# Kubernetes Ingress Controller
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
This guide explains how to use Traefik as an Ingress controller for a Kubernetes cluster.
2017-09-11 17:10:04 +00:00
If you are not familiar with Ingresses in Kubernetes you might want to read the [Kubernetes user guide](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/ingress/)
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
The config files used in this guide can be found in the [examples directory](https://github.com/containous/traefik/tree/master/examples/k8s)
## Prerequisites
1. A working Kubernetes cluster. If you want to follow along with this guide, you should setup [minikube](https://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/minikube/) on your machine, as it is the quickest way to get a local Kubernetes cluster setup for experimentation and development.
!!! note
The guide is likely not fully adequate for a production-ready setup.
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
2. The `kubectl` binary should be [installed on your workstation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/minikube/#download-kubectl).
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
### Role Based Access Control configuration (Kubernetes 1.6+ only)
2018-07-25 15:58:02 +00:00
Kubernetes introduces [Role Based Access Control (RBAC)](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/rbac/) in 1.6+ to allow fine-grained control of Kubernetes resources and API.
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
If your cluster is configured with RBAC, you will need to authorize Traefik to use the Kubernetes API. There are two ways to set up the proper permission: Via namespace-specific RoleBindings or a single, global ClusterRoleBinding.
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
RoleBindings per namespace enable to restrict granted permissions to the very namespaces only that Traefik is watching over, thereby following the least-privileges principle. This is the preferred approach if Traefik is not supposed to watch all namespaces, and the set of namespaces does not change dynamically. Otherwise, a single ClusterRoleBinding must be employed.
!!! note
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
RoleBindings per namespace are available in Traefik 1.5 and later. Please use ClusterRoleBindings for older versions.
For the sake of simplicity, this guide will use a ClusterRoleBinding:
```yaml
---
kind: ClusterRole
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1
metadata:
name: traefik-ingress-controller
rules:
- apiGroups:
- ""
resources:
- services
- endpoints
- secrets
verbs:
- get
- list
- watch
- apiGroups:
- extensions
resources:
- ingresses
verbs:
- get
- list
- watch
---
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1
metadata:
name: traefik-ingress-controller
roleRef:
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
kind: ClusterRole
name: traefik-ingress-controller
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
name: traefik-ingress-controller
namespace: kube-system
```
[examples/k8s/traefik-rbac.yaml](https://github.com/containous/traefik/tree/master/examples/k8s/traefik-rbac.yaml)
```shell
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/containous/traefik/master/examples/k8s/traefik-rbac.yaml
```
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
For namespaced restrictions, one RoleBinding is required per watched namespace along with a corresponding configuration of Traefik's `kubernetes.namespaces` parameter.
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
## Deploy Traefik using a Deployment or DaemonSet
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
It is possible to use Traefik with a [Deployment](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/deployment/) or a [DaemonSet](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/controllers/daemonset/) object,
whereas both options have their own pros and cons:
2018-05-25 15:26:05 +00:00
- The scalability can be much better when using a Deployment, because you will have a Single-Pod-per-Node model when using a DaemonSet, whereas you may need less replicas based on your environment when using a Deployment.
- DaemonSets automatically scale to new nodes, when the nodes join the cluster, whereas Deployment pods are only scheduled on new nodes if required.
- DaemonSets ensure that only one replica of pods run on any single node. Deployments require affinity settings if you want to ensure that two pods don't end up on the same node.
- DaemonSets can be run with the `NET_BIND_SERVICE` capability, which will allow it to bind to port 80/443/etc on each host. This will allow bypassing the kube-proxy, and reduce traffic hops. Note that this is against the Kubernetes Best Practices [Guidelines](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/overview/#services), and raises the potential for scheduling/scaling issues. Despite potential issues, this remains the choice for most ingress controllers.
- If you are unsure which to choose, start with the Daemonset.
The Deployment objects looks like this:
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
```yaml
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
name: traefik-ingress-controller

```
[examples/k8s/traefik-deployment.yaml](https://github.com/containous/traefik/tree/master/examples/k8s/traefik-deployment.yaml)
2017-09-11 17:10:04 +00:00
!!! note
The Service will expose two NodePorts which allow access to the ingress and the web interface.
The DaemonSet objects looks not much different:
```yaml
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
name: traefik-ingress-controller
namespace: kube-system
---
kind: DaemonSet
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1

- protocol: TCP
port: 8080
name: admin
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
```
[examples/k8s/traefik-ds.yaml](https://github.com/containous/traefik/tree/master/examples/k8s/traefik-ds.yaml)
2018-05-25 15:26:05 +00:00
!!! note
This will create a Daemonset that uses privileged ports 80/8080 on the host. This may not work on all providers, but illustrates the static (non-NodePort) hostPort binding. The `traefik-ingress-service` can still be used inside the cluster to access the DaemonSet pods.
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
To deploy Traefik to your cluster start by submitting one of the YAML files to the cluster with `kubectl`:
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
```shell
2017-09-11 17:10:04 +00:00
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/containous/traefik/master/examples/k8s/traefik-deployment.yaml
```
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
```shell
2017-09-11 17:10:04 +00:00
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/containous/traefik/master/examples/k8s/traefik-ds.yaml
```
2017-09-11 17:10:04 +00:00
There are some significant differences between using Deployments and DaemonSets:
2017-09-11 17:10:04 +00:00
- The Deployment has easier up and down scaling possibilities.
It can implement full pod lifecycle and supports rolling updates from Kubernetes 1.2.
At least one Pod is needed to run the Deployment.
- The DaemonSet automatically scales to all nodes that meets a specific selector and guarantees to fill nodes one at a time.
Rolling updates are fully supported from Kubernetes 1.7 for DaemonSets as well.
### Check the Pods
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
Now lets check if our command was successful.
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
Start by listing the pods in the `kube-system` namespace:
```shell
2017-09-11 17:10:04 +00:00
kubectl --namespace=kube-system get pods
```
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
```shell
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
kube-addon-manager-minikubevm 1/1 Running 0 4h
kubernetes-dashboard-s8krj 1/1 Running 0 4h
traefik-ingress-controller-678226159-eqseo 1/1 Running 0 7m
```
You should see that after submitting the Deployment or DaemonSet to Kubernetes it has launched a Pod, and it is now running.
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
_It might take a few moments for Kubernetes to pull the Traefik image and start the container._
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
2017-09-11 17:10:04 +00:00
!!! note
You could also check the deployment with the Kubernetes dashboard, run
`minikube dashboard` to open it in your browser, then choose the `kube-system`
namespace from the menu at the top right of the screen.
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
You should now be able to access Traefik on port 80 of your Minikube instance when using the DaemonSet:
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
```shell
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
curl $(minikube ip)
2017-09-11 17:10:04 +00:00
```
```shell
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
404 page not found
```
If you decided to use the deployment, then you need to target the correct NodePort, which can be seen when you execute `kubectl get services --namespace=kube-system`.
```shell
curl $(minikube ip):<NODEPORT>
2017-09-11 17:10:04 +00:00
```
```shell
404 page not found
```
2017-09-11 17:10:04 +00:00
!!! note
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
We expect to see a 404 response here as we haven't yet given Traefik any configuration.
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
All further examples below assume a DaemonSet installation. Deployment users will need to append the NodePort when constructing requests.
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
## Deploy Traefik using Helm Chart
2017-03-31 07:57:06 +00:00
!!! note
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
The Helm Chart is maintained by the community, not the Traefik project maintainers.
2017-09-11 17:10:04 +00:00
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
Instead of installing Traefik via Kubernetes object directly, you can also use the Traefik Helm chart.
2017-03-31 07:57:06 +00:00
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
Install the Traefik chart by:
2017-03-31 07:57:06 +00:00
```shell
2017-09-11 17:10:04 +00:00
helm install stable/traefik
2017-03-31 07:57:06 +00:00
```
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
Install the Traefik chart using a values.yaml file.
2017-03-31 07:57:06 +00:00
2018-05-30 15:38:04 +00:00
```shell
helm install --values values.yaml stable/traefik
```
```yaml
dashboard:
enabled: true
domain: traefik-ui.minikube
kubernetes:
namespaces:
- default
- kube-system
```
For more information, check out [the documentation](https://github.com/kubernetes/charts/tree/master/stable/traefik).
2017-03-31 07:57:06 +00:00
## Submitting an Ingress to the Cluster
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
Lets start by creating a Service and an Ingress that will expose the [Traefik Web UI](https://github.com/containous/traefik#web-ui).
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: traefik-web-ui
namespace: kube-system
spec:
selector:
k8s-app: traefik-ingress-lb
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
ports:
- name: web
port: 80
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
targetPort: 8080
---
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: traefik-web-ui
namespace: kube-system
spec:
rules:
- host: traefik-ui.minikube
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
http:
paths:
- path: /
backend:
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
serviceName: traefik-web-ui
servicePort: web
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
```
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
[examples/k8s/ui.yaml](https://github.com/containous/traefik/tree/master/examples/k8s/ui.yaml)
2017-04-30 18:17:57 +00:00
```shell
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/containous/traefik/master/examples/k8s/ui.yaml
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
```
Now lets setup an entry in our `/etc/hosts` file to route `traefik-ui.minikube` to our cluster.
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
In production you would want to set up real DNS entries.
You can get the IP address of your minikube instance by running `minikube ip`:
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
2017-04-30 18:17:57 +00:00
```shell
echo "$(minikube ip) traefik-ui.minikube" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
```
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
We should now be able to visit [traefik-ui.minikube](http://traefik-ui.minikube) in the browser and view the Traefik web UI.
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
### Add a TLS Certificate to the Ingress
!!! note
For this example to work you need a TLS entrypoint. You don't have to provide a TLS certificate at this point.
For more details see [here](/configuration/entrypoints/).
2018-11-19 15:40:03 +00:00
You can add a TLS entrypoint by adding the following `args` to the container spec:
```yaml
--defaultentrypoints=http,https
--entrypoints=Name:https Address::443 TLS
--entrypoints=Name:http Address::80
```
To setup an HTTPS-protected ingress, you can leverage the TLS feature of the ingress resource.
```yaml
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: traefik-web-ui
namespace: kube-system
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: traefik
spec:
rules:
- host: traefik-ui.minikube
http:
paths:
- backend:
serviceName: traefik-web-ui
servicePort: 80
tls:
2018-04-03 08:30:03 +00:00
- secretName: traefik-ui-tls-cert
```
In addition to the modified ingress you need to provide the TLS certificate via a Kubernetes secret in the same namespace as the ingress.
The following two commands will generate a new certificate and create a secret containing the key and cert files.
```shell
openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout tls.key -out tls.crt -subj "/CN=traefik-ui.minikube"
kubectl -n kube-system create secret tls traefik-ui-tls-cert --key=tls.key --cert=tls.crt
```
If there are any errors while loading the TLS section of an ingress, the whole ingress will be skipped.
!!! note
The secret must have two entries named `tls.key`and `tls.crt`.
See the [Kubernetes documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/ingress/#tls) for more details.
!!! note
The TLS certificates will be added to all entrypoints defined by the ingress annotation `traefik.frontend.entryPoints`.
If no such annotation is provided, the TLS certificates will be added to all TLS-enabled `defaultEntryPoints`.
!!! note
The field `hosts` in the TLS configuration is ignored. Instead, the domains provided by the certificate are used for this purpose.
It is recommended to not use wildcard certificates as they will match globally.
## Basic Authentication
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
It's possible to protect access to Traefik through basic authentication. (See the [Kubernetes Ingress](/configuration/backends/kubernetes) configuration page for syntactical details and restrictions.)
### Creating the Secret
2018-04-11 08:34:04 +00:00
A. Use `htpasswd` to create a file containing the username and the MD5-encoded password:
```shell
htpasswd -c ./auth myusername
```
You will be prompted for a password which you will have to enter twice.
`htpasswd` will create a file with the following:
```shell
cat auth
```
```shell
myusername:$apr1$78Jyn/1K$ERHKVRPPlzAX8eBtLuvRZ0
```
B. Now use `kubectl` to create a secret in the `monitoring` namespace using the file created by `htpasswd`.
```shell
kubectl create secret generic mysecret --from-file auth --namespace=monitoring
```
!!! note
Secret must be in same namespace as the Ingress object.
C. Attach the following annotations to the Ingress object:
2018-07-31 15:58:04 +00:00
- `traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-type: "basic"`
- `traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-secret: "mysecret"`
They specify basic authentication and reference the Secret `mysecret` containing the credentials.
Following is a full Ingress example based on Prometheus:
```yaml
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: prometheus-dashboard
namespace: monitoring
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: traefik
2018-07-31 15:58:04 +00:00
traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-type: "basic"
traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-secret: "mysecret"
spec:
rules:
- host: dashboard.prometheus.example.com
http:
paths:
- backend:
serviceName: prometheus
servicePort: 9090
```
You can apply the example as following:
```shell
kubectl create -f prometheus-ingress.yaml -n monitoring
```
## Name-based Routing
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
In this example we are going to setup websites for three of the United Kingdoms best loved cheeses: Cheddar, Stilton, and Wensleydale.
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
First lets start by launching the pods for the cheese websites.
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
```yaml
---
kind: Deployment
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
metadata:
name: stilton
labels:
app: cheese
cheese: stilton
spec:

```
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
[examples/k8s/cheese-deployments.yaml](https://github.com/containous/traefik/tree/master/examples/k8s/cheese-deployments.yaml)
2017-04-30 18:17:57 +00:00
```shell
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/containous/traefik/master/examples/k8s/cheese-deployments.yaml
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
```
Next we need to setup a Service for each of the cheese pods.
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
```yaml
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: stilton
spec:
ports:
- name: http
targetPort: 80
port: 80
selector:
app: cheese
task: stilton
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: cheddar
spec:
ports:
- name: http
targetPort: 80
port: 80
selector:
app: cheese
task: cheddar
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: wensleydale
annotations:
traefik.backend.circuitbreaker: "NetworkErrorRatio() > 0.5"
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
spec:
ports:

## Path-based Routing
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
Now lets suppose that our fictional client has decided that while they are super happy about our cheesy web design, when they asked for 3 websites they had not really bargained on having to buy 3 domain names.
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
No problem, we say, why don't we reconfigure the sites to host all 3 under one domain.
```yaml
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: cheeses
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: traefik
traefik.frontend.rule.type: PathPrefixStrip
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
spec:
rules:
- host: cheeses.minikube
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
http:
paths:
- path: /stilton
backend:
serviceName: stilton
servicePort: http
- path: /cheddar
backend:
serviceName: cheddar
servicePort: http
- path: /wensleydale
backend:
serviceName: wensleydale
servicePort: http
```
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00

2017-09-11 17:10:04 +00:00
!!! note
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
We are configuring Traefik to strip the prefix from the url path with the `traefik.frontend.rule.type` annotation so that we can use the containers from the previous example without modification.
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
2017-04-30 18:17:57 +00:00
```shell
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/containous/traefik/master/examples/k8s/cheeses-ingress.yaml
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
```
2017-04-30 18:17:57 +00:00
```shell
echo "$(minikube ip) cheeses.minikube" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
2016-05-06 10:34:30 +00:00
```
You should now be able to visit the websites in your browser.
- [cheeses.minikube/stilton](http://cheeses.minikube/stilton/)
- [cheeses.minikube/cheddar](http://cheeses.minikube/cheddar/)

## Multiple Ingress Definitions for the Same Host (or Host+Path)
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
Traefik will merge multiple Ingress definitions for the same host/path pair into one definition.
Let's say the number of cheese services is growing.
It is now time to move the cheese services to a dedicated cheese namespace to simplify the managements of cheese and non-cheese services.
Simply deploy a new Ingress Object with the same host an path into the cheese namespace:
```yaml
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: cheese
namespace: cheese
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: traefik
traefik.frontend.rule.type: PathPrefixStrip
spec:
rules:
- host: cheese.minikube
http:
paths:
- path: /cheddar
backend:
serviceName: cheddar
servicePort: http
```
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
Traefik will now look for cheddar service endpoints (ports on healthy pods) in both the cheese and the default namespace.
Deploying cheddar into the cheese namespace and afterwards shutting down cheddar in the default namespace is enough to migrate the traffic.
!!! note
The kubernetes documentation does not specify this merging behavior.
!!! note
Merging ingress definitions can cause problems if the annotations differ or if the services handle requests differently.
Be careful and extra cautious when running multiple overlapping ingress definitions.
## Specifying Routing Priorities
Sometimes you need to specify priority for ingress routes, especially when handling wildcard routes.
This can be done by adding the `traefik.frontend.priority` annotation, i.e.:
```yaml
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: wildcard-cheeses
annotations:
traefik.frontend.priority: "1"
spec:
rules:
- host: *.minikube
http:
paths:
- path: /
backend:
serviceName: stilton
servicePort: http
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: specific-cheeses
annotations:
traefik.frontend.priority: "2"
spec:
rules:
- host: specific.minikube
http:
paths:
- path: /
backend:
serviceName: stilton
servicePort: http
```
Note that priority values must be quoted to avoid numeric interpretation (which are illegal for annotations).
## Forwarding to ExternalNames
When specifying an [ExternalName](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#services-without-selectors),
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
Traefik will forward requests to the given host accordingly and use HTTPS when the Service port matches 443.
This still requires setting up a proper port mapping on the Service from the Ingress port to the (external) Service port.
## Disable passing the Host Header
2017-05-02 13:08:18 +00:00
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
By default Traefik will pass the incoming Host header to the upstream resource.
2017-09-11 17:10:04 +00:00
However, there are times when you may not want this to be the case. For example, if your service is of the ExternalName type.
### Disable globally
2017-05-02 13:08:18 +00:00
Add the following to your TOML configuration file:
2017-09-11 17:10:04 +00:00
```toml
disablePassHostHeaders = true
```
### Disable per Ingress
2017-05-02 13:08:18 +00:00
To disable passing the Host header per ingress resource set the `traefik.frontend.passHostHeader` annotation on your ingress to `"false"`.
Here is an example definition:
2017-09-11 17:10:04 +00:00
```yaml
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: example
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: traefik
traefik.frontend.passHostHeader: "false"
spec:
rules:
- host: example.com
http:
paths:
- path: /static
backend:
serviceName: static
servicePort: https
```
And an example service definition:
2017-09-11 17:10:04 +00:00
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: static
spec:
ports:
- name: https
port: 443
type: ExternalName
externalName: static.otherdomain.com
```
If you were to visit `example.com/static` the request would then be passed on to `static.otherdomain.com/static`, and `static.otherdomain.com` would receive the request with the Host header being `static.otherdomain.com`.
2017-08-28 12:33:07 +00:00
!!! note
The per-ingress annotation overrides whatever the global value is set to.
So you could set `disablePassHostHeaders` to `true` in your TOML configuration file and then enable passing the host header per ingress if you wanted.
## Partitioning the Ingress object space
2017-04-30 18:17:57 +00:00
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
By default, Traefik processes every Ingress objects it observes. At times, however, it may be desirable to ignore certain objects. The following sub-sections describe common use cases and how they can be handled with Traefik.
2017-09-11 17:10:04 +00:00
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
### Between Traefik and other Ingress controller implementations
2017-04-30 18:17:57 +00:00
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
Sometimes Traefik runs along other Ingress controller implementations. One such example is when both Traefik and a cloud provider Ingress controller are active.
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
The `kubernetes.io/ingress.class` annotation can be attached to any Ingress object in order to control whether Traefik should handle it.
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
If the annotation is missing, contains an empty value, or the value `traefik`, then the Traefik controller will take responsibility and process the associated Ingress object.
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
It is also possible to set the `ingressClass` option in Traefik to a particular value. Traefik will only process matching Ingress objects.
For instance, setting the option to `traefik-internal` causes Traefik to process Ingress objects with the same `kubernetes.io/ingress.class` annotation value, ignoring all other objects (including those with a `traefik` value, empty value, and missing annotation).
!!! note
Letting multiple ingress controllers handle the same ingress objects can lead to unintended behavior.
It is recommended to prefix all ingressClass values with `traefik` to avoid unintended collisions with other ingress implementations.
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
### Between multiple Traefik Deployments
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
Sometimes multiple Traefik Deployments are supposed to run concurrently.
For instance, it is conceivable to have one Deployment deal with internal and another one with external traffic.
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
For such cases, it is advisable to classify Ingress objects through a label and configure the `labelSelector` option per each Traefik Deployment accordingly.
To stick with the internal/external example above, all Ingress objects meant for internal traffic could receive a `traffic-type: internal` label while objects designated for external traffic receive a `traffic-type: external` label.
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
The label selectors on the Traefik Deployments would then be `traffic-type=internal` and `traffic-type=external`, respectively.
2017-04-30 18:17:57 +00:00
## Traffic Splitting
It is possible to split Ingress traffic in a fine-grained manner between multiple deployments using _service weights_.
One canonical use case is canary releases where a deployment representing a newer release is to receive an initially small but ever-increasing fraction of the requests over time.
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
The way this can be done in Traefik is to specify a percentage of requests that should go into each deployment.
For instance, say that an application `my-app` runs in version 1.
A newer version 2 is about to be released, but confidence in the robustness and reliability of new version running in production can only be gained gradually.
Thus, a new deployment `my-app-canary` is created and scaled to a replica count that suffices for a 1% traffic share.
Along with it, a Service object is created as usual.
The Ingress specification would look like this:
```yaml
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
annotations:
traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/service-weights: |
my-app: 99%
my-app-canary: 1%
name: my-app
spec:
rules:
- http:
paths:
- backend:
serviceName: my-app
servicePort: 80
path: /
- backend:
serviceName: my-app-canary
servicePort: 80
path: /
```
Take note of the `traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/service-weights` annotation: It specifies the distribution of requests among the referenced backend services, `my-app` and `my-app-canary`.
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
With this definition, Traefik will route 99% of the requests to the pods backed by the `my-app` deployment, and 1% to those backed by `my-app-canary`.
Over time, the ratio may slowly shift towards the canary deployment until it is deemed to replace the previous main application, in steps such as 5%/95%, 10%/90%, 50%/50%, and finally 100%/0%.
A few conditions must hold for service weights to be applied correctly:
- The associated service backends must share the same path and host.
- The total percentage shared across all service backends must yield 100% (see the section on [omitting the final service](#omitting-the-final-service), however).
- The percentage values are interpreted as floating point numbers to a supported precision as defined in the [annotation documentation](/configuration/backends/kubernetes#general-annotations).
### Omitting the Final Service
When specifying service weights, it is possible to omit exactly one service for convenience reasons.
For instance, the following definition shows how to split requests in a scenario where a canary release is accompanied by a baseline deployment for easier metrics comparison or automated canary analysis:
```yaml
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
annotations:
traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/service-weights: |
my-app-canary: 10%
my-app-baseline: 10%
name: app
spec:
rules:
- http:
paths:
- backend:
serviceName: my-app-canary
servicePort: 80
path: /
- backend:
serviceName: my-app-baseline
servicePort: 80
path: /
- backend:
serviceName: my-app-main
servicePort: 80
path: /
```
This configuration assigns 80% of traffic to `my-app-main` automatically, thus freeing the user from having to complete percentage values manually.
This becomes handy when increasing shares for canary releases continuously.
## Production advice
### Resource limitations
The examples shown deliberately do not specify any [resource limitations](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/manage-compute-resources-container/) as there is no one size fits all.
In a production environment, however, it is important to set proper bounds, especially with regards to CPU:
2018-10-17 14:24:04 +00:00
- too strict and Traefik will be throttled while serving requests (as Kubernetes imposes hard quotas)
- too loose and Traefik may waste resources not available for other containers
When in doubt, you should measure your resource needs, and adjust requests and limits accordingly.
