Ingress
Note: Kong will support the Ingress resource for the foreseeable future. However, Kong recommends that you use Gateway API resources to configure networking in Kubernetes.
The Kong Ingress Controller uses ingress classes to filter Kubernetes Ingress objects and other resources before converting them into Kong configuration. This allows it to coexist with other ingress controllers and/or other deployments of the Kong Ingress Controller in the same cluster. A Kong Ingress Controller only processes configuration marked for its use.
Configure the controller ingress class
The --ingress-class
flag (or CONTROLLER_INGRESS_CLASS
environment variable) specifies the ingress class expected by the Kong Ingress Controller. If you do not set a value, Kong Ingress Controller will default to --ingress-class=kong
.
Load resources by class
The Kong Ingress Controller translates a number of Kubernetes resources into Kong configuration. These resources can be categorized into two categories:
- Resources that the controller translates directly into Kong configuration.
- Resources referenced by some other resource, where the other resource is directly translated into Kong configuration.
For example, an Ingress is translated directly into a Kong route, and a KongConsumer is translated directly into a Kong consumer. A Secret containing an authentication plugin credential is not translated directly: it is only translated into Kong configuration if a KongConsumer resource references it.
Because they create Kong configuration independent of any other resources, directly-translated resources require an ingress class, and their class must match the class configured for the controller. Referenced resources do not require a class, but must be referenced by a directly translated resource that matches the controller.
Add class information to resources
Most resources use a kubernetes.io/ingress-class
annotation
to indicate their class. However, v1 Ingress resources have a dedicated ingressClassName
field that should contain the ingressClassName
.
When to use a custom class
Using the default kong
class is fine for simple deployments, where only one
Kong Ingress Controller instance is running in a cluster.
You need to use a custom class when:
- You install multiple Kong environments in one Kubernetes cluster to handle different types of ingress traffic. For example, when using separate Kong instances to handle traffic on internal and external load balancers, or deploying different types of non-production environments in a single test cluster.
- You install multiple controller instances alongside a single Kong cluster to
separate configuration into different Kong workspaces (DB-backed mode only) using the
--kong-workspace
flag or to restrict which Kubernetes namespaces any one controller instance has access to.
Examples
Typical configurations include a mix of resources that have class information and resources that are referenced by them. For example, consider this configuration for authenticating a request, using a KongConsumer, credential Secret, Ingress, and KongPlugin (a Service is implied, but not shown):
apiVersion: configuration.konghq.com/v1
kind: KongConsumer
metadata:
name: alice
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "kong"
username: alice
credentials:
- alice-key
---
kind: Secret
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: alice-key
labels:
konghq.com/credential: key-auth
stringData:
key: bylkogdatomoryakom
---
apiVersion: configuration.konghq.com/v1
kind: KongPlugin
metadata:
name: key-auth-example
plugin: key-auth
---
kind: Ingress
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: echo-ingress
annotations:
konghq.com/plugins: "key-auth-example"
spec:
ingressClassName: kong
rules:
- http:
paths:
- path: /echo
pathType: ImplementationSpecific
backend:
service:
name: echo
port:
number: 1027
The KongConsumer and Ingress resources both have class annotations, as they are resources that the controller uses as a basis for building Kong configuration. The Secret and KongPlugin do not have class annotations, as they are referenced by other resources that do.
