I have multiple pods, that scale up and down automatically.
I am using an ingress as entry point. I need to route external traffic to a specific pod base on some conditions (lets say path). At the point the request is made I am sure the specific pod is up.
For example lets say I have domain someTest.com, that normally routes traffic to pod 1, 2 and 3 (lets say I identify them by internal ips - 192.168.1.10, 192.168.1.11 and 192.168.1.13).
When I call someTest.com/specialRequest/12, I need to route the traffic to 192.168.1.12, when I call someTest.com/specialRequest/13, I want to route traffic to 192.168.1.13. For normal cases (someTest.com/normalRequest) I just want to do the lb do his epic job normally.
If pods scale up and 192.168.1.14 appears, I need to be able to call someTest.com/specialRequest/14 and be routed to the mentioned pod.
Is there anyway I can achieve this?
Yes, you can easily achieve this using Kubernetes Ingress. Here is a sample code that might help:
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: app-ingress
spec:
rules:
- host: YourHostName.com
http:
paths:
- path: /
backend:
serviceName: Service1
servicePort: 8000
- path: /api
backend:
serviceName: Service2
servicePort: 8080
- path: /admin
backend:
serviceName: Service3
servicePort: 80
Please not that the ingress rules have serviceNames and not pod names, so you will have to create services for your pods. Here is an example for a service which exposes nginx as a service in Kubernetes:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: nginx-service
labels:
io.kompose.service: nginx
spec:
ports:
- name: "80"
port: 80
targetPort: 80
selector:
io.kompose.service: nginx
I am not aware of built-in functionality to implement this (if this is what your really want). You can achieve this by building your ownoperator for Kubernetes. Your operator may provision a Pod+Ingress combo which will do exactly what you want - forward your traffic to a single pod, or you can provision 2 pods and 1 ingress to achive HA setup.
Depending on the Ingress you are using, it also may be possible to group multiple ingress resources under the same load balancer.
would it be feasible to create another application that can get the path and target the pod directly via a pattern in the naming convention? for example
${podnamePrefix+param}.${service name}.${namespace}.svc.cluster.local
