IngressGateway

Deprecation

The functionality provided by the IngressGateway is now provided in Gateway object, and using it is the recommended approach. The IngressGateway resource will be removed in future releases.

IngressGateway configures a workload to act as a gateway for traffic entering the mesh. The ingress gateway also provides basic API gateway functionalities such as JWT token validation and request authorization. Gateways in privileged workspaces can route to services outside the workspace while those in unprivileged workspaces can only route to services inside the workspace.

The following example declares an ingress gateway running on pods with app: gateway labels in the ns1 namespace. The gateway exposes a host bookinfo.com on https port 9443 and http port 9090. The port 9090 is configured to receive plaintext traffic and send a redirect to the https port 9443 (site-wide HTTP -> HTTPS redirection). At port 9443, TLS is terminated using the certificates in the Kubernetes secret bookinfo-certs. Clients are authenticated using JWT tokens, whose keys are obtained from the OIDC provider www.googleapis.com. The request is then authorized by an the user's authorization engine hosted at https://company.com/authz before being forwarded to the productpage service in the backend.

In the following example, the clients are authenticated using an external OIDC provider using AUTHORIZATION_CODE grant type. Once the client request is authenticated, it gets forwarded to the productpage service in the backend. The access_token generated after client authentication is set as Bearer in request headers. The state of authentication is stored in cookies.

If the productpage.ns1 service on Kubernetes has a ServiceRoute with multiple subsets and weights, the traffic will be split across the subsets accordingly.

The following example illustrates defining non-HTTP servers (based on TCP) with TLS termination. Here, kafka.myorg.internal uses non-HTTP protocol and listens on port 9000. The clients have to connect with TLS with the SNI kafka.myorg.internal. The TLS is terminated at the gateway and the traffic is routed to kafka.infra.svc.cluster.local:8000.

If subsets are defined in the ServiceRoute referencing kafka.infra.svc.cluster.local service, then it is also considered while routing.

Application Firewall rules to traffic passing through the gateway.

Field	Description	Validation Rule
workloadSelector	tetrateio.api.tsb.types.v2.WorkloadSelector REQUIRED Specify the gateway workloads (pod labels and Kubernetes namespace) under the gateway group that should be configured with this gateway. There can be only one gateway for a workload selector in a namespace.	message = {   required: true }
http	List of tetrateio.api.tsb.gateway.v2.HttpServer One or more HTTP or HTTPS servers exposed by the gateway. The server exposes configuration for TLS termination, request authentication/authorization, HTTP routing, etc.	–
tlsPassthrough	List of tetrateio.api.tsb.gateway.v2.TLSPassthroughServer One or more TLS servers exposed by the gateway. The server does not terminate TLS and exposes config for SNI based routing.	–
tcp	List of tetrateio.api.tsb.gateway.v2.TCPServer One or more non-HTTP and non-passthrough servers which use TCP based protocols. This server also exposes configuration for terminating TLS	–
extension	List of tetrateio.api.tsb.types.v2.WasmExtensionAttachment Extensions specifies all the WasmExtensions assigned to this IngressGateway with the specific configuration for each extension. This custom configuration will override the one configured globally to the extension. Each extension has a global configuration including enablement and priority that will condition the execution of the assigned extensions.	–
waf	tetrateio.api.tsb.security.v2.WAFSettings WAF settings to be enabled for traffic passing through the HttpServer.	–
configGenerationMetadata	tetrateio.api.tsb.types.v2.ConfigGenerationMetadata Metadata values that will be add into the Istio generated configurations. When using YAML APIs like tctl or gitops, put them into the metadata.labels or metadata.annotations instead. This field is only necessary when using gRPC APIs directly.	–

Route

One or more destinations in a local/remote cluster for the given request.

Field	Description	Validation Rule
host	string REQUIRED The destination service in \<namespace\>/\<fqdn\> format for IngressGateway resources. For Tier1Gateway resources, the destination must be in \<clusterName\>/\<namespace\>/\<fqdn\> format, where cluster name corresponds to a cluster name created in the management plane. The fqdn must be the fully qualified name of the destination service in a cluster.	string = {   min_len: 1 }
port	uint32 The port on the service to forward the request to. Omit only if the destination service has only one port. When used for routing from Tier1 gateways, the port specified here will be used only if the Tier1 gateway is doing TLS passthrough.	–

TCPServer

A TCP server exposed in an ingress gateway. A TCP server may be used for any TCP based protocol. This is also used for the special case of a non-HTTP protocol requiring TLS termination at the gateway

Field	Description	Validation Rule
name	string REQUIRED A name assigned to the server. The name will be visible in the generated metrics. The name must be unique across all HTTP, TLS passthrough and TCP servers in a gateway.	string = {   min_len: 1 }
port	uint32 REQUIRED The port where the server is exposed. Two servers with different protocols can share the same port only when both of them use TLS (either terminated at the gateway or pass-through)	uint32 = {   not_in: 0,15443 }
hostname	string REQUIRED Hostname to identify the service. When TLS is configured, clients have to use this as the Server Name Indication (SNI) for the TLS connection. When TLS is not configured (opaque TCP), this is used to identify the service traffic for defining routing configs. Usually, this is configured as the DNS name of the service. For instance, if clients access a zookeeper cluster as zk-1.myorg.internal then the hostname could be specified as zk-1.myorg.internal. This also helps easier identification in the configs. This is also used in multicluster routing. In the previous example, clients within the mesh can also use zk-1.myorg.internal to access this service (provided authorization policy allows it)	string = {   min_len: 1 }
tls	tetrateio.api.tsb.gateway.v2.ServerTLSSettings TLS certificate info to terminate the TLS connection	–
route	tetrateio.api.tsb.gateway.v2.Route Forward the connection to the specified destination.	–

TLSPassthroughServer

A TLS server exposed in an ingress gateway. For TLS servers the gateways don't terminate connections and use SNI based routing.

Field	Description	Validation Rule
name	string REQUIRED A name assigned to the server. The name will be visible in the generated metrics. The name must be unique across all HTTP, TCP and TLS servers in a gateway.	string = {   min_len: 1 }
port	uint32 REQUIRED The port where the server is exposed. Two servers with different protocols (HTTP and HTTPS) should not share the same port. Note that port 15443 is reserved for internal use.	uint32 = {   not_in: 0,15443 }
hostname	string REQUIRED Hostname with which the service can be expected to be accessed by clients. Routing will be done based on SNI matches for this hostname. NOTE: The hostname must be unique across all gateways in the cluster in order for multicluster routing to work.	string = {   min_len: 1 }
route	tetrateio.api.tsb.gateway.v2.Route REQUIRED Forward the connection to the specified destination.	message = {   required: true }
