Ingress2gateway helps translate Ingress resources to Gateway API resources, specifically HTTPRoutes. Ingress2gateway is managed by the Gateway API SIG-Network subproject.
Ingress2gateway is primarily focused on translating Ingress and provider-specific resources(CRDs) to Gateway API resources. Widely used provider-specific annotations and/or CRDs may still not be supported. Please refer to supported providers for the current supported providers and their documentation. Contributions for provider-specific annotations and/or CRDs support are mostly welcomed as long as they can be translated to Gateway API directly.
Note: Ingress2gateway is not intended to copy annotations from Ingress to Gateway API.
- Ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
- Install Git: Make sure Git is installed on your system to clone the project repository.
- Install Go: Make sure the go language is installed on your system. You can download it from the official website (https://golang.org/dl/) and follow the installation instructions.
- Clone the project repository
git clone https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/ingress2gateway.git && cd ingress2gateway- Build the project
make buildIngress2gateway reads Ingress resources and/or provider-specifc CRDs from a Kubernetes cluster or a file. It will output the equivalent Gateway API resources in a YAML/JSON format to stdout. To run ingress2gateway with default options simply run:
ingress2gateway print
This above command will:
- Read your Kube config file to extract the cluster credentials and the current active namespace.
- Search for ingresses and provider-specific resources in that namespace.
- Convert them to Gateway-API resources (Currently only Gateways and HTTPRoutes).
| Flag | Default Value | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| namespace | No | If present, the namespace scope for the invocation | |
| all-namespaces | False | No | If present, list the requested object(s) across all namespaces. Namespace in the current context is ignored even if specified with --namespace |
| output | yaml | No | The output format, either yaml or json |
| input_file | No | Path to the manifest file. When set, the tool will read ingresses from the file instead of reading from the cluster. Supported files are yaml and json |
Ingress resources will be processed with a defined order to ensure deterministic generated Gateway API configuration. This should also determine precedence order of Ingress resources and routes in case of conflicts.
Ingress resources with the oldest creation timestamp will be sorted first and therefore given precedence. If creation timestamps are equal, then sorting will be done based on the namespace/name of the resources. If an Ingress rule conflicts with another (e.g. same path match but different backends) an error will be reported for the one that sorted later.
Since the Ingress v1 spec does not itself have a conflict resolution guide, we have adopted this one. These rules are similar to the Gateway API conflict resolution guidelines.
Given a set of Ingress resources, ingress2gateway will generate a Gateway with various HTTP and HTTPS Listeners as well as HTTPRoutes that should represent equivalent routing rules.
| Ingress Field | Gateway API configuration |
|---|---|
ingressClassName |
If configured on an Ingress resource, this value will be used as the gatewayClassName set on the corresponding generated Gateway. kubernetes.io/ingress.class annotation has the same behavior. |
defaultBackend |
If present, this configuration will generate a Gateway Listener with no hostname specified as well as a catchall HTTPRoute that references this listener. The backend specified here will be translated to a HTTPRoute rules[].backendRefs[] element. |
tls[].hosts |
Each host in an IngressTLS will result in a HTTPS Listener on the generated Gateway with the following: listeners[].hostname = host as described, listeners[].port = 443, listeners[].protocol = HTTPS, listeners[].tls.mode = Terminate |
tls[].secretName |
The secret specified here will be referenced in the Gateway HTTPS Listeners mentioned above with the field listeners[].tls.certificateRefs. Each Listener for each host in an IngressTLS will get this secret. |
rules[].host |
If non-empty, each distinct value for this field in the provided Ingress resources will result in a separate Gateway HTTP Listener with matching listeners[].hostname. listeners[].port will be set to 80 and listeners[].protocol set to HTTPS. In addition, Ingress rules with the same hostname will generate HTTPRoute rules in a HTTPRoute with hostnames containing it as the single element. If empty, similar to the defaultBackend, a Gateway Listener with no hostname configuration will be generated (if it doesn't exist) and routing rules will be generated in a catchall HTTPRoute. |
rules[].http.paths[].path |
This field translates to a HTTPRoute rules[].matches[].path.value configuration. |
rules[].http.paths[].pathType |
This field translates to a HTTPRoute rules[].matches[].path.type configuration. Ingress Exact = HTTPRoute Exact match. Ingress Prefix = HTTPRoute PathPrefix match. |
rules[].http.paths[].backend |
The backend specified here will be translated to a HTTPRoute rules[].backendRefs[] element. |
Ingress2gateway also supports translating provider-specific resources and ingress annotations to Gateway-API resources.
If your provider, or a specific feature, is not currently supported, please open an issue and describe your use case.
To contribute a new provider support - please read PROVIDER.md.
This project will be discussed in the same Slack channel and community meetings as the rest of the Gateway API subproject. For more information, refer to the Gateway API Community page.
