When the envoy healthy panic threshold was explicitly disabled as part of L7 traffic management it changed how envoy decided to load balance to endpoints in a cluster. This only matters when envoy is in "panic mode" aka "when you have a bunch of unhealthy endpoints". Panic mode sends traffic to unhealthy instances in certain circumstances. Note: Prior to explicitly disabling the healthy panic threshold, the default value is 50%. What was happening is that the test harness was bringing up consul the sidecars, and the service instances all at once and sometimes the proxies wouldn't have time to be checked by consul to be labeled as 'passing' in the catalog before a round of EDS happened. The xDS server in consul effectively queries /v1/health/connect/s2 and gets 1 result, but that one result has a 'critical' check so the xDS server sends back that endpoint labeled as UNHEALTHY. Envoy sees that 100% of the endpoints in the cluster are unhealthy and would enter panic mode and still send traffic to s2. This is why the test suites PRIOR to disabling the healthy panic threshold worked. They were _incorrectly_ passing. When the healthy panic threshol is disabled, envoy never enters panic mode in this situation and thus the cluster has zero healthy endpoints so load balancing goes nowhere and the tests fail. Why does this only affect the test suites for envoy 1.8.0? My guess is that https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/pull/4442 was merged into the 1.9.x series and somehow that plays a role. This PR modifies the bats scripts to explicitly wait until the upstream sidecar is healthy as measured by /v1/health/connect/s2?passing BEFORE trying to interrogate envoy which should make the tests less racy. |

Consul
- Website: https://www.consul.io

Consul is a tool for service discovery and configuration. Consul is distributed, highly available, and extremely scalable.
Consul provides several key features:
-
Service Discovery - Consul makes it simple for services to register themselves and to discover other services via a DNS or HTTP interface. External services such as SaaS providers can be registered as well.
-
Health Checking - Health Checking enables Consul to quickly alert operators about any issues in a cluster. The integration with service discovery prevents routing traffic to unhealthy hosts and enables service level circuit breakers.
-
Key/Value Storage - A flexible key/value store enables storing dynamic configuration, feature flagging, coordination, leader election and more. The simple HTTP API makes it easy to use anywhere.
-
Multi-Datacenter - Consul is built to be datacenter aware, and can support any number of regions without complex configuration.
-
Service Segmentation - Consul Connect enables secure service-to-service communication with automatic TLS encryption and identity-based authorization.
Consul runs on Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Windows. A commercial version called Consul Enterprise is also available.
Please note: We take Consul's security and our users' trust very seriously. If you believe you have found a security issue in Consul, please responsibly disclose by contacting us at security@hashicorp.com.
