This PR covers two sets of changes:
- Documenting the new `destination_peer` for proxy upstream definitions.
- Updating the exported-services config entry documentation.
Updates to the `exported-services` config entry include:
- As of 1.13.0 it is no longer only for Consul Enterprise
- A `PeerName` is now a possible consumer for an exported service.
- Added examples for OSS and Enterprise
- Linked to peering docs
Port some changes that were made to the backport branch but not in the original PR.

* Support vault namespaces in connect CA
Follow on to some missed items from #12655
From an internal ticket "Support standard "Vault namespace in the
path" semantics for Connect Vault CA Provider"
Vault allows the namespace to be specified as a prefix in the path of
a PKI definition, but our usage of the Vault API includes calls that
don't support a namespaced key. In particular the sys.* family of
calls simply appends the key, instead of prefixing the namespace in
front of the path.
Unfortunately it is difficult to reliably parse a path with a
namespace; only vault knows what namespaces are present, and the '/'
separator can be inside a key name, as well as separating path
elements. This is in use in the wild; for example
'dc1/intermediate-key' is a relatively common naming schema.
Instead we add two new fields: RootPKINamespace and
IntermediatePKINamespace, which are the absolute namespace paths
'prefixed' in front of the respective PKI Paths.

Just like standard upstreams the order of applicability in descending precedence:
1. caller's `service-defaults` upstream override for destination
2. caller's `service-defaults` upstream defaults
3. destination's `service-resolver` ConnectTimeout
4. system default of 5s

The list of supported annotations for Consul service mesh were moved
from /docs/k8s/connect to /docs/k8s/annotations-and-labels in PR
#12323.
This commit updates various across the site to point to the new
URL for these annotations.
- `tls.incoming`: applies to the inbound mTLS targeting the public
listener on `connect-proxy` and `terminating-gateway` envoy instances
- `tls.outgoing`: applies to the outbound mTLS dialing upstreams from
`connect-proxy` and `ingress-gateway` envoy instances
Fixes#11966
Introduces the capability to configure TLS differently for Consul's
listeners/ports (i.e. HTTPS, gRPC, and the internal multiplexed RPC
port) which is useful in scenarios where you may want the HTTPS or
gRPC interfaces to present a certificate signed by a well-known/public
CA, rather than the certificate used for internal communication which
must have a SAN in the form `server.<dc>.consul`.
* Update Kubernetes related YAML config examples to document supported
syntax in the latest version of the Helm chart.
* Fix syntax in JSON example configs.

* Support vault auth methods for the Vault connect CA provider
* Rotate the token (re-authenticate to vault using auth method) when the token can no longer be renewed
* Support Vault Namespaces explicitly in CA config
If there is a Namespace entry included in the Vault CA configuration,
set it as the Vault Namespace on the Vault client
Currently the only way to support Vault namespaces in the Consul CA
config is by doing one of the following:
1) Set the VAULT_NAMESPACE environment variable which will be picked up
by the Vault API client
2) Prefix all Vault paths with the namespace
Neither of these are super pleasant. The first requires direct access
and modification to the Consul runtime environment. It's possible and
expected, not super pleasant.
The second requires more indepth knowledge of Vault and how it uses
Namespaces and could be confusing for anyone without that context. It
also infers that it is not supported
* Add changelog
* Remove fmt.Fprint calls
* Make comment clearer
* Add next consul version to website docs
* Add new test for default configuration
* go mod tidy
* Add skip if vault not present
* Tweak changelog text
The Consul UI topology view has an icon with the text
"Configure metrics dashboard" that links to this page. Add a notice at
the top of the page that links them directly to the relevant section.
The UpstreamConfig.Defaults field does not support setting Name or
Namespace because the purpose is to apply defaults to all upstreams.
I think this was just missed in the docs since those fields would
error if set under Defaults.
i.e. this is not supported:
```
UpstreamConfig {
Defaults {
Name = "foo"
Namespace = "bar"
# Defaults config here
}
}
```
It can only work if there is a running service instance in the local DC,
so this is a bit misleading, since failover and redirects are typically
used when there is not an instance in the local DC.
Add the list of common Connect CA configuration options to the
provider-specific CA docs.
Previously these options were only documented under the agent
configuration options. This change makes it so that all supported CA
provider configuration options are available from a single location.

CatalogDestinationsOnly is a passthrough that would enable dialing
addresses outside of Consul's catalog. However, when this flag is set to
true only _connect_ endpoints for services can be dialed.
This flag is being renamed to signal that non-Connect endpoints can't be
dialed by transparent proxies when the value is set to true.
* Docs for Unix Domain Sockets
There are a number of cases where a user might wish to either 1)
expose a service through a Unix Domain Socket in the filesystem
('downstream') or 2) connect to an upstream service by a local unix
domain socket (upstream).
As of Consul (1.10-beta2) we've added new syntax and support to configure
the Envoy proxy to support this
To connect to a service via local Unix Domain Socket instead of a
port, add local_bind_socket_path and optionally local_bind_socket_mode
to the upstream config for a service:
upstreams = [
{
destination_name = "service-1"
local_bind_socket_path = "/tmp/socket_service_1"
local_bind_socket_mode = "0700"
...
}
...
]
This will cause Envoy to create a socket with the path and mode
provided, and connect that to service-1
The mode field is optional, and if omitted will use the default mode
for Envoy. This is not applicable for abstract sockets. See
https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/api-v3/config/core/v3/address.proto#envoy-v3-api-msg-config-core-v3-pipe
for details
NOTE: These options conflict the local_bind_socket_port and
local_bind_socket_address options. We can bind to an port or we can
bind to a socket, but not both.
To expose a service listening on a Unix Domain socket to the service
mesh use either the 'socket_path' field in the service definition or the
'local_service_socket_path' field in the proxy definition. These
fields are analogous to the 'port' and 'service_port' fields in their
respective locations.
services {
name = "service-2"
socket_path = "/tmp/socket_service_2"
...
}
OR
proxy {
local_service_socket_path = "/tmp/socket_service_2"
...
}
There is no mode field since the service is expected to create the
socket it is listening on, not the Envoy proxy.
Again, the socket_path and local_service_socket_path fields conflict
with address/port and local_service_address/local_service_port
configuration entries.
Set up a simple service mesh with dummy services:
socat -d UNIX-LISTEN:/tmp/downstream.sock,fork UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/upstream.sock
socat -v tcp-l:4444,fork exec:/bin/cat
services {
name = "sock_forwarder"
id = "sock_forwarder.1"
socket_path = "/tmp/downstream.sock"
connect {
sidecar_service {
proxy {
upstreams = [
{
destination_name = "echo-service"
local_bind_socket_path = "/tmp/upstream.sock"
config {
passive_health_check {
interval = "10s"
max_failures = 42
}
}
}
]
}
}
}
}
services {
name = "echo-service"
port = 4444
connect = { sidecar_service {} }
Kind = "ingress-gateway"
Name = "ingress-service"
Listeners = [
{
Port = 8080
Protocol = "tcp"
Services = [
{
Name = "sock_forwarder"
}
]
}
]
consul agent -dev -enable-script-checks -config-dir=./consul.d

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.
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 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.
* website: migrate to new nav-data format
* website: clean up unused intro content
* website: remove deprecated sidebar_title from frontmatter
* website: add react-content to fix global style import issue
Note that this does NOT upgrade to xDS v3. That will come in a future PR.
Additionally:
- Ignored staticcheck warnings about how github.com/golang/protobuf is deprecated.
- Shuffled some agent/xds imports in advance of a later xDS v3 upgrade.
- Remove support for envoy 1.13.x but don't add in 1.17.x yet. We have to wait until the xDS v3 support is added in a follow-up PR.
