Container Service for Kubernetes:Access Services by using an ALB Ingress

最終更新日:Jan 26, 2024

Application Load Balancer (ALB) Ingresses support HTTP, HTTPS, and QUIC and meet the requirement of cloud-native applications for high elasticity and Layer 7 traffic management on a large scale. ALB Ingresses are also compatible with NGINX Ingresses. In addition, ALB Ingresses support complex routes and automatic TLS certificate management to allow you to flexibly manage traffic. You can configure Ingress rules to access different Services in a cluster through different URLs.

Prerequisites

Usage notes

  • If you use the Flannel network plug-in, the backend Services of the ALB Ingress gateway must be of the NodePort or LoadBalancer type.

  • The names of AlbConfig objects, namespaces, Ingresses, and Services cannot start with aliyun.

  • Earlier NGINX Ingress controller versions cannot recognize the spec : ingressClassName field in the Ingress resource. If an earlier NGINX Ingress controller version is installed and both NGINX Ingresses and ALB Ingresses are used in your ACK cluster, the ALB Ingresses may be reconciled by the NGINX Ingress controller. To avoid this problem, update the NGINX Ingress controller at the earliest opportunity or use annotations to specify the IngressClasses of ALB Ingresses. For more information, see Update the NGINX Ingress controller or Advanced ALB Ingress configurations.

Step 1: Create an AlbConfig object

  1. Create a file named alb-test.yaml and copy the following content to the file. The file is used to create an AlbConfig Object.

    apiVersion: alibabacloud.com/v1
    kind: AlbConfig
    metadata:
      name: alb-demo
    spec:
      config:
        name: alb-test
        addressType: Internet
        zoneMappings:
        - vSwitchId: vsw-uf6ccg2a9g71hx8go****
        - vSwitchId: vsw-uf6nun9tql5t8nh15****
      listeners:
        - port: 80
          protocol: HTTP

    Parameter

    Description

    spec.config.name

    The name of the ALB instance. This parameter is optional.

    spec.config.addressType

    The type of IP address that the ALB instance uses to provide services. This parameter is required. Valid values:

    • Internet: The ALB instance uses a public IP address. The domain name of the Ingress is resolved to the public IP address of the ALB instance. Therefore, the ALB instance is accessible over the Internet. This is the default value.

    • Intranet: The ALB instance uses a private IP address. The domain name of the Ingress is resolved to the private IP address. Therefore, the ALB instance is accessible only within the VPC where the ALB instance is deployed.

    spec.config.zoneMappings

    The IDs of the vSwitches that are used by the ALB Ingress. You must specify at least two vSwitch IDs. The vSwitches must be deployed in different zones and in the VPC where the cluster resides. The zones of the vSwitches must be supported by ALB Ingresses. This parameter is required. For more information about the regions and zones that are supported by ALB Ingresses, see Supported regions and zones.

  2. Run the following command to create an AlbConfig:

    kubectl apply -f alb-test.yaml

    Expected output:

    albconfig.alibabacloud.com/alb-demo created
  3. Create a file named alb.yaml and copy the following content to the file:

    Clusters that run Kubernetes 1.19 or later

    apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
    kind: IngressClass
    metadata:
      name: alb
    spec:
      controller: ingress.k8s.alibabacloud/alb
      parameters:
        apiGroup: alibabacloud.com
        kind: AlbConfig
        name: alb-demo

    Clusters that run Kubernetes versions earlier than V1.19

    apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1
    kind: IngressClass
    metadata:
      name: alb
    spec:
      controller: ingress.k8s.alibabacloud/alb
      parameters:
        apiGroup: alibabacloud.com
        kind: AlbConfig
        name: alb-demo
  4. Run the following command to create an IngressClass:

      kubectl apply -f alb.yaml

    Expected output:

    ingressclass.networking.k8s.io/alb created

Step 2: Deploy Services

  1. Create a cafe-service.yaml file and copy the following content to the file. The file is used to deploy two Deployments named coffee and tea and two Services named coffee and tea.

    Expected output:

    deployment "coffee" created
    service "coffee-svc" created
    deployment "tea" created
    service "tea-svc" created
  3. Query the status of the Deployments and Services.

    1. Run the following command to query the deployment progress of the application:

      kubectl get deploy

      Expected output:

      NAME                             READY   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
      coffee                           1/2     2            1           2m26s
      tea                              1/1     1            1           2m26s
    2. Run the following command to query the status of Services:

      kubectl get svc

      Expected output:

      NAME                          TYPE           CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP           PORT(S)                 AGE
      coffee-svc                    NodePort       172.16.XX.XX     <none>                80:32056/TCP            9m38s
      tea-svc                       NodePort       172.16.XX.XX     <none>                80:31696/TCP            9m38s

Step 3: Configure an ALB Ingress

  1. Create a file named cafe-ingress.yaml and copy the following content to the file:

    Clusters that run Kubernetes 1.19 or later

    apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
    kind: Ingress
    metadata:
      name: cafe-ingress 
    spec:
      ingressClassName: alb
      rules:
       - host: demo.domain.ingress.top
         http:
          paths:
          # Configure a context path.
          - path: /tea
            pathType: ImplementationSpecific
            backend:
              service:
                name: tea-svc
                port:
                  number: 80
          # Configure a context path.
          - path: /coffee
            pathType: ImplementationSpecific
            backend:
              service:
                name: coffee-svc
                port: 
                  number: 80

    Clusters that run Kubernetes versions earlier than V1.19

    apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1
    kind: Ingress
    metadata:
      name: cafe-ingress
    spec:
      ingressClassName: alb
      rules:
       - host: demo.domain.ingress.top
         http:
          paths:
          # Configure a context path. 
          - path: /tea
            backend:
              serviceName: tea-svc
              servicePort: 80
          # Configure a context path. 
          - path: /coffee
            backend:
              serviceName: coffee-svc
              servicePort: 80
  2. Run the following command to configure an externally-accessible domain name and a path for the coffee and tea Services separately:

    kubectl apply -f cafe-ingress.yaml

    Expected output:

    ingress.networking.k8s.io/cafe-ingress created
  3. Run the following command to query the domain name of the Ingress used to expose the ALB instance:

    kubectl get ing

    Expected output:

    NAME           CLASS    HOSTS                         ADDRESS                                               PORTS   AGE
    cafe-ingress   alb      demo.domain.ingress.top       alb-m551oo2zn63yov****.cn-hangzhou.alb.aliyuncs.com   80      50s

Step 4: Access the Services

  • After you obtain the address of the ALB instance, use the CLI to access the coffee Service:

    curl -H Host:demo.domain.ingress.top http://alb-lhwdm5c9h8lrcm****.cn-hangzhou.alb.aliyuncs.com/coffee
  • After you obtain the address of the ALB instance, use the CLI to access the tea Service:

    curl -H Host:demo.domain.ingress.top http://alb-lhwdm5c9h8lrcm****.cn-hangzhou.alb.aliyuncs.com/tea
