Initially we were loading every potential upstream address into Envoy
and then routing traffic to the logical upstream service. The downside
of this behavior is that traffic meant to go to a specific instance
would be load balanced across ALL instances.
Traffic to specific instance IPs should be forwarded to the original
destination and if it's a destination in the mesh then we should ensure
the appropriate certificates are used.
This PR makes transparent proxying a Kubernetes-only feature for now
since support for other environments requires generating virtual IPs,
and Consul does not do that at the moment.
* Give descriptive error if auth method not found
Previously during a `consul login -method=blah`, if the auth method was not found, the
error returned would be "ACL not found". This is potentially confusing
because there may be many different ACLs involved in a login: the ACL of
the Consul client, perhaps the binding rule or the auth method.
Now the error will be "auth method blah not found", which is much easier
to debug.
The only thing that needed fixing up pertained to this section of the 1.18.x release notes:
> grpc_stats: the default value for stats_for_all_methods is switched from true to false, in order to avoid possible memory exhaustion due to an untrusted downstream sending a large number of unique method names. The previous default value was deprecated in version 1.14.0. This only changes the behavior when the value is not set. The previous behavior can be used by setting the value to true. This behavior change by be overridden by setting runtime feature envoy.deprecated_features.grpc_stats_filter_enable_stats_for_all_methods_by_default.
For now to maintain status-quo I'm explicitly setting `stats_for_all_methods=true` in all versions to avoid relying upon the default.
Additionally the naming of the emitted metrics for these gRPC requests changed slightly so the integration test assertions for `case-grpc` needed adjusting.
This ensures that if someone does include some extension Consul does not currently make use of, that extension is actually usable. Without linking these envoy protobufs into the main binary it can't round trip the escape hatches to send them down to envoy.
Whenenver the go-control-plane library is upgraded next we just have to re-run 'make envoy-library'.
This adds support for the Incremental xDS protocol when using xDS v3. This is best reviewed commit-by-commit and will not be squashed when merged.
Union of all commit messages follows to give an overarching summary:
xds: exclusively support incremental xDS when using xDS v3
Attempts to use SoTW via v3 will fail, much like attempts to use incremental via v2 will fail.
Work around a strange older envoy behavior involving empty CDS responses over incremental xDS.
xds: various cleanups and refactors that don't strictly concern the addition of incremental xDS support
Dissolve the connectionInfo struct in favor of per-connection ResourceGenerators instead.
Do a better job of ensuring the xds code uses a well configured logger that accurately describes the connected client.
xds: pull out checkStreamACLs method in advance of a later commit
xds: rewrite SoTW xDS protocol tests to use protobufs rather than hand-rolled json strings
In the test we very lightly reuse some of the more boring protobuf construction helper code that is also technically under test. The important thing of the protocol tests is testing the protocol. The actual inputs and outputs are largely already handled by the xds golden output tests now so these protocol tests don't have to do double-duty.
This also updates the SoTW protocol test to exclusively use xDS v2 which is the only variant of SoTW that will be supported in Consul 1.10.
xds: default xds.Server.AuthCheckFrequency at use-time instead of construction-time
This config entry is being renamed primarily because in k8s the name
cluster could be confusing given that the config entry applies across
federated datacenters.
Additionally, this config entry will only apply to Consul as a service
mesh, so the more generic "cluster" name is not needed.
Previously only a single auth method would be saved to the snapshot. This commit fixes the typo
and adds to the test, to show that all auth methods are now saved.
This way we avoid serializing these when empty. Otherwise users of the
latest version of the api submodule cannot interact with older versions
of Consul, because a new api client would send keys that the older Consul
doesn't recognize yet.
The zero value of these flags was already being excluded in the xDS
generation of circuit breaker/outlier detection config.
See: makeThresholdsIfNeeded and ToOutlierDetection.
This PR replaces the original boolean used to configure transparent
proxy mode. It was replaced with a string mode that can be set to:
- "": Empty string is the default for when the setting should be
defaulted from other configuration like config entries.
- "direct": Direct mode is how applications originally opted into the
mesh. Proxy listeners need to be dialed directly.
- "transparent": Transparent mode enables configuring Envoy as a
transparent proxy. Traffic must be captured and redirected to the
inbound and outbound listeners.
This PR also adds a struct for transparent proxy specific configuration.
Initially this is not stored as a pointer. Will revisit that decision
before GA.

This mostly affects streaming since streaming will immediately return from Fetch calls when the state is Closed on eviction which causes the race condition every time.
However this also affects all other cache types if the fetch call happens to return between the eviction and then next time around the Get loop by any client.
There is a separate bug that allows cache items to be evicted even when there are active clients which is the trigger here.
* Add changelog entry
* Update .changelog/9978.txt
Synthetic upstreams from service-defaults config are stored locally in
the Upstreams list. Since these come from service-defaults they should
be cleaned up locally when no longer present in the service config
response.
This is needed in case the client proxy is in TransparentProxy mode.
Typically they won't have explicit configuration for every upstream, so
this ensures the settings can be applied to all of them when generating
xDS config.
New clients in transparent proxy mode can send requests for service
config resolution without any upstream args because they do not have
explicitly defined upstreams.
Old clients on the other hand will never send requests without the
Upstreams args unless they don't have upstreams, in which case we do not
send back upstream config.
The streaming cache type for service health has no way to handle v1/health/ingress/:service queries as there is no equivalent topic that would return the appropriate data.
Ensure that attempts to use this endpoint will use the old cache-type for now so that they return appropriate data when streaming is enabled.
As part of this change the indexer will now be case insensitive by using
the lower case value. This should be safe because previously we always
had lower case strings.
This change was made out of convenience. All the other indexers use
lowercase, so we can re-use the indexFromQuery function by using
lowercase here as well.
