How do I proxy to a downstream Kubernetes service? #1907
-
|
Using Ocelot I can specify that my downstream route is a Kubernetes service. I can provice the service name and namepace in my route configuration. Note, this requires adding some K8s specific middleware to Ocelot. How can I achieve this with YARP? I do not see any examples. |

@mschaefer-gresham what exactly do you expect from the Kubernetes service? Anything special beyond just referencing the service? |

We currently have an api gateway microservice that forwards requests to our downstream services inside the k8s cluster (using Ocelot). You can read about it here. It would be nice to have comparable functionality in YARP. |

You should be able to rely on k8s's DNS to resolve the service names for you. "destination1": {
"Address": "http://my-service/"
} |

@adityamandaleeka I have a followup question. Since the post talks about comparable functionality to Ocelot. The Ocelot middelware specified will not only discover the addresses of the named kubernetes services (ex. my-service). But it will also automatically load balance between them if multiple instances are found. Can Yarp do something similar in this scenario? Since in the code sample above, you configure the kubernetes service name in the address property of the destination. But to do load balancing in yarp you need to specify multiple destinations in a cluster... |

@Joren-Thijs-KasparSolutions can you please file a new question? This is not directly related to the original one. The original one is marked answered, and we do not monitor answered questions anymore. Thanks! |
