Mesh HTTP Route

This policy uses new policy matching algorithm. It’s recommended to migrate from TrafficRoute. See “Interactions with TrafficRoute” section for more information.

The MeshHTTPRoute policy allows altering and redirecting HTTP requests depending on where the request coming from and where it’s going to.

TargetRef support matrix

If you don’t understand this table you should read matching docs.

Configuration

Unlike others outbound policies MeshHTTPRoute doesn’t contain default directly in the to array. The default section is nested inside rules, so the policy structure looks like this:

spec:
  to:
    - targetRef: {...}
      rules:
        - matches: [...] # various ways to match an HTTP request (path, method, query)
          default: # configuration applied for the matched HTTP request
            filters: [...]
            backendRefs: [...]

Remember to tag your Service ports with appProtocol: http to use them in a MeshHTTPRoute!

Gateways

In order to route HTTP traffic for a MeshGateway, you need to target the MeshGateway in spec.targetRef and set spec.to[].targetRef.kind: Mesh.

Interactions with MeshTCPRoute

MeshHTTPRoute takes priority over MeshTCPRoute when a proxy is targeted by both and the matching MeshTCPRoute is ignored.

Interactions with TrafficRoute

MeshHTTPRoute takes priority over TrafficRoute when a proxy is targeted by both policies.

All legacy policies like Retry, TrafficLog, Timeout etc. only match on routes defined by TrafficRoute. All new recommended policies like MeshRetry, MeshAccessLog, MeshTimeout etc. match on routes defined by MeshHTTPRoute and TrafficRoute.

If you don’t use legacy policies, it’s recommended to remove any existing TrafficRoute. Otherwise, it’s recommended to migrate to new policies and then removing TrafficRoute.

Examples

Traffic split

We can use MeshHTTPRoute to split an HTTP traffic between services with different tags implementing A/B testing or canary deployments.

Here is an example of a MeshHTTPRoute that splits the traffic from frontend_kuma-demo_svc_8080 to backend_kuma-demo_svc_3001 between versions, but only on endpoints starting with /api. All other endpoints will go to version: 1.0.

apiVersion: kuma.io/v1alpha1
kind: MeshHTTPRoute
metadata:
  name: http-route-1
  namespace: kong-mesh-system
  labels:
    kuma.io/mesh: default
spec:
  targetRef:
    kind: MeshService
    name: frontend_kuma-demo_svc_8080
  to:
    - targetRef:
        kind: MeshService
        name: backend_kuma-demo_svc_3001
      rules:
        - matches:
            - path:
                type: PathPrefix
                value: /
          default:
            backendRefs:
              - kind: MeshServiceSubset
                name: backend_kuma-demo_svc_3001
                tags:
                  version: "v0"
                weight: 90
              - kind: MeshServiceSubset
                name: backend_kuma-demo_svc_3001
                tags:
                  version: "v1"
                weight: 10

type: MeshHTTPRoute
name: http-route-1
mesh: default
spec:
  targetRef:
    kind: MeshService
    name: frontend_kuma-demo_svc_8080
  to:
    - targetRef:
        kind: MeshService
        name: backend_kuma-demo_svc_3001
      rules:
        - matches:
            - path:
                type: PathPrefix
                value: /
          default:
            backendRefs:
              - kind: MeshServiceSubset
                name: backend_kuma-demo_svc_3001
                tags:
                  version: "v0"
                weight: 90
              - kind: MeshServiceSubset
                name: backend_kuma-demo_svc_3001
                tags:
                  version: "v1"
                weight: 10

Traffic modifications

We can use MeshHTTPRoute to modify outgoing requests, by setting new path or changing request and response headers.

Here is an example of a MeshHTTPRoute that adds x-custom-header with value xyz when frontend_kuma-demo_svc_8080 tries to consume backend_kuma-demo_svc_3001.

apiVersion: kuma.io/v1alpha1
kind: MeshHTTPRoute
metadata:
  name: http-route-1
  namespace: kong-mesh-system
  labels:
    kuma.io/mesh: default
spec:
  targetRef:
    kind: MeshService
    name: frontend_kuma-demo_svc_8080
  to:
    - targetRef:
        kind: MeshService
        name: backend_kuma-demo_svc_3001
      rules:
        - matches:
            - path:
                type: Exact
                value: /
          default:
            filters:
              - type: RequestHeaderModifier
                requestHeaderModifier:
                  set:
                    - name: x-custom-header
                      value: xyz

type: MeshHTTPRoute
name: http-route-1
mesh: default
spec:
  targetRef:
    kind: MeshService
    name: frontend_kuma-demo_svc_8080
  to:
    - targetRef:
        kind: MeshService
        name: backend_kuma-demo_svc_3001
      rules:
        - matches:
            - path:
                type: Exact
                value: /
          default:
            filters:
              - type: RequestHeaderModifier
                requestHeaderModifier:
                  set:
                    - name: x-custom-header
                      value: xyz

Traffic mirror

MeshHTTPRoute can mirror a fraction of requests to another service. This can be useful when testing a new version of the app with the production payload without interrupting real users.

apiVersion: kuma.io/v1alpha1
kind: MeshHTTPRoute
metadata:
  name: http-route-1
  namespace: kong-mesh-system
  labels:
    kuma.io/mesh: default
spec:
  targetRef:
    kind: MeshService
    name: frontend_kuma-demo_svc_8080
  to:
    - targetRef:
        kind: MeshService
        name: backend_kuma-demo_svc_3001
      rules:
        - matches:
            - headers:
                - type: Exact
                  name: mirror-this-request
                  value: "true"
          default:
            filters:
              - type: RequestMirror
                requestMirror:
                  percentage: 30
                  backendRef:
                    kind: MeshServiceSubset
                    name: backend_kuma-demo_svc_3001
                    tags:
                      version: v1_experimental
            backendRefs:
              - kind: MeshServiceSubset
                name: backend_kuma-demo_svc_3001
                tags:
                  version: v0

type: MeshHTTPRoute
name: http-route-1
mesh: default
spec:
  targetRef:
    kind: MeshService
    name: frontend_kuma-demo_svc_8080
  to:
    - targetRef:
        kind: MeshService
        name: backend_kuma-demo_svc_3001
      rules:
        - matches:
            - headers:
                - type: Exact
                  name: mirror-this-request
                  value: "true"
          default:
            filters:
              - type: RequestMirror
                requestMirror:
                  percentage: 30
                  backendRef:
                    kind: MeshServiceSubset
                    name: backend_kuma-demo_svc_3001
                    tags:
                      version: v1_experimental
            backendRefs:
              - kind: MeshServiceSubset
                name: backend_kuma-demo_svc_3001
                tags:
                  version: v0

Merging

When several MeshHTTPRoute policies target the same data plane proxy they’re merged. Similar to the new policies the merging order is determined by the top level targetRef. The difference is in spec.to[].rules. Kong Mesh treats rules as a key-value map where matches is a key and default is a value. For example MeshHTTPRoute policies:

# MeshHTTPRoute-1
rules:
  - matches: # key-1
      - path:
          type: Exact
          name: /orders
        method: GET
    default: CONF_1 # value
  - matches: # key-2
      - path:
          type: Exact
          name: /payments
        method: POST
    default: CONF_2 # value
---
# MeshHTTPRoute-2
rules:
  - matches: # key-3
      - path:
          type: Exact
          name: /orders
        method: GET
    default: CONF_3 # value
  - matches: # key-4
      - path:
          type: Exact
          name: /payments
        method: POST
    default: CONF_4 # value

merged in the following list of rules:

rules:
  - matches:
      - path:
          type: Exact
          name: /orders
        method: GET
    default: merge(CONF_1, CONF_3) # because 'key-1' == 'key-3'
  - matches:
      - path:
          type: Exact
          name: /payments
        method: POST
    default: merge(CONF_2, CONF_4) # because 'key-2' == 'key-4'
