This updates the testing/deployer (aka "topology test") framework to allow for a v2-oriented topology to opt services into enabling TransparentProxy. The restrictions are similar to that of #19046 The multiport Ports map that was added in #19046 was changed to allow for the protocol to be specified at this time, but for now the only supported protocol is TCP as only L4 functions currently on main. As part of making transparent proxy work, the DNS server needed a new zonefile for responding to virtual.consul requests, since there is no Kubernetes DNS and the Consul DNS work for v2 has not happened yet. Once Consul DNS supports v2 we should switch over. For now the format of queries is: <service>--<namespace>--<partition>.virtual.consul Additionally: - All transparent proxy enabled services are assigned a virtual ip in the 10.244.0/24 range. This is something Consul will do in v2 at a later date, likely during 1.18. - All services with exposed ports (non-mesh) are assigned a virtual port number for use with tproxy - The consul-dataplane image has been made un-distroless, and gotten the necessary tools to execute consul connect redirect-traffic before running dataplane, thus simulating a kubernetes init container in plain docker. |

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 - Consul Service Mesh 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 with Transparent Proxy.
-
API Gateway - Consul API Gateway manages access to services within Consul Service Mesh, allow users to define traffic and authorization policies to services deployed within the mesh.
-
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.
-
Dynamic App Configuration - An HTTP API that allows users to store indexed objects within Consul, for storing configuration parameters and application metadata.
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.
