HCL2 locals don't have type constraints, and the map syntax is interpreted as
an object. So users may need to explictly convert to map for some functions.
The `convert` function documentation was missing the required type constructor
parameter for collections.
Block labels are not expressions so they can't be interpolated without hacks
like `dynamic` blocks. Clarify this so that we don't confuse users who
shouldn't need to dig into the subtle nuances between expressions and blocks.
Using the environment variable stopped working here a while back,
should be using the port label. Also upgrade to uuid-api:v5 which
supports linux/arm64.
This PR enables jobs configured with a custom sidecar_task to make
use of the `service.expose` feature for creating checks on services
in the service mesh. Before we would check that sidecar_task had not
been set (indicating that something other than envoy may be in use,
which would not support envoy's expose feature). However Consul has
not added support for anything other than envoy and probably never
will, so having the restriction in place seems like an unnecessary
hindrance. If Consul ever does support something other than Envoy,
they will likely find a way to provide the expose feature anyway.
Fixes#9854
This PR implements Nomad built-in support for running Consul Connect
terminating gateways. Such a gateway can be used by services running
inside the service mesh to access "legacy" services running outside
the service mesh while still making use of Consul's service identity
based networking and ACL policies.
https://www.consul.io/docs/connect/gateways/terminating-gateway
These gateways are declared as part of a task group level service
definition within the connect stanza.
service {
connect {
gateway {
proxy {
// envoy proxy configuration
}
terminating {
// terminating-gateway configuration entry
}
}
}
}
Currently Envoy is the only supported gateway implementation in
Consul. The gateay task can be customized by configuring the
connect.sidecar_task block.
When the gateway.terminating field is set, Nomad will write/update
the Configuration Entry into Consul on job submission. Because CEs
are global in scope and there may be more than one Nomad cluster
communicating with Consul, there is an assumption that any terminating
gateway defined in Nomad for a particular service will be the same
among Nomad clusters.
Gateways require Consul 1.8.0+, checked by a node constraint.
Closes#9445
