Replaces the reflection-based implementation of proxycfg's
ConfigSnapshot.Clone with code generated by deep-copy.
While load testing server-based xDS (for consul-dataplane) we discovered
this method is extremely expensive. The ConfigSnapshot struct, directly
or indirectly, contains a copy of many of the structs in the agent/structs
package, which creates a large graph for copystructure.Copy to traverse
at runtime, on every proxy reconfiguration.
This commit adds the xDS resources needed for INBOUND traffic from peer
clusters:
- 1 filter chain for all inbound peering requests.
- 1 cluster for all inbound peering requests.
- 1 endpoint per voting server with the gRPC TLS port configured.
There is one filter chain and cluster because unlike with WAN
federation, peer clusters will not attempt to dial individual servers.
Peer clusters will only dial the local mesh gateway addresses.
* feat(ingress gateway: support configuring limits in ingress-gateway config entry
- a new Defaults field with max_connections, max_pending_connections, max_requests
is added to ingress gateway config entry
- new field max_connections, max_pending_connections, max_requests in

Routing peering control plane traffic through mesh gateways can be
enabled or disabled at runtime with the mesh config entry.
This commit updates proxycfg to add or cancel watches for local servers
depending on this central config.
Note that WAN federation over mesh gateways is determined by a service
metadata flag, and any updates to the gateway service registration will
force the creation of a new snapshot. If enabled, WAN-fed over mesh
gateways will trigger a local server watch on initialize().
Because of this we will only add/remove server watches if WAN federation
over mesh gateways is disabled.
Peered upstreams has a separate loop in xds from discovery chain upstreams. This PR adds similar but slightly modified code to add filters for peered upstream listeners, clusters, and endpoints in the case of transparent proxy.
When the protocol is http-like, and an intention has a peered source
then the normal RBAC mTLS SAN field check is replaces with a joint combo
of:
mTLS SAN field must be the service's local mesh gateway leaf cert
AND
the first XFCC header (from the MGW) must have a URI field that matches the original intention source
Also:
- Update the regex program limit to be much higher than the teeny
defaults, since the RBAC regex constructions are more complicated now.
- Fix a few stray panics in xds generation.
This is only configured in xDS when a service with an L7 protocol is
exported.
They also load any relevant trust bundles for the peered services to
eventually use for L7 SPIFFE validation during mTLS termination.
Mesh gateways can use hostnames in their tagged addresses (#7999). This is useful
if you were to expose a mesh gateway using a cloud networking load balancer appliance
that gives you a DNS name but no reliable static IPs.
Envoy cannot accept hostnames via EDS and those must be configured using CDS.
There was already logic when configuring gateways in other locations in the code, but
given the illusions in play for peering the downstream of a peered service wasn't aware
that it should be doing that.
Also:
- ensuring that we always try to use wan-like addresses to cross peer boundaries.
Mesh gateways will now enable tcp connections with SNI names including peering information so that those connections may be proxied.
Note: this does not change the callers to use these mesh gateways.
Envoy's SPIFFE certificate validation extension allows for us to
validate against different root certificates depending on the trust
domain of the dialing proxy.
If there are any trust bundles from peers in the config snapshot then we
use the SPIFFE validator as the validation context, rather than the
usual TrustedCA.
The injected validation config includes the local root certificates as
well.
For mTLS to work between two proxies in peered clusters with different root CAs,
proxies need to configure their outbound listener to use different root certificates
for validation.
Up until peering was introduced proxies would only ever use one set of root certificates
to validate all mesh traffic, both inbound and outbound. Now an upstream proxy
may have a leaf certificate signed by a CA that's different from the dialing proxy's.
This PR makes changes to proxycfg and xds so that the upstream TLS validation
uses different root certificates depending on which cluster is being dialed.
OSS port of enterprise PR 1822
Includes the necessary changes to the `proxycfg` and `xds` packages to enable
Consul servers to configure arbitrary proxies using catalog data.
Broadly, `proxycfg.Manager` now has public methods for registering,
deregistering, and listing registered proxies — the existing local agent
state-sync behavior has been moved into a separate component that makes use of
these methods.
When an xDS session is started for a proxy service in the catalog, a goroutine
will be spawned to watch the service in the server's state store and
re-register it with the `proxycfg.Manager` whenever it is updated (and clean
it up when the client goes away).
- `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
Due to timing, a transparent proxy could have two upstreams to dial
directly with the same address.
For example:
- The orders service can dial upstreams shipping and payment directly.
- An instance of shipping at address 10.0.0.1 is deregistered.
- Payments is scaled up and scheduled to have address 10.0.0.1.
- The orders service receives the event for the new payments instance
before seeing the deregistration for the shipping instance. At this
point two upstreams have the same passthrough address and Envoy will
reject the listener configuration.
To disambiguate this commit considers the Raft index when storing
passthrough addresses. In the example above, 10.0.0.1 would only be
associated with the newer payments service instance.
Transparent proxies can set up filter chains that allow direct
connections to upstream service instances. Services that can be dialed
directly are stored in the PassthroughUpstreams map of the proxycfg
snapshot.
Previously these addresses were not being cleaned up based on new
service health data. The list of addresses associated with an upstream
service would only ever grow.
As services scale up and down, eventually they will have instances
assigned to an IP that was previously assigned to a different service.
When IP addresses are duplicated across filter chain match rules the
listener config will be rejected by Envoy.
This commit updates the proxycfg snapshot management so that passthrough
addresses can get cleaned up when no longer associated with a given
upstream.
There is still the possibility of a race condition here where due to
timing an address is shared between multiple passthrough upstreams.
That concern is mitigated by #12195, but will be further addressed
in a follow-up.
The gist here is that now we use a value-type struct proxycfg.UpstreamID
as the map key in ConfigSnapshot maps where we used to use "upstream
id-ish" strings. These are internal only and used just for bidirectional
trips through the agent cache keyspace (like the discovery chain target
struct).
For the few places where the upstream id needs to be projected into xDS,
that's what (proxycfg.UpstreamID).EnvoyID() is for. This lets us ALWAYS
inject the partition and namespace into these things without making
stuff like the golden testdata diverge.
This will behave the way we handle SNI and SPIFFE IDs, where the default
partition is excluded.
Excluding the default ensures that don't attempt to compare default.dc2
to dc2 in OSS.
This commit updates mesh gateway watches for cross-partitions
communication.
* Mesh gateways are keyed by partition and datacenter.
* Mesh gateways will now watch gateways in partitions that export
services to their partition.
* Mesh gateways in non-default partitions will not have cross-datacenter
watches. They are not involved in traditional WAN federation.
Previously the datacenter of the gateway was the key identifier, now it
is the datacenter and partition.
When dialing services in other partitions or datacenters we now watch
the appropriate partition.
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.
This PR replaces the original boolean used to configure transparent
proxy mode. It was replaced with a string mode that can be set to:
- "": Empty string is the default for when the setting should be
defaulted from other configuration like config entries.
- "direct": Direct mode is how applications originally opted into the
mesh. Proxy listeners need to be dialed directly.
- "transparent": Transparent mode enables configuring Envoy as a
transparent proxy. Traffic must be captured and redirected to the
inbound and outbound listeners.
This PR also adds a struct for transparent proxy specific configuration.
Initially this is not stored as a pointer. Will revisit that decision
before GA.
