# Route Traffic to Peered Services
|
|
|
|
This topic describes how to configure Consul API Gateway to route traffic to services connected to the mesh through a cluster peering connection.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
1. Consul 1.14 or later
|
|
1. Verify that the [requirements](/docs/api-gateway/tech-specs) have been met.
|
|
1. Verify that the Consul API Gateway CRDs and controller have been installed and applied. Refer to [Installation](/docs/api-gateway/install) for details.
|
|
1. A peering connection must already be established between Consul clusters. Refer to [Cluster Peering on Kubernetes](/docs/connect/cluster-peering/k8s) for instructions.
|
|
1. The Consul service that you want to route traffic to must be exported to the cluster containing your `Gateway`. Refer to [Cluster Peering on Kubernetes](/docs/connect/cluster-peering/k8s) for instructions.
|
|
1. A `ServiceResolver` for the Consul service you want to route traffic to must be created in the cluster that contains your `Gateway`. Refer to [Service Resolver Configuration Entry](/docs/connect/config-entries/service-resolver) for instructions.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
Specify the following fields in your `MeshService` configuration to use this feature. Refer to the [MeshService configuration reference](/docs/api-gateway/configuration/mesh) for details about the parameters.
|
|
|
|
- [`name`](/docs/api-gateway/configuration/meshservice#name)
|
|
- [`peer`](/docs/api-gateway/configuration/meshservice#peer)
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
In the following example, routes that use `example-mesh-service` as a backend are configured to send requests to the `echo` service exported by the peered Consul cluster `cluster-02`.
|
|
|
|
<CodeBlockConfig filename="serviceresolver.yaml">
|
|
|
|
```yaml hideClipboard
|
|
apiVersion: consul.hashicorp.com/v1alpha1
|
|
kind: ServiceResolver
|
|
metadata:
|
|
name: echo
|
|
spec:
|
|
redirect:
|
|
peer: cluster-02
|
|
service: echo
|
|
```
|
|
</CodeBlockConfig>
|
|
|
|
<CodeBlockConfig filename="meshservice.yaml">
|
|
|
|
```yaml hideClipboard
|
|
apiVersion: api-gateway.consul.hashicorp.com/v1alpha1
|
|
kind: MeshService
|
|
metadata:
|
|
name: example-mesh-service
|
|
spec:
|
|
name: echo
|
|
peer: cluster-02
|
|
```
|
|
</CodeBlockConfig>
|
|
|
|
After applying the `meshservice.yaml` configuration, an `HTTPRoute` may then reference `example-mesh-service` as its `backendRef`.
|
|
|
|
<CodeBlockConfig filename="route.yaml">
|
|
|
|
```yaml hideClipboard
|
|
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1beta1
|
|
kind: HTTPRoute
|
|
metadata:
|
|
name: example-route
|
|
spec:
|
|
...
|
|
rules:
|
|
- backendRefs:
|
|
- group: api-gateway.consul.hashicorp.com
|
|
kind: MeshService
|
|
name: example-mesh-service
|
|
port: 3000
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
</CodeBlockConfig>
