  2. Configuring Istio Gateway on Kubernetes

How do I configure a Kubernetes networking.istio.io gateway?

In this guide, we will configure an Istio Gateway on a Kubernetes cluster using Pulumi. The Istio Gateway resource allows you to manage traffic entering your mesh. We will define a Gateway resource to expose a service outside of the mesh.

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes";

// Define the namespace for Istio resources
const istioNamespace = new k8s.core.v1.Namespace("istio-system", {
    metadata: {
        name: "istio-system",
    },
});

// Define the Gateway resource
const istioGateway = new k8s.apiextensions.CustomResource("istio-gateway", {
    apiVersion: "networking.istio.io/v1alpha3",
    kind: "Gateway",
    metadata: {
        namespace: istioNamespace.metadata.name,
        name: "my-istio-gateway",
    },
    spec: {
        selector: {
            istio: "ingressgateway", // use istio ingress gateway
        },
        servers: [
            {
                port: {
                    number: 80,
                    name: "http",
                    protocol: "HTTP",
                },
                hosts: ["*"],
            },
        ],
    },
});

export const gatewayName = istioGateway.metadata.name;
export const gatewayNamespace = istioGateway.metadata.namespace;

Key Points:

  • We created a new namespace istio-system for Istio resources.
  • We defined an Istio Gateway resource to handle incoming HTTP traffic on port 80.
  • The selector specifies the Istio ingress gateway to use.
  • The servers section defines the ports and protocols for the gateway.

Summary:

In this guide, we configured an Istio Gateway on a Kubernetes cluster using Pulumi. The gateway is set up to handle HTTP traffic on port 80 and is associated with the Istio ingress gateway. This setup allows external traffic to enter the mesh through the specified gateway.
