Prior to #13244, connect proxies and gateways could only be configured by an
xDS session served by the local client agent.
In an upcoming release, it will be possible to deploy a Consul service mesh
without client agents. In this model, xDS sessions will be handled by the
servers themselves, which necessitates load-balancing to prevent a single
server from receiving a disproportionate amount of load and becoming
overwhelmed.
This introduces a simple form of load-balancing where Consul will attempt to
achieve an even spread of load (xDS sessions) between all healthy servers.
It does so by implementing a concurrent session limiter (limiter.SessionLimiter)
and adjusting the limit according to autopilot state and proxy service
registrations in the catalog.
If a server is already over capacity (i.e. the session limit is lowered),
Consul will begin draining sessions to rebalance the load. This will result
in the client receiving a `RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED` status code. It is the client's
responsibility to observe this response and reconnect to a different server.
Users of the gRPC client connection brokered by the
consul-server-connection-manager library will get this for free.
The rate at which Consul will drain sessions to rebalance load is scaled
dynamically based on the number of proxies in the catalog.
http.Transport keeps a pool of connections and should be reused when possible. We instantiate a new http.DefaultTransport for every metrics request, making large numbers of concurrent requests inefficiently spin up new connections instead of reusing open ones.

This PR introduces a server-local implementation of the
proxycfg.InternalServiceDump interface that sources data from a blocking query
against the server's state store.
For simplicity, it only implements the subset of the Internal.ServiceDump RPC
handler actually used by proxycfg - as such the result type has been changed
to IndexedCheckServiceNodes to avoid confusion.
This is the OSS portion of enterprise PR 2460.
Introduces a server-local implementation of the proxycfg.ResolvedServiceConfig
interface that sources data from a blocking query against the server's state
store.
It moves the service config resolution logic into the agent/configentry package
so that it can be used in both the RPC handler and data source.
I've also done a little re-arranging and adding comments to call out data
sources for which there is to be no server-local equivalent.
To ease the transition for users, the original gRPC
port can still operate in a deprecated mode as either
plain-text or TLS mode. This behavior should be removed
in a future release whenever we no longer support this.
The resulting behavior from this commit is:
`ports.grpc > 0 && ports.grpc_tls > 0` spawns both plain-text and tls ports.
`ports.grpc > 0 && grpc.tls == undefined` spawns a single plain-text port.
`ports.grpc > 0 && grpc.tls != undefined` spawns a single tls port (backwards compat mode).
If startListeners successfully created listeners for some of its input addresses but eventually failed, the function would return an error and existing listeners would not be cleaned up.

Adds a server-local implementation of the proxycfg.ExportedPeeredServices
interface that sources data from a blocking query against the server's
state store.
This is the OSS portion of enterprise PR 2352.
It adds a server-local implementation of the proxycfg.PeeredUpstreams interface
based on a blocking query against the server's state store.
It also fixes an omission in the Virtual IP freeing logic where we were never
updating the max index (and therefore blocking queries against
VirtualIPsForAllImportedServices would not return on service deletion).
Ensure that the peer stream replication rpc can successfully be used with TLS activated.
Also:
- If key material is configured for the gRPC port but HTTPS is not
enabled now TLS will still be activated for the gRPC port.
- peerstream replication stream opened by the establishing-side will now
ignore grpc.WithBlock so that TLS errors will bubble up instead of
being awkwardly delayed or suppressed

This PR introduces an implementation of the proxycfg.Health interface based on a

This PR introduces a server-local implementation of the proxycfg.ServiceList
interface, backed by streaming events and a local materializer.
Previously, public referred to gRPC services that are both exposed on
the dedicated gRPC port and have their definitions in the proto-public
directory (so were considered usable by 3rd parties). Whereas private
referred to services on the multiplexed server port that are only usable
by agents and other servers.
Now, we're splitting these definitions, such that external/internal
refers to the port and public/private refers to whether they can be used
by 3rd parties.
This is necessary because the peering replication API needs to be
exposed on the dedicated port, but is not (yet) suitable for use by 3rd
parties.
Currently servers exchange information about their WAN serf port
and RPC port with serf tags, so that they all learn of each other's
addressing information. We intend to make larger use of the new
public-facing gRPC port exposed on all of the servers, so this PR
addresses that by passing around the gRPC port via serf tags and
then ensuring the generated consul service in the catalog has
metadata about that new port as well for ease of non-serf-based lookup.
This is the OSS portion of enterprise PR 2157.
It builds on the local blocking query work in #13438 to implement the
proxycfg.IntentionUpstreams interface using server-local data.
Also moves the ACL filtering logic from agent/consul into the acl/filter
package so that it can be reused here.
This is the OSS portion of enterprise PR 2141.
This commit provides a server-local implementation of the `proxycfg.Intentions`
interface that sources data from streaming events.
It adds events for the `service-intentions` config entry type, and then consumes
event streams (via materialized views) for the service's explicit intentions and
any applicable wildcard intentions, merging them into a single list of intentions.
An alternative approach I considered was to consume _all_ intention events (via
`SubjectWildcard`) and filter out the irrelevant ones. This would admittedly
remove some complexity in the `agent/proxycfg-glue` package but at the expense
of considerable overhead from waking potentially many thousands of connect
proxies every time any intention is updated.
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.
For initial cluster peering TProxy support we consider all imported services of a partition to be potential upstreams.
We leverage the VirtualIP table because it stores plain service names (e.g. "api", not "api-sidecar-proxy").
Having this type live in the agent/consul package makes it difficult to
put anything that relies on token resolution (e.g. the new gRPC services)
in separate packages without introducing import cycles.
For example, if package foo imports agent/consul for the ACLResolveResult
type it means that agent/consul cannot import foo to register its service.
We've previously worked around this by wrapping the ACLResolver to
"downgrade" its return type to an acl.Authorizer - aside from the
added complexity, this also loses the resolved identity information.
In the future, we may want to move the whole ACLResolver into the
acl/resolver package. For now, putting the result type there at least,
fixes the immediate import cycle issues.
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.

Rather than directly interrogating the agent-local state for HTTP
checks using the `HTTPCheckFetcher` interface, we now rely on the
config snapshot containing the checks.
This reduces the number of changes required to support server xDS
sessions.
It's not clear why the fetching approach was introduced in
931d167ebb.
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.
There are a handful of changes in this commit:
* When querying trust bundles for a service we need to be able to
specify the namespace of the service.
* The endpoint needs to track the index because the cache watches use
it.
* Extracted bulk of the endpoint's logic to a state store function
so that index tracking could be tested more easily.
* Removed check for service existence, deferring that sort of work to ACL authz
* Added the cache type
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.

It replaces the proxycfg manager's direct dependency on the agent cache
with interfaces that will be implemented differently when serving xDS
sessions from a Consul server.
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).
OSS portion of enterprise PR 1857.
This removes (most) references to the `cache.UpdateEvent` type in the
`proxycfg` package.
As we're going to be direct usage of the agent cache with interfaces that
can be satisfied by alternative server-local datasources, it doesn't make
sense to depend on this type everywhere anymore (particularly on the
`state.ch` channel).
We also plan to extract `proxycfg` out of Consul into a shared library in
the future, which would require removing this dependency.
Aside from a fairly rote find-and-replace, the main change is that the
`cache.Cache` and `health.Client` types now accept a callback function
parameter, rather than a `chan<- cache.UpdateEvents`. This allows us to
do the type conversion without running another goroutine.
- Introduce a new telemetry configurable parameter retry_failed_connection. User can set the value to true to let consul agent continue its start process on failed connection to datadog server. When set to false, agent will stop on failed start. The default behavior is true.

Changes to how the version string was handled created small regression with the release of consul 1.12.0 enterprise.
Many tools use the Config:Version field reported by the agent/self resource to determine whether Consul is an enterprise or OSS instance, expect something like 1.12.0+ent for enterprise and simply 1.12.0 for OSS. This was accidentally broken during the runup to 1.12.x
This work fixes the value returned by both the self endpoint in ["Config"]["Version"] and the metrics consul.version field.
