  • ☸️ Kubernetes NGINX Ingress Controller: 10+ Complementary Configurations for Web Applications
    4 projects | dev.to | 16 Oct 2023
    Everything in the YAML snippets below — except for ingress configuration — relates to configuring the NGINX ingress controller. This includes customizing the default configuration.
  • Breaking Terraform files into composable layers
    2 projects | dev.to | 14 Sep 2023
    In these examples, I assume that users have deployed an nginx-ingress-controller to their cluster through the eks layer. This controller is responsible for creating an nlb and exposing Elasticsearch and Kibana to the internet through their ingresses.
  • Implementing TLS in Kubernetes
    13 projects | dev.to | 1 Aug 2023
    Now, you need to install the Nginx Ingress Controller so that it can redirect incoming requests to your payment app to use HTTPS. Since you've exposed the app using nodePort, you need to install the Ingress using a custom value file that specifies the service type to NodePort.
  • Kubernetes cannot upload files larger than 1MB
    1 project | /r/codehunter | 2 Jul 2023
    Kubernetes We have a kubernetes cluster which has a dropwizard based web application running as a service. This application has a rest uri to upload files. It cannot upload files larger than 1MB. I get the following error: ERROR [2017-07-27 13:32:47,629] io.dropwizard.jersey.errors.LoggingExceptionMapper: Error handling a request: ea812501b414f0d9! com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonParseException: Unexpected character ('<' (code 60)): expected a valid value (number, String, array, object, 'true', 'false' or 'null')! at [Source: ! 413 Request Entity Too Large! ! 413 Request Entity Too Large! nginx/1.11.3! ! Hide resultsI have tried the suggestions given in https://github.com/nginxinc/kubernetes-ingress/issues/21. I have edited the Ingress to set the proxy-body-size annotation. Also, I have tried using the configMap without any success. we are using kubernetes version 1.5. Please let me know if you need additional information.

    So far, i've been following the example here to set up an nginx Ingress Controller and some test services behind it. However, I am unable to follow Step 6 which displays the external IP for the node that the load balancer is running on as my node does not have an ExternalIP in the addresses section, only a LegacyHostIP and InternalIP.

    Also, of personal note, I highly recommend you use the "ingress-nginx" controller which has a huge community and is of much higher quality and flexibility than the "nginx-ingress controller by nginx inc". I've had a lot of success with dozens of clients with this controller. It rocks!

    > I suspect if a Service Mesh is ultimately shown to have broad value, one will make it's way into the K8S core

    I'm not so sure. I suspect it'll follow the same roadmap as Gateway API, which it already kind of is with the Service Mesh Interface (https://smi-spec.io/)

  • Service Mesh Considerations
    7 projects | dev.to | 14 Dec 2022
    It is very common that a service mesh deploys a control plane and a data plane. The control plane does what you might expect; it controls the service mesh and gives you the ability to interact with it. Many service meshes implement the Service Mesh Interface (SMI) which is an API specification to standardize the way cluster operators interact with and implement features.
  • Kubernetes: Cross-cluster traffic scheduling - Access control
    2 projects | dev.to | 11 Dec 2022
    Before we start, let's review the SMI Access Control Specification. There are two forms of traffic policies in osm-edge: Permissive Mode and Traffic Policy Mode. The former allows services in the mesh to access each other, while the latter requires the provision of the appropriate traffic policy to be accessible.

  • Kubernetes State Of The Union — KubeCon 2019, San Diego
    3 projects | /r/kubernetes | 21 Mar 2022
    I started on Monday, attending ServiceMeshCon2019. My guesstimate is that about 1000 people attended it. I believe Service Mesh is playing such a crucial role in scaling cloud native technologies that large scale cloud-native deployments may not be possible without service mesh. Just like you cannot really succeed in deploying a microservices based application without a microservices orchestration engine, like Kubernetes, you cannot scale the size and capacity of a microservices-based application without service mesh. That’s what makes it so compelling to see all the service mesh creators — Istio, Linkerd, Consul, Kuma — and listen to them. There was also a lot of discussion of SMI (Service Mesh Interface) — a common interface among all services mesh. The panel at the end of the day included all the major service mesh players, and some very thought provoking questions were asked and answered by the panel.
