It can only work if there is a running service instance in the local DC,
so this is a bit misleading, since failover and redirects are typically
used when there is not an instance in the local DC.
Add the list of common Connect CA configuration options to the
provider-specific CA docs.
Previously these options were only documented under the agent
configuration options. This change makes it so that all supported CA
provider configuration options are available from a single location.

The current suggests the option expects a string of either "enabled" or "disabled" but this results in an error `'acl.enable_key_list_policy' expected type 'bool', got unconvertible type 'string', value: 'enabled'`. Setting to a boolean value resolves this, also had a quick look at the code (d2b58cd0d6/agent/config/runtime.go (L109)) and it suggests this too

This was necessary in older versions of Consul, but was obsoleted by
making Consul add the port number itself when constructing the Envoy
configuration.
* Use CodeTabs for examples in multiple formats.
* Ensure correct language on code fences.
* Use CodeBlockConfig for examples with filenames, or which need

This commit adds example JSON configs for several config entry
resources were missing examples in this language.
The examples have been updated to use the new CodeTabs resource
instead of the Tab component.
Add a note to the docs for the service defaults config entry which
informs users that the service protocol can be configured for all
services using the proxy defaults config entry.

The base64 CLI utility has two different short flag arguments for decode
depending on the platform: -D and -d.
Previously, the docs used the -D flag exclusively with the base64 utility.
Luckily, the long form of the flag is the same across platforms: --decode.
All uses of the base64 -D flag have been replaced with --decode.
This change adds a new `dns_config.recursor_strategy` option which
controls how Consul queries DNS resolvers listed in the `recursors`
config option. The supported options are `sequential` (default), and
`random`.

CatalogDestinationsOnly is a passthrough that would enable dialing
addresses outside of Consul's catalog. However, when this flag is set to
true only _connect_ endpoints for services can be dialed.
This flag is being renamed to signal that non-Connect endpoints can't be
dialed by transparent proxies when the value is set to true.
Previously if you were to follow these docs and register two external
services, you would set the Address field on the node. The second
registered service would change the address of the node for the first
service.
Now the docs explain the address key and how to register more than one
external service.
* Docs for Unix Domain Sockets
There are a number of cases where a user might wish to either 1)
expose a service through a Unix Domain Socket in the filesystem
('downstream') or 2) connect to an upstream service by a local unix
domain socket (upstream).
As of Consul (1.10-beta2) we've added new syntax and support to configure
the Envoy proxy to support this
To connect to a service via local Unix Domain Socket instead of a
port, add local_bind_socket_path and optionally local_bind_socket_mode
to the upstream config for a service:
upstreams = [
{
destination_name = "service-1"
local_bind_socket_path = "/tmp/socket_service_1"
local_bind_socket_mode = "0700"
...
}
...
]
This will cause Envoy to create a socket with the path and mode
provided, and connect that to service-1
The mode field is optional, and if omitted will use the default mode
for Envoy. This is not applicable for abstract sockets. See
https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/api-v3/config/core/v3/address.proto#envoy-v3-api-msg-config-core-v3-pipe
for details
NOTE: These options conflict the local_bind_socket_port and
local_bind_socket_address options. We can bind to an port or we can
bind to a socket, but not both.
To expose a service listening on a Unix Domain socket to the service
mesh use either the 'socket_path' field in the service definition or the
'local_service_socket_path' field in the proxy definition. These
fields are analogous to the 'port' and 'service_port' fields in their
respective locations.
services {
name = "service-2"
socket_path = "/tmp/socket_service_2"
...
}
OR
proxy {
local_service_socket_path = "/tmp/socket_service_2"
...
}
There is no mode field since the service is expected to create the
socket it is listening on, not the Envoy proxy.
Again, the socket_path and local_service_socket_path fields conflict
with address/port and local_service_address/local_service_port
configuration entries.
Set up a simple service mesh with dummy services:
socat -d UNIX-LISTEN:/tmp/downstream.sock,fork UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/upstream.sock
socat -v tcp-l:4444,fork exec:/bin/cat
services {
name = "sock_forwarder"
id = "sock_forwarder.1"
socket_path = "/tmp/downstream.sock"
connect {
sidecar_service {
proxy {
upstreams = [
{
destination_name = "echo-service"
local_bind_socket_path = "/tmp/upstream.sock"
config {
passive_health_check {
interval = "10s"
max_failures = 42
}
}
}
]
}
}
}
}
services {
name = "echo-service"
port = 4444
connect = { sidecar_service {} }
Kind = "ingress-gateway"
Name = "ingress-service"
Listeners = [
{
Port = 8080
Protocol = "tcp"
Services = [
{
Name = "sock_forwarder"
}
]
}
]

This PR adds cluster members to the metrics API. The number of members per
segment are reported as well as the total number of members.
Tested by running a multi-node cluster locally and ensuring the numbers were
correct. Also added unit test coverage to add the new expected gauges to
existing test cases.
Adds more clear indicators that the collections on the learn.hashicorp.com sites have specific instructions for single node deployments.

Initially we were loading every potential upstream address into Envoy
and then routing traffic to the logical upstream service. The downside
of this behavior is that traffic meant to go to a specific instance
would be load balanced across ALL instances.
Traffic to specific instance IPs should be forwarded to the original
destination and if it's a destination in the mesh then we should ensure
the appropriate certificates are used.
This PR makes transparent proxying a Kubernetes-only feature for now
since support for other environments requires generating virtual IPs,
and Consul does not do that at the moment.
The only thing that needed fixing up pertained to this section of the 1.18.x release notes:
> grpc_stats: the default value for stats_for_all_methods is switched from true to false, in order to avoid possible memory exhaustion due to an untrusted downstream sending a large number of unique method names. The previous default value was deprecated in version 1.14.0. This only changes the behavior when the value is not set. The previous behavior can be used by setting the value to true. This behavior change by be overridden by setting runtime feature envoy.deprecated_features.grpc_stats_filter_enable_stats_for_all_methods_by_default.
For now to maintain status-quo I'm explicitly setting `stats_for_all_methods=true` in all versions to avoid relying upon the default.
Additionally the naming of the emitted metrics for these gRPC requests changed slightly so the integration test assertions for `case-grpc` needed adjusting.

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.

Some TLS servers require SNI, but the Golang HTTP client doesn't
include it in the ClientHello when connecting to an IP address. This
change adds a new TLSServerName field to health check definitions to
optionally set it. This fixes#9473.
The Server certificates used for Federation require the node name in the form of `<node>.server.<dc>.<domain>`. Not having this would through `bad tls certificate` error.

Note that this does NOT upgrade to xDS v3. That will come in a future PR.
Additionally:
- Ignored staticcheck warnings about how github.com/golang/protobuf is deprecated.
- Shuffled some agent/xds imports in advance of a later xDS v3 upgrade.
- Remove support for envoy 1.13.x but don't add in 1.17.x yet. We have to wait until the xDS v3 support is added in a follow-up PR.
Fixes#8425
* Document how users can migrate to CRDs.
* Update documentation for federation with new `ProxyDefaults`
requirement.
* Ensure `controller.enabled: true` is set in our example configs.
* Remove `connect-service-protocol` annotation docs.
CTS running with default configuration will communicate over http
unless the Consul client is configured with TLS. Having the example
set the scheme to https is misleading and will result in an error:
"http: server gave HTTP response to HTTPS client"
