This changeset is the documentation for supporting multiple Vault and Consul
clusters in Nomad Enterprise. It includes documentation changes for the agent
configuration (#18255), the namespace specification (#18425), and the vault,
consul, and service blocks of the jobspec (#18409).
This feature is necessary when user want to explicitly re-render all templates on task restart.
E.g. to fetch all new secrets from Vault, even if the lease on the existing secrets has not been expired.
This complements the `env` parameter, so that the operator can author
tasks that don't share their Vault token with the workload when using
`image` filesystem isolation. As a result, more powerful tokens can be used
in a job definition, allowing it to use template stanzas to issue all kinds of
secrets (database secrets, Vault tokens with very specific policies, etc.),
without sharing that issuing power with the task itself.
This is accomplished by creating a directory called `private` within
the task's working directory, which shares many properties of
the `secrets` directory (tmpfs where possible, not accessible by
`nomad alloc fs` or Nomad's web UI), but isn't mounted into/bound to the
container.
If the `disable_file` parameter is set to `false` (its default), the Vault token
is also written to the NOMAD_SECRETS_DIR, so the default behavior is
backwards compatible. Even if the operator never changes the default,
they will still benefit from the improved behavior of Nomad never reading
the token back in from that - potentially altered - location.
This changeset only adds the `node_pool` field to the jobspec, and ensures that
it gets picked up correctly as a change. Without the rest of the implementation
landed yet, the field will be ignored.
A "readiness" check implies a failing healthcheck will not cause the
deployment of a service to stop - i.e. it is only used as a liveness
probe in the context of service discoverability.
Fix our docs example to reflect that a readiness check is created by
setting on_update to "ignore" (as opposed to "ignore_warnings").
When the server restarts for the upgrade, it loads the `structs.Job` from the
Raft snapshot/logs. The jobspec has long since been parsed, so none of the
guards around the default value are in play. The empty field value for `Enabled`
is the zero value, which is false.
This doesn't impact any running allocation because we don't replace running
allocations when either the client or server restart. But as soon as any
allocation gets rescheduled (ex. you drain all your clients during upgrades),
it'll be using the `structs.Job` that the server has, which has `Enabled =
false`, and logs will not be collected.
This changeset fixes the bug by adding a new field `Disabled` which defaults to
false (so that the zero value works), and deprecates the old field.
Fixes#17076
This PR modifies references to the envoyproxy/envoy docker image to
explicitly include the docker.io prefix. This does not affect existing
users, but makes things easier for Podman users, who otherwise need to
specify the full name because Podman does not default to docker.io
Some Nomad users ship application logs out-of-band via syslog. For these users
having `logmon` (and `docker_logger`) running is unnecessary overhead. Allow
disabling the logmon and pointing the task's stdout/stderr to /dev/null.
This changeset is the first of several incremental improvements to log
collection short of full-on logging plugins. The next step will likely be to
extend the internal-only task driver configuration so that cluster
administrators can turn off log collection for the entire driver.

Fixes: #11175

The `ephemeral_disk` block's `migrate` field allows for best-effort migration of
the ephemeral disk data to new nodes. The documentation says the `migrate` field
is only respected if `sticky=true`, but in fact if client ACLs are not set the
data is migrated even if `sticky=false`.
The existing behavior when client ACLs are disabled has existed since the early
implementation, so "fixing" that case now would silently break backwards
compatibility. Additionally, having `migrate` not imply `sticky` seems
nonsensical: it suggests that if we place on a new node we migrate the data but
if we place on the same node, we throw the data away!
Update so that `migrate=true` implies `sticky=true` as follows:
* The failure mode when client ACLs are enabled comes from the server not passing
along a migration token. Update the server so that the server provides a
migration token whenever `migrate=true` and not just when `sticky=true` too.
* Update the scheduler so that `migrate` implies `sticky`.
* Update the client so that we check for `migrate || sticky` where appropriate.
* Refactor the E2E tests to move them off the old framework and make the intention
of the test more clear.
* docs: dispatch_payload docs had some weirdness
Docs said "Examples" when there was only 1 example. Not sure what the
floating "to" in the description was for.
* docs: missing a heading level on jobs api docs
* docs: add dynamic node metadata api docs
Also update all paths in the client API docs to explicitly state the
`/v1/` prefix. We're inconsistent about that, but I think it's better to
display the full path than to only show the fragment. If we ever do a
`/v2/` whether or not we explicitly state `/v1/` in our docs won't be
our greatest concern.
* docs: add task-api docs
Service jobs should have unique allocation Names, derived from the
Job.ID. System jobs do not have unique allocation Names because the index is
intended to indicated the instance out of a desired count size. Because system
jobs do not have an explicit count but the results are based on the targeted
nodes, the index is less informative and this was intentionally omitted from the
original design.
Update docs to make it clear that NOMAD_ALLOC_INDEX is always zero for
system/sysbatch jobs
Validate that `volume.per_alloc` is incompatible with system/sysbatch jobs.
System and sysbatch jobs always have a `NOMAD_ALLOC_INDEX` of 0. So
interpolation via `per_alloc` will not work as soon as there's more than one
allocation placed. Validate against this on job submission.
Add `identity` jobspec block to expose workload identity tokens to tasks.

Disallowing per_alloc for host volumes in some cases makes life of a nomad user much harder.
When we rely on the NOMAD_ALLOC_INDEX for any configuration that needs to be re-used across
restarts we need to make sure allocation placement is consistent. With CSI volumes we can
use the `per_alloc` feature but for some reason this is explicitly disabled for host volumes.
Ensure host volumes understand the concept of per_alloc
