the flag enable_tag_override must be configured
in the service definition.
Previously, Nomad did not allow configuring this flag, and thus the default
value of false was used. Now, it is configurable.
Because Nomad itself acts as a state machine around the the service definitions
of the tasks it manages, it's worth describing what happens when this feature
is enabled and why.
Consider the basic case where there is no Nomad, and your service is provided
to consul as a boring JSON file. The ultimate source of truth for the definition
of that service is the file, and is stored in the agent. Later, Consul performs
"anti-entropy" which synchronizes the Catalog (stored only the leaders). Then
with enable_tag_override=true, the tags field is available for "external"
modification through the Catalog API (rather than directly configuring the
service definition file, or using the Agent API). The important observation
is that if the service definition ever changes (i.e. the file is changed &
config reloaded OR the Agent API is used to modify the service), those
"external" tag values are thrown away, and the new service definition is
once again the source of truth.
In the Nomad case, Nomad itself is the source of truth over the Agent in
the same way the JSON file was the source of truth in the example above.
That means any time Nomad sets a new service definition, any externally
configured tags are going to be replaced. When does this happen? Only on
major lifecycle events, for example when a task is modified because of an
updated job spec from the 'nomad job run <existing>' command. Otherwise,
Nomad's periodic re-sync's with Consul will now no longer try to restore
the externally modified tag values (as long as enable_tag_override=true).
Fixes#2057
The default RPC addr was a global which is fine for normal runtime use
when it only has a single user.
However many tests modify it and cause races. Follow our convention of
returning defaults from funcs instead of using globals.
MultiplexV2 is a new connection multiplex header that supports multiplex both
RPC and streaming requests over the same Yamux connection.
MultiplexV2 was added in 0.8.0 as part of
https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/pull/3892 . So Nomad 0.11 can expect it to
be supported. Though, some more rigorous testing is required before merging
this.
I want to call out some implementation details:
First, the current connection pool reuses the Yamux stream for multiple RPC calls,
and doesn't close them until an error is encountered. This commit doesn't
change it, and sets the `RpcNomad` byte only at stream creation.
Second, the StreamingRPC session gets closed by callers and cannot be reused.
Every StreamingRPC opens a new Yamux session.
This is from a merge conflict resolution that went the wrong direction.
I assumed the block had been added, but really it had been removed. Now,
it is removed once again.
Apply smaller suggestions like doc strings, variable names, etc.

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.
Enable any Server to lookup the unique ClusterID. If one has not been
generated, and this node is the leader, generate a UUID and attempt to
apply it through raft.
The value is not yet used anywhere in this changeset, but is a prerequisite
for gh-6701.
This change provides an initial pass at setting up the configuration necessary to
enable use of Connect with Consul ACLs. Operators will be able to pass in a Consul
Token through `-consul-token` or `$CONSUL_TOKEN` in the `job run` and `job revert`
commands (similar to Vault tokens).
These values are not actually used yet in this changeset.
Introduce limits to prevent unauthorized users from exhausting all
ephemeral ports on agents:
* `{https,rpc}_handshake_timeout`
* `{http,rpc}_max_conns_per_client`
The handshake timeout closes connections that have not completed the TLS
handshake by the deadline (5s by default). For RPC connections this
timeout also separately applies to first byte being read so RPC
connections with TLS enabled have `rpc_handshake_time * 2` as their
deadline.
The connection limit per client prevents a single remote TCP peer from
exhausting all ephemeral ports. The default is 100, but can be lowered
to a minimum of 26. Since streaming RPC connections create a new TCP
connection (until MultiplexV2 is used), 20 connections are reserved for
Raft and non-streaming RPCs to prevent connection exhaustion due to
streaming RPCs.
All limits are configurable and may be disabled by setting them to `0`.
This also includes a fix that closes connections that attempt to create
TLS RPC connections recursively. While only users with valid mTLS
certificates could perform such an operation, it was added as a
safeguard to prevent programming errors before they could cause resource
exhaustion.
Allows addressing servers with nomad monitor using the servers name or
ID.
Also unifies logic for addressing servers for client_agent_endpoint
commands and makes addressing logic region aware.
