Templates in nomad jobs make use of the vault token defined in
the vault stanza when issuing credentials like client certificates.
When using change_mode "noop" in the vault stanza, consul-template
is not informed in case a vault token is re-issued (which can
happen from time to time for various reasons, as described
in https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/job-specification/vault).
As a result, consul-template will keep using the old vault token
to renew credentials and - once the token expired - stop renewing
credentials. The symptom of this problem is a vault_token
file that is newer than the issued credential (e.g., TLS certificate)
in a job's /secrets directory.
This change corrects this, so that h.updater.updatedVaultToken(token)
is called, which will inform stakeholders about the new
token and make sure, the new token is used by consul-template.
Example job template fragment:
vault {
policies = ["nomad-job-policy"]
change_mode = "noop"
}
template {
data = <<-EOH
{{ with secret "pki_int/issue/nomad-job"
"common_name=myjob.service.consul" "ttl=90m"
"alt_names=localhost" "ip_sans=127.0.0.1"}}
{{ .Data.certificate }}
{{ .Data.private_key }}
{{ .Data.issuing_ca }}
{{ end }}
EOH
destination = "${NOMAD_SECRETS_DIR}/myjob.crt"
change_mode = "noop"
}
This fix does not alter the meaning of the three change modes of vault
- "noop" - Take no action
- "restart" - Restart the job
- "signal" - send a signal to the task
as the switch statement following line 232 contains the necessary
logic.
It is assumed that "take no action" was never meant to mean "don't tell
consul-template about the new vault token".
Successfully tested in a staging cluster consisting of multiple
nomad client nodes.
This PR exposes the following existing`consul-template` configuration options to Nomad jobspec authors in the `{job.group.task.template}` stanza.
- `wait`
It also exposes the following`consul-template` configuration to Nomad operators in the `{client.template}` stanza.
- `max_stale`
- `block_query_wait`
- `consul_retry`
- `vault_retry`
- `wait`
Finally, it adds the following new Nomad-specific configuration to the `{client.template}` stanza that allows Operators to set bounds on what `jobspec` authors configure.
- `wait_bounds`

Client endpoints such as `alloc exec` are enforced on the client if
the API client or CLI has "line of sight" to the client. This is
already in the Learn guide but having it in the ACL configuration docs
would be helpful.

When `volumewatcher.Watcher` starts on the leader, it starts a watch
on every volume and triggers a reap of unused claims on any change to
that volume. But if a reaping is in-flight during leadership
transitions, it will fail and the event that triggered the reap will
be dropped. Perform one reap of unused claims at the start of the
watcher so that leadership transitions don't drop this event.
