How to use kube-proxy to forward https serivce in k8s?

Question

众所周知，kube-proxy用于代理可以通过apiserver从外部网络访问的服务，kube-proxy是否支持k8s或任何其他解决方案中的代理https服务，以便我们可以通过apiserver访问它？

Answer 1

You need to expose your https pods via a service of type Nodeport, then you can access the https via the defined port on any node in the cluster (master or worker) because kube-proxy will forward the requests to your pods that are part of the service. NodePorts can be in the range of 30000-32767 by default.

Example configuration for an https service and deployment with nginx:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  annotations:
    service.alpha.kubernetes.io/tolerate-unready-endpoints: "true"
  name: nginx
  labels:
    app: nginx
spec:
  type: NodePort
  ports:
  - port: 443
    name: nginx
    targetPort: 443
    nodePort: 32756
  selector:
    app: nginx
---
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: nginxdeployment
spec:
  replicas: 1
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: nginx
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: nginx
        image: nginx:latest
        imagePullPolicy: Always
        ports:
        - containerPort: 443

kube-proxy iptables模式适用于IP层（网络层），它不在乎数据包是http还是https 。
