Maximum Connections

You can specify the maximum number of concurrent connections through the ingress.appscode.com/max-connections annotation. When applied to ingress, this rule will be applied globally for all backends. To apply for a specific backend, you need to apply the annotation to associated pod.

Ingress Example

First create a test-server and expose it via service:

$ kubectl run test-server --image=gcr.io/google_containers/echoserver:1.8
deployment "test-server" created

$ kubectl expose deployment test-server --type=LoadBalancer --port=80 --target-port=8080
service "test-server" exposed

Then create the ingress:

$ kubectl apply -f test-ingress.yaml

apiVersion: voyager.appscode.com/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: test-ingress
  namespace: default
  annotations:
    ingress.appscode.com/max-connections: "1"
spec:
  rules:
  - host: voyager.appscode.test
    http:
      paths:
      - path: /foo
        backend:
          service:
          	name: test-server
            port:
              number: 80

This will add maxconn 1 in global section of generated haproxy.cfg.

Pod Annotation

To apply it for specific backend let’s patch the deployment and add the annotation to pod template:

$ kubectl patch deployment test-server -p '{"spec":{"template":{"metadata":{"annotations":{"ingress.appscode.com/max-connections": "3"}}}}}'
deployment "test-server" patched

This will add maxconn 3 in server section of generated haproxy.cfg.
