Create a Route
Note:
Gateway
andControlPlane
controllers are stillalpha
so be sure to use the installation steps from this guide in order to get yourGateway
up and running.
After you’ve installed all of the required components and configured a GatewayClass
you can route some traffic to a service in your Kubernetes cluster.
Configure the echo service
-
In order to route a request using Kong Gateway we need a service running in our cluster. Install an
echo
service using the following command:kubectl apply -f https://docs.konghq.com/assets/kubernetes-ingress-controller/examples/echo-service.yaml
-
Create a
HTTPRoute
to send any requests that start with/echo
to the echo service.echo ' kind: HTTPRoute apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1beta1 metadata: name: echo spec: parentRefs: - group: gateway.networking.k8s.io kind: Gateway name: kong rules: - matches: - path: type: PathPrefix value: /echo backendRefs: - name: echo port: 1027 ' | kubectl apply -f -
The results should look like this:
httproute.gateway.networking.k8s.io/echo created
Test the configuration
-
To test the configuration, make a call to the
$PROXY_IP
that you configured.curl $PROXY_IP/echo
-
You should see the following:
Welcome, you are connected to node king. Running on Pod echo-965f7cf84-rm7wq. In namespace default. With IP address 192.168.194.10.
Congratulations! You just configured Kong Gateway Operator, Kong Ingress Controller and Kong Gateway using open standards.
Next steps
Now that you have a running DataPlane
configured using Gateway API resources, you can explore the power that Kong Gateway provides:
- Configuring Kong Gateway plugins using Kong Ingress Controller
- Upgrading Kong Gateway Operator managed data planes
