Using Kong on Utho Kubernetes Cluster with Utho Load Balancer

Prerequisites

  • Utho Kubernetes Cluster
  • Access to Utho's UI, CLI, or API
  • Kubernetes CLI (kubectl) installed and configured

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Deploy Kong Ingress Controller

To deploy the Kong Ingress Controller, execute the following command:

kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kong/kubernetes-ingress-controller/v2.12.3/deploy/single/all-in-one-dbless.yaml

2. Verify the Deployment

Check the services created by Kong in the kong namespace:

kubectl get services -n kong

You should see an output similar to:

NAME                       TYPE        CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)                      AGE
kong-proxy                 NodePort    10.96.20.238     <none>        80:30576/TCP,443:31849/TCP   5m

3. Note the NodePort

From the above output, identify the NodePort above 30000. For example, if you see 80:30576/TCP,443:31849/TCP, then 30576 is the NodePort for HTTP traffic.

4. Deploy Utho Load Balancer

You can deploy a Load Balancer from Utho using the UI.

Using Utho UI

  1. Navigate to the Load Balancer section in Utho's UI.
  2. Create a new Load Balancer.
  3. Attach the worker node or node pool as the backend.
  4. Set the target port to the identified NodePort (e.g., 30576).

We are updating this document with CLI and API examples for faster deployment.

5. Access the Service

After deploying the load balancer and attaching the backend nodes, you can access your service using the Load Balancer's IP address:

http://<loadbalancer-ip-address>

This IP address will route the traffic to the Kong Ingress Controller, enabling you to manage your Kubernetes services effectively.
