Internal

In Internal type Ingress, HAProxy pods are exposed via a ClusterIP type Kubernetes service named voyager-${ingress-name}. To enable this, apply the ingress.appscode.com/type: Internal annotation on a Ingress object. Unlike Kubernetes Service which operates at L4 level, this creates a cluster internal L7 proxy. An example use-case is proxy for ElasticSearch cluster to handle persistent connections, alleviating the ElasticSearch servers from having to deal w/ tons of connection creations.

How It Works

  • First, install Voyager operator in your cluster following the steps here.

  • Now, deploy test servers using this script script.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/voyagermesh/voyager/v2022.06.20/docs/examples/ingress/types/internal/deploy-servers.sh | bash

deployment "nginx" created
service "web" exposed
deployment "echoserver" created
service "rest" exposed
  • Now, create an Ingress object running
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/voyagermesh/voyager/v2022.06.20/docs/examples/ingress/types/internal/ing.yaml

Please note the annotaiton on ingress:
