Addon: Ambassador

Ambassador API Gateway enables you to easily expose, secure, and manage traffic to your Kubernetes microservices of any type. Enable this add on with:

microk8s enable ambassador

You can now expose a Service by creating an Ingress . Note that Ambassador will only serve Ingress resources that include the annotation kubernetes.io/ingress.class: ambassador (otherwise they are just ignored).

For example:

cat<<EOF | microk8s.kubectl apply -f -
---
kind: Pod
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: foo-app
  labels:
    app: foo
spec:
  containers:
  - name: foo-app
    image: hashicorp/http-echo:0.2.3
    args:
    - "-text=foo"
---
kind: Service
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: foo-service
spec:
  selector:
    app: foo
  ports:
  # Default port used by the image
  - port: 5678
---
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: example-ingress
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: ambassador
spec:
  rules:
  - http:
      paths:
      - path: /foo
        backend:
          serviceName: foo-service
          servicePort: 5678
EOF

Now verify that the ingress works:

# should output "foo"
curl localhost/foo
