Our
consulcompat
tests exercise both the Workload Identity and legacy Consul token workflow, but they are limited to running single node tests. The E2E cluster is network isolated, so using our HCP Consul cluster runs into a problem validating WI tokens because it can't reach the JWKS endpoint. In real production environments, you'd solve this with a CNAME pointing to a public IP pointing to a proxy with a real domain name. But that's logistically impractical for our ephemeral nightly cluster.Migrate the HCP Consul to a single-node Consul cluster on AWS EC2 alongside our Nomad cluster. Bootstrap TLS and ACLs in Terraform and ensure all nodes can reach each other. This will allow us to update our Consul tests so they can use Workload Identity, in a separate PR.
An important note here is that right now this only runs Consul Enterprise, so the test runner needs to provide a license file. We only run nightly on Nomad Enterprise anyways so this isn't a huge deal, but in later work it might be nice to be able to run against Consul CE as well.
