TL;DR

Create an HTTPRoute or Ingress resource, which will then be converted into a Kong Gateway Service and Route.

Prerequisites

If you don’t have a Konnect account, you can get started quickly with our onboarding wizard.

  1. The following Konnect items are required to complete this tutorial:
    • Personal access token (PAT): Create a new personal access token by opening the Konnect PAT page and selecting Generate Token.
  2. Set the personal access token as an environment variable:

    export KONNECT_TOKEN='YOUR KONNECT TOKEN'

Create an HTTPRoute

To route HTTP traffic, you need to create an HTTPRoute or an Ingress resource pointing at your Kubernetes Service:

Validate your configuration

Once the resource has been reconciled, you’ll be able to call the /echo endpoint and Kong Gateway will route the request to the echo service:

 curl "$PROXY_IP/echo"

Cleanup

kubectl delete -n kong -f https://developer.konghq.com/manifests/kic/echo-service.yaml
