A few small updates to the recent "Federate access to AWS with Nomad Workload Identity" documentation, most notably that restart isn't needed because AWS SDKs handle OIDC reauth gracefully (unlike any other type of auth - for all others it's cached statically on startup, so nothing but a full restart works in case your credentials expire).
Nomad v1.9.0 (finally!) removes support for HCL1 and the `-hcl1` flag.
See #23912 for details.
One of the uses of HCL1 over HCL2 was that HCL1 allowed quoted keys in
blocks such as env, meta, and Docker's labels:
```hcl
some_block {
"foo.bar" = "baz"
}
```
This works in HCL1 but is invalid HCL2. In HCL2 you must use a map
instead of a block:
```hcl
some_map = {
"eggs.spam" = "works!"
}
```
This was such a hassle for users we special cased the `env` and `meta`
blocks to be accepted as blocks or maps in #9936.
However Docker `labels`, being a task config option, is much harder to
special case and commonly needs dots-in-keys for things like DataDog
autodiscovery via Docker container labels:
https://docs.datadoghq.com/containers/docker/integrations/?tab=labels
Luckily `labels` can be specified as a list-of-maps instead:
```hcl
labels = [
{
"com.datadoghq.ad.check_names" = "[\"openmetrics\"]"
"com.datadoghq.ad.init_configs" = "[{}]"
}
]
```
So instead of adding more awkward hcl1/2 backward compat code to Nomad,
I just updated the docs to hopefully help people hit by this.
The only other known workaround is dropping HCL in favor of JSON
jobspecs altogether, but that forces a huge migration and maintenance
burden on users:

In #23977 we moved the keyring into Raft, which can expose key material in Raft
snapshots when using the less-secure AEAD keyring instead of KMS. This changeset
adds tools for redacting this material from snapshots:
* The `operator snapshot state` command gains the ability to display key
metadata (only), which respects the `-filter` option.
* The `operator snapshot save` command gains a `-redact` option that removes key
material from the snapshot after it's downloaded.
* A new `operator snapshot redact` command allows removing key material from an
existing snapshot.
so more than one copy of a program can run
at a time on the same port with SO_REUSEPORT.
requires host network mode.
some task drivers (like docker) may also need
config {
network_mode = "host"
}
but this is not validated prior to placement.
The documentation is referring to a `file` attribute that does not exist on the `vault` block.
This PR changes those references to mention the `disable_file` attribute instead.
As of Nomad 1.6.0, Nomad client agents send their secret with all the
RPCs (other than registration). But for backwards compatibility we had to keep
a legacy auth method that didn't require the node secret. We've previously
announced that this legacy auth method would be removed and that nodes older
than 1.6.0 would not be supported with Nomad 1.9.0.
This changeset removes the legacy auth method.

When we interpolate job fields for the `vault.default_identity.extra_claims`
block, we forgot to use the parent job ID when that's available (as we do for
all other claims). This changeset fixes the bug and adds a helper method that'll
hopefully remind us to do this going forward.
Also added a missing changelog entry for #23675 where we implemented the
`extra_claims` block originally, which shipped in Nomad 1.8.3.

Nomad clients manage a cpuset cgroup for each task to reserve or share CPU
cores. But Docker owns its own cgroups, and attempting to set a parent cgroup
that Nomad manages runs into conflicts with how runc manages cgroups via
systemd. Therefore Nomad must run as root in order for cpuset management to ever
be compatible with Docker.
However, some users running in unsupported configurations felt that the changes
we made in Nomad 1.7.0 to ensure Nomad was running correctly represented a
regression. This changeset disables cpuset management for non-root Nomad
clients. When running Nomad as non-root, the driver will not longer reconcile
cpusets with Nomad and `resources.cores` will behave incorrectly (but the driver
will still run).
Although this is one small step along the way to supporting a rootless Nomad
client, running Nomad as non-root is still unsupported. This PR is insufficient
by itself to have a secure and properly-working rootless Nomad client.

Although we have `client.allocations` metrics to track allocation states on a
client, having separate metrics for `client.tasks` will allow operators to
identify that there are individual tasks in an unexpected state in an otherwise
healthy allocation.

The path for a Variable never begins with a leading `/`, because it's stripped
off in the API before it ever gets to the state store. The CLI and UI allow the
leading `/` for convenience, but this can be misleading when it comes to writing
ACL policies. An ACL policy with a path starting with a leading `/` will never
match.
Update the ACL policy parser so that we prevent an incorrect variable path in
the policy.

- Pulled common content from multiple pages into new partials
- Refactored install/index to be OS-based so I could add linux-distro-based instructions to install-consul-cni-plugins.mdx partial. The tab groups on the install/index page do match and change focus as expected.
- Moved CNI overview-type content to networking/index
- Refactored networking/cni to include install CNI plugins and configuration content (from install/index).
- Moved CNI plugins explanation in bridge mode configuration section into bullet points. They had been #### headings, which aren't rendered in the R page TOC. I tried to simplify and format the bullet point content to be easier to scan.

On supported platforms, the secrets directory is a 1MiB tmpfs. But some tasks
need larger space for downloading large secrets. This is especially the case for
tasks using `templates`, which need extra room to write a temporary file to the
secrets directory that gets renamed to the old file atomically.
This changeset allows increasing the size of the tmpfs in the `resources`
block. Because this is a memory resource, we need to include it in the memory we
allocate for scheduling purposes. The task is already prevented from using more
memory in the tmpfs than the `resources.memory` field allows, but can bypass
that limit by writing to the tmpfs via `template` or `artifact` blocks.
Therefore, we need to account for the size of the tmpfs in the allocation
resources. Simply adding it to the memory needed when we create the allocation
allows it to be accounted for in all downstream consumers, and then we'll
subtract that amount from the memory resources just before configuring the task
driver.
For backwards compatibility, the default value of 1MiB is "free" and ignored by
the scheduler. Otherwise we'd be increasing the allocated resources for every
existing alloc, which could cause problems across upgrades. If a user explicitly
sets `resources.secrets = 1` it will no longer be free.

In 1.6.0 we shipped the ability to review the original HCL in the web UI, but
didn't follow-up with an equivalent in the command line. Add a `-hcl` flag to
the `job inspect` command.

Although we encourage users to use Vault roles, sometimes they're going to want
to assign policies based on entity and pre-create entities and aliases based on
claims. This allows them to use single default role (or at least small number of
them) that has a templated policy, but have an escape hatch from that.
When defining Vault entities the `user_claim` must be unique. When writing Vault
binding rules for use with Nomad workload identities the binding rule won't be
able to create a 1:1 mapping because the selector language allows accessing only
a single field. The `nomad_job_id` claim isn't sufficient to uniquely identify a
job because of namespaces. It's possible to create a JWT auth role with
`bound_claims` to avoid this becoming a security problem, but this doesn't allow
for correct accounting of user claims.
Add support for an `extra_claims` block on the server's `default_identity`
blocks for Vault. This allows a cluster administrator to add a custom claim on
all allocations. The values for these claims are interpolatable with a limited
subset of fields, similar to how we interpolate the task environment.
