This is the OSS portion of enterprise PR 2056. This commit provides server-local implementations of the proxycfg.ConfigEntry and proxycfg.ConfigEntryList interfaces, that source data from streaming events. It makes use of the LocalMaterializer type introduced for peering replication, adding the necessary support for authorization. It also adds support for "wildcard" subscriptions (within a topic) to the event publisher, as this is needed to fetch service-resolvers for all services when configuring mesh gateways. Currently, events will be emitted for just the ingress-gateway, service-resolver, and mesh config entry types, as these are the only entries required by proxycfg — the events will be emitted on topics named IngressGateway, ServiceResolver, and MeshConfig topics respectively. Though these events will only be consumed "locally" for now, they can also be consumed via the gRPC endpoint (confirmed using grpcurl) so using them from client agents should be a case of swapping the LocalMaterializer for an RPCMaterializer. |

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.
