Prior to this PR for the envoy xDS golden tests in the agent/xds package we were hand-creating a proxycfg.ConfigSnapshot structure in the proper format for input to the xDS generator. Over time this intermediate structure has gotten trickier to build correctly for the various tests. This PR proposes to switch to using the existing mechanism for turning a structs.NodeService and a sequence of cache.UpdateEvent copies into a proxycfg.ConfigSnapshot, as that is less error prone to construct and aligns more with how the data arrives. NOTE: almost all of this is in test-related code. I tried super hard to craft correct event inputs to get the golden files to be the same, or similar enough after construction to feel ok that i recreated the spirit of the original test cases.
Consul
Consul is a distributed, highly available, and data center aware solution to connect and configure applications across dynamic, distributed infrastructure.
- Website: https://www.consul.io
- Tutorials: HashiCorp Learn
- Forum: Discuss
Consul provides several key features:
-
Multi-Datacenter - Consul is built to be datacenter aware, and can support any number of regions without complex configuration.
-
Service Mesh/Service Segmentation - Consul Connect enables secure service-to-service communication with automatic TLS encryption and identity-based authorization. Applications can use sidecar proxies in a service mesh configuration to establish TLS connections for inbound and outbound connections without being aware of Connect at all.
-
Service Discovery - Consul makes it simple for services to register themselves and to discover other services via a DNS or HTTP interface. External services such as SaaS providers can be registered as well.
-
Health Checking - Health Checking enables Consul to quickly alert operators about any issues in a cluster. The integration with service discovery prevents routing traffic to unhealthy hosts and enables service level circuit breakers.
-
Key/Value Storage - A flexible key/value store enables storing dynamic configuration, feature flagging, coordination, leader election and more. The simple HTTP API makes it easy to use anywhere.
Consul runs on Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Windows and includes an optional browser based UI. A commercial version called Consul Enterprise is also available.
Please note: We take Consul's security and our users' trust very seriously. If you believe you have found a security issue in Consul, please responsibly disclose by contacting us at security@hashicorp.com.
