Enabling Ingress Traffic	Describes how to configure Istio to expose a service outside of the service mesh.	30	docs	markdown

This task describes how to configure Istio to expose a service outside of the service mesh cluster. In a Kubernetes environment, Istio uses Kubernetes Ingress Resources to configure ingress behavior.

Before you begin

Setup Istio by following the instructions in the Installation guide.
Start the httpbin sample, which will be used as the destination service to be exposed externally.

Configuring ingress (HTTP)

Create the Ingress Resource for the httpbin service

cat <<EOF | kubectl create -f -
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: istio-ingress
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: istio
spec:
  rules:
  - http:
      paths:
      - path: /headers
        backend:
          serviceName: httpbin
          servicePort: 8000
      - path: /delay/.*
        backend:
          serviceName: httpbin
          servicePort: 8000
EOF

Notice that in this example we are only exposing httpbin's /headers and /delay endpoints.

Determine the ingress URL:

If your cluster is running in an environment that supports external load balancers, use the ingress' external address:

kubectl get ingress -o wide

NAME      HOSTS     ADDRESS                 PORTS     AGE
gateway   *         130.211.10.121          80        1d
export INGRESS_URL=130.211.10.121:80

If load balancers are not supported, use the service NodePort instead:

export INGRESS_URL=$(kubectl get po -l istio=ingress -o jsonpath='{.items[0].status.hostIP}'):$(kubectl get svc istio-ingress -o jsonpath='{.spec.ports[0].nodePort}')

Access the httpbin service using curl:

curl http://$INGRESS_URL/headers

{
  "headers": {
    "Accept": "*/*", 
    "Content-Length": "0", 
    "Host": "httpbin.default.svc.cluster.local:8000", 
    "User-Agent": "curl/7.35.0", 
    "X-Envoy-Expected-Rq-Timeout-Ms": "15000", 
    "X-Request-Id": "59cf4fce-72e0-4470-ade5-f59149705944"
  }
}

Configuring secure ingress (HTTPS)

Generate keys if necessary

A private key and certificate can be created for testing using OpenSSL.

openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /tmp/tls.key -out /tmp/tls.crt -subj "/CN=foo.bar.com"

Create the secret using kubectl

kubectl create secret tls ingress-secret --key /tmp/tls.key --cert /tmp/tls.crt

Create the Ingress Resource for the httpbin service

cat <<EOF | kubectl create -f -
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: secured-ingress
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: istio
spec:
  tls:
    - secretName: ingress-secret
  rules:
  - http:
      paths:
      - path: /html
        backend:
          serviceName: httpbin
          servicePort: 8000
EOF

Notice that in this example we are only exposing httpbin's /html endpoint.

Remark: Envoy currently only allows a single TLS secret in the ingress since SNI is not yet supported.

Access the secured httpbin service using curl:

curl -k https://$INGRESS_URL/html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
...

Setting Istio rules on an edge service

Similar to inter-cluster requests, Istio routing rules can also be set for edge services that are called from outside the cluster. To illustrate we will use istioctl to set a timeout rule on calls to the httpbin service.

Invoke the httpbin /delay endpoint you exposed previously:
```
time curl http://$INGRESS_URL/delay/5
```
```
...
real    0m5.024s
user    0m0.003s
sys     0m0.003s
```
The request should return in approximately 5 seconds.

Use istioctl to set a 3s timeout on calls to the httpbin service

cat <<EOF | istioctl create
type: route-rule
name: httpbin-3s-rule
spec:
  destination: httpbin.default.svc.cluster.local
  http_req_timeout:
    simple_timeout:
      timeout: 3s
EOF

Note that you may need to change default namespace to the namespace of httpbin application.

Wait a few seconds, then issue the curl request again:
```
time curl http://$INGRESS_URL/delay/5
```
```
...
real    0m3.022s
user    0m0.004s
sys     0m0.003s
```
This time the response appears after 3 seconds. Although httpbin was waiting 5 seconds, Istio cut off the request at 3 seconds.

Understanding ingress

In the preceding steps we created a service inside the Istio network mesh and exposed it to external traffic through ingresses.
