Make `resolve` a stack module (#106)
The `proxy::http::balance` module uses the `proxy::resolve::Resolve`
trait to implement a `Discover`.

This coupling between the balance and resolve modules prevents
integrating the destination profile API such that there is a per-route,
per-endpoint stack.

This change makes the `balance` stack generic over a stack that produces
a `Discover`. The `resolve` module now implements a stack that produces
a `Discover` and is generic over a per-endpoint stack.

Build Status GitHub license Slack Status

This repo contains the transparent proxy component of Linkerd2. While the Linkerd2 proxy is heavily influenced by the Linkerd 1.X proxy, it comprises an entirely new codebase implemented in the Rust programming language.

This proxy's features include:

  • Transparent, zero-config proxying for HTTP, HTTP/2, and arbitrary TCP protocols.
  • Automatic Prometheus metrics export for HTTP and TCP traffic;
  • Transparent, zero-config WebSocket proxying;
  • Automatic, latency-aware, layer-7 load balancing;
  • Automatic layer-4 load balancing for non-HTTP traffic;
  • Automatic TLS (experimental);
  • An on-demand diagnostic tap API.

This proxy is primarily intended to run on Linux in containerized environments like Kubernetes, though it may also work on other Unix-like systems (like macOS).

The proxy supports service discovery via DNS and the linkerd2 Destination gRPC API.

The Linkerd project is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).

Building the project

A Makefile is provided to automate most build tasks. It provides the following targets:

  • make build -- Compiles the proxy on your local system using cargo
  • make test -- Runs unit and integration tests on your local system using cargo
  • make test-flakey -- Runs all tests, including those that may fail spuriously
  • make package -- Builds a tarball at target/release/linkerd2-proxy-${PACKAGE_VERSION}.tar.gz. If PACKAGE_VERSION is not set in the environment, the local git SHA is used.
  • make docker -- Builds a Docker container image that can be used for testing. If the DOCKER_TAG environment variable is set, the image is given this name. Otherwise, the image is not named.

Cargo

Usually, Cargo, Rust's package manager, is used to build and test this project. If you don't have Cargo installed, we suggest getting it via https://rustup.rs/.

Artifacts

Each version of the master branch is published to build.l5d.io/linkerd2-proxy/linkerd2-proxy-$PACKAGE_VERSION.tar.gz. The most recent version (and the package's SHA256 sum) can be discovered via:

:; curl https://build.l5d.io/linkerd2-proxy/latest.txt

The SHA256 sum of each package version is found at:

:; curl https://build.l5d.io/linkerd2-proxy/linkerd2-proxy-$PACKAGE_VERSION.txt
