This allows for client agent to be run in a more stateless manner where they may be abruptly terminated and not expected to come back. If advertising a per-agent reconnect timeout using the advertise_reconnect_timeout configuration when that agent leaves, other agents will wait only that amount of time for the agent to come back before reaping it.
This has the advantageous side effect of causing servers to deregister the node/services/checks for that agent sooner than if the global reconnect_timeout was used.
During gossip encryption key rotation it would be nice to be able to see if all nodes are using the same key. This PR adds another field to the json response from `GET v1/operator/keyring` which lists the primary keys in use per dc. That way an operator can tell when a key was successfully setup as primary key.
Based on https://github.com/hashicorp/serf/pull/611 to add primary key to list keyring output:
```json

I intentionally did not change the CLI output because I didn't find a good way of displaying this information. There are a couple of options that we could implement later:
* add a flag to show the primary keys
* add a flag to show json output
Fixes#3393.
Fixes#7527
I want to highlight this and explain what I think the implications are and make sure we are aware:
* `HTTPConnStateFunc` closes the connection when it is beyond the limit. `Close` does not block.
* `HTTPConnStateFuncWithDefault429Handler(10 * time.Millisecond)` blocks until the following is done (worst case):
1) `conn.SetDeadline(10*time.Millisecond)` so that
2) `conn.Write(429error)` is guaranteed to timeout after 10ms, so that the http 429 can be written and
3) `conn.Close` can happen
The implication of this change is that accepting any new connection is worst case delayed by 10ms. But only after a client reached the limit already.
There was an RSA private key used for testing included in the old
version. This commit updates it to a version that does not include the
key so that the key is not detected by tools which scan the Consul
binary for private keys.

make update-vendor
This is like a Möbius strip of code due to the fact that low-level components (serf/memberlist) are connected to high-level components (the catalog and mesh-gateways) in a twisty maze of references which make it hard to dive into. With that in mind here's a high level summary of what you'll find in the patch:
There are several distinct chunks of code that are affected:
* new flags and config options for the server
* retry join WAN is slightly different
* retry join code is shared to discover primary mesh gateways from secondary datacenters
* because retry join logic runs in the *agent* and the results of that
operation for primary mesh gateways are needed in the *server* there are
some methods like `RefreshPrimaryGatewayFallbackAddresses` that must occur
at multiple layers of abstraction just to pass the data down to the right
layer.
* new cache type `FederationStateListMeshGatewaysName` for use in `proxycfg/xds` layers
* the function signature for RPC dialing picked up a new required field (the
node name of the destination)
* several new RPCs for manipulating a FederationState object:
`FederationState:{Apply,Get,List,ListMeshGateways}`
* 3 read-only internal APIs for debugging use to invoke those RPCs from curl
* raft and fsm changes to persist these FederationStates
* replication for FederationStates as they are canonically stored in the
Primary and replicated to the Secondaries.
* a special derivative of anti-entropy that runs in secondaries to snapshot
their local mesh gateway `CheckServiceNodes` and sync them into their upstream
FederationState in the primary (this works in conjunction with the
replication to distribute addresses for all mesh gateways in all DCs to all
other DCs)
* a "gateway locator" convenience object to make use of this data to choose
the addresses of gateways to use for any given RPC or gossip operation to a
remote DC. This gets data from the "retry join" logic in the agent and also
directly calls into the FSM.
* RPC (`:8300`) on the server sniffs the first byte of a new connection to
determine if it's actually doing native TLS. If so it checks the ALPN header
for protocol determination (just like how the existing system uses the
type-byte marker).
* 2 new kinds of protocols are exclusively decoded via this native TLS
mechanism: one for ferrying "packet" operations (udp-like) from the gossip
layer and one for "stream" operations (tcp-like). The packet operations
re-use sockets (using length-prefixing) to cut down on TLS re-negotiation
overhead.
* the server instances specially wrap the `memberlist.NetTransport` when running
with gateway federation enabled (in a `wanfed.Transport`). The general gist is
that if it tries to dial a node in the SAME datacenter (deduced by looking
at the suffix of the node name) there is no change. If dialing a DIFFERENT
datacenter it is wrapped up in a TLS+ALPN blob and sent through some mesh
gateways to eventually end up in a server's :8300 port.
* a new flag when launching a mesh gateway via `consul connect envoy` to
indicate that the servers are to be exposed. This sets a special service
meta when registering the gateway into the catalog.
* `proxycfg/xds` notice this metadata blob to activate additional watches for
the FederationState objects as well as the location of all of the consul
servers in that datacenter.
* `xds:` if the extra metadata is in place additional clusters are defined in a
DC to bulk sink all traffic to another DC's gateways. For the current
datacenter we listen on a wildcard name (`server.<dc>.consul`) that load
balances all servers as well as one mini-cluster per node
(`<node>.server.<dc>.consul`)
* the `consul tls cert create` command got a new flag (`-node`) to help create
an additional SAN in certs that can be used with this flavor of federation.
This PR adds the option to set in-memory certificates to the API client instead of requiring the certificate to be stored on disk in a file.
This allows us to define API client TLS options per Consul secret backend in Vault.
Related issue hashicorp/vault#4800
* Change CA Configure struct to pass Datacenter through
* Remove connect/ca/plugin as we don't have immediate plans to use it.
We still intend to one day but there are likely to be several changes to the CA provider interface before we do so it's better to rebuild from history when we do that work properly.
* Rename PrimaryDC; fix endpoint in secondary DCs
This only affects vault versions >=1.1.1 because the prior code
accidentally relied upon a bug that was fixed in
https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/6505
The existing tests should have caught this, but they were using a
vendored copy of vault version 0.10.3. This fixes the tests by running
an actual copy of vault instead of an in-process copy. This has the
added benefit of changing the dependency on vault to just vault/api.
Also update VaultProvider to use similar SetIntermediate validation code
as the ConsulProvider implementation.
* Update go-bexpr to v0.1.1
This brings in:
• `in`/`not in` operators to do substring matching
• `matches` / `not matches` operators to perform regex string matching.
* Add the capability to auto-generate the filtering selector ops tables for our docs
* Upgrade xDS (go-control-plane) API to support Envoy 1.10.
This includes backwards compatibility shim to work around the ext_authz package rename in 1.10.
It also adds integration test support in CI for 1.10.0.
* Fix go vet complaints
* go mod vendor
* Update Envoy version info in docs
* Update website/source/docs/connect/proxies/envoy.md
* Move the watch package into the api module
It was already just a thin wrapper around the API anyways. The biggest change was to the testing. Instead of using a test agent directly from the agent package it now uses the binary on the PATH just like the other API tests.
The other big changes were to fix up the connect based watch tests so that we didn’t need to pull in the connect package (and therefore all of Consul)
