Routing Configuration
Custom Resource Definition (CRD)
- You can find an exhaustive list, of the custom resources and their attributes in
the reference page or in the Kubernetes
Sigs
Gateway APIrepository. - Validate that the prerequisites are fulfilled before using the Traefik Kubernetes Gateway Provider.
You can find an excerpt of the supported Kubernetes Gateway API resources in the table below:
| Kind | Purpose | Concept Behind |
|---|---|---|
| GatewayClass | Defines a set of Gateways that share a common configuration and behaviour | GatewayClass |
| Gateway | Describes how traffic can be translated to Services within the cluster | Gateway |
| HTTPRoute | HTTP rules for mapping requests from a Gateway to Kubernetes Services | Route |
| TCPRoute | Allows mapping TCP requests from a Gateway to Kubernetes Services | Route |
| TLSRoute | Allows mapping TLS requests from a Gateway to Kubernetes Services | Route |
Kind: GatewayClass
GatewayClass is cluster-scoped resource defined by the infrastructure provider. This resource represents a class of
Gateways that can be instantiated. More details on the
GatewayClass official documentation.
The GatewayClass should be declared by the infrastructure provider, otherwise please register the GatewayClass
definition in the Kubernetes cluster before
creating GatewayClass objects.
!!! info "Declaring GatewayClass"
```yaml
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2
kind: GatewayClass
metadata:
name: my-gateway-class
spec:
# Controller is a domain/path string that indicates
# the controller that is managing Gateways of this class.
controllerName: traefik.io/gateway-controller
```
Kind: Gateway
A Gateway is 1:1 with the life cycle of the configuration of infrastructure. When a user creates a Gateway, some load
balancing infrastructure is provisioned or configured by the GatewayClass controller. More details on the
Gateway official documentation.
Register the Gateway definition in the
Kubernetes cluster before creating Gateway objects.
Depending on the Listener Protocol, different modes and Route types are supported.
| Listener Protocol | TLS Mode | Route Type Supported |
|---|---|---|
| TCP | Not applicable | TCPRoute |
| TLS | Passthrough | TLSRoute, TCPRoute |
| TLS | Terminate | TLSRoute, TCPRoute |
| HTTP | Not applicable | HTTPRoute |
| HTTPS | Terminate | HTTPRoute |
