Chapter 5. Networking Operators 5.1. Kubernetes NMState Operator The Kubernetes NMState Operator provides a Kubernetes API for performing state-driven network configuration across the OpenShift Container Platform cluster's nodes with NMState. The Kubernetes NMState Operator provides users with functionality to configure various network interface types, DNS, and routing on cluster nodes. Additionally, the daemons on the cluster nodes periodically report on the state of each node's network interfaces to the API server. Important Red Hat supports the Kubernetes NMState Operator in production environments on bare-metal, IBM Power(R), IBM Z(R), IBM(R) LinuxONE, VMware vSphere, and OpenStack installations. Before you can use NMState with OpenShift Container Platform, you must install the Kubernetes NMState Operator. Note The Kubernetes NMState Operator updates the network configuration of a secondary NIC. The Operator cannot update the network configuration of the primary NIC, or update the br-ex bridge on most on-premise networks. On a bare-metal platform, using the Kubernetes NMState Operator to update the br-ex bridge network configuration is only supported if you set the br-ex bridge as the interface in a machine config manifest file. To update the br-ex bridge as a postinstallation task, you must set the br-ex bridge as the interface in the NMState configuration of the NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicy custom resource (CR) for your cluster. For more information, see Creating a manifest object that includes a customized br-ex bridge in Postinstallation configuration . OpenShift Container Platform uses nmstate to report on and configure the state of the node network. This makes it possible to modify the network policy configuration, such as by creating a Linux bridge on all nodes, by applying a single configuration manifest to the cluster. Node networking is monitored and updated by the following objects: NodeNetworkState Reports the state of the network on that node. NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicy Describes the requested network configuration on nodes. You update the node network configuration, including adding and removing interfaces, by applying a NodeNetworkConfigurationPolicy CR to the cluster. NodeNetworkConfigurationEnactment Reports the network policies enacted upon each node. 5.1.1. Installing the Kubernetes NMState Operator You can install the Kubernetes NMState Operator by using the web console or the CLI. 5.1.1.1. Installing the Kubernetes NMState Operator by using the web console You can install the Kubernetes NMState Operator by using the web console.

Accept the default settings and click Create to create the instance. Summary Once complete, the Operator has deployed the NMState State Controller as a daemon set across all of the cluster nodes. 5.1.1.2. Installing the Kubernetes NMState Operator by using the CLI You can install the Kubernetes NMState Operator by using the OpenShift CLI ( oc) . After it is installed, the Operator can deploy the NMState State Controller as a daemon set across all of the cluster nodes. Prerequisites You have installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You are logged in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Create the nmstate Operator namespace: USD cat << EOF | oc apply -f - apiVersion: v1 kind: Namespace metadata: name: openshift-nmstate spec: finalizers: - kubernetes EOF Create the OperatorGroup : USD cat << EOF | oc apply -f - apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1 kind: OperatorGroup metadata: name: openshift-nmstate namespace: openshift-nmstate spec: targetNamespaces: - openshift-nmstate EOF Subscribe to the nmstate Operator: USD cat << EOF| oc apply -f - apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1 kind: Subscription metadata: name: kubernetes-nmstate-operator namespace: openshift-nmstate spec: channel: stable installPlanApproval: Automatic name: kubernetes-nmstate-operator source: redhat-operators sourceNamespace: openshift-marketplace EOF Confirm the ClusterServiceVersion (CSV) status for the nmstate Operator deployment equals Succeeded : USD oc get clusterserviceversion -n openshift-nmstate \ -o custom-columns=Name:.metadata.name,Phase:.status.phase Example output Name Phase kubernetes-nmstate-operator.4.16.0-202210210157 Succeeded Create an instance of the nmstate Operator: USD cat << EOF | oc apply -f - apiVersion: nmstate.io/v1 kind: NMState metadata: name: nmstate EOF Verify that all pods for the NMState Operator are in a Running state: USD oc get pod -n openshift-nmstate Example output Name Ready Status Restarts Age pod/nmstate-handler-wn55p 1/1 Running 0 77s pod/nmstate-operator-f6bb869b6-v5m92 1/1 Running 0 4m51s ... 5.1.2. Uninstalling the Kubernetes NMState Operator You can use the Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) to uninstall the Kubernetes NMState Operator, but by design OLM does not delete any associated custom resource definitions (CRDs), custom resources (CRs), or API Services. Before you uninstall the Kubernetes NMState Operator from the Subcription resource used by OLM, identify what Kubernetes NMState Operator resources to delete. This identification ensures that you can delete resources without impacting your running cluster. If you need to reinstall the Kubernetes NMState Operator, see "Installing the Kubernetes NMState Operator by using the CLI" or "Installing the Kubernetes NMState Operator by using the web console". Prerequisites You have installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You have installed the jq CLI tool. You are logged in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Unsubscribe the Kubernetes NMState Operator from the Subcription resource by running the following command: USD oc delete --namespace openshift-nmstate subscription kubernetes-nmstate-operator Find the ClusterServiceVersion (CSV) resource that associates with the Kubernetes NMState Operator: USD oc get --namespace openshift-nmstate clusterserviceversion Example output that lists a CSV resource NAME DISPLAY VERSION REPLACES PHASE kubernetes-nmstate-operator.v4.18.0 Kubernetes NMState Operator 4.18.0 Succeeded Delete the CSV resource. After you delete the file, OLM deletes certain resources, such as RBAC , that it created for the Operator. USD oc delete --namespace openshift-nmstate clusterserviceversion kubernetes-nmstate-operator.v4.18.0 Delete the nmstate CR and any associated Deployment resources by running the following commands: USD oc -n openshift-nmstate delete nmstate nmstate USD oc delete --all deployments --namespace=openshift-nmstate After you deleted the nmstate CR, remove the nmstate-console-plugin console plugin name from the console.operator.openshift.io/cluster CR. Store the position of the nmstate-console-plugin entry that exists among the list of enable plugins by running the following command. The following command uses the jq CLI tool to store the index of the entry in an environment variable named INDEX : INDEX=USD(oc get console.operator.openshift.io cluster -o json | jq -r '.spec.plugins | to_entries[] | select(.value == "nmstate-console-plugin") | .key') Remove the nmstate-console-plugin entry from the console.operator.openshift.io/cluster CR by running the following patch command: USD oc patch console.operator.openshift.io cluster --type=json -p "[{\"op\": \"remove\", \"path\": \"/spec/plugins/USDINDEX\"}]" 1 1 INDEX is an auxiliary variable.

AWS Load Balancer Operator in OpenShift Container Platform The AWS Load Balancer Operator deploys and manages the AWS Load Balancer Controller. You can install the AWS Load Balancer Operator from OperatorHub by using OpenShift Container Platform web console or CLI. 5.2.2.1. AWS Load Balancer Operator considerations Review the following limitations before installing and using the AWS Load Balancer Operator: The IP traffic mode only works on AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). The AWS Load Balancer Operator disables the IP traffic mode for the AWS Load Balancer Controller. As a result of disabling the IP traffic mode, the AWS Load Balancer Controller cannot use the pod readiness gate. The AWS Load Balancer Operator adds command-line flags such as --disable-ingress-class-annotation and --disable-ingress-group-name-annotation to the AWS Load Balancer Controller. Therefore, the AWS Load Balancer Operator does not allow using the kubernetes.io/ingress.class and alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/group.name annotations in the Ingress resource. You have configured the AWS Load Balancer Operator so that the SVC type is NodePort (not LoadBalancer or ClusterIP ). 5.2.2.2. AWS Load Balancer Operator The AWS Load Balancer Operator can tag the public subnets if the kubernetes.io/role/elb tag is missing. Also, the AWS Load Balancer Operator detects the following information from the underlying AWS cloud: The ID of the virtual private cloud (VPC) on which the cluster hosting the Operator is deployed in. Public and private subnets of the discovered VPC. The AWS Load Balancer Operator supports the Kubernetes service resource of type LoadBalancer by using Network Load Balancer (NLB) with the instance target type only. Procedure You can deploy the AWS Load Balancer Operator on demand from OperatorHub, by creating a Subscription object by running the following command: USD oc -n aws-load-balancer-operator get sub aws-load-balancer-operator --template='{{.status.installplan.name}}{{"\n"}}' Example output install-zlfbt Check if the status of an install plan is Complete by running the following command: USD oc -n aws-load-balancer-operator get ip <install_plan_name> --template='{{.status.phase}}{{"\n"}}' Example output Complete View the status of the aws-load-balancer-operator-controller-manager deployment by running the following command: USD oc get -n aws-load-balancer-operator deployment/aws-load-balancer-operator-controller-manager Example output NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE aws-load-balancer-operator-controller-manager 1/1 1 1 23h 5.2.2.3. Using the AWS Load Balancer Operator in an AWS VPC cluster extended into an Outpost You can configure the AWS Load Balancer Operator to provision an AWS Application Load Balancer in an AWS VPC cluster extended into an Outpost. AWS Outposts does not support AWS Network Load Balancers. As a result, the AWS Load Balancer Operator cannot provision Network Load Balancers in an Outpost. You can create an AWS Application Load Balancer either in the cloud subnet or in the Outpost subnet. An Application Load Balancer in the cloud can attach to cloud-based compute nodes and an Application Load Balancer in the Outpost can attach to edge compute nodes. You must annotate Ingress resources with the Outpost subnet or the VPC subnet, but not both. Prerequisites You have extended an AWS VPC cluster into an Outpost. You have installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You have installed the AWS Load Balancer Operator and created the AWS Load Balancer Controller. Procedure Configure the Ingress resource to use a specified subnet: Example Ingress resource configuration apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1 kind: Ingress metadata: name: <application_name> annotations: alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/subnets: <subnet_id> 1 spec: ingressClassName: alb rules: - http: paths: - path: / pathType: Exact backend: service: name: <application_name> port: number: 80 1 Specifies the subnet to use. To use the Application Load Balancer in an Outpost, specify the Outpost subnet ID. To use the Application Load Balancer in the cloud, you must specify at least two subnets in different availability zones. 5.2.3. Preparing an AWS STS cluster for the AWS Load Balancer Operator You can install the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Load Balancer Operator on a cluster that uses the Security Token Service (STS). Follow these steps to prepare your cluster before installing the Operator. The AWS Load Balancer Operator relies on the CredentialsRequest object to bootstrap the Operator and the AWS Load Balancer Controller. The AWS Load Balancer Operator waits until the required secrets are created and available. 5.2.3.1. Prerequisites You installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You know the infrastructure ID of your cluster. To show this ID, run the following command in your CLI: USD oc get infrastructure cluster -o=jsonpath="{.status.infrastructureName}" You know the OpenID Connect (OIDC) DNS information for your cluster. To show this information, enter the following command in your CLI: USD oc get authentication.config cluster -o=jsonpath="{.spec.serviceAccountIssuer}" 1 1 An OIDC DNS example is https://rh-oidc.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/28292va7ad7mr9r4he1fb09b14t59t4f . You logged into the AWS Web Console, navigated to IAM Access management Identity providers , and located the OIDC Amazon Resource Name (ARN) information. An OIDC ARN example is arn:aws:iam::777777777777:oidc-provider/<oidc_dns_url> . 5.2.3.2. Creating an IAM role for the AWS Load Balancer Operator An additional Amazon Web Services (AWS) Identity and Access Management (IAM) role is required to successfully install the AWS Load Balancer Operator on a cluster that uses STS. The IAM role is required to interact with subnets and Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). The AWS Load Balancer Operator generates the CredentialsRequest object with the IAM role to bootstrap itself. You can create the IAM role by using the following options: Using the Cloud Credential Operator utility ( ccoctl ) and a predefined CredentialsRequest object. Using the AWS CLI and predefined AWS manifests. Use the AWS CLI if your environment does not support the ccoctl command. 5.2.3.2.1.

Procedure View the logs of the External DNS Operator by running the following command: USD oc logs -n external-dns-operator deployment/external-dns-operator -c external-dns-operator 5.3.2.2.1. External DNS Operator domain name limitations The External DNS Operator uses the TXT registry which adds the prefix for TXT records. This reduces the maximum length of the domain name for TXT records. A DNS record cannot be present without a corresponding TXT record, so the domain name of the DNS record must follow the same limit as the TXT records. For example, a DNS record of <domain_name_from_source> results in a TXT record of external-dns-<record_type>-<domain_name_from_source> . The domain name of the DNS records generated by the External DNS Operator has the following limitations: Record type Number of characters CNAME 44 Wildcard CNAME records on AzureDNS 42 A 48 Wildcard A records on AzureDNS 46 The following error appears in the External DNS Operator logs if the generated domain name exceeds any of the domain name limitations: time="2022-09-02T08:53:57Z" level=error msg="Failure in zone test.example.io. [Id: /hostedzone/Z06988883Q0H0RL6UMXXX]" time="2022-09-02T08:53:57Z" level=error msg="InvalidChangeBatch: [FATAL problem: DomainLabelTooLong (Domain label is too long) encountered with 'external-dns-a-hello-openshift-aaaaaaaaaa-bbbbbbbbbb-ccccccc']\n\tstatus code: 400, request id: e54dfd5a-06c6-47b0-bcb9-a4f7c3a4e0c6" 5.3.3.

MetalLB Operator 5.4.1. About MetalLB and the MetalLB Operator As a cluster administrator, you can add the MetalLB Operator to your cluster so that when a service of type LoadBalancer is added to the cluster, MetalLB can add an external IP address for the service. The external IP address is added to the host network for your cluster. 5.4.1.1. When to use MetalLB Using MetalLB is valuable when you have a bare-metal cluster, or an infrastructure that is like bare metal, and you want fault-tolerant access to an application through an external IP address. You must configure your networking infrastructure to ensure that network traffic for the external IP address is routed from clients to the host network for the cluster. After deploying MetalLB with the MetalLB Operator, when you add a service of type LoadBalancer , MetalLB provides a platform-native load balancer. When external traffic enters your OpenShift Container Platform cluster through a MetalLB LoadBalancer service, the return traffic to the client has the external IP address of the load balancer as the source IP. MetalLB operating in layer2 mode provides support for failover by utilizing a mechanism similar to IP failover. However, instead of relying on the virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP) and keepalived, MetalLB leverages a gossip-based protocol to identify instances of node failure. When a failover is detected, another node assumes the role of the leader node, and a gratuitous ARP message is dispatched to broadcast this change. MetalLB operating in layer3 or border gateway protocol (BGP) mode delegates failure detection to the network. The BGP router or routers that the OpenShift Container Platform nodes have established a connection with will identify any node failure and terminate the routes to that node. Using MetalLB instead of IP failover is preferable for ensuring high availability of pods and services. 5.4.1.2. MetalLB Operator custom resources The MetalLB Operator monitors its own namespace for the following custom resources: MetalLB When you add a MetalLB custom resource to the cluster, the MetalLB Operator deploys MetalLB on the cluster. The Operator only supports a single instance of the custom resource. If the instance is deleted, the Operator removes MetalLB from the cluster. IPAddressPool MetalLB requires one or more pools of IP addresses that it can assign to a service when you add a service of type LoadBalancer . An IPAddressPool includes a list of IP addresses. The list can be a single IP address that is set using a range, such as 1.1.1.1-1.1.1.1, a range specified in CIDR notation, a range specified as a starting and ending address separated by a hyphen, or a combination of the three. An IPAddressPool requires a name. The documentation uses names like doc-example , doc-example-reserved , and doc-example-ipv6 . The MetalLB controller assigns IP addresses from a pool of addresses in an IPAddressPool . L2Advertisement and BGPAdvertisement custom resources enable the advertisement of a given IP from a given pool. You can assign IP addresses from an IPAddressPool to services and namespaces by using the spec.serviceAllocation specification in the IPAddressPool custom resource. Note A single IPAddressPool can be referenced by a L2 advertisement and a BGP advertisement. BGPPeer The BGP peer custom resource identifies the BGP router for MetalLB to communicate with, the AS number of the router, the AS number for MetalLB, and customizations for route advertisement. MetalLB advertises the routes for service load-balancer IP addresses to one or more BGP peers. BFDProfile The BFD profile custom resource configures Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for a BGP peer. BFD provides faster path failure detection than BGP alone provides. L2Advertisement The L2Advertisement custom resource advertises an IP coming from an IPAddressPool using the L2 protocol. BGPAdvertisement The BGPAdvertisement custom resource advertises an IP coming from an IPAddressPool using the BGP protocol. After you add the MetalLB custom resource to the cluster and the Operator deploys MetalLB, the controller and speaker MetalLB software components begin running. MetalLB validates all relevant custom resources. 5.4.1.3. MetalLB software components When you install the MetalLB Operator, the metallb-operator-controller-manager deployment starts a pod. The pod is the implementation of the Operator. The pod monitors for changes to all the relevant resources. When the Operator starts an instance of MetalLB, it starts a controller deployment and a speaker daemon set. Note You can configure deployment specifications in the MetalLB custom resource to manage how controller and speaker pods deploy and run in your cluster. For more information about these deployment specifications, see the Additional resources section. controller The Operator starts the deployment and a single pod. When you add a service of type LoadBalancer , Kubernetes uses the controller to allocate an IP address from an address pool. In case of a service failure, verify you have the following entry in your controller pod logs: Example output "event":"ipAllocated","ip":"172.22.0.201","msg":"IP address assigned by controller speaker The Operator starts a daemon set for speaker pods. By default, a pod is started on each node in your cluster. You can limit the pods to specific nodes by specifying a node selector in the MetalLB custom resource when you start MetalLB. If the controller allocated the IP address to the service and service is still unavailable, read the speaker pod logs. If the speaker pod is unavailable, run the oc describe pod -n command. For layer 2 mode, after the controller allocates an IP address for the service, the speaker pods use an algorithm to determine which speaker pod on which node will announce the load balancer IP address. The algorithm involves hashing the node name and the load balancer IP address. For more information, see "MetalLB and external traffic policy". The speaker uses Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to announce IPv4 addresses and Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) to announce IPv6 addresses. For Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) mode, after the controller allocates an IP address for the service, each speaker pod advertises the load balancer IP address with its BGP peers. You can configure which nodes start BGP sessions with BGP peers. Requests for the load balancer IP address are routed to the node with the speaker that announces the IP address. After the node receives the packets, the service proxy routes the packets to an endpoint for the service. The endpoint can be on the same node in the optimal case, or it can be on another node. The service proxy chooses an endpoint each time a connection is established. 5.4.1.4. MetalLB and external traffic policy With layer 2 mode, one node in your cluster receives all the traffic for the service IP address. With BGP mode, a router on the host network opens a connection to one of the nodes in the cluster for a new client connection. How your cluster handles the traffic after it enters the node is affected by the external traffic policy. cluster This is the default value for spec.externalTrafficPolicy . With the cluster traffic policy, after the node receives the traffic, the service proxy distributes the traffic to all the pods in your service. This policy provides uniform traffic distribution across the pods, but it obscures the client IP address and it can appear to the application in your pods that the traffic originates from the node rather than the client. local With the local traffic policy, after the node receives the traffic, the service proxy only sends traffic to the pods on the same node. For example, if the speaker pod on node A announces the external service IP, then all traffic is sent to node A. After the traffic enters node A, the service proxy only sends traffic to pods for the service that are also on node A. Pods for the service that are on additional nodes do not receive any traffic from node A. Pods for the service on additional nodes act as replicas in case failover is needed. This policy does not affect the client IP address. Application pods can determine the client IP address from the incoming connections. Note The following information is important when configuring the external traffic policy in BGP mode. Although MetalLB advertises the load balancer IP address from all the eligible nodes, the number of nodes loadbalancing the service can be limited by the capacity of the router to establish equal-cost multipath (ECMP) routes. If the number of nodes advertising the IP is greater than the ECMP group limit of the router, the router will use less nodes than the ones advertising the IP. For example, if the external traffic policy is set to local and the router has an ECMP group limit set to 16 and the pods implementing a LoadBalancer service are deployed on 30 nodes, this would result in pods deployed on 14 nodes not receiving any traffic. In this situation, it would be preferable to set the external traffic policy for the service to cluster . 5.4.1.5. MetalLB concepts for layer 2 mode In layer 2 mode, the speaker pod on one node announces the external IP address for a service to the host network. From a network perspective, the node appears to have multiple IP addresses assigned to a network interface. Note In layer 2 mode, MetalLB relies on ARP and NDP. These protocols implement local address resolution within a specific subnet. In this context, the client must be able to reach the VIP assigned by MetalLB that exists on the same subnet as the nodes announcing the service in order for MetalLB to work. The speaker pod responds to ARP requests for IPv4 services and NDP requests for IPv6. In layer 2 mode, all traffic for a service IP address is routed through one node. After traffic enters the node, the service proxy for the CNI network provider distributes the traffic to all the pods for the service. Because all traffic for a service enters through a single node in layer 2 mode, in a strict sense, MetalLB does not implement a load balancer for layer 2. Rather, MetalLB implements a failover mechanism for layer 2 so that when a speaker pod becomes unavailable, a speaker pod on a different node can announce the service IP address. When a node becomes unavailable, failover is automatic. The speaker pods on the other nodes detect that a node is unavailable and a new speaker pod and node take ownership of the service IP address from the failed node. The preceding graphic shows the following concepts related to MetalLB: An application is available through a service that has a cluster IP on the 172.130.0.0/16 subnet. That IP address is accessible from inside the cluster. The service also has an external IP address that MetalLB assigned to the service, 192.168.100.200 . Nodes 1 and 3 have a pod for the application. The speaker daemon set runs a pod on each node. The MetalLB Operator starts these pods. Each speaker pod is a host-networked pod. The IP address for the pod is identical to the IP address for the node on the host network. The speaker pod on node 1 uses ARP to announce the external IP address for the service, 192.168.100.200 . The speaker pod that announces the external IP address must be on the same node as an endpoint for the service and the endpoint must be in the Ready condition. Client traffic is routed to the host network and connects to the 192.168.100.200 IP address. After traffic enters the node, the service proxy sends the traffic to the application pod on the same node or another node according to the external traffic policy that you set for the service. If the external traffic policy for the service is set to cluster , the node that advertises the 192.168.100.200 load balancer IP address is selected from the nodes where a speaker pod is running. Only that node can receive traffic for the service. If the external traffic policy for the service is set to local , the node that advertises the 192.168.100.200 load balancer IP address is selected from the nodes where a speaker pod is running and at least an endpoint of the service. Only that node can receive traffic for the service. In the preceding graphic, either node 1 or 3 would advertise 192.168.100.200 . If node 1 becomes unavailable, the external IP address fails over to another node. On another node that has an instance of the application pod and service endpoint, the speaker pod begins to announce the external IP address, 192.168.100.200 and the new node receives the client traffic. In the diagram, the only candidate is node 3. 5.4.1.6. MetalLB concepts for BGP mode In BGP mode, by default each speaker pod advertises the load balancer IP address for a service to each BGP peer. It is also possible to advertise the IPs coming from a given pool to a specific set of peers by adding an optional list of BGP peers. BGP peers are commonly network routers that are configured to use the BGP protocol. When a router receives traffic for the load balancer IP address, the router picks one of the nodes with a speaker pod that advertised the IP address. The router sends the traffic to that node. After traffic enters the node, the service proxy for the CNI network plugin distributes the traffic to all the pods for the service. The directly-connected router on the same layer 2 network segment as the cluster nodes can be configured as a BGP peer. If the directly-connected router is not configured as a BGP peer, you need to configure your network so that packets for load balancer IP addresses are routed between the BGP peers and the cluster nodes that run the speaker pods. Each time a router receives new traffic for the load balancer IP address, it creates a new connection to a node. Each router manufacturer has an implementation-specific algorithm for choosing which node to initiate the connection with. However, the algorithms commonly are designed to distribute traffic across the available nodes for the purpose of balancing the network load. If a node becomes unavailable, the router initiates a new connection with another node that has a speaker pod that advertises the load balancer IP address. Figure 5.1. MetalLB topology diagram for BGP mode The preceding graphic shows the following concepts related to MetalLB: An application is available through a service that has an IPv4 cluster IP on the 172.130.0.0/16 subnet. That IP address is accessible from inside the cluster. The service also has an external IP address that MetalLB assigned to the service, 203.0.113.200 . Nodes 2 and 3 have a pod for the application. The speaker daemon set runs a pod on each node. The MetalLB Operator starts these pods. You can configure MetalLB to specify which nodes run the speaker pods. Each speaker pod is a host-networked pod. The IP address for the pod is identical to the IP address for the node on the host network. Each speaker pod starts a BGP session with all BGP peers and advertises the load balancer IP addresses or aggregated routes to the BGP peers. The speaker pods advertise that they are part of Autonomous System 65010. The diagram shows a router, R1, as a BGP peer within the same Autonomous System. However, you can configure MetalLB to start BGP sessions with peers that belong to other Autonomous Systems. All the nodes with a speaker pod that advertises the load balancer IP address can receive traffic for the service. If the external traffic policy for the service is set to cluster , all the nodes where a speaker pod is running advertise the 203.0.113.200 load balancer IP address and all the nodes with a speaker pod can receive traffic for the service. The host prefix is advertised to the router peer only if the external traffic policy is set to cluster. If the external traffic policy for the service is set to local , then all the nodes where a speaker pod is running and at least an endpoint of the service is running can advertise the 203.0.113.200 load balancer IP address. Only those nodes can receive traffic for the service. In the preceding graphic, nodes 2 and 3 would advertise 203.0.113.200 . You can configure MetalLB to control which speaker pods start BGP sessions with specific BGP peers by specifying a node selector when you add a BGP peer custom resource. Any routers, such as R1, that are configured to use BGP can be set as BGP peers. Client traffic is routed to one of the nodes on the host network. After traffic enters the node, the service proxy sends the traffic to the application pod on the same node or another node according to the external traffic policy that you set for the service. If a node becomes unavailable, the router detects the failure and initiates a new connection with another node. You can configure MetalLB to use a Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) profile for BGP peers. BFD provides faster link failure detection so that routers can initiate new connections earlier than without BFD. 5.4.1.7. Limitations and restrictions 5.4.1.7.1. Infrastructure considerations for MetalLB MetalLB is primarily useful for on-premise, bare metal installations because these installations do not include a native load-balancer capability. In addition to bare metal installations, installations of OpenShift Container Platform on some infrastructures might not include a native load-balancer capability. For example, the following infrastructures can benefit from adding the MetalLB Operator: Bare metal VMware vSphere IBM Z(R) and IBM(R) LinuxONE IBM Z(R) and IBM(R) LinuxONE for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) KVM IBM Power(R) MetalLB Operator and MetalLB are supported with the OpenShift SDN and OVN-Kubernetes network providers. 5.4.1.7.2. Limitations for layer 2 mode 5.4.1.7.2.1. Single-node bottleneck MetalLB routes all traffic for a service through a single node, the node can become a bottleneck and limit performance. Layer 2 mode limits the ingress bandwidth for your service to the bandwidth of a single node. This is a fundamental limitation of using ARP and NDP to direct traffic. 5.4.1.7.2.2. Slow failover performance Failover between nodes depends on cooperation from the clients. When a failover occurs, MetalLB sends gratuitous ARP packets to notify clients that the MAC address associated with the service IP has changed. Most client operating systems handle gratuitous ARP packets correctly and update their neighbor caches promptly. When clients update their caches quickly, failover completes within a few seconds. Clients typically fail over to a new node within 10 seconds. However, some client operating systems either do not handle gratuitous ARP packets at all or have outdated implementations that delay the cache update. Recent versions of common operating systems such as Windows, macOS, and Linux implement layer 2 failover correctly. Issues with slow failover are not expected except for older and less common client operating systems. To minimize the impact from a planned failover on outdated clients, keep the old node running for a few minutes after flipping leadership. The old node can continue to forward traffic for outdated clients until their caches refresh. During an unplanned failover, the service IPs are unreachable until the outdated clients refresh their cache entries. 5.4.1.7.2.3. Additional Network and MetalLB cannot use same network Using the same VLAN for both MetalLB and an additional network interface set up on a source pod might result in a connection failure. This occurs when both the MetalLB IP and the source pod reside on the same node. To avoid connection failures, place the MetalLB IP in a different subnet from the one where the source pod resides. This configuration ensures that traffic from the source pod will take the default gateway. Consequently, the traffic can effectively reach its destination by using the OVN overlay network, ensuring that the connection functions as intended. 5.4.1.7.3. Limitations for BGP mode 5.4.1.7.3.1. Node failure can break all active connections MetalLB shares a limitation that is common to BGP-based load balancing. When a BGP session terminates, such as when a node fails or when a speaker pod restarts, the session termination might result in resetting all active connections. End users can experience a Connection reset by peer message. The consequence of a terminated BGP session is implementation-specific for each router manufacturer. However, you can anticipate that a change in the number of speaker pods affects the number of BGP sessions and that active connections with BGP peers will break. To avoid or reduce the likelihood of a service interruption, you can specify a node selector when you add a BGP peer. By limiting the number of nodes that start BGP sessions, a fault on a node that does not have a BGP session has no affect on connections to the service. 5.4.1.7.3.2. Support for a single ASN and a single router ID only When you add a BGP peer custom resource, you specify the spec.myASN field to identify the Autonomous System Number (ASN) that MetalLB belongs to. OpenShift Container Platform uses an implementation of BGP with MetalLB that requires MetalLB to belong to a single ASN. If you attempt to add a BGP peer and specify a different value for spec.myASN than an existing BGP peer custom resource, you receive an error. Similarly, when you add a BGP peer custom resource, the spec.routerID field is optional. If you specify a value for this field, you must specify the same value for all other BGP peer custom resources that you add. The limitation to support a single ASN and single router ID is a difference with the community-supported implementation of MetalLB. 5.4.1.8. Additional resources Comparison: Fault tolerant access to external IP addresses Removing IP failover Deployment specifications for MetalLB 5.4.2. Installing the MetalLB Operator As a cluster administrator, you can add the MetalLB Operator so that the Operator can manage the lifecycle for an instance of MetalLB on your cluster.

Confirm the install plan is in the namespace: USD oc get installplan -n metallb-system Example output NAME CSV APPROVAL APPROVED install-wzg94 metallb-operator.4.16.0-nnnnnnnnnnnn Automatic true Note Installation of the Operator might take a few seconds. To verify that the Operator is installed, enter the following command: USD oc get clusterserviceversion -n metallb-system \ -o custom-columns=Name:.metadata.name,Phase:.status.phase Example output Name Phase metallb-operator.4.16.0-nnnnnnnnnnnn Succeeded 5.4.2.3. Starting MetalLB on your cluster After you install the Operator, you need to configure a single instance of a MetalLB custom resource. After you configure the custom resource, the Operator starts MetalLB on your cluster. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Install the MetalLB Operator. Procedure This procedure assumes the MetalLB Operator is installed in the metallb-system namespace. If you installed using the web console substitute openshift-operators for the namespace. Create a single instance of a MetalLB custom resource: USD cat << EOF | oc apply -f - apiVersion: metallb.io/v1beta1 kind: MetalLB metadata: name: metallb namespace: metallb-system EOF Verification Confirm that the deployment for the MetalLB controller and the daemon set for the MetalLB speaker are running. Verify that the deployment for the controller is running: USD oc get deployment -n metallb-system controller Example output NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE controller 1/1 1 1 11m Verify that the daemon set for the speaker is running: USD oc get daemonset -n metallb-system speaker Example output NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE NODE SELECTOR AGE speaker 6 6 6 6 6 kubernetes.io/os=linux 18m The example output indicates 6 speaker pods. The number of speaker pods in your cluster might differ from the example output. Make sure the output indicates one pod for each node in your cluster. 5.4.2.4. Deployment specifications for MetalLB When you start an instance of MetalLB using the MetalLB custom resource, you can configure deployment specifications in the MetalLB custom resource to manage how the controller or speaker pods deploy and run in your cluster. Use these deployment specifications to manage the following tasks: Select nodes for MetalLB pod deployment. Manage scheduling by using pod priority and pod affinity. Assign CPU limits for MetalLB pods. Assign a container RuntimeClass for MetalLB pods. Assign metadata for MetalLB pods. 5.4.2.4.1. Limit speaker pods to specific nodes By default, when you start MetalLB with the MetalLB Operator, the Operator starts an instance of a speaker pod on each node in the cluster. Only the nodes with a speaker pod can advertise a load balancer IP address. You can configure the MetalLB custom resource with a node selector to specify which nodes run the speaker pods. The most common reason to limit the speaker pods to specific nodes is to ensure that only nodes with network interfaces on specific networks advertise load balancer IP addresses. Only the nodes with a running speaker pod are advertised as destinations of the load balancer IP address. If you limit the speaker pods to specific nodes and specify local for the external traffic policy of a service, then you must ensure that the application pods for the service are deployed to the same nodes. Example configuration to limit speaker pods to worker nodes apiVersion: metallb.io/v1beta1 kind: MetalLB metadata: name: metallb namespace: metallb-system spec: nodeSelector: 1 node-role.kubernetes.io/worker: "" speakerTolerations: 2 - key: "Example" operator: "Exists" effect: "NoExecute" 1 The example configuration specifies to assign the speaker pods to worker nodes, but you can specify labels that you assigned to nodes or any valid node selector. 2 In this example configuration, the pod that this toleration is attached to tolerates any taint that matches the key value and effect value using the operator . After you apply a manifest with the spec.nodeSelector field, you can check the number of pods that the Operator deployed with the oc get daemonset -n metallb-system speaker command. Similarly, you can display the nodes that match your labels with a command like oc get nodes -l node-role.kubernetes.io/worker= . You can optionally allow the node to control which speaker pods should, or should not, be scheduled on them by using affinity rules. You can also limit these pods by applying a list of tolerations. For more information about affinity rules, taints, and tolerations, see the additional resources. 5.4.2.4.2. Configuring pod priority and pod affinity in a MetalLB deployment You can optionally assign pod priority and pod affinity rules to controller and speaker pods by configuring the MetalLB custom resource. The pod priority indicates the relative importance of a pod on a node and schedules the pod based on this priority. Set a high priority on your controller or speaker pod to ensure scheduling priority over other pods on the node. Pod affinity manages relationships among pods. Assign pod affinity to the controller or speaker pods to control on what node the scheduler places the pod in the context of pod relationships. For example, you can use pod affinity rules to ensure that certain pods are located on the same node or nodes, which can help improve network communication and reduce latency between those components. Prerequisites You are logged in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. You have installed the MetalLB Operator. You have started the MetalLB Operator on your cluster. Procedure Create a PriorityClass custom resource, such as myPriorityClass.yaml , to configure the priority level. This example defines a PriorityClass named high-priority with a value of 1000000 . Pods that are assigned this priority class are considered higher priority during scheduling compared to pods with lower priority classes: apiVersion: scheduling.k8s.io/v1 kind: PriorityClass metadata: name: high-priority value: 1000000 Apply the PriorityClass custom resource configuration: USD oc apply -f myPriorityClass.yaml Create a MetalLB custom resource, such as MetalLBPodConfig.yaml , to specify the priorityClassName and podAffinity values: apiVersion: metallb.io/v1beta1 kind: MetalLB metadata: name: metallb namespace: metallb-system spec: logLevel: debug controllerConfig: priorityClassName: high-priority 1 affinity: podAffinity: 2 requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution: - labelSelector: matchLabels: app: metallb topologyKey: kubernetes.io/hostname speakerConfig: priorityClassName: high-priority affinity: podAffinity: requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution: - labelSelector: matchLabels: app: metallb topologyKey: kubernetes.io/hostname 1 Specifies the priority class for the MetalLB controller pods. In this case, it is set to high-priority . 2 Specifies that you are configuring pod affinity rules. These rules dictate how pods are scheduled in relation to other pods or nodes. This configuration instructs the scheduler to schedule pods that have the label app: metallb onto nodes that share the same hostname. This helps to co-locate MetalLB-related pods on the same nodes, potentially optimizing network communication, latency, and resource usage between these pods. Apply the MetalLB custom resource configuration: USD oc apply -f MetalLBPodConfig.yaml Verification To view the priority class that you assigned to pods in the metallb-system namespace, run the following command: USD oc get pods -n metallb-system -o custom-columns=NAME:.metadata.name,PRIORITY:.spec.priorityClassName Example output NAME PRIORITY controller-584f5c8cd8-5zbvg high-priority metallb-operator-controller-manager-9c8d9985-szkqg <none> metallb-operator-webhook-server-c895594d4-shjgx <none> speaker-dddf7 high-priority To verify that the scheduler placed pods according to pod affinity rules, view the metadata for the pod's node or nodes by running the following command: USD oc get pod -o=custom-columns=NODE:.spec.nodeName,NAME:.metadata.name -n metallb-system 5.4.2.4.3. Configuring pod CPU limits in a MetalLB deployment You can optionally assign pod CPU limits to controller and speaker pods by configuring the MetalLB custom resource. Defining CPU limits for the controller or speaker pods helps you to manage compute resources on the node. This ensures all pods on the node have the necessary compute resources to manage workloads and cluster housekeeping. Prerequisites You are logged in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. You have installed the MetalLB Operator. Procedure Create a MetalLB custom resource file, such as CPULimits.yaml , to specify the cpu value for the controller and speaker pods: apiVersion: metallb.io/v1beta1 kind: MetalLB metadata: name: metallb namespace: metallb-system spec: logLevel: debug controllerConfig: resources: limits: cpu: "200m" speakerConfig: resources: limits: cpu: "300m" Apply the MetalLB custom resource configuration: USD oc apply -f CPULimits.yaml Verification To view compute resources for a pod, run the following command, replacing <pod_name> with your target pod: USD oc describe pod <pod_name> 5.4.2.5.

Upgrading the MetalLB Operator If you are currently running version 4.10 or an earlier version of the MetalLB Operator, please note that automatic updates to any version later than 4.10 do not work. Upgrading to a newer version from any version of the MetalLB Operator that is 4.11 or later is successful. For example, upgrading from version 4.12 to version 4.13 will occur smoothly. A summary of the upgrade procedure for the MetalLB Operator from 4.10 and earlier is as follows: Delete the installed MetalLB Operator version for example 4.10. Ensure that the namespace and the metallb custom resource are not removed. Using the CLI, install the MetalLB Operator 4.16 in the same namespace where the version of the MetalLB Operator was installed. Note This procedure does not apply to automatic z-stream updates of the MetalLB Operator, which follow the standard straightforward method. For detailed steps to upgrade the MetalLB Operator from 4.10 and earlier, see the guidance that follows. As a cluster administrator, start the upgrade process by deleting the MetalLB Operator by using the OpenShift CLI ( oc ) or the web console. 5.4.3.1. Deleting the MetalLB Operator from a cluster using the web console Cluster administrators can delete installed Operators from a selected namespace by using the web console. Prerequisites Access to an OpenShift Container Platform cluster web console using an account with cluster-admin permissions. Procedure Navigate to the Operators Installed Operators page. Search for the MetalLB Operator. Then, click on it. On the right side of the Operator Details page, select Uninstall Operator from the Actions drop-down menu. An Uninstall Operator? dialog box is displayed. Select Uninstall to remove the Operator, Operator deployments, and pods. Following this action, the Operator stops running and no longer receives updates. Note This action does not remove resources managed by the Operator, including custom resource definitions (CRDs) and custom resources (CRs). Dashboards and navigation items enabled by the web console and off-cluster resources that continue to run might need manual clean up. To remove these after uninstalling the Operator, you might need to manually delete the Operator CRDs. 5.4.3.2. Deleting MetalLB Operator from a cluster using the CLI Cluster administrators can delete installed Operators from a selected namespace by using the CLI. Prerequisites Access to an OpenShift Container Platform cluster using an account with cluster-admin permissions. oc command installed on workstation. Procedure Check the current version of the subscribed MetalLB Operator in the currentCSV field: USD oc get subscription metallb-operator -n metallb-system -o yaml | grep currentCSV Example output currentCSV: metallb-operator.4.10.0-202207051316 Delete the subscription: USD oc delete subscription metallb-operator -n metallb-system Example output subscription.operators.coreos.com "metallb-operator" deleted Delete the CSV for the Operator in the target namespace using the currentCSV value from the step: USD oc delete clusterserviceversion metallb-operator.4.10.0-202207051316 -n metallb-system Example output clusterserviceversion.operators.coreos.com "metallb-operator.4.10.0-202207051316" deleted 5.4.3.3. Editing the MetalLB Operator Operator group When upgrading from any MetalLB Operator version up to and including 4.10 to 4.11 and later, remove spec.targetNamespaces from the Operator group custom resource (CR). You must remove the spec regardless of whether you used the web console or the CLI to delete the MetalLB Operator. Note The MetalLB Operator version 4.11 or later only supports the AllNamespaces install mode, whereas 4.10 or earlier versions support OwnNamespace or SingleNamespace modes. Prerequisites You have access to an OpenShift Container Platform cluster with cluster-admin permissions. You have installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ).

Additional resources Deleting Operators from a cluster Installing the MetalLB Operator 5.5. Cluster Network Operator in OpenShift Container Platform You can use the Cluster Network Operator (CNO) to deploy and manage cluster network components on an OpenShift Container Platform cluster, including the Container Network Interface (CNI) network plugin selected for the cluster during installation. 5.5.1. Cluster Network Operator The Cluster Network Operator implements the network API from the operator.openshift.io API group. The Operator deploys the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin, or the network provider plugin that you selected during cluster installation, by using a daemon set. Procedure The Cluster Network Operator is deployed during installation as a Kubernetes Deployment . Run the following command to view the Deployment status: USD oc get -n openshift-network-operator deployment/network-operator Example output NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE network-operator 1/1 1 1 56m Run the following command to view the state of the Cluster Network Operator: USD oc get clusteroperator/network Example output NAME VERSION AVAILABLE PROGRESSING DEGRADED SINCE network 4.16.1 True False False 50m The following fields provide information about the status of the operator: AVAILABLE , PROGRESSING , and DEGRADED . The AVAILABLE field is True when the Cluster Network Operator reports an available status condition. 5.5.2. Viewing the cluster network configuration Every new OpenShift Container Platform installation has a network.config object named cluster . Procedure Use the oc describe command to view the cluster network configuration: USD oc describe network.config/cluster Example output Name: cluster Namespace: Labels: <none> Annotations: <none> API Version: config.openshift.io/v1 Kind: Network Metadata: Self Link: /apis/config.openshift.io/v1/networks/cluster Spec: 1 Cluster Network: Cidr: 10.128.0.0/14 Host Prefix: 23 Network Type: OpenShiftSDN Service Network: 172.30.0.0/16 Status: 2 Cluster Network: Cidr: 10.128.0.0/14 Host Prefix: 23 Cluster Network MTU: 8951 Network Type: OpenShiftSDN Service Network: 172.30.0.0/16 Events: <none> 1 The Spec field displays the configured state of the cluster network. 2 The Status field displays the current state of the cluster network configuration. 5.5.3. Viewing Cluster Network Operator status You can inspect the status and view the details of the Cluster Network Operator using the oc describe command. Procedure Run the following command to view the status of the Cluster Network Operator: USD oc describe clusteroperators/network 5.5.4. Enabling IP forwarding globally From OpenShift Container Platform 4.14 onward, global IP address forwarding is disabled on OVN-Kubernetes based cluster deployments to prevent undesirable effects for cluster administrators with nodes acting as routers. However, in some cases where an administrator expects traffic to be forwarded a new configuration parameter ipForwarding is available to allow forwarding of all IP traffic. To re-enable IP forwarding for all traffic on OVN-Kubernetes managed interfaces set the gatewayConfig.ipForwarding specification in the Cluster Network Operator to Global following this procedure: Procedure Backup the existing network configuration by running the following command: USD oc get network.operator cluster -o yaml > network-config-backup.yaml Run the following command to modify the existing network configuration: USD oc edit network.operator cluster Add or update the following block under spec as illustrated in the following example: spec: clusterNetwork: - cidr: 10.128.0.0/14 hostPrefix: 23 serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/16 networkType: OVNKubernetes clusterNetworkMTU: 8900 defaultNetwork: ovnKubernetesConfig: gatewayConfig: ipForwarding: Global Save and close the file. After applying the changes, the OpenShift Cluster Network Operator (CNO) applies the update across the cluster. You can monitor the progress by using the following command: USD oc get clusteroperators network The status should eventually report as Available , Progressing=False , and Degraded=False . Alternatively, you can enable IP forwarding globally by running the following command: USD oc patch network.operator cluster -p '{"spec":{"defaultNetwork":{"ovnKubernetesConfig":{"gatewayConfig":{"ipForwarding": "Global"}}}}} Note The other valid option for this parameter is Restricted in case you want to revert this change. Restricted is the default and with that setting global IP address forwarding is disabled. 5.5.5. Viewing Cluster Network Operator logs You can view Cluster Network Operator logs by using the oc logs command. Procedure Run the following command to view the logs of the Cluster Network Operator: USD oc logs --namespace=openshift-network-operator deployment/network-operator 5.5.6. Cluster Network Operator configuration The configuration for the cluster network is specified as part of the Cluster Network Operator (CNO) configuration and stored in a custom resource (CR) object that is named cluster . The CR specifies the fields for the Network API in the operator.openshift.io API group. The CNO configuration inherits the following fields during cluster installation from the Network API in the Network.config.openshift.io API group: clusterNetwork IP address pools from which pod IP addresses are allocated. serviceNetwork IP address pool for services. defaultNetwork.type Cluster network plugin. OVNKubernetes is the only supported plugin during installation. Note After cluster installation, you can only modify the clusterNetwork IP address range. The default network type can only be changed from OpenShift SDN to OVN-Kubernetes through migration. You can specify the cluster network plugin configuration for your cluster by setting the fields for the defaultNetwork object in the CNO object named cluster . 5.5.6.1. Cluster Network Operator configuration object The fields for the Cluster Network Operator (CNO) are described in the following table: Table 5.1. Cluster Network Operator configuration object Field Type Description metadata.name string The name of the CNO object. This name is always cluster . spec.clusterNetwork array A list specifying the blocks of IP addresses from which pod IP addresses are allocated and the subnet prefix length assigned to each individual node in the cluster. For example: spec: clusterNetwork: - cidr: 10.128.0.0/19 hostPrefix: 23 - cidr: 10.128.32.0/19 hostPrefix: 23 spec.serviceNetwork array A block of IP addresses for services. The OpenShift SDN and OVN-Kubernetes network plugins support only a single IP address block for the service network. For example: spec: serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/14 This value is ready-only and inherited from the Network.config.openshift.io object named cluster during cluster installation. spec.defaultNetwork object Configures the network plugin for the cluster network. spec.kubeProxyConfig object The fields for this object specify the kube-proxy configuration. If you are using the OVN-Kubernetes cluster network plugin, the kube-proxy configuration has no effect. Important For a cluster that needs to deploy objects across multiple networks, ensure that you specify the same value for the clusterNetwork.hostPrefix parameter for each network type that is defined in the install-config.yaml file. Setting a different value for each clusterNetwork.hostPrefix parameter can impact the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin, where the plugin cannot effectively route object traffic among different nodes. defaultNetwork object configuration The values for the defaultNetwork object are defined in the following table: Table 5.2. defaultNetwork object Field Type Description type string OVNKubernetes . The Red Hat OpenShift Networking network plugin is selected during installation. This value cannot be changed after cluster installation. Note OpenShift Container Platform uses the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin by default. OpenShift SDN is no longer available as an installation choice for new clusters. ovnKubernetesConfig object This object is only valid for the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin. Configuration for the OpenShift SDN network plugin The following table describes the configuration fields for the OpenShift SDN network plugin: Table 5.3. openshiftSDNConfig object Field Type Description mode string The network isolation mode for OpenShift SDN. mtu integer The maximum transmission unit (MTU) for the VXLAN overlay network. This value is normally configured automatically. vxlanPort integer The port to use for all VXLAN packets. The default value is 4789 . Example OpenShift SDN configuration defaultNetwork: type: OpenShiftSDN openshiftSDNConfig: mode: NetworkPolicy mtu: 1450 vxlanPort: 4789 Configuration for the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin The following table describes the configuration fields for the OVN-Kubernetes network plugin: Table 5.4. ovnKubernetesConfig object Field Type Description mtu integer The maximum transmission unit (MTU) for the Geneve (Generic Network Virtualization Encapsulation) overlay network. This value is normally configured automatically. genevePort integer The UDP port for the Geneve overlay network. ipsecConfig object An object describing the IPsec mode for the cluster. ipv4 object Specifies a configuration object for IPv4 settings. ipv6 object Specifies a configuration object for IPv6 settings. policyAuditConfig object Specify a configuration object for customizing network policy audit logging. If unset, the defaults audit log settings are used. gatewayConfig object Optional: Specify a configuration object for customizing how egress traffic is sent to the node gateway. Note While migrating egress traffic, you can expect some disruption to workloads and service traffic until the Cluster Network Operator (CNO) successfully rolls out the changes. Table 5.5. ovnKubernetesConfig.ipv4 object Field Type Description internalTransitSwitchSubnet string If your existing network infrastructure overlaps with the 100.88.0.0/16 IPv4 subnet, you can specify a different IP address range for internal use by OVN-Kubernetes. The subnet for the distributed transit switch that enables east-west traffic. This subnet cannot overlap with any other subnets used by OVN-Kubernetes or on the host itself. It must be large enough to accommodate one IP address per node in your cluster. The default value is 100.88.0.0/16 . internalJoinSubnet string If your existing network infrastructure overlaps with the 100.64.0.0/16 IPv4 subnet, you can specify a different IP address range for internal use by OVN-Kubernetes. You must ensure that the IP address range does not overlap with any other subnet used by your OpenShift Container Platform installation. The IP address range must be larger than the maximum number of nodes that can be added to the cluster. For example, if the clusterNetwork.cidr value is 10.128.0.0/14 and the clusterNetwork.hostPrefix value is /23 , then the maximum number of nodes is 2^(23-14)=512 . The default value is 100.64.0.0/16 . Table 5.6. ovnKubernetesConfig.ipv6 object Field Type Description internalTransitSwitchSubnet string If your existing network infrastructure overlaps with the fd97::/64 IPv6 subnet, you can specify a different IP address range for internal use by OVN-Kubernetes. The subnet for the distributed transit switch that enables east-west traffic. This subnet cannot overlap with any other subnets used by OVN-Kubernetes or on the host itself. It must be large enough to accommodate one IP address per node in your cluster. The default value is fd97::/64 . internalJoinSubnet string If your existing network infrastructure overlaps with the fd98::/64 IPv6 subnet, you can specify a different IP address range for internal use by OVN-Kubernetes. You must ensure that the IP address range does not overlap with any other subnet used by your OpenShift Container Platform installation. The IP address range must be larger than the maximum number of nodes that can be added to the cluster. The default value is fd98::/64 . Table 5.7. policyAuditConfig object Field Type Description rateLimit integer The maximum number of messages to generate every second per node. The default value is 20 messages per second. maxFileSize integer The maximum size for the audit log in bytes. The default value is 50000000 or 50 MB. maxLogFiles integer The maximum number of log files that are retained. destination string One of the following additional audit log targets: libc The libc syslog() function of the journald process on the host. udp:<host>:<port> A syslog server. Replace <host>:<port> with the host and port of the syslog server. unix:<file> A Unix Domain Socket file specified by <file> . null Do not send the audit logs to any additional target. syslogFacility string The syslog facility, such as kern , as defined by RFC5424. The default value is local0 . Table 5.8. gatewayConfig object Field Type Description routingViaHost boolean Set this field to true to send egress traffic from pods to the host networking stack. For highly-specialized installations and applications that rely on manually configured routes in the kernel routing table, you might want to route egress traffic to the host networking stack. By default, egress traffic is processed in OVN to exit the cluster and is not affected by specialized routes in the kernel routing table. The default value is false . This field has an interaction with the Open vSwitch hardware offloading feature. If you set this field to true , you do not receive the performance benefits of the offloading because egress traffic is processed by the host networking stack. ipForwarding object You can control IP forwarding for all traffic on OVN-Kubernetes managed interfaces by using the ipForwarding specification in the Network resource. Specify Restricted to only allow IP forwarding for Kubernetes related traffic. Specify Global to allow forwarding of all IP traffic. For new installations, the default is Restricted . For updates to OpenShift Container Platform 4.14 or later, the default is Global . ipv4 object Optional: Specify an object to configure the internal OVN-Kubernetes masquerade address for host to service traffic for IPv4 addresses. ipv6 object Optional: Specify an object to configure the internal OVN-Kubernetes masquerade address for host to service traffic for IPv6 addresses. Table 5.9. gatewayConfig.ipv4 object Field Type Description internalMasqueradeSubnet string The masquerade IPv4 addresses that are used internally to enable host to service traffic. The host is configured with these IP addresses as well as the shared gateway bridge interface. The default value is 169.254.169.0/29 . Table 5.10. gatewayConfig.ipv6 object Field Type Description internalMasqueradeSubnet string The masquerade IPv6 addresses that are used internally to enable host to service traffic. The host is configured with these IP addresses as well as the shared gateway bridge interface. The default value is fd69::/125 . Table 5.11. ipsecConfig object Field Type Description mode string Specifies the behavior of the IPsec implementation. Must be one of the following values: Disabled : IPsec is not enabled on cluster nodes. External : IPsec is enabled for network traffic with external hosts. Full : IPsec is enabled for pod traffic and network traffic with external hosts. Note You can only change the configuration for your cluster network plugin during cluster installation, except for the gatewayConfig field that can be changed at runtime as a postinstallation activity. Example OVN-Kubernetes configuration with IPSec enabled defaultNetwork: type: OVNKubernetes ovnKubernetesConfig: mtu: 1400 genevePort: 6081 ipsecConfig: mode: Full Important Using OVNKubernetes can lead to a stack exhaustion problem on IBM Power(R). kubeProxyConfig object configuration (OpenShiftSDN container network interface only) The values for the kubeProxyConfig object are defined in the following table: Table 5.12. kubeProxyConfig object Field Type Description iptablesSyncPeriod string The refresh period for iptables rules. The default value is 30s . Valid suffixes include s , m , and h and are described in the Go time package documentation. Note Because of performance improvements introduced in OpenShift Container Platform 4.3 and greater, adjusting the iptablesSyncPeriod parameter is no longer necessary. proxyArguments.iptables-min-sync-period array The minimum duration before refreshing iptables rules. This field ensures that the refresh does not happen too frequently. Valid suffixes include s , m , and h and are described in the Go time package . The default value is: kubeProxyConfig: proxyArguments: iptables-min-sync-period: - 0s 5.5.6.2. Cluster Network Operator example configuration A complete CNO configuration is specified in the following example: Example Cluster Network Operator object apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: Network metadata: name: cluster spec: clusterNetwork: - cidr: 10.128.0.0/14 hostPrefix: 23 serviceNetwork: - 172.30.0.0/16 networkType: OVNKubernetes clusterNetworkMTU: 8900 5.5.7. Additional resources Network API in the operator.openshift.io API group Expanding the cluster network IP address range 5.6. DNS Operator in OpenShift Container Platform In OpenShift Container Platform, the DNS Operator deploys and manages a CoreDNS instance to provide a name resolution service to pods inside the cluster, enables DNS-based Kubernetes Service discovery, and resolves internal cluster.local names. 5.6.1. Checking the status of the DNS Operator The DNS Operator implements the dns API from the operator.openshift.io API group. The Operator deploys CoreDNS using a daemon set, creates a service for the daemon set, and configures the kubelet to instruct pods to use the CoreDNS service IP address for name resolution. Procedure The DNS Operator is deployed during installation with a Deployment object. Use the oc get command to view the deployment status: USD oc get -n openshift-dns-operator deployment/dns-operator Example output NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE dns-operator 1/1 1 1 23h Use the oc get command to view the state of the DNS Operator: USD oc get clusteroperator/dns Example output NAME VERSION AVAILABLE PROGRESSING DEGRADED SINCE MESSAGE dns 4.1.15-0.11 True False False 92m AVAILABLE , PROGRESSING , and DEGRADED provide information about the status of the Operator. AVAILABLE is True when at least 1 pod from the CoreDNS daemon set reports an Available status condition, and the DNS service has a cluster IP address. 5.6.2. View the default DNS Every new OpenShift Container Platform installation has a dns.operator named default . Procedure Use the oc describe command to view the default dns : USD oc describe dns.operator/default Example output Name: default Namespace: Labels: <none> Annotations: <none> API Version: operator.openshift.io/v1 Kind: DNS ... Status: Cluster Domain: cluster.local 1 Cluster IP: 172.30.0.10 2 ... 1 The Cluster Domain field is the base DNS domain used to construct fully qualified pod and service domain names. 2 The Cluster IP is the address pods query for name resolution. The IP is defined as the 10th address in the service CIDR range. To find the service CIDR range of your cluster, use the oc get command: USD oc get networks.config/cluster -o jsonpath='{USD.status.serviceNetwork}' Example output [172.30.0.0/16] 5.6.3. Using DNS forwarding You can use DNS forwarding to override the default forwarding configuration in the /etc/resolv.conf file in the following ways: Specify name servers ( spec.servers ) for every zone. If the forwarded zone is the ingress domain managed by OpenShift Container Platform, then the upstream name server must be authorized for the domain. Provide a list of upstream DNS servers ( spec.upstreamResolvers ). Change the default forwarding policy. Note A DNS forwarding configuration for the default domain can have both the default servers specified in the /etc/resolv.conf file and the upstream DNS servers. Procedure Modify the DNS Operator object named default : USD oc edit dns.operator/default After you issue the command, the Operator creates and updates the config map named dns-default with additional server configuration blocks based on spec.servers . If none of the servers have a zone that matches the query, then name resolution falls back to the upstream DNS servers. Configuring DNS forwarding apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: DNS metadata: name: default spec: cache: negativeTTL: 0s positiveTTL: 0s logLevel: Normal nodePlacement: {} operatorLogLevel: Normal servers: - name: example-server 1 zones: - example.com 2 forwardPlugin: policy: Random 3 upstreams: 4 - 1.1.1.1 - 2.2.2.2:5353 upstreamResolvers: 5 policy: Random 6 protocolStrategy: "" 7 transportConfig: {} 8 upstreams: - type: SystemResolvConf 9 - type: Network address: 1.2.3.4 10 port: 53 11 status: clusterDomain: cluster.local clusterIP: x.y.z.10 conditions: ... 1 Must comply with the rfc6335 service name syntax. 2 Must conform to the definition of a subdomain in the rfc1123 service name syntax. The cluster domain, cluster.local , is an invalid subdomain for the zones field. 3 Defines the policy to select upstream resolvers listed in the forwardPlugin . Default value is Random . You can also use the values RoundRobin , and Sequential . 4 A maximum of 15 upstreams is allowed per forwardPlugin . 5 You can use upstreamResolvers to override the default forwarding policy and forward DNS resolution to the specified DNS resolvers (upstream resolvers) for the default domain. If you do not provide any upstream resolvers, the DNS name queries go to the servers declared in /etc/resolv.conf . 6 Determines the order in which upstream servers listed in upstreams are selected for querying. You can specify one of these values: Random , RoundRobin , or Sequential . The default value is Sequential . 7 When omitted, the platform chooses a default, normally the protocol of the original client request. Set to TCP to specify that the platform should use TCP for all upstream DNS requests, even if the client request uses UDP. 8 Used to configure the transport type, server name, and optional custom CA or CA bundle to use when forwarding DNS requests to an upstream resolver. 9 You can specify two types of upstreams : SystemResolvConf or Network . SystemResolvConf configures the upstream to use /etc/resolv.conf and Network defines a Networkresolver . You can specify one or both. 10 If the specified type is Network , you must provide an IP address. The address field must be a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address. 11 If the specified type is Network , you can optionally provide a port. The port field must have a value between 1 and 65535 . If you do not specify a port for the upstream, the default port is 853. Additional resources For more information on DNS forwarding, see the CoreDNS forward documentation . 5.6.4. Checking DNS Operator status You can inspect the status and view the details of the DNS Operator using the oc describe command. Procedure View the status of the DNS Operator: USD oc describe clusteroperators/dns Though the messages and spelling might vary in a specific release, the expected status output looks like: Status: Conditions: Last Transition Time: <date> Message: DNS "default" is available. Reason: AsExpected Status: True Type: Available Last Transition Time: <date> Message: Desired and current number of DNSes are equal Reason: AsExpected Status: False Type: Progressing Last Transition Time: <date> Reason: DNSNotDegraded Status: False Type: Degraded Last Transition Time: <date> Message: DNS default is upgradeable: DNS Operator can be upgraded Reason: DNSUpgradeable Status: True Type: Upgradeable 5.6.5. Viewing DNS Operator logs You can view DNS Operator logs by using the oc logs command. Procedure View the logs of the DNS Operator: USD oc logs -n openshift-dns-operator deployment/dns-operator -c dns-operator 5.6.6. Setting the CoreDNS log level Log levels for CoreDNS and the CoreDNS Operator are set by using different methods. You can configure the CoreDNS log level to determine the amount of detail in logged error messages. The valid values for CoreDNS log level are Normal , Debug , and Trace . The default logLevel is Normal . Note The CoreDNS error log level is always enabled. The following log level settings report different error responses: logLevel : Normal enables the "errors" class: log . { class error } . logLevel : Debug enables the "denial" class: log . { class denial error } . logLevel : Trace enables the "all" class: log . { class all } . Procedure To set logLevel to Debug , enter the following command: USD oc patch dnses.operator.openshift.io/default -p '{"spec":{"logLevel":"Debug"}}' --type=merge To set logLevel to Trace , enter the following command: USD oc patch dnses.operator.openshift.io/default -p '{"spec":{"logLevel":"Trace"}}' --type=merge Verification To ensure the desired log level was set, check the config map: USD oc get configmap/dns-default -n openshift-dns -o yaml For example, after setting the logLevel to Trace , you should see this stanza in each server block: errors log . { class all } 5.6.7. Setting the CoreDNS Operator log level Log levels for CoreDNS and CoreDNS Operator are set by using different methods. Cluster administrators can configure the Operator log level to more quickly track down OpenShift DNS issues. The valid values for operatorLogLevel are Normal , Debug , and Trace . Trace has the most detailed information. The default operatorlogLevel is Normal . There are seven logging levels for Operator issues: Trace, Debug, Info, Warning, Error, Fatal, and Panic. After the logging level is set, log entries with that severity or anything above it will be logged. operatorLogLevel: "Normal" sets logrus.SetLogLevel("Info") . operatorLogLevel: "Debug" sets logrus.SetLogLevel("Debug") . operatorLogLevel: "Trace" sets logrus.SetLogLevel("Trace") . Procedure To set operatorLogLevel to Debug , enter the following command: USD oc patch dnses.operator.openshift.io/default -p '{"spec":{"operatorLogLevel":"Debug"}}' --type=merge To set operatorLogLevel to Trace , enter the following command: USD oc patch dnses.operator.openshift.io/default -p '{"spec":{"operatorLogLevel":"Trace"}}' --type=merge Verification To review the resulting change, enter the following command: USD oc get dnses.operator -A -oyaml You should see two log level entries. The operatorLogLevel applies to OpenShift DNS Operator issues, and the logLevel applies to the daemonset of CoreDNS pods: logLevel: Trace operatorLogLevel: Debug To review the logs for the daemonset, enter the following command: USD oc logs -n openshift-dns ds/dns-default 5.6.8. Tuning the CoreDNS cache For CoreDNS, you can configure the maximum duration of both successful or unsuccessful caching, also known respectively as positive or negative caching. Tuning the cache duration of DNS query responses can reduce the load for any upstream DNS resolvers. Warning Setting TTL fields to low values could lead to an increased load on the cluster, any upstream resolvers, or both. Procedure Edit the DNS Operator object named default by running the following command: USD oc edit dns.operator.openshift.io/default Modify the time-to-live (TTL) caching values: Configuring DNS caching apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: DNS metadata: name: default spec: cache: positiveTTL: 1h 1 negativeTTL: 0.5h10m 2 1 The string value 1h is converted to its respective number of seconds by CoreDNS. If this field is omitted, the value is assumed to be 0s and the cluster uses the internal default value of 900s as a fallback. 2 The string value can be a combination of units such as 0.5h10m and is converted to its respective number of seconds by CoreDNS. If this field is omitted, the value is assumed to be 0s and the cluster uses the internal default value of 30s as a fallback. Verification To review the change, look at the config map again by running the following command: oc get configmap/dns-default -n openshift-dns -o yaml Verify that you see entries that look like the following example: cache 3600 { denial 9984 2400 } Additional resources For more information on caching, see CoreDNS cache . 5.6.9. Advanced tasks 5.6.9.1. Changing the DNS Operator managementState The DNS Operator manages the CoreDNS component to provide a name resolution service for pods and services in the cluster. The managementState of the DNS Operator is set to Managed by default, which means that the DNS Operator is actively managing its resources. You can change it to Unmanaged , which means the DNS Operator is not managing its resources. The following are use cases for changing the DNS Operator managementState : You are a developer and want to test a configuration change to see if it fixes an issue in CoreDNS. You can stop the DNS Operator from overwriting the configuration change by setting the managementState to Unmanaged . You are a cluster administrator and have reported an issue with CoreDNS, but need to apply a workaround until the issue is fixed. You can set the managementState field of the DNS Operator to Unmanaged to apply the workaround. Procedure Change managementState to Unmanaged in the DNS Operator: oc patch dns.operator.openshift.io default --type merge --patch '{"spec":{"managementState":"Unmanaged"}}' Review managementState of the DNS Operator using the jsonpath command line JSON parser: USD oc get dns.operator.openshift.io default -ojsonpath='{.spec.managementState}' Example output "Unmanaged" Note You cannot upgrade while the managementState is set to Unmanaged . 5.6.9.2. Controlling DNS pod placement The DNS Operator has two daemon sets: one for CoreDNS called dns-default and one for managing the /etc/hosts file called node-resolver . You might find a need to control which nodes have CoreDNS pods assigned and running, although this is not a common operation. For example, if the cluster administrator has configured security policies that can prohibit communication between pairs of nodes, that would necessitate restricting the set of nodes on which the daemonset for CoreDNS runs. If DNS pods are running on some nodes in the cluster and the nodes where DNS pods are not running have network connectivity to nodes where DNS pods are running, DNS service will be available to all pods. The node-resolver daemon set must run on every node host because it adds an entry for the cluster image registry to support pulling images. The node-resolver pods have only one job: to look up the image-registry.openshift-image-registry.svc service's cluster IP address and add it to /etc/hosts on the node host so that the container runtime can resolve the service name. As a cluster administrator, you can use a custom node selector to configure the daemon set for CoreDNS to run or not run on certain nodes. Prerequisites You installed the oc CLI. You are logged in to the cluster as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Your DNS Operator managementState is set to Managed . Procedure To allow the daemon set for CoreDNS to run on certain nodes, configure a taint and toleration: Modify the DNS Operator object named default : USD oc edit dns.operator/default Specify a taint key and a toleration for the taint: spec: nodePlacement: tolerations: - effect: NoExecute key: "dns-only" operators: Equal value: abc tolerationSeconds: 3600 1 1 If the taint is dns-only , it can be tolerated indefinitely. You can omit tolerationSeconds . 5.6.9.3. Configuring DNS forwarding with TLS When working in a highly regulated environment, you might need the ability to secure DNS traffic when forwarding requests to upstream resolvers so that you can ensure additional DNS traffic and data privacy. Be aware that CoreDNS caches forwarded connections for 10 seconds. CoreDNS will hold a TCP connection open for those 10 seconds if no request is issued. With large clusters, ensure that your DNS server is aware that it might get many new connections to hold open because you can initiate a connection per node. Set up your DNS hierarchy accordingly to avoid performance issues. Procedure Modify the DNS Operator object named default : USD oc edit dns.operator/default Cluster administrators can configure transport layer security (TLS) for forwarded DNS queries. Configuring DNS forwarding with TLS apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: DNS metadata: name: default spec: servers: - name: example-server 1 zones: - example.com 2 forwardPlugin: transportConfig: transport: TLS 3 tls: caBundle: name: mycacert serverName: dnstls.example.com 4 policy: Random 5 upstreams: 6 - 1.1.1.1 - 2.2.2.2:5353 upstreamResolvers: 7 transportConfig: transport: TLS tls: caBundle: name: mycacert serverName: dnstls.example.com upstreams: - type: Network 8 address: 1.2.3.4 9 port: 53 10 1 Must comply with the rfc6335 service name syntax. 2 Must conform to the definition of a subdomain in the rfc1123 service name syntax. The cluster domain, cluster.local , is an invalid subdomain for the zones field. The cluster domain, cluster.local , is an invalid subdomain for zones . 3 When configuring TLS for forwarded DNS queries, set the transport field to have the value TLS . 4 When configuring TLS for forwarded DNS queries, this is a mandatory server name used as part of the server name indication (SNI) to validate the upstream TLS server certificate. 5 Defines the policy to select upstream resolvers. Default value is Random . You can also use the values RoundRobin , and Sequential . 6 Required. Use it to provide upstream resolvers. A maximum of 15 upstreams entries are allowed per forwardPlugin entry. 7 Optional. You can use it to override the default policy and forward DNS resolution to the specified DNS resolvers (upstream resolvers) for the default domain. If you do not provide any upstream resolvers, the DNS name queries go to the servers in /etc/resolv.conf . 8 Only the Network type is allowed when using TLS and you must provide an IP address. Network type indicates that this upstream resolver should handle forwarded requests separately from the upstream resolvers listed in /etc/resolv.conf . 9 The address field must be a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address. 10 You can optionally provide a port. The port must have a value between 1 and 65535 . If you do not specify a port for the upstream, the default port is 853. Note If servers is undefined or invalid, the config map only contains the default server. Verification View the config map: USD oc get configmap/dns-default -n openshift-dns -o yaml Sample DNS ConfigMap based on TLS forwarding example apiVersion: v1 data: Corefile: | example.com:5353 { forward . 1.1.1.1 2.2.2.2:5353 } bar.com:5353 example.com:5353 { forward . 3.3.3.3 4.4.4.4:5454 1 } .:5353 { errors health kubernetes cluster.local in-addr.arpa ip6.arpa { pods insecure upstream fallthrough in-addr.arpa ip6.arpa } prometheus :9153 forward . /etc/resolv.conf 1.2.3.4:53 { policy Random } cache 30 reload } kind: ConfigMap metadata: labels: dns.operator.openshift.io/owning-dns: default name: dns-default namespace: openshift-dns 1 Changes to the forwardPlugin triggers a rolling update of the CoreDNS daemon set. Additional resources For more information on DNS forwarding, see the CoreDNS forward documentation . 5.7. Ingress Operator in OpenShift Container Platform The Ingress Operator implements the IngressController API and is the component responsible for enabling external access to OpenShift Container Platform cluster services. 5.7.1. OpenShift Container Platform Ingress Operator When you create your OpenShift Container Platform cluster, pods and services running on the cluster are each allocated their own IP addresses. The IP addresses are accessible to other pods and services running nearby but are not accessible to outside clients. The Ingress Operator makes it possible for external clients to access your service by deploying and managing one or more HAProxy-based Ingress Controllers to handle routing. You can use the Ingress Operator to route traffic by specifying OpenShift Container Platform Route and Kubernetes Ingress resources. Configurations within the Ingress Controller, such as the ability to define endpointPublishingStrategy type and internal load balancing, provide ways to publish Ingress Controller endpoints. 5.7.2. The Ingress configuration asset The installation program generates an asset with an Ingress resource in the config.openshift.io API group, cluster-ingress-02-config.yml . YAML Definition of the Ingress resource apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1 kind: Ingress metadata: name: cluster spec: domain: apps.openshiftdemos.com The installation program stores this asset in the cluster-ingress-02-config.yml file in the manifests/ directory. This Ingress resource defines the cluster-wide configuration for Ingress. This Ingress configuration is used as follows: The Ingress Operator uses the domain from the cluster Ingress configuration as the domain for the default Ingress Controller. The OpenShift API Server Operator uses the domain from the cluster Ingress configuration. This domain is also used when generating a default host for a Route resource that does not specify an explicit host. 5.7.3. Ingress Controller configuration parameters The IngressController custom resource (CR) includes optional configuration parameters that you can configure to meet specific needs for your organization. Parameter Description domain domain is a DNS name serviced by the Ingress Controller and is used to configure multiple features: For the LoadBalancerService endpoint publishing strategy, domain is used to configure DNS records. See endpointPublishingStrategy . When using a generated default certificate, the certificate is valid for domain and its subdomains . See defaultCertificate . The value is published to individual Route statuses so that users know where to target external DNS records. The domain value must be unique among all Ingress Controllers and cannot be updated. If empty, the default value is ingress.config.openshift.io/cluster .spec.domain . replicas replicas is the number of Ingress Controller replicas. If not set, the default value is 2 . endpointPublishingStrategy endpointPublishingStrategy is used to publish the Ingress Controller endpoints to other networks, enable load balancer integrations, and provide access to other systems. For cloud environments, use the loadBalancer field to configure the endpoint publishing strategy for your Ingress Controller. On GCP, AWS, and Azure you can configure the following endpointPublishingStrategy fields: loadBalancer.scope loadBalancer.allowedSourceRanges If not set, the default value is based on infrastructure.config.openshift.io/cluster .status.platform : Azure: LoadBalancerService (with External scope) Google Cloud Platform (GCP): LoadBalancerService (with External scope) For most platforms, the endpointPublishingStrategy value can be updated. On GCP, you can configure the following endpointPublishingStrategy fields: loadBalancer.scope loadbalancer.providerParameters.gcp.clientAccess For non-cloud environments, such as a bare-metal platform, use the NodePortService , HostNetwork , or Private fields to configure the endpoint publishing strategy for your Ingress Controller. If you do not set a value in one of these fields, the default value is based on binding ports specified in the .status.platform value in the IngressController CR. If you need to update the endpointPublishingStrategy value after your cluster is deployed, you can configure the following endpointPublishingStrategy fields: hostNetwork.protocol nodePort.protocol private.protocol defaultCertificate The defaultCertificate value is a reference to a secret that contains the default certificate that is served by the Ingress Controller. When Routes do not specify their own certificate, defaultCertificate is used. The secret must contain the following keys and data: * tls.crt : certificate file contents * tls.key : key file contents If not set, a wildcard certificate is automatically generated and used. The certificate is valid for the Ingress Controller domain and subdomains , and the generated certificate's CA is automatically integrated with the cluster's trust store. The in-use certificate, whether generated or user-specified, is automatically integrated with OpenShift Container Platform built-in OAuth server. namespaceSelector namespaceSelector is used to filter the set of namespaces serviced by the Ingress Controller. This is useful for implementing shards. routeSelector routeSelector is used to filter the set of Routes serviced by the Ingress Controller. This is useful for implementing shards. nodePlacement nodePlacement enables explicit control over the scheduling of the Ingress Controller. If not set, the defaults values are used. Note The nodePlacement parameter includes two parts, nodeSelector and tolerations . For example: nodePlacement: nodeSelector: matchLabels: kubernetes.io/os: linux tolerations: - effect: NoSchedule operator: Exists tlsSecurityProfile tlsSecurityProfile specifies settings for TLS connections for Ingress Controllers. If not set, the default value is based on the apiservers.config.openshift.io/cluster resource. When using the Old , Intermediate , and Modern profile types, the effective profile configuration is subject to change between releases. For example, given a specification to use the Intermediate profile deployed on release X.Y.Z , an upgrade to release X.Y.Z+1 may cause a new profile configuration to be applied to the Ingress Controller, resulting in a rollout. The minimum TLS version for Ingress Controllers is 1.1 , and the maximum TLS version is 1.3 . Note Ciphers and the minimum TLS version of the configured security profile are reflected in the TLSProfile status. Important The Ingress Operator converts the TLS 1.0 of an Old or Custom profile to 1.1 . clientTLS clientTLS authenticates client access to the cluster and services; as a result, mutual TLS authentication is enabled. If not set, then client TLS is not enabled. clientTLS has the required subfields, spec.clientTLS.clientCertificatePolicy and spec.clientTLS.ClientCA . The ClientCertificatePolicy subfield accepts one of the two values: Required or Optional . The ClientCA subfield specifies a config map that is in the openshift-config namespace. The config map should contain a CA certificate bundle. The AllowedSubjectPatterns is an optional value that specifies a list of regular expressions, which are matched against the distinguished name on a valid client certificate to filter requests. The regular expressions must use PCRE syntax. At least one pattern must match a client certificate's distinguished name; otherwise, the Ingress Controller rejects the certificate and denies the connection. If not specified, the Ingress Controller does not reject certificates based on the distinguished name. routeAdmission routeAdmission defines a policy for handling new route claims, such as allowing or denying claims across namespaces. namespaceOwnership describes how hostname claims across namespaces should be handled. The default is Strict . Strict : does not allow routes to claim the same hostname across namespaces. InterNamespaceAllowed : allows routes to claim different paths of the same hostname across namespaces. wildcardPolicy describes how routes with wildcard policies are handled by the Ingress Controller. WildcardsAllowed : Indicates routes with any wildcard policy are admitted by the Ingress Controller. WildcardsDisallowed : Indicates only routes with a wildcard policy of None are admitted by the Ingress Controller. Updating wildcardPolicy from WildcardsAllowed to WildcardsDisallowed causes admitted routes with a wildcard policy of Subdomain to stop working. These routes must be recreated to a wildcard policy of None to be readmitted by the Ingress Controller. WildcardsDisallowed is the default setting. IngressControllerLogging logging defines parameters for what is logged where. If this field is empty, operational logs are enabled but access logs are disabled. access describes how client requests are logged. If this field is empty, access logging is disabled. destination describes a destination for log messages. type is the type of destination for logs: Container specifies that logs should go to a sidecar container. The Ingress Operator configures the container, named logs , on the Ingress Controller pod and configures the Ingress Controller to write logs to the container. The expectation is that the administrator configures a custom logging solution that reads logs from this container. Using container logs means that logs may be dropped if the rate of logs exceeds the container runtime capacity or the custom logging solution capacity. Syslog specifies that logs are sent to a Syslog endpoint. The administrator must specify an endpoint that can receive Syslog messages. The expectation is that the administrator has configured a custom Syslog instance. container describes parameters for the Container logging destination type. Currently there are no parameters for container logging, so this field must be empty. syslog describes parameters for the Syslog logging destination type: address is the IP address of the syslog endpoint that receives log messages. port is the UDP port number of the syslog endpoint that receives log messages. maxLength is the maximum length of the syslog message. It must be between 480 and 4096 bytes. If this field is empty, the maximum length is set to the default value of 1024 bytes. facility specifies the syslog facility of log messages. If this field is empty, the facility is local1 . Otherwise, it must specify a valid syslog facility: kern , user , mail , daemon , auth , syslog , lpr , news , uucp , cron , auth2 , ftp , ntp , audit , alert , cron2 , local0 , local1 , local2 , local3 . local4 , local5 , local6 , or local7 . httpLogFormat specifies the format of the log message for an HTTP request. If this field is empty, log messages use the implementation's default HTTP log format. For HAProxy's default HTTP log format, see the HAProxy documentation . httpHeaders httpHeaders defines the policy for HTTP headers. By setting the forwardedHeaderPolicy for the IngressControllerHTTPHeaders , you specify when and how the Ingress Controller sets the Forwarded , X-Forwarded-For , X-Forwarded-Host , X-Forwarded-Port , X-Forwarded-Proto , and X-Forwarded-Proto-Version HTTP headers. By default, the policy is set to Append . Append specifies that the Ingress Controller appends the headers, preserving any existing headers. Replace specifies that the Ingress Controller sets the headers, removing any existing headers. IfNone specifies that the Ingress Controller sets the headers if they are not already set. Never specifies that the Ingress Controller never sets the headers, preserving any existing headers. By setting headerNameCaseAdjustments , you can specify case adjustments that can be applied to HTTP header names. Each adjustment is specified as an HTTP header name with the desired capitalization. For example, specifying X-Forwarded-For indicates that the x-forwarded-for HTTP header should be adjusted to have the specified capitalization. These adjustments are only applied to cleartext, edge-terminated, and re-encrypt routes, and only when using HTTP/1. For request headers, these adjustments are applied only for routes that have the haproxy.router.openshift.io/h1-adjust-case=true annotation. For response headers, these adjustments are applied to all HTTP responses. If this field is empty, no request headers are adjusted. actions specifies options for performing certain actions on headers. Headers cannot be set or deleted for TLS passthrough connections. The actions field has additional subfields spec.httpHeader.actions.response and spec.httpHeader.actions.request : The response subfield specifies a list of HTTP response headers to set or delete. The request subfield specifies a list of HTTP request headers to set or delete. httpCompression httpCompression defines the policy for HTTP traffic compression. mimeTypes defines a list of MIME types to which compression should be applied. For example, text/css; charset=utf-8 , text/html , text/* , image/svg+xml , application/octet-stream , X-custom/customsub , using the format pattern, type/subtype; [;attribute=value] . The types are: application, image, message, multipart, text, video, or a custom type prefaced by X- ; e.g. To see the full notation for MIME types and subtypes, see RFC1341 httpErrorCodePages httpErrorCodePages specifies custom HTTP error code response pages. By default, an IngressController uses error pages built into the IngressController image. httpCaptureCookies httpCaptureCookies specifies HTTP cookies that you want to capture in access logs. If the httpCaptureCookies field is empty, the access logs do not capture the cookies. For any cookie that you want to capture, the following parameters must be in your IngressController configuration: name specifies the name of the cookie. maxLength specifies tha maximum length of the cookie. matchType specifies if the field name of the cookie exactly matches the capture cookie setting or is a prefix of the capture cookie setting. The matchType field uses the Exact and Prefix parameters. For example: httpCaptureCookies: - matchType: Exact maxLength: 128 name: MYCOOKIE httpCaptureHeaders httpCaptureHeaders specifies the HTTP headers that you want to capture in the access logs. If the httpCaptureHeaders field is empty, the access logs do not capture the headers. httpCaptureHeaders contains two lists of headers to capture in the access logs. The two lists of header fields are request and response . In both lists, the name field must specify the header name and the maxlength field must specify the maximum length of the header. For example: httpCaptureHeaders: request: - maxLength: 256 name: Connection - maxLength: 128 name: User-Agent response: - maxLength: 256 name: Content-Type - maxLength: 256 name: Content-Length tuningOptions tuningOptions specifies options for tuning the performance of Ingress Controller pods. clientFinTimeout specifies how long a connection is held open while waiting for the client response to the server closing the connection. The default timeout is 1s . clientTimeout specifies how long a connection is held open while waiting for a client response. The default timeout is 30s . headerBufferBytes specifies how much memory is reserved, in bytes, for Ingress Controller connection sessions. This value must be at least 16384 if HTTP/2 is enabled for the Ingress Controller. If not set, the default value is 32768 bytes. Setting this field not recommended because headerBufferBytes values that are too small can break the Ingress Controller, and headerBufferBytes values that are too large could cause the Ingress Controller to use significantly more memory than necessary. headerBufferMaxRewriteBytes specifies how much memory should be reserved, in bytes, from headerBufferBytes for HTTP header rewriting and appending for Ingress Controller connection sessions. The minimum value for headerBufferMaxRewriteBytes is 4096 . headerBufferBytes must be greater than headerBufferMaxRewriteBytes for incoming HTTP requests. If not set, the default value is 8192 bytes. Setting this field not recommended because headerBufferMaxRewriteBytes values that are too small can break the Ingress Controller and headerBufferMaxRewriteBytes values that are too large could cause the Ingress Controller to use significantly more memory than necessary. healthCheckInterval specifies how long the router waits between health checks. The default is 5s . serverFinTimeout specifies how long a connection is held open while waiting for the server response to the client that is closing the connection. The default timeout is 1s . serverTimeout specifies how long a connection is held open while waiting for a server response. The default timeout is 30s . threadCount specifies the number of threads to create per HAProxy process. Creating more threads allows each Ingress Controller pod to handle more connections, at the cost of more system resources being used. HAProxy supports up to 64 threads. If this field is empty, the Ingress Controller uses the default value of 4 threads. The default value can change in future releases. Setting this field is not recommended because increasing the number of HAProxy threads allows Ingress Controller pods to use more CPU time under load, and prevent other pods from receiving the CPU resources they need to perform. Reducing the number of threads can cause the Ingress Controller to perform poorly. tlsInspectDelay specifies how long the router can hold data to find a matching route. Setting this value too short can cause the router to fall back to the default certificate for edge-terminated, reencrypted, or passthrough routes, even when using a better matched certificate. The default inspect delay is 5s . tunnelTimeout specifies how long a tunnel connection, including websockets, remains open while the tunnel is idle. The default timeout is 1h . maxConnections specifies the maximum number of simultaneous connections that can be established per HAProxy process. Increasing this value allows each ingress controller pod to handle more connections at the cost of additional system resources. Permitted values are 0 , -1 , any value within the range 2000 and 2000000 , or the field can be left empty. If this field is left empty or has the value 0 , the Ingress Controller will use the default value of 50000 . This value is subject to change in future releases. If the field has the value of -1 , then HAProxy will dynamically compute a maximum value based on the available ulimits in the running container. This process results in a large computed value that will incur significant memory usage compared to the current default value of 50000 . If the field has a value that is greater than the current operating system limit, the HAProxy process will not start. If you choose a discrete value and the router pod is migrated to a new node, it is possible the new node does not have an identical ulimit configured. In such cases, the pod fails to start. If you have nodes with different ulimits configured, and you choose a discrete value, it is recommended to use the value of -1 for this field so that the maximum number of connections is calculated at runtime. logEmptyRequests logEmptyRequests specifies connections for which no request is received and logged. These empty requests come from load balancer health probes or web browser speculative connections (preconnect) and logging these requests can be undesirable. However, these requests can be caused by network errors, in which case logging empty requests can be useful for diagnosing the errors. These requests can be caused by port scans, and logging empty requests can aid in detecting intrusion attempts. Allowed values for this field are Log and Ignore . The default value is Log . The LoggingPolicy type accepts either one of two values: Log : Setting this value to Log indicates that an event should be logged. Ignore : Setting this value to Ignore sets the dontlognull option in the HAproxy configuration. HTTPEmptyRequestsPolicy HTTPEmptyRequestsPolicy describes how HTTP connections are handled if the connection times out before a request is received. Allowed values for this field are Respond and Ignore . The default value is Respond . The HTTPEmptyRequestsPolicy type accepts either one of two values: Respond : If the field is set to Respond , the Ingress Controller sends an HTTP 400 or 408 response, logs the connection if access logging is enabled, and counts the connection in the appropriate metrics. Ignore : Setting this option to Ignore adds the http-ignore-probes parameter in the HAproxy configuration. If the field is set to Ignore , the Ingress Controller closes the connection without sending a response, then logs the connection, or incrementing metrics. These connections come from load balancer health probes or web browser speculative connections (preconnect) and can be safely ignored. However, these requests can be caused by network errors, so setting this field to Ignore can impede detection and diagnosis of problems. These requests can be caused by port scans, in which case logging empty requests can aid in detecting intrusion attempts. 5.7.3.1. Ingress Controller TLS security profiles TLS security profiles provide a way for servers to regulate which ciphers a connecting client can use when connecting to the server. 5.7.3.1.1. Understanding TLS security profiles You can use a TLS (Transport Layer Security) security profile to define which TLS ciphers are required by various OpenShift Container Platform components. The OpenShift Container Platform TLS security profiles are based on Mozilla recommended configurations . You can specify one of the following TLS security profiles for each component: Table 5.13. TLS security profiles Profile Description Old This profile is intended for use with legacy clients or libraries. The profile is based on the Old backward compatibility recommended configuration. The Old profile requires a minimum TLS version of 1.0. Note For the Ingress Controller, the minimum TLS version is converted from 1.0 to 1.1. Intermediate This profile is the recommended configuration for the majority of clients. It is the default TLS security profile for the Ingress Controller, kubelet, and control plane. The profile is based on the Intermediate compatibility recommended configuration. The Intermediate profile requires a minimum TLS version of 1.2. Modern This profile is intended for use with modern clients that have no need for backwards compatibility. This profile is based on the Modern compatibility recommended configuration. The Modern profile requires a minimum TLS version of 1.3. Custom This profile allows you to define the TLS version and ciphers to use. Warning Use caution when using a Custom profile, because invalid configurations can cause problems. Note When using one of the predefined profile types, the effective profile configuration is subject to change between releases. For example, given a specification to use the Intermediate profile deployed on release X.Y.Z, an upgrade to release X.Y.Z+1 might cause a new profile configuration to be applied, resulting in a rollout. 5.7.3.1.2. Configuring the TLS security profile for the Ingress Controller To configure a TLS security profile for an Ingress Controller, edit the IngressController custom resource (CR) to specify a predefined or custom TLS security profile. If a TLS security profile is not configured, the default value is based on the TLS security profile set for the API server. Sample IngressController CR that configures the Old TLS security profile apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController ... spec: tlsSecurityProfile: old: {} type: Old ... The TLS security profile defines the minimum TLS version and the TLS ciphers for TLS connections for Ingress Controllers. You can see the ciphers and the minimum TLS version of the configured TLS security profile in the IngressController custom resource (CR) under Status.Tls Profile and the configured TLS security profile under Spec.Tls Security Profile . For the Custom TLS security profile, the specific ciphers and minimum TLS version are listed under both parameters. Note The HAProxy Ingress Controller image supports TLS 1.3 and the Modern profile. The Ingress Operator also converts the TLS 1.0 of an Old or Custom profile to 1.1 . Prerequisites You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. Procedure Edit the IngressController CR in the openshift-ingress-operator project to configure the TLS security profile: USD oc edit IngressController default -n openshift-ingress-operator Add the spec.tlsSecurityProfile field: Sample IngressController CR for a Custom profile apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController ... spec: tlsSecurityProfile: type: Custom 1 custom: 2 ciphers: 3 - ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305 - ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305 - ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 - ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 minTLSVersion: VersionTLS11 ... 1 Specify the TLS security profile type ( Old , Intermediate , or Custom ). The default is Intermediate . 2 Specify the appropriate field for the selected type: old: {} intermediate: {} custom: 3 For the custom type, specify a list of TLS ciphers and minimum accepted TLS version. Save the file to apply the changes. Verification Verify that the profile is set in the IngressController CR: USD oc describe IngressController default -n openshift-ingress-operator Example output Name: default Namespace: openshift-ingress-operator Labels: <none> Annotations: <none> API Version: operator.openshift.io/v1 Kind: IngressController ...

Configuring mutual TLS authentication You can configure the Ingress Controller to enable mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication by setting a spec.clientTLS value. The clientTLS value configures the Ingress Controller to verify client certificates. This configuration includes setting a clientCA value, which is a reference to a config map. The config map contains the PEM-encoded CA certificate bundle that is used to verify a client's certificate. Optionally, you can also configure a list of certificate subject filters. If the clientCA value specifies an X509v3 certificate revocation list (CRL) distribution point, the Ingress Operator downloads and manages a CRL config map based on the HTTP URI X509v3 CRL Distribution Point specified in each provided certificate. The Ingress Controller uses this config map during mTLS/TLS negotiation. Requests that do not provide valid certificates are rejected. Prerequisites You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. You have a PEM-encoded CA certificate bundle. If your CA bundle references a CRL distribution point, you must have also included the end-entity or leaf certificate to the client CA bundle. This certificate must have included an HTTP URI under CRL Distribution Points , as described in RFC 5280. For example: Issuer: C=US, O=Example Inc, CN=Example Global G2 TLS RSA SHA256 2020 CA1 Subject: SOME SIGNED CERT X509v3 CRL Distribution Points: Full Name: URI:http://crl.example.com/example.crl Procedure In the openshift-config namespace, create a config map from your CA bundle: USD oc create configmap \ router-ca-certs-default \ --from-file=ca-bundle.pem=client-ca.crt \ 1 -n openshift-config 1 The config map data key must be ca-bundle.pem , and the data value must be a CA certificate in PEM format. Edit the IngressController resource in the openshift-ingress-operator project: USD oc edit IngressController default -n openshift-ingress-operator Add the spec.clientTLS field and subfields to configure mutual TLS: Sample IngressController CR for a clientTLS profile that specifies filtering patterns apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController metadata: name: default namespace: openshift-ingress-operator spec: clientTLS: clientCertificatePolicy: Required clientCA: name: router-ca-certs-default allowedSubjectPatterns: - "^/CN=example.com/ST=NC/C=US/O=Security/OU=OpenShiftUSD" Optional, get the Distinguished Name (DN) for allowedSubjectPatterns by entering the following command. 5.7.4. View the default Ingress Controller The Ingress Operator is a core feature of OpenShift Container Platform and is enabled out of the box. Every new OpenShift Container Platform installation has an ingresscontroller named default. It can be supplemented with additional Ingress Controllers. If the default ingresscontroller is deleted, the Ingress Operator will automatically recreate it within a minute. Procedure View the default Ingress Controller: USD oc describe --namespace=openshift-ingress-operator ingresscontroller/default 5.7.5. View Ingress Operator status You can view and inspect the status of your Ingress Operator. Procedure View your Ingress Operator status: USD oc describe clusteroperators/ingress 5.7.6. View Ingress Controller logs You can view your Ingress Controller logs. Procedure View your Ingress Controller logs: USD oc logs --namespace=openshift-ingress-operator deployments/ingress-operator -c <container_name> 5.7.7. View Ingress Controller status Your can view the status of a particular Ingress Controller. Procedure View the status of an Ingress Controller: USD oc describe --namespace=openshift-ingress-operator ingresscontroller/<name> 5.7.8. Creating a custom Ingress Controller As a cluster administrator, you can create a new custom Ingress Controller. Because the default Ingress Controller might change during OpenShift Container Platform updates, creating a custom Ingress Controller can be helpful when maintaining a configuration manually that persists across cluster updates. This example provides a minimal spec for a custom Ingress Controller. To further customize your custom Ingress Controller, see "Configuring the Ingress Controller". Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Create a YAML file that defines the custom IngressController object: Example custom-ingress-controller.yaml file apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController metadata: name: <custom_name> 1 namespace: openshift-ingress-operator spec: defaultCertificate: name: <custom-ingress-custom-certs> 2 replicas: 1 3 domain: <custom_domain> 4 1 Specify the a custom name for the IngressController object. 2 Specify the name of the secret with the custom wildcard certificate. 3 Minimum replica needs to be ONE 4 Specify the domain to your domain name. The domain specified on the IngressController object and the domain used for the certificate must match. For example, if the domain value is "custom_domain.mycompany.com", then the certificate must have SAN *.custom_domain.mycompany.com (with the *. added to the domain). Create the object by running the following command: USD oc create -f custom-ingress-controller.yaml 5.7.9. Configuring the Ingress Controller 5.7.9.1. Setting a custom default certificate As an administrator, you can configure an Ingress Controller to use a custom certificate by creating a Secret resource and editing the IngressController custom resource (CR). Prerequisites You must have a certificate/key pair in PEM-encoded files, where the certificate is signed by a trusted certificate authority or by a private trusted certificate authority that you configured in a custom PKI. Your certificate meets the following requirements: The certificate is valid for the ingress domain. The certificate uses the subjectAltName extension to specify a wildcard domain, such as *.apps.ocp4.example.com . You must have an IngressController CR. You may use the default one: USD oc --namespace openshift-ingress-operator get ingresscontrollers Example output NAME AGE default 10m Note If you have intermediate certificates, they must be included in the tls.crt file of the secret containing a custom default certificate. Order matters when specifying a certificate; list your intermediate certificate(s) after any server certificate(s). Procedure The following assumes that the custom certificate and key pair are in the tls.crt and tls.key files in the current working directory. Substitute the actual path names for tls.crt and tls.key . You also may substitute another name for custom-certs-default when creating the Secret resource and referencing it in the IngressController CR. Note This action will cause the Ingress Controller to be redeployed, using a rolling deployment strategy. Create a Secret resource containing the custom certificate in the openshift-ingress namespace using the tls.crt and tls.key files. USD oc --namespace openshift-ingress create secret tls custom-certs-default --cert=tls.crt --key=tls.key Update the IngressController CR to reference the new certificate secret: USD oc patch --type=merge --namespace openshift-ingress-operator ingresscontrollers/default \ --patch '{"spec":{"defaultCertificate":{"name":"custom-certs-default"}}}' Verify the update was effective: USD echo Q |\ openssl s_client -connect console-openshift-console.apps.<domain>:443 -showcerts 2>/dev/null |\ openssl x509 -noout -subject -issuer -enddate where: <domain> Specifies the base domain name for your cluster. Example output subject=C = US, ST = NC, L = Raleigh, O = RH, OU = OCP4, CN = *.apps.example.com issuer=C = US, ST = NC, L = Raleigh, O = RH, OU = OCP4, CN = example.com notAfter=May 10 08:32:45 2022 GM Tip You can alternatively apply the following YAML to set a custom default certificate: apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController metadata: name: default namespace: openshift-ingress-operator spec: defaultCertificate: name: custom-certs-default The certificate secret name should match the value used to update the CR. Once the IngressController CR has been modified, the Ingress Operator updates the Ingress Controller's deployment to use the custom certificate. 5.7.9.2. Removing a custom default certificate As an administrator, you can remove a custom certificate that you configured an Ingress Controller to use. Prerequisites You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. You have installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You previously configured a custom default certificate for the Ingress Controller. Procedure To remove the custom certificate and restore the certificate that ships with OpenShift Container Platform, enter the following command: USD oc patch -n openshift-ingress-operator ingresscontrollers/default \ --type json -p USD'- op: remove\n path: /spec/defaultCertificate' There can be a delay while the cluster reconciles the new certificate configuration. Verification To confirm that the original cluster certificate is restored, enter the following command: USD echo Q | \ openssl s_client -connect console-openshift-console.apps.<domain>:443 -showcerts 2>/dev/null | \ openssl x509 -noout -subject -issuer -enddate where: <domain> Specifies the base domain name for your cluster. Example output subject=CN = *.apps.<domain> issuer=CN = ingress-operator@1620633373 notAfter=May 10 10:44:36 2023 GMT 5.7.9.3. Autoscaling an Ingress Controller You can automatically scale an Ingress Controller to dynamically meet routing performance or availability requirements, such as the requirement to increase throughput. The following procedure provides an example for scaling up the default Ingress Controller. Prerequisites You have the OpenShift CLI ( oc ) installed. You have access to an OpenShift Container Platform cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. You installed the Custom Metrics Autoscaler Operator and an associated KEDA Controller. You can install the Operator by using OperatorHub on the web console. After you install the Operator, you can create an instance of KedaController . Procedure Create a service account to authenticate with Thanos by running the following command: USD oc create -n openshift-ingress-operator serviceaccount thanos && oc describe -n openshift-ingress-operator serviceaccount thanos Example output Name: thanos Namespace: openshift-ingress-operator Labels: <none> Annotations: <none> Image pull secrets: thanos-dockercfg-kfvf2 Mountable secrets: thanos-dockercfg-kfvf2 Tokens: <none> Events: <none> Manually create the service account secret token with the following command: USD oc apply -f - <<EOF apiVersion: v1 kind: Secret metadata: name: thanos-token namespace: openshift-ingress-operator annotations: kubernetes.io/service-account.name: thanos type: kubernetes.io/service-account-token EOF Define a TriggerAuthentication object within the openshift-ingress-operator namespace by using the service account's token. Create the TriggerAuthentication object and pass the value of the secret variable to the TOKEN parameter: USD oc apply -f - <<EOF apiVersion: keda.sh/v1alpha1 kind: TriggerAuthentication metadata: name: keda-trigger-auth-prometheus namespace: openshift-ingress-operator spec: secretTargetRef: - parameter: bearerToken name: thanos-token key: token - parameter: ca name: thanos-token key: ca.crt EOF Create and apply a role for reading metrics from Thanos: Create a new role, thanos-metrics-reader.yaml , that reads metrics from pods and nodes: thanos-metrics-reader.yaml apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1 kind: Role metadata: name: thanos-metrics-reader namespace: openshift-ingress-operator rules: - apiGroups: - "" resources: - pods - nodes verbs: - get - apiGroups: - metrics.k8s.io resources: - pods - nodes verbs: - get - list - watch - apiGroups: - "" resources: - namespaces verbs: - get Apply the new role by running the following command: USD oc apply -f thanos-metrics-reader.yaml Add the new role to the service account by entering the following commands: USD oc adm policy -n openshift-ingress-operator add-role-to-user thanos-metrics-reader -z thanos --role-namespace=openshift-ingress-operator USD oc adm policy -n openshift-ingress-operator add-cluster-role-to-user cluster-monitoring-view -z thanos Note The argument add-cluster-role-to-user is only required if you use cross-namespace queries. The following step uses a query from the kube-metrics namespace which requires this argument. Create a new ScaledObject YAML file, ingress-autoscaler.yaml , that targets the default Ingress Controller deployment: Example ScaledObject definition apiVersion: keda.sh/v1alpha1 kind: ScaledObject metadata: name: ingress-scaler namespace: openshift-ingress-operator spec: scaleTargetRef: 1 apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController name: default envSourceContainerName: ingress-operator minReplicaCount: 1 maxReplicaCount: 20 2 cooldownPeriod: 1 pollingInterval: 1 triggers: - type: prometheus metricType: AverageValue metadata: serverAddress: https://thanos-querier.openshift-monitoring.svc.cluster.local:9091 3 namespace: openshift-ingress-operator 4 metricName: 'kube-node-role' threshold: '1' query: 'sum(kube_node_role{role="worker",service="kube-state-metrics"})' 5 authModes: "bearer" authenticationRef: name: keda-trigger-auth-prometheus 1 The custom resource that you are targeting. In this case, the Ingress Controller. 2 Optional: The maximum number of replicas. If you omit this field, the default maximum is set to 100 replicas. 3 The Thanos service endpoint in the openshift-monitoring namespace. 4 The Ingress Operator namespace. 5 This expression evaluates to however many worker nodes are present in the deployed cluster. Important If you are using cross-namespace queries, you must target port 9091 and not port 9092 in the serverAddress field. You also must have elevated privileges to read metrics from this port. Apply the custom resource definition by running the following command: USD oc apply -f ingress-autoscaler.yaml Verification Verify that the default Ingress Controller is scaled out to match the value returned by the kube-state-metrics query by running the following commands: Use the grep command to search the Ingress Controller YAML file for replicas: USD oc get -n openshift-ingress-operator ingresscontroller/default -o yaml | grep replicas: Example output replicas: 3 Get the pods in the openshift-ingress project: USD oc get pods -n openshift-ingress Example output NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE router-default-7b5df44ff-l9pmm 2/2 Running 0 17h router-default-7b5df44ff-s5sl5 2/2 Running 0 3d22h router-default-7b5df44ff-wwsth 2/2 Running 0 66s Additional resources Installing the custom metrics autoscaler Enabling monitoring for user-defined projects Understanding custom metrics autoscaler trigger authentications Understanding custom metrics autoscaler triggers Understanding how to add custom metrics autoscalers 5.7.9.4. Scaling an Ingress Controller Manually scale an Ingress Controller to meeting routing performance or availability requirements such as the requirement to increase throughput. oc commands are used to scale the IngressController resource. The following procedure provides an example for scaling up the default IngressController . Note Scaling is not an immediate action, as it takes time to create the desired number of replicas. Procedure View the current number of available replicas for the default IngressController : USD oc get -n openshift-ingress-operator ingresscontrollers/default -o jsonpath='{USD.status.availableReplicas}' Example output 2 Scale the default IngressController to the desired number of replicas using the oc patch command. The following example scales the default IngressController to 3 replicas: USD oc patch -n openshift-ingress-operator ingresscontroller/default --patch '{"spec":{"replicas": 3}}' --type=merge Example output ingresscontroller.operator.openshift.io/default patched Verify that the default IngressController scaled to the number of replicas that you specified: USD oc get -n openshift-ingress-operator ingresscontrollers/default -o jsonpath='{USD.status.availableReplicas}' Example output 3 Tip You can alternatively apply the following YAML to scale an Ingress Controller to three replicas: apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController metadata: name: default namespace: openshift-ingress-operator spec: replicas: 3 1 1 If you need a different amount of replicas, change the replicas value. 5.7.9.5. Configuring Ingress access logging You can configure the Ingress Controller to enable access logs. If you have clusters that do not receive much traffic, then you can log to a sidecar. If you have high traffic clusters, to avoid exceeding the capacity of the logging stack or to integrate with a logging infrastructure outside of OpenShift Container Platform, you can forward logs to a custom syslog endpoint. You can also specify the format for access logs. Container logging is useful to enable access logs on low-traffic clusters when there is no existing Syslog logging infrastructure, or for short-term use while diagnosing problems with the Ingress Controller. Syslog is needed for high-traffic clusters where access logs could exceed the OpenShift Logging stack's capacity, or for environments where any logging solution needs to integrate with an existing Syslog logging infrastructure. The Syslog use-cases can overlap. Prerequisites Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Configure Ingress access logging to a sidecar. To configure Ingress access logging, you must specify a destination using spec.logging.access.destination . To specify logging to a sidecar container, you must specify Container spec.logging.access.destination.type . The following example is an Ingress Controller definition that logs to a Container destination: apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController metadata: name: default namespace: openshift-ingress-operator spec: replicas: 2 logging: access: destination: type: Container When you configure the Ingress Controller to log to a sidecar, the operator creates a container named logs inside the Ingress Controller Pod: USD oc -n openshift-ingress logs deployment.apps/router-default -c logs Example output 2020-05-11T19:11:50.135710+00:00 router-default-57dfc6cd95-bpmk6 router-default-57dfc6cd95-bpmk6 haproxy[108]: 174.19.21.82:39654 [11/May/2020:19:11:50.133] public be_http:hello-openshift:hello-openshift/pod:hello-openshift:hello-openshift:10.128.2.12:8080 0/0/1/0/1 200 142 - - --NI 1/1/0/0/0 0/0 "GET / HTTP/1.1" Configure Ingress access logging to a Syslog endpoint. To configure Ingress access logging, you must specify a destination using spec.logging.access.destination . To specify logging to a Syslog endpoint destination, you must specify Syslog for spec.logging.access.destination.type . If the destination type is Syslog , you must also specify a destination endpoint using spec.logging.access.destination.syslog.address and you can specify a facility using spec.logging.access.destination.syslog.facility . The following example is an Ingress Controller definition that logs to a Syslog destination: apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController metadata: name: default namespace: openshift-ingress-operator spec: replicas: 2 logging: access: destination: type: Syslog syslog: address: 1.2.3.4 port: 10514 Note The syslog destination port must be UDP. The syslog destination address must be an IP address. It does not support DNS hostname. Configure Ingress access logging with a specific log format. You can specify spec.logging.access.httpLogFormat to customize the log format. The following example is an Ingress Controller definition that logs to a syslog endpoint with IP address 1.2.3.4 and port 10514: apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController metadata: name: default namespace: openshift-ingress-operator spec: replicas: 2 logging: access: destination: type: Syslog syslog: address: 1.2.3.4 port: 10514 httpLogFormat: '%ci:%cp [%t] %ft %b/%s %B %bq %HM %HU %HV' Disable Ingress access logging. To disable Ingress access logging, leave spec.logging or spec.logging.access empty: apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController metadata: name: default namespace: openshift-ingress-operator spec: replicas: 2 logging: access: null Allow the Ingress Controller to modify the HAProxy log length when using a sidecar. Use spec.logging.access.destination.syslog.maxLength if you are using spec.logging.access.destination.type: Syslog . apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController metadata: name: default namespace: openshift-ingress-operator spec: replicas: 2 logging: access: destination: type: Syslog syslog: address: 1.2.3.4 maxLength: 4096 port: 10514 Use spec.logging.access.destination.container.maxLength if you are using spec.logging.access.destination.type: Container . apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController metadata: name: default namespace: openshift-ingress-operator spec: replicas: 2 logging: access: destination: type: Container container: maxLength: 8192 5.7.9.6. Setting Ingress Controller thread count A cluster administrator can set the thread count to increase the amount of incoming connections a cluster can handle. You can patch an existing Ingress Controller to increase the amount of threads. Prerequisites The following assumes that you already created an Ingress Controller. Procedure Update the Ingress Controller to increase the number of threads: USD oc -n openshift-ingress-operator patch ingresscontroller/default --type=merge -p '{"spec":{"tuningOptions": {"threadCount": 8}}}' Note If you have a node that is capable of running large amounts of resources, you can configure spec.nodePlacement.nodeSelector with labels that match the capacity of the intended node, and configure spec.tuningOptions.threadCount to an appropriately high value. 5.7.9.7. Configuring an Ingress Controller to use an internal load balancer When creating an Ingress Controller on cloud platforms, the Ingress Controller is published by a public cloud load balancer by default. As an administrator, you can create an Ingress Controller that uses an internal cloud load balancer. Warning If your cloud provider is Microsoft Azure, you must have at least one public load balancer that points to your nodes. If you do not, all of your nodes will lose egress connectivity to the internet. Important If you want to change the scope for an IngressController , you can change the .spec.endpointPublishingStrategy.loadBalancer.scope parameter after the custom resource (CR) is created. Figure 5.2. Diagram of LoadBalancer The preceding graphic shows the following concepts pertaining to OpenShift Container Platform Ingress LoadBalancerService endpoint publishing strategy: You can load balance externally, using the cloud provider load balancer, or internally, using the OpenShift Ingress Controller Load Balancer. You can use the single IP address of the load balancer and more familiar ports, such as 8080 and 4200 as shown on the cluster depicted in the graphic. Traffic from the external load balancer is directed at the pods, and managed by the load balancer, as depicted in the instance of a down node. See the Kubernetes Services documentation for implementation details. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Create an IngressController custom resource (CR) in a file named <name>-ingress-controller.yaml , such as in the following example: apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController metadata: namespace: openshift-ingress-operator name: <name> 1 spec: domain: <domain> 2 endpointPublishingStrategy: type: LoadBalancerService loadBalancer: scope: Internal 3 1 Replace <name> with a name for the IngressController object. 2 Specify the domain for the application published by the controller. 3 Specify a value of Internal to use an internal load balancer. Create the Ingress Controller defined in the step by running the following command: USD oc create -f <name>-ingress-controller.yaml 1 1 Replace <name> with the name of the IngressController object. Optional: Confirm that the Ingress Controller was created by running the following command: USD oc --all-namespaces=true get ingresscontrollers 5.7.9.8. Configuring global access for an Ingress Controller on GCP An Ingress Controller created on GCP with an internal load balancer generates an internal IP address for the service. A cluster administrator can specify the global access option, which enables clients in any region within the same VPC network and compute region as the load balancer, to reach the workloads running on your cluster. For more information, see the GCP documentation for global access . Prerequisites You deployed an OpenShift Container Platform cluster on GCP infrastructure. You configured an Ingress Controller to use an internal load balancer. You installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Procedure Configure the Ingress Controller resource to allow global access. Note You can also create an Ingress Controller and specify the global access option. Configure the Ingress Controller resource: USD oc -n openshift-ingress-operator edit ingresscontroller/default Edit the YAML file: Sample clientAccess configuration to Global spec: endpointPublishingStrategy: loadBalancer: providerParameters: gcp: clientAccess: Global 1 type: GCP scope: Internal type: LoadBalancerService 1 Set gcp.clientAccess to Global . Save the file to apply the changes. Run the following command to verify that the service allows global access: USD oc -n openshift-ingress edit svc/router-default -o yaml The output shows that global access is enabled for GCP with the annotation, networking.gke.io/internal-load-balancer-allow-global-access . 5.7.9.9. Setting the Ingress Controller health check interval A cluster administrator can set the health check interval to define how long the router waits between two consecutive health checks. This value is applied globally as a default for all routes. The default value is 5 seconds. Prerequisites The following assumes that you already created an Ingress Controller. Procedure Update the Ingress Controller to change the interval between back end health checks: USD oc -n openshift-ingress-operator patch ingresscontroller/default --type=merge -p '{"spec":{"tuningOptions": {"healthCheckInterval": "8s"}}}' Note To override the healthCheckInterval for a single route, use the route annotation router.openshift.io/haproxy.health.check.interval 5.7.9.10. Configuring the default Ingress Controller for your cluster to be internal You can configure the default Ingress Controller for your cluster to be internal by deleting and recreating it. Warning If your cloud provider is Microsoft Azure, you must have at least one public load balancer that points to your nodes. If you do not, all of your nodes will lose egress connectivity to the internet. Important If you want to change the scope for an IngressController , you can change the .spec.endpointPublishingStrategy.loadBalancer.scope parameter after the custom resource (CR) is created. Prerequisites Install the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). Log in as a user with cluster-admin privileges. Procedure Configure the default Ingress Controller for your cluster to be internal by deleting and recreating it. USD oc replace --force --wait --filename - <<EOF apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController metadata: namespace: openshift-ingress-operator name: default spec: endpointPublishingStrategy: type: LoadBalancerService loadBalancer: scope: Internal EOF 5.7.9.11. Configuring the route admission policy Administrators and application developers can run applications in multiple namespaces with the same domain name. This is for organizations where multiple teams develop microservices that are exposed on the same hostname. Warning Allowing claims across namespaces should only be enabled for clusters with trust between namespaces, otherwise a malicious user could take over a hostname. For this reason, the default admission policy disallows hostname claims across namespaces. Prerequisites Cluster administrator privileges. Procedure Edit the .spec.routeAdmission field of the ingresscontroller resource variable using the following command: USD oc -n openshift-ingress-operator patch ingresscontroller/default --patch '{"spec":{"routeAdmission":{"namespaceOwnership":"InterNamespaceAllowed"}}}' --type=merge Sample Ingress Controller configuration spec: routeAdmission: namespaceOwnership: InterNamespaceAllowed ... Tip You can alternatively apply the following YAML to configure the route admission policy: apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController metadata: name: default namespace: openshift-ingress-operator spec: routeAdmission: namespaceOwnership: InterNamespaceAllowed 5.7.9.12. Using wildcard routes The HAProxy Ingress Controller has support for wildcard routes. The Ingress Operator uses wildcardPolicy to configure the ROUTER_ALLOW_WILDCARD_ROUTES environment variable of the Ingress Controller. The default behavior of the Ingress Controller is to admit routes with a wildcard policy of None , which is backwards compatible with existing IngressController resources. Procedure Configure the wildcard policy. Use the following command to edit the IngressController resource: USD oc edit IngressController Under spec , set the wildcardPolicy field to WildcardsDisallowed or WildcardsAllowed : spec: routeAdmission: wildcardPolicy: WildcardsDisallowed # or WildcardsAllowed 5.7.9.13. HTTP header configuration OpenShift Container Platform provides different methods for working with HTTP headers. When setting or deleting headers, you can use specific fields in the Ingress Controller or an individual route to modify request and response headers. You can also set certain headers by using route annotations. The various ways of configuring headers can present challenges when working together. Note You can only set or delete headers within an IngressController or Route CR, you cannot append them. If an HTTP header is set with a value, that value must be complete and not require appending in the future. In situations where it makes sense to append a header, such as the X-Forwarded-For header, use the spec.httpHeaders.forwardedHeaderPolicy field, instead of spec.httpHeaders.actions . 5.7.9.13.1. Order of precedence When the same HTTP header is modified both in the Ingress Controller and in a route, HAProxy prioritizes the actions in certain ways depending on whether it is a request or response header. For HTTP response headers, actions specified in the Ingress Controller are executed after the actions specified in a route. This means that the actions specified in the Ingress Controller take precedence. For HTTP request headers, actions specified in a route are executed after the actions specified in the Ingress Controller. This means that the actions specified in the route take precedence. For example, a cluster administrator sets the X-Frame-Options response header with the value DENY in the Ingress Controller using the following configuration: Example IngressController spec apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController # ... spec: httpHeaders: actions: response: - name: X-Frame-Options action: type: Set set: value: DENY A route owner sets the same response header that the cluster administrator set in the Ingress Controller, but with the value SAMEORIGIN using the following configuration: Example Route spec apiVersion: route.openshift.io/v1 kind: Route # ... spec: httpHeaders: actions: response: - name: X-Frame-Options action: type: Set set: value: SAMEORIGIN When both the IngressController spec and Route spec are configuring the X-Frame-Options response header, then the value set for this header at the global level in the Ingress Controller takes precedence, even if a specific route allows frames. For a request header, the Route spec value overrides the IngressController spec value. This prioritization occurs because the haproxy.config file uses the following logic, where the Ingress Controller is considered the front end and individual routes are considered the back end. The header value DENY applied to the front end configurations overrides the same header with the value SAMEORIGIN that is set in the back end: frontend public http-response set-header X-Frame-Options 'DENY' frontend fe_sni http-response set-header X-Frame-Options 'DENY' frontend fe_no_sni http-response set-header X-Frame-Options 'DENY' backend be_secure:openshift-monitoring:alertmanager-main http-response set-header X-Frame-Options 'SAMEORIGIN' Additionally, any actions defined in either the Ingress Controller or a route override values set using route annotations. 5.7.9.13.2. Special case headers The following headers are either prevented entirely from being set or deleted, or allowed under specific circumstances: Table 5.14. Special case header configuration options Header name Configurable using IngressController spec Configurable using Route spec Reason for disallowment Configurable using another method proxy No No The proxy HTTP request header can be used to exploit vulnerable CGI applications by injecting the header value into the HTTP_PROXY environment variable. The proxy HTTP request header is also non-standard and prone to error during configuration. No host No Yes When the host HTTP request header is set using the IngressController CR, HAProxy can fail when looking up the correct route. No strict-transport-security No No The strict-transport-security HTTP response header is already handled using route annotations and does not need a separate implementation. Yes: the haproxy.router.openshift.io/hsts_header route annotation cookie and set-cookie No No The cookies that HAProxy sets are used for session tracking to map client connections to particular back-end servers. Allowing these headers to be set could interfere with HAProxy's session affinity and restrict HAProxy's ownership of a cookie. Yes: the haproxy.router.openshift.io/disable_cookie route annotation the haproxy.router.openshift.io/cookie_name route annotation 5.7.9.14. Setting or deleting HTTP request and response headers in an Ingress Controller You can set or delete certain HTTP request and response headers for compliance purposes or other reasons. You can set or delete these headers either for all routes served by an Ingress Controller or for specific routes. For example, you might want to migrate an application running on your cluster to use mutual TLS, which requires that your application checks for an X-Forwarded-Client-Cert request header, but the OpenShift Container Platform default Ingress Controller provides an X-SSL-Client-Der request header. The following procedure modifies the Ingress Controller to set the X-Forwarded-Client-Cert request header, and delete the X-SSL-Client-Der request header. Prerequisites You have installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You have access to an OpenShift Container Platform cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. Procedure Edit the Ingress Controller resource: USD oc -n openshift-ingress-operator edit ingresscontroller/default Replace the X-SSL-Client-Der HTTP request header with the X-Forwarded-Client-Cert HTTP request header: apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController metadata: name: default namespace: openshift-ingress-operator spec: httpHeaders: actions: 1 request: 2 - name: X-Forwarded-Client-Cert 3 action: type: Set 4 set: value: "%{+Q}[ssl_c_der,base64]" 5 - name: X-SSL-Client-Der action: type: Delete 1 The list of actions you want to perform on the HTTP headers. 2 The type of header you want to change. In this case, a request header. 3 The name of the header you want to change. For a list of available headers you can set or delete, see HTTP header configuration . 4 The type of action being taken on the header. This field can have the value Set or Delete . 5 When setting HTTP headers, you must provide a value . The value can be a string from a list of available directives for that header, for example DENY , or it can be a dynamic value that will be interpreted using HAProxy's dynamic value syntax. In this case, a dynamic value is added. Note For setting dynamic header values for HTTP responses, allowed sample fetchers are res.hdr and ssl_c_der . For setting dynamic header values for HTTP requests, allowed sample fetchers are req.hdr and ssl_c_der . Both request and response dynamic values can use the lower and base64 converters. Save the file to apply the changes. 5.7.9.15. Using X-Forwarded headers You configure the HAProxy Ingress Controller to specify a policy for how to handle HTTP headers including Forwarded and X-Forwarded-For . The Ingress Operator uses the HTTPHeaders field to configure the ROUTER_SET_FORWARDED_HEADERS environment variable of the Ingress Controller. Procedure Configure the HTTPHeaders field for the Ingress Controller. Use the following command to edit the IngressController resource: USD oc edit IngressController Under spec , set the HTTPHeaders policy field to Append , Replace , IfNone , or Never : apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController metadata: name: default namespace: openshift-ingress-operator spec: httpHeaders: forwardedHeaderPolicy: Append Example use cases As a cluster administrator, you can: Configure an external proxy that injects the X-Forwarded-For header into each request before forwarding it to an Ingress Controller. To configure the Ingress Controller to pass the header through unmodified, you specify the never policy. The Ingress Controller then never sets the headers, and applications receive only the headers that the external proxy provides. Configure the Ingress Controller to pass the X-Forwarded-For header that your external proxy sets on external cluster requests through unmodified. To configure the Ingress Controller to set the X-Forwarded-For header on internal cluster requests, which do not go through the external proxy, specify the if-none policy. If an HTTP request already has the header set through the external proxy, then the Ingress Controller preserves it. If the header is absent because the request did not come through the proxy, then the Ingress Controller adds the header. As an application developer, you can: Configure an application-specific external proxy that injects the X-Forwarded-For header. To configure an Ingress Controller to pass the header through unmodified for an application's Route, without affecting the policy for other Routes, add an annotation haproxy.router.openshift.io/set-forwarded-headers: if-none or haproxy.router.openshift.io/set-forwarded-headers: never on the Route for the application. Note You can set the haproxy.router.openshift.io/set-forwarded-headers annotation on a per route basis, independent from the globally set value for the Ingress Controller. 5.7.9.16. Enabling and disabling HTTP/2 on Ingress Controllers You can enable or disable transparent end-to-end HTTP/2 connectivity in HAProxy. This allows application owners to make use of HTTP/2 protocol capabilities, including single connection, header compression, binary streams, and more. You can enable or disable HTTP/2 connectivity for an individual Ingress Controller or for the entire cluster. To enable the use of HTTP/2 for the connection from the client to HAProxy, a route must specify a custom certificate. A route that uses the default certificate cannot use HTTP/2. This restriction is necessary to avoid problems from connection coalescing, where the client re-uses a connection for different routes that use the same certificate. The connection from HAProxy to the application pod can use HTTP/2 only for re-encrypt routes and not for edge-terminated or insecure routes. This restriction is because HAProxy uses Application-Level Protocol Negotiation (ALPN), which is a TLS extension, to negotiate the use of HTTP/2 with the back-end. The implication is that end-to-end HTTP/2 is possible with passthrough and re-encrypt and not with edge-terminated routes. Note You can use HTTP/2 with an insecure route whether the Ingress Controller has HTTP/2 enabled or disabled. Important For non-passthrough routes, the Ingress Controller negotiates its connection to the application independently of the connection from the client. This means a client may connect to the Ingress Controller and negotiate HTTP/1.1, and the Ingress Controller might then connect to the application, negotiate HTTP/2, and forward the request from the client HTTP/1.1 connection using the HTTP/2 connection to the application. This poses a problem if the client subsequently tries to upgrade its connection from HTTP/1.1 to the WebSocket protocol, because the Ingress Controller cannot forward WebSocket to HTTP/2 and cannot upgrade its HTTP/2 connection to WebSocket. Consequently, if you have an application that is intended to accept WebSocket connections, it must not allow negotiating the HTTP/2 protocol or else clients will fail to upgrade to the WebSocket protocol. 5.7.9.16.1. Enabling HTTP/2 You can enable HTTP/2 on a specific Ingress Controller, or you can enable HTTP/2 for the entire cluster. Procedure To enable HTTP/2 on a specific Ingress Controller, enter the oc annotate command: USD oc -n openshift-ingress-operator annotate ingresscontrollers/<ingresscontroller_name> ingress.operator.openshift.io/default-enable-http2=true 1 1 Replace <ingresscontroller_name> with the name of an Ingress Controller to enable HTTP/2. To enable HTTP/2 for the entire cluster, enter the oc annotate command: USD oc annotate ingresses.config/cluster ingress.operator.openshift.io/default-enable-http2=true Tip Alternatively, you can apply the following YAML code to enable HTTP/2: apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1 kind: Ingress metadata: name: cluster annotations: ingress.operator.openshift.io/default-enable-http2: "true" 5.7.9.16.2. Disabling HTTP/2 You can disable HTTP/2 on a specific Ingress Controller, or you can disable HTTP/2 for the entire cluster. Procedure To disable HTTP/2 on a specific Ingress Controller, enter the oc annotate command: USD oc -n openshift-ingress-operator annotate ingresscontrollers/<ingresscontroller_name> ingress.operator.openshift.io/default-enable-http2=false 1 1 Replace <ingresscontroller_name> with the name of an Ingress Controller to disable HTTP/2. To disable HTTP/2 for the entire cluster, enter the oc annotate command: USD oc annotate ingresses.config/cluster ingress.operator.openshift.io/default-enable-http2=false Tip Alternatively, you can apply the following YAML code to disable HTTP/2: apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1 kind: Ingress metadata: name: cluster annotations: ingress.operator.openshift.io/default-enable-http2: "false" 5.7.9.17. Configuring the PROXY protocol for an Ingress Controller A cluster administrator can configure the PROXY protocol when an Ingress Controller uses either the HostNetwork , NodePortService , or Private endpoint publishing strategy types. The PROXY protocol enables the load balancer to preserve the original client addresses for connections that the Ingress Controller receives. The original client addresses are useful for logging, filtering, and injecting HTTP headers. In the default configuration, the connections that the Ingress Controller receives only contain the source address that is associated with the load balancer. Warning The default Ingress Controller with installer-provisioned clusters on non-cloud platforms that use a Keepalived Ingress Virtual IP (VIP) do not support the PROXY protocol. The PROXY protocol enables the load balancer to preserve the original client addresses for connections that the Ingress Controller receives. The original client addresses are useful for logging, filtering, and injecting HTTP headers. In the default configuration, the connections that the Ingress Controller receives contain only the source IP address that is associated with the load balancer. Important For a passthrough route configuration, servers in OpenShift Container Platform clusters cannot observe the original client source IP address. If you need to know the original client source IP address, configure Ingress access logging for your Ingress Controller so that you can view the client source IP addresses. For re-encrypt and edge routes, the OpenShift Container Platform router sets the Forwarded and X-Forwarded-For headers so that application workloads check the client source IP address. For more information about Ingress access logging, see "Configuring Ingress access logging". Configuring the PROXY protocol for an Ingress Controller is not supported when using the LoadBalancerService endpoint publishing strategy type. This restriction is because when OpenShift Container Platform runs in a cloud platform, and an Ingress Controller specifies that a service load balancer should be used, the Ingress Operator configures the load balancer service and enables the PROXY protocol based on the platform requirement for preserving source addresses. Important You must configure both OpenShift Container Platform and the external load balancer to use either the PROXY protocol or TCP. This feature is not supported in cloud deployments. This restriction is because when OpenShift Container Platform runs in a cloud platform, and an Ingress Controller specifies that a service load balancer should be used, the Ingress Operator configures the load balancer service and enables the PROXY protocol based on the platform requirement for preserving source addresses. Important You must configure both OpenShift Container Platform and the external load balancer to either use the PROXY protocol or to use Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Prerequisites You created an Ingress Controller. Procedure Edit the Ingress Controller resource by entering the following command in your CLI: USD oc -n openshift-ingress-operator edit ingresscontroller/default Set the PROXY configuration: If your Ingress Controller uses the HostNetwork endpoint publishing strategy type, set the spec.endpointPublishingStrategy.hostNetwork.protocol subfield to PROXY : Sample hostNetwork configuration to PROXY # ... spec: endpointPublishingStrategy: hostNetwork: protocol: PROXY type: HostNetwork # ... If your Ingress Controller uses the NodePortService endpoint publishing strategy type, set the spec.endpointPublishingStrategy.nodePort.protocol subfield to PROXY : Sample nodePort configuration to PROXY # ... spec: endpointPublishingStrategy: nodePort: protocol: PROXY type: NodePortService # ... If your Ingress Controller uses the Private endpoint publishing strategy type, set the spec.endpointPublishingStrategy.private.protocol subfield to PROXY : Sample private configuration to PROXY # ... spec: endpointPublishingStrategy: private: protocol: PROXY type: Private # ... Additional resources Configuring Ingress access logging 5.7.9.18. Specifying an alternative cluster domain using the appsDomain option As a cluster administrator, you can specify an alternative to the default cluster domain for user-created routes by configuring the appsDomain field. The appsDomain field is an optional domain for OpenShift Container Platform to use instead of the default, which is specified in the domain field. If you specify an alternative domain, it overrides the default cluster domain for the purpose of determining the default host for a new route. For example, you can use the DNS domain for your company as the default domain for routes and ingresses for applications running on your cluster. Prerequisites You deployed an OpenShift Container Platform cluster. You installed the oc command line interface. Procedure Configure the appsDomain field by specifying an alternative default domain for user-created routes. Edit the ingress cluster resource: USD oc edit ingresses.config/cluster -o yaml Edit the YAML file: Sample appsDomain configuration to test.example.com apiVersion: config.openshift.io/v1 kind: Ingress metadata: name: cluster spec: domain: apps.example.com 1 appsDomain: <test.example.com> 2 1 Specifies the default domain. You cannot modify the default domain after installation. 2 Optional: Domain for OpenShift Container Platform infrastructure to use for application routes. Instead of the default prefix, apps , you can use an alternative prefix like test . Verify that an existing route contains the domain name specified in the appsDomain field by exposing the route and verifying the route domain change: Note Wait for the openshift-apiserver finish rolling updates before exposing the route. Expose the route: USD oc expose service hello-openshift route.route.openshift.io/hello-openshift exposed Example output USD oc get routes NAME HOST/PORT PATH SERVICES PORT TERMINATION WILDCARD hello-openshift hello_openshift-<my_project>.test.example.com hello-openshift 8080-tcp None 5.7.9.19. Converting HTTP header case HAProxy lowercases HTTP header names by default; for example, changing Host: xyz.com to host: xyz.com . If legacy applications are sensitive to the capitalization of HTTP header names, use the Ingress Controller spec.httpHeaders.headerNameCaseAdjustments API field for a solution to accommodate legacy applications until they can be fixed. Important OpenShift Container Platform includes HAProxy 2.8. If you want to update to this version of the web-based load balancer, ensure that you add the spec.httpHeaders.headerNameCaseAdjustments section to your cluster's configuration file. As a cluster administrator, you can convert the HTTP header case by entering the oc patch command or by setting the HeaderNameCaseAdjustments field in the Ingress Controller YAML file. Prerequisites You have installed the OpenShift CLI ( oc ). You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. Procedure Capitalize an HTTP header by using the oc patch command. Change the HTTP header from host to Host by running the following command: USD oc -n openshift-ingress-operator patch ingresscontrollers/default --type=merge --patch='{"spec":{"httpHeaders":{"headerNameCaseAdjustments":["Host"]}}}' Create a Route resource YAML file so that the annotation can be applied to the application. Example of a route named my-application apiVersion: route.openshift.io/v1 kind: Route metadata: annotations: haproxy.router.openshift.io/h1-adjust-case: true 1 name: <application_name> namespace: <application_name> # ... 1 Set haproxy.router.openshift.io/h1-adjust-case so that the Ingress Controller can adjust the host request header as specified. Specify adjustments by configuring the HeaderNameCaseAdjustments field in the Ingress Controller YAML configuration file. The following example Ingress Controller YAML file adjusts the host header to Host for HTTP/1 requests to appropriately annotated routes: Example Ingress Controller YAML apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController metadata: name: default namespace: openshift-ingress-operator spec: httpHeaders: headerNameCaseAdjustments: - Host The following example route enables HTTP response header name case adjustments by using the haproxy.router.openshift.io/h1-adjust-case annotation: Example route YAML apiVersion: route.openshift.io/v1 kind: Route metadata: annotations: haproxy.router.openshift.io/h1-adjust-case: true 1 name: my-application namespace: my-application spec: to: kind: Service name: my-application 1 Set haproxy.router.openshift.io/h1-adjust-case to true. 5.7.9.20. Using router compression You configure the HAProxy Ingress Controller to specify router compression globally for specific MIME types. You can use the mimeTypes variable to define the formats of MIME types to which compression is applied. The types are: application, image, message, multipart, text, video, or a custom type prefaced by "X-". To see the full notation for MIME types and subtypes, see RFC1341 . Note Memory allocated for compression can affect the max connections. Additionally, compression of large buffers can cause latency, like heavy regex or long lists of regex. Not all MIME types benefit from compression, but HAProxy still uses resources to try to compress if instructed to. Generally, text formats, such as html, css, and js, formats benefit from compression, but formats that are already compressed, such as image, audio, and video, benefit little in exchange for the time and resources spent on compression. Procedure Configure the httpCompression field for the Ingress Controller. Use the following command to edit the IngressController resource: USD oc edit -n openshift-ingress-operator ingresscontrollers/default Under spec , set the httpCompression policy field to mimeTypes and specify a list of MIME types that should have compression applied: apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1 kind: IngressController metadata: name: default namespace: openshift-ingress-operator spec: httpCompression: mimeTypes: - "text/html" - "text/css; charset=utf-8" - "application/json" ... 5.7.9.21. Exposing router metrics You can expose the HAProxy router metrics by default in Prometheus format on the default stats port, 1936. The external metrics collection and aggregation systems such as Prometheus can access the HAProxy router metrics. You can view the HAProxy router metrics in a browser in the HTML and comma separated values (CSV) format. Prerequisites You configured your firewall to access the default stats port, 1936. Procedure Get the router pod name by running the following command: USD oc get pods -n openshift-ingress Example output NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE router-default-76bfffb66c-46qwp 1/1 Running 0 11h Get the router's username and password, which the router pod stores in the /var/lib/haproxy/conf/metrics-auth/statsUsername and /var/lib/haproxy/conf/metrics-auth/statsPassword files: Get the username by running the following command: USD oc rsh <router_pod_name> cat metrics-auth/statsUsername Get the password by running the following command: USD oc rsh <router_pod_name> cat metrics-auth/statsPassword Get the router IP and metrics certificates by running the following command: USD oc describe pod <router_pod> Get the raw statistics in Prometheus format by running the following command: USD curl -u <user>:<password> http://<router_IP>:<stats_port>/metrics Access the metrics securely by running the following command: USD curl -u user:password https://<router_IP>:<stats_port>/metrics -k Access the default stats port, 1936, by running the following command: USD curl -u <user>:<password> http://<router_IP>:<stats_port>/metrics Example 5.1.

Customizing HAProxy error code response pages As a cluster administrator, you can specify a custom error code response page for either 503, 404, or both error pages. The HAProxy router serves a 503 error page when the application pod is not running or a 404 error page when the requested URL does not exist. For example, if you customize the 503 error code response page, then the page is served when the application pod is not running, and the default 404 error code HTTP response page is served by the HAProxy router for an incorrect route or a non-existing route. Custom error code response pages are specified in a config map then patched to the Ingress Controller. The config map keys have two available file names as follows: error-page-503.http and error-page-404.http . Custom HTTP error code response pages must follow the HAProxy HTTP error page configuration guidelines . Here is an example of the default OpenShift Container Platform HAProxy router http 503 error code response page . You can use the default content as a template for creating your own custom page. By default, the HAProxy router serves only a 503 error page when the application is not running or when the route is incorrect or non-existent. This default behavior is the same as the behavior on OpenShift Container Platform 4.8 and earlier. If a config map for the customization of an HTTP error code response is not provided, and you are using a custom HTTP error code response page, the router serves a default 404 or 503 error code response page. Note If you use the OpenShift Container Platform default 503 error code page as a template for your customizations, the headers in the file require an editor that can use CRLF line endings. Procedure Create a config map named my-custom-error-code-pages in the openshift-config namespace: USD oc -n openshift-config create configmap my-custom-error-code-pages \ --from-file=error-page-503.http \ --from-file=error-page-404.http Important If you do not specify the correct format for the custom error code response page, a router pod outage occurs. To resolve this outage, you must delete or correct the config map and delete the affected router pods so they can be recreated with the correct information. Patch the Ingress Controller to reference the my-custom-error-code-pages config map by name: USD oc patch -n openshift-ingress-operator ingresscontroller/default --patch '{"spec":{"httpErrorCodePages":{"name":"my-custom-error-code-pages"}}}' --type=merge The Ingress Operator copies the my-custom-error-code-pages config map from the openshift-config namespace to the openshift-ingress namespace. The Operator names the config map according to the pattern, <your_ingresscontroller_name>-errorpages , in the openshift-ingress namespace. Display the copy: USD oc get cm default-errorpages -n openshift-ingress Example output 1 The example config map name is default-errorpages because the default Ingress Controller custom resource (CR) was patched. Confirm that the config map containing the custom error response page mounts on the router volume where the config map key is the filename that has the custom HTTP error code response: For 503 custom HTTP custom error code response: USD oc -n openshift-ingress rsh <router_pod> cat /var/lib/haproxy/conf/error_code_pages/error-page-503.http For 404 custom HTTP custom error code response: USD oc -n openshift-ingress rsh <router_pod> cat /var/lib/haproxy/conf/error_code_pages/error-page-404.http Verification Verify your custom error code HTTP response: Create a test project and application: USD oc new-project test-ingress USD oc new-app django-psql-example For 503 custom http error code response: Stop all the pods for the application. Run the following curl command or visit the route hostname in the browser: USD curl -vk <route_hostname> For 404 custom http error code response: Visit a non-existent route or an incorrect route. Run the following curl command or visit the route hostname in the browser: USD curl -vk <route_hostname> Check if the errorfile attribute is properly in the haproxy.config file: USD oc -n openshift-ingress rsh <router> cat /var/lib/haproxy/conf/haproxy.config | grep errorfile 5.7.9.23. Setting the Ingress Controller maximum connections A cluster administrator can set the maximum number of simultaneous connections for OpenShift router deployments. You can patch an existing Ingress Controller to increase the maximum number of connections. Prerequisites The following assumes that you already created an Ingress Controller Procedure Update the Ingress Controller to change the maximum number of connections for HAProxy: USD oc -n openshift-ingress-operator patch ingresscontroller/default --type=merge -p '{"spec":{"tuningOptions": {"maxConnections": 7500}}}' Warning If you set the spec.tuningOptions.maxConnections value greater than the current operating system limit, the HAProxy process will not start. See the table in the "Ingress Controller configuration parameters" section for more information about this parameter. 5.7.10. Additional resources Configuring a custom PKI 5.8. Ingress Node Firewall Operator in OpenShift Container Platform The Ingress Node Firewall Operator provides a stateless, eBPF-based firewall for managing node-level ingress traffic in OpenShift Container Platform. 5.8.1. Ingress Node Firewall Operator The Ingress Node Firewall Operator provides ingress firewall rules at a node level by deploying the daemon set to nodes you specify and manage in the firewall configurations. To deploy the daemon set, you create an IngressNodeFirewallConfig custom resource (CR). The Operator applies the IngressNodeFirewallConfig CR to create ingress node firewall daemon set daemon , which run on all nodes that match the nodeSelector . You configure rules of the IngressNodeFirewall CR and apply them to clusters using the nodeSelector and setting values to "true". Important The Ingress Node Firewall Operator supports only stateless firewall rules. Network interface controllers (NICs) that do not support native XDP drivers will run at a lower performance. For OpenShift Container Platform 4.14 or later, you must run Ingress Node Firewall Operator on RHEL 9.0 or later. 5.8.2. Installing the Ingress Node Firewall Operator As a cluster administrator, you can install the Ingress Node Firewall Operator by using the OpenShift Container Platform CLI or the web console. 5.8.2.1.

If the annotation is missing, you can add the annotation workload.openshift.io/allowed=management to the Operator namespace with the following command: USD oc annotate ns/openshift-ingress-node-firewall workload.openshift.io/allowed=management Note For single-node OpenShift clusters, the openshift-ingress-node-firewall namespace requires the workload.openshift.io/allowed=management annotation. 5.8.3. Deploying Ingress Node Firewall Operator Prerequisite The Ingress Node Firewall Operator is installed. Procedure To deploy the Ingress Node Firewall Operator, create a IngressNodeFirewallConfig custom resource that will deploy the Operator's daemon set. You can deploy one or multiple IngressNodeFirewall CRDs to nodes by applying firewall rules. Create the IngressNodeFirewallConfig inside the openshift-ingress-node-firewall namespace named ingressnodefirewallconfig . Run the following command to deploy Ingress Node Firewall Operator rules: USD oc apply -f rule.yaml 5.8.3.1. Ingress Node Firewall configuration object The fields for the Ingress Node Firewall configuration object are described in the following table: Table 5.15. Ingress Node Firewall Configuration object Field Type Description metadata.name string The name of the CR object. The name of the firewall rules object must be ingressnodefirewallconfig . metadata.namespace string Namespace for the Ingress Firewall Operator CR object. The IngressNodeFirewallConfig CR must be created inside the openshift-ingress-node-firewall namespace. spec.nodeSelector string A node selection constraint used to target nodes through specified node labels. For example: spec: nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/worker: "" Note One label used in nodeSelector must match a label on the nodes in order for the daemon set to start. For example, if the node labels node-role.kubernetes.io/worker and node-type.kubernetes.io/vm are applied to a node, then at least one label must be set using nodeSelector for the daemon set to start. Note The Operator consumes the CR and creates an ingress node firewall daemon set on all the nodes that match the nodeSelector . Ingress Node Firewall Operator example configuration A complete Ingress Node Firewall Configuration is specified in the following example: Example Ingress Node Firewall Configuration object apiVersion: ingressnodefirewall.openshift.io/v1alpha1 kind: IngressNodeFirewallConfig metadata: name: ingressnodefirewallconfig namespace: openshift-ingress-node-firewall spec: nodeSelector: node-role.kubernetes.io/worker: "" Note The Operator consumes the CR and creates an ingress node firewall daemon set on all the nodes that match the nodeSelector . 5.8.3.2. Ingress Node Firewall rules object The fields for the Ingress Node Firewall rules object are described in the following table: Table 5.16. Ingress Node Firewall rules object Field Type Description metadata.name string The name of the CR object. interfaces array The fields for this object specify the interfaces to apply the firewall rules to. For example, - en0 and - en1 . nodeSelector array You can use nodeSelector to select the nodes to apply the firewall rules to. Set the value of your named nodeselector labels to true to apply the rule. ingress object ingress allows you to configure the rules that allow outside access to the services on your cluster. Ingress object configuration The values for the ingress object are defined in the following table: Table 5.17. ingress object Field Type Description sourceCIDRs array Allows you to set the CIDR block. You can configure multiple CIDRs from different address families. Note Different CIDRs allow you to use the same order rule. In the case that there are multiple IngressNodeFirewall objects for the same nodes and interfaces with overlapping CIDRs, the order field will specify which rule is applied first. Rules are applied in ascending order. rules array Ingress firewall rules.order objects are ordered starting at 1 for each source.CIDR with up to 100 rules per CIDR. Lower order rules are executed first. rules.protocolConfig.protocol supports the following protocols: TCP, UDP, SCTP, ICMP and ICMPv6. ICMP and ICMPv6 rules can match against ICMP and ICMPv6 types or codes. TCP, UDP, and SCTP rules can match against a single destination port or a range of ports using <start : end-1> format. Set rules.action to allow to apply the rule or deny to disallow the rule. Note Ingress firewall rules are verified using a verification webhook that blocks any invalid configuration. The verification webhook prevents you from blocking any critical cluster services such as the API server. Ingress Node Firewall rules object example A complete Ingress Node Firewall configuration is specified in the following example: Example Ingress Node Firewall configuration apiVersion: ingressnodefirewall.openshift.io/v1alpha1 kind: IngressNodeFirewall metadata: name: ingressnodefirewall spec: interfaces: - eth0 nodeSelector: matchLabels: <ingress_firewall_label_name>: <label_value> 1 ingress: - sourceCIDRs: - 172.16.0.0/12 rules: - order: 10 protocolConfig: protocol: ICMP icmp: icmpType: 8 #ICMP Echo request action: Deny - order: 20 protocolConfig: protocol: TCP tcp: ports: "8000-9000" action: Deny - sourceCIDRs: - fc00:f853:ccd:e793::0/64 rules: - order: 10 protocolConfig: protocol: ICMPv6 icmpv6: icmpType: 128 #ICMPV6 Echo request action: Deny 1 A <label_name> and a <label_value> must exist on the node and must match the nodeselector label and value applied to the nodes you want the ingressfirewallconfig CR to run on. The <label_value> can be true or false . By using nodeSelector labels, you can target separate groups of nodes to apply different rules to using the ingressfirewallconfig CR. Zero trust Ingress Node Firewall rules object example Zero trust Ingress Node Firewall rules can provide additional security to multi-interface clusters. For example, you can use zero trust Ingress Node Firewall rules to drop all traffic on a specific interface except for SSH. A complete configuration of a zero trust Ingress Node Firewall rule set is specified in the following example: Important Users need to add all ports their application will use to their allowlist in the following case to ensure proper functionality.
