// Package proxycfg provides a component that monitors local agent state for
|
|
// Connect proxy service registrations and maintains the necessary cache state
|
|
// for those proxies locally. Local cache state keeps pull based proxies (e.g.
|
|
// the built in one) performant even on first request/startup, and allows for
|
|
// push-based proxy APIs (e.g. xDS for Envoy) to be notified of updates to the
|
|
// proxy configuration.
|
|
//
|
|
// The relationship with other agent components looks like this:

|
|
// 1. Manager watches local state for changes.
|
|
// 2. On local state change manager is notified and iterates through state
|
|
// looking for proxy service registrations.
|
|
// 3. For each proxy service registered, the manager maintains a State
|
|
// instance, recreating on change, removing when deregistered.
|
|
// 4. State instance copies the parts of the the proxy service registration
|
|
// needed to configure proxy, and sets up blocking watches on the local
|
|
// agent cache for all remote state needed: root and leaf certs, intentions,
|
|
// and service discovery results for the specified upstreams. This ensures
|
|
// these results are always in local cache for "pull" based proxies like the
|
|
// built-in one.
|
|
// 5. If needed, pull-based proxy config APIs like the xDS server can Watch the
|
|
// config for a given proxy service.
|
|
// 6. Watchers get notified every time something changes the current snapshot
|
|
// of config for the proxy. That might be changes to the registration,
|
|
// certificate rotations, changes to the upstreams required (needing
|
|
// different listener config), or changes to the service discovery results
|
|
// for any upstream (e.g. new instance of upstream service came up).
