freddygv	d6c26ea598	Bump retry time for cross-DC RPC ... The secondary DC now takes longer to populate the MGW snapshot because it needs to wait for the secondary CA to be initialized before it can receive roots and generate xDS config. Previously MGWs could receive empty roots before the CA was initialized. This wasn't necessarily a problem since the cluster ID in the trust domain isn't verified.	3 years ago
R.B. Boyer	71d45a3460	Support Incremental xDS mode (#9855) ... This adds support for the Incremental xDS protocol when using xDS v3. This is best reviewed commit-by-commit and will not be squashed when merged. Union of all commit messages follows to give an overarching summary: xds: exclusively support incremental xDS when using xDS v3 Attempts to use SoTW via v3 will fail, much like attempts to use incremental via v2 will fail. Work around a strange older envoy behavior involving empty CDS responses over incremental xDS. xds: various cleanups and refactors that don't strictly concern the addition of incremental xDS support Dissolve the connectionInfo struct in favor of per-connection ResourceGenerators instead. Do a better job of ensuring the xds code uses a well configured logger that accurately describes the connected client. xds: pull out checkStreamACLs method in advance of a later commit xds: rewrite SoTW xDS protocol tests to use protobufs rather than hand-rolled json strings In the test we very lightly reuse some of the more boring protobuf construction helper code that is also technically under test. The important thing of the protocol tests is testing the protocol. The actual inputs and outputs are largely already handled by the xds golden output tests now so these protocol tests don't have to do double-duty. This also updates the SoTW protocol test to exclusively use xDS v2 which is the only variant of SoTW that will be supported in Consul 1.10. xds: default xds.Server.AuthCheckFrequency at use-time instead of construction-time	4 years ago
R.B. Boyer	5afd04897c	test: use direct service registration in envoy integration tests (#9138) ... This has the biggest impact on enterprise test cases that use namespaced registrations, which prior to this change sometimes failed the initial registration because the namespace was not yet created.	4 years ago
R.B. Boyer	6adad71125	wan federation via mesh gateways (#6884) ... 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.	5 years ago
