The IngressController is an implementation of Kubernetes ingress controller, it watches Kubernetes Ingress, Service, Endpoints, and Secrets then translates them to Easegress HTTP server and pipelines.
- K8s cluster : v1.18+
kind: IngressController
name: ingress-controller-example
kubeConfig:
masterURL:
namespaces: ["default"]
ingressClass: easegress
httpServer:
port: 8080
https: false
keepAlive: true
keepAliveTimeout: 60s
maxConnections: 10240
-
IngressController uses
kubeConfig
andmasterURL
to connect to Kubernetes, at least one of them must be specified when deployed outside of a Kubernetes cluster, and both are optional when deployed inside a cluster. -
The
namespaces
is an array of Kubernetes namespaces which the IngressController needs to watch, all namespaces are watched if left empty. -
IngressController only handles
Ingresses
withingressClassName
set toingressClass
, the default value ofingressClass
iseasegress
. -
One IngressController manages a shared HTTP traffic gate and multiple pipelines according to the Kubernetes ingress. The
httpServer
section in the spec is the basic configuration for the shared HTTP traffic gate. The routing part of the HTTP server and pipeline configurations will be generated dynamically according to Kubernetes ingresses.
If your cluster is configured with RBAC, first you will need to authorize Easegress IngressController for using the Kubernetes API. Below is an example configuration:
---
kind: ClusterRole
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: easegress-ingress-controller
rules:
- apiGroups: [""] # "" indicates the core API group
resources: ["services", "endpoints", "secrets"]
verbs: ["get", "watch", "list"]
- apiGroups: ["networking.k8s.io"]
resources: ["ingresses"]
verbs: ["get", "watch", "list"]
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
name: easegress-ingress-controller
namespace: default
---
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
name: easegress-ingress-controller
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
name: easegress-ingress-controller
namespace: default
roleRef:
kind: ClusterRole
name: easegress-ingress-controller
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
Note the name of the ServiceAccount we just created is easegress-ingress-controller
, it will be used later.
Let's use ConfigMap to store Easegress server configuration and Easegress ingress configuration. This ConfigMap is used later in Deployment.
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: easegress-cm
namespace: default
data:
easegress-server.yaml: |
name: ingress-easegress
cluster-name: easegress-ingress-controller
cluster-role: primary
api-addr: 0.0.0.0:2381
data-dir: /opt/easegress/data
log-dir: /opt/easegress/log
debug: false
controller.yaml: |
kind: IngressController
name: ingress-controller-example
kubeConfig:
masterURL:
namespaces: ["default"]
ingressClass: easegress
httpServer:
port: 8080
https: false
keepAlive: true
keepAliveTimeout: 60s
maxConnections: 10240
The easegress-server.yaml
creates Easegress instance named easegress-ingress-controller and controller.yaml
defines IngressController object for Easegress.
To deploy the IngressController, we will create a Deployment and a Service as below:
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
labels:
app: easegress-ingress
name: easegress
namespace: default
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
app: easegress-ingress
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: easegress-ingress
spec:
serviceAccountName: easegress-ingress-controller
containers:
- args:
- -c
- |-
/opt/easegress/bin/easegress-server \
-f /opt/eg-config/easegress-server.yaml \
--initial-object-config-files /opt/eg-config/controller.yaml \
--initial-cluster $(EG_NAME)=http://localhost:2380
command:
- /bin/sh
env:
- name: EG_NAME
valueFrom:
fieldRef:
apiVersion: v1
fieldPath: metadata.name
image: megaease/easegress:latest
imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
name: easegress-primary
resources:
limits:
cpu: 1200m
memory: 2Gi
requests:
cpu: 100m
memory: 256Mi
volumeMounts:
- mountPath: /opt/eg-config/easegress-server.yaml
name: easegress-cm
subPath: easegress-server.yaml
- mountPath: /opt/eg-config/controller.yaml
name: easegress-cm
subPath: controller.yaml
- mountPath: /opt/easegress/data
name: ingress-data-volume
- mountPath: /opt/easegress/log
name: ingress-data-volume
restartPolicy: Always
volumes:
- emptyDir: {}
name: ingress-data-volume
- configMap:
defaultMode: 420
items:
- key: easegress-server.yaml
path: easegress-server.yaml
- key: controller.yaml
path: controller.yaml
name: easegress-cm
name: easegress-cm
The IngressController is created via the command line argument initial-object-config-files
of easegress-server
. Notice how Easegress logs and data are stored to emptyDir called ingress-data-volume
inside the pod. IngressController is stateless so we can restart new pods without preserving previous state.
Last but not least let's create service for forwarding the Ingress traffic to Easegress.
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: easegress-public
namespace: default
spec:
ports:
- name: web
protocol: TCP
port: 8080
nodePort: 30080
selector:
app: easegress-ingress
type: NodePort
The port web
is to receive external HTTP requests from port 30080 and forward them to the HTTP server in Easegress.
Apply below YAML configuration to Kubernetes:
---
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: hello-deployment
spec:
selector:
matchLabels:
app: products
department: sales
replicas: 2
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: products
department: sales
spec:
containers:
- name: hello-v1
image: "us-docker.pkg.dev/google-samples/containers/gke/hello-app:1.0"
env:
- name: "PORT"
value: "50001"
- name: hello-v2
image: "us-docker.pkg.dev/google-samples/containers/gke/hello-app:2.0"
env:
- name: "PORT"
value: "50002"
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: hello-service
spec:
type: NodePort
selector:
app: products
department: sales
ports:
- name: port-v1
protocol: TCP
port: 60001
targetPort: 50001
- name: port-v2
protocol: TCP
port: 60002
targetPort: 50002
---
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: ingress-example
spec:
ingressClassName: easegress
rules:
- host: "www.example.com"
http:
paths:
- pathType: Prefix
path: /
backend:
service:
name: hello-service
port:
number: 60001
- host: "*.megaease.com"
http:
paths:
- pathType: Prefix
path: /
backend:
service:
name: hello-service
port:
number: 60002
Once all pods are up and running, we can leverage the command below to access both versions of the hello
application:
$ curl http://{NODE_IP}:30080/ -HHost:www.megaease.com
Hello, world!
Version: 2.0.0
Hostname: hello-deployment-6cbf765985-r6242
$ curl http://{NODE_IP}:30080/ -HHost:www.example.com
Hello, world!
Version: 1.0.0
Hostname: hello-deployment-6cbf765985-r6242
And we can see Easegress IngressController has forwarded requests to the correct application version according to Kubernetes ingress.
In previous chapters we created IngressController with one instance running. To support high-availability scenarios, you can increase the number of replicas in the Deployment:
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
labels:
app: easegress-ingress
name: easegress
namespace: default
spec:
replicas: 2 # number of IngressController instances running
...
