R.B. Boyer b527e77850 agent: handle re-bootstrapping in a secondary datacenter when WAN federation via mesh gateways is configured (#7931)
The main fix here is to always union the `primary-gateways` list with
the list of mesh gateways in the primary returned from the replicated
federation states list. This will allow any replicated (incorrect) state
to be supplemented with user-configured (correct) state in the config
file. Eventually the game of random selection whack-a-mole will pick a
winning entry and re-replicate the latest federation states from the
primary. If the user-configured state is actually the incorrect one,
then the same eventual correct selection process will work in that case,
too.

The secondary fix is actually to finish making wanfed-via-mgws actually
work as originally designed. Once a secondary datacenter has replicated
federation states for the primary AND managed to stand up its own local
mesh gateways then all of the RPCs from a secondary to the primary
SHOULD go through two sets of mesh gateways to arrive in the consul
servers in the primary (one hop for the secondary datacenter's mesh
gateway, and one hop through the primary datacenter's mesh gateway).
This was neglected in the initial implementation. While everything
works, ideally we should treat communications that go around the mesh
gateways as just provided for bootstrapping purposes.

Now we heuristically use the success/failure history of the federation
state replicator goroutine loop to determine if our current mesh gateway
route is working as intended. If it is, we try using the local gateways,
and if those don't work we fall back on trying the primary via the union
of the replicated state and the go-discover configuration flags.

This can be improved slightly in the future by possibly initializing the
gateway choice to local on startup if we already have replicated state.
This PR does not address that improvement.

Consul CircleCI Discuss

Consul is a tool for service discovery and configuration. Consul is distributed, highly available, and extremely scalable.

Consul provides several key features:

  • 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.

  • Service Segmentation/Service Mesh - 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.

  • 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.

  • Multi-Datacenter - Consul is built to be datacenter aware, and can support any number of regions without complex configuration.

Consul runs on Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Windows. 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.
