- A fully functional AKS cluster. Please follow Azure's Guide to setup an AKS cluster.
- Basic understanding of Kubernetes
- A working
kubectl
linked to the AKS Kubernetes cluster we will work on. The above AKS setup guide will help you set this up.
Deploy Kong Ingress Controller using kubectl
:
$ kubectl create -f https://bit.ly/k4k8s
namespace/kong created
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/kongplugins.configuration.konghq.com created
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/kongconsumers.configuration.konghq.com created
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/kongcredentials.configuration.konghq.com created
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/kongingresses.configuration.konghq.com created
serviceaccount/kong-serviceaccount created
clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/kong-ingress-clusterrole created
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/kong-ingress-clusterrole-nisa-binding created
configmap/kong-server-blocks created
service/kong-proxy created
service/kong-validation-webhook created
deployment.extensions/kong created
It will take a few minutes for all containers to start and report healthy status.
Alternatively, you can use our helm chart as well. Please ensure that you've Tiller working and then execute:
$ helm repo add kong https://charts.konghq.com
$ helm repo update
# Helm 2
$ helm install kong/kong
# Helm 3
$ helm install kong/kong --generate-name --set ingressController.installCRDs=false
Note: this process could take up to five minutes the first time.
Next, we will setup an environment variable with the IP address at which Kong is accesssible. This will be used to actually send reqeusts into the Kubernetes cluster.
Execute the following command to get the IP address at which Kong is accessible:
$ kubectl get services -n kong
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
kong-proxy LoadBalancer 10.63.250.199 203.0.113.42 80:31929/TCP,443:31408/TCP 57d
Let's setup an environment variable to hold the IP address:
$ export PROXY_IP=$(kubectl get -o jsonpath="{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip}" service -n kong kong-proxy)
Note: It may take a while for Google to actually associate the IP address to the
kong-proxy
Service.
Once you've installed Kong Ingress Controller, please follow our getting started tutorial to learn about how to use the Ingress Controller.
