# Gateway
|
|
|
|
This topic provides full details about the `Gateway` resource.
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
A `Gateway` is an instance of network infrastructure that determines how service traffic should be handled. A `Gateway` contains one or more [`listeners`](#listeners) that bind to a set of IP addresses. An `HTTPRoute` or `TCPRoute` can then attach to a gateway listener to direct traffic from the gateway to a service.
|
|
|
|
Gateway instances derive their configurations from the [`GatewayClass`](/docs/api-gateway/configuration/gatewayclass) resource, which acts as a template for individual `Gateway` deployments. Refer to [GatewayClass](/docs/api-gateway/configuration/gatewayclass) for additional information.
|
|
|
|
Specify the following parameters to declare a `Gateway`:
|
|

## Specification
|
|
|
|
This topic provides details about the configuration parameters.
|
|
|
|
### gatewayClassName
|
|
Specifies the name of the [`GatewayClass`](/docs/api-gateway/configuration/gatewayclass) resource used for the `Gateway` instance. Unless you are using a custom [GatewayClass](/docs/api-gateway/configuration/gatewayclass), this value should be set to `consul-api-gateway`.
|
|
* Type: string
|
|
* Required: required
|
|
|
|
### listeners
|
|
Specifies the `listeners` associated with the `Gateway`. At least one `listener` must be specified. Each `listener` within a `Gateway` must have a unique combination of `hostname`, `port`, and `protocol`.
|
|
* Type: array of objects
|
|
* Required: required
|
|
|
|
### listeners.allowedRoutes
|
|
Specifies a `namespace` object that defines the types of routes that may be attached to a listener.
|
|
* Type: object
|
|
* Required: required
|
|
|
|
### listeners.allowedRoutes.namespaces
|
|
Determines which routes are allowed to attach to the `listener`. Only routes in the same namespace as the `Gateway` may be attached by default.
|
|
* Type: string
|
|
* Required: optional
|
|
* Default: Same namespace as the parent Gateway
|
|
|
|
### listeners.allowedRoutes.namespaces.from
|
|
Determines which namespaces are allowed to attach a route to the `Gateway`. You can specify one of the following strings:
|
|
|
|
* `All`: Routes in all namespaces may be attached to the `Gateway`.
|
|
* `Same` (default): Only routes in the same namespace as the `Gateway` may be attached.
|
|
* `Selector`: Only routes in namespaces that match the [`selector`](#listeners-allowedroutes-namespaces-selector) may be attached.
|
|
|
|
This parameter is required.
|
|
|
|
### listeners.allowedRoutes.namespaces.selector
|
|
Specifies a method for selecting routes that are allowed to attach to the listener. The `Gateway` checks for namespaces in the network that match either a regular expression or a label. Routes from the matching namespace are allowed to attach to the listener.
|
|
|
|
You can configure one of the following objects:
|
|
|
|
* [`matchExpressions`](#listeners-allowedroutes-namespaces-selector-matchexpressions)
|
|
* [`matchLabels`](#listeners-allowedroutes-namespaces-selector-matchlabels)
|
|
|
|
This field is required when [`from`](#listeners-allowedroutes-namespaces-from) is configured to `Selector`.
|
|
|
|
### listeners.allowedRoutes.namespaces.selector.matchExpressions
|
|
Specifies an array of requirements for matching namespaces. If a match is found, then routes from the matching namespace(s) are allowed to attach to the `Gateway`. The following table describes members of the `matchExpressions` array:
|
|
|
|
| Requirement | Description | Type | Required |
|
|
|--- |--- |--- |--- |
|
|
|`key` | Specifies the label that the `key` applies to. | string | required when `matchExpressions` is declared |
|
|
|`operator` | Specifies the key's relation to a set of values. You can use the following keywords: <ul><li>`In`: Only routes in namespaces that contain the strings in the `values` field can attach to the `Gateway`. </li><li>`NotIn`: Routes in namespaces that do not contain the strings in the `values` field can attach to the `Gateway`. </li><li>`Exists`: Routes in namespaces that contain the `key` value are allowed to attach to the `Gateway`.</li><li>`DoesNotExist`: Routes in namespaces that do not contain the `key` value are allowed to attach to the `Gateway`.</li></ul> | string | required when `matchExpressions` is declared |
|
|
|`values` | Specifies an array of string values. If `operator` is configured to `In` or `NotIn`, then the `values` array must contain values. If `operator` is configured to `Exists` or `DoesNotExist`, then the `values` array must be empty. | array of strings | required when `matchExpressions` is declared |
|
|
|
|
In the following example, routes in namespaces that contain `foo` and `bar` are allowed to attach routes to the `Gateway`.
|
|
```yaml
|
|
namespaceSelector:
|
|
matchExpressions:
|
|
- key: kubernetes.io/metadata.name
|
|
operator: In
|
|
values:
|
|
- foo
|
|
- bar
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Refer to [Labels and Selectors](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/labels/#resources-that-support-set-based-requirements) in the Kubernetes documentation for additional information about `matchExpressions`.
|
|
|
|
### listeners.allowedRoutes.namespaces.selector.matchLabels
|
|
Specifies an array of labels and label values. If a match is found, then routes with the matching label(s) are allowed to attach to the `Gateway`. This selector can contain any arbitrary key/value pair.
|
|
|
|
In the following example, routes in namespaces that have a `bar` label are allowed to attach to the `Gateway`.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
namespaceSelector:
|
|
matchLabels:
|
|
foo: bar
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Refer to [Labels and Selectors](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/labels/) in the Kubernetes documentation for additional information about labels.
|
|
|
|
### listeners.hostname
|
|
Specifies the `listener`'s hostname.
|
|
* Type: string
|
|
* Required: required
|
|
|
|
### listeners.name
|
|
Specifies the `listener`'s name.
|
|
* Type: string
|
|
* Required: required
|
|
|
|
### listeners.port
|
|
Specifies the port number that the `listener` attaches to.
|
|
* Type: integer
|
|
* Required: required
|
|
|
|
### listeners.protocol
|
|
Specifies the protocol the `listener` communicates on.
|
|
* Type: string
|
|
* Required: required
|
|
|
|
Allowed values are `TCP`, `HTTP`, or `HTTPS`
|
|
|
|
### listeners.tls
|
|
Specifies the `tls` configurations for the `Gateway`. The `tls` object is required if `protocol` is set to `HTTPS`. The object contains the following fields:
|
|
|
|
| Parameter | Description | Type | Required |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| `certificateRefs` | <div style={{width:480}}>Specifies Kubernetes `name` and `namespace` objects that contains TLS certificates and private keys. <br/>The certificates establish a TLS handshake for requests that match the `hostname` of the associated `listener`. Each reference must be a Kubernetes Secret. If you are using a Secret in a namespace other than the `Gateway`'s, each reference must also have a corresponding [`ReferenceGrant`](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/v1alpha2/references/spec/#gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1alpha2.ReferenceGrant).</div> | Object or array | Required if `tls` is set |
|
|
| `mode` | Specifies the TLS Mode. Should always be set to `Terminate` for `HTTPRoutes` | string | Required if `certificateRefs` is set |
|
|
| `options` | Specifies additional Consul API Gateway options. | Map of strings | optional |
|
|
|
|
The following keys for `options` are available
|
|
* `api-gateway.consul.hashicorp.com/tls_min_version`
|
|
* `api-gateway.consul.hashicorp.com/tls_max_version`
|
|
* `api-gateway.consul.hashicorp.com/tls_cipher_suites`
|
|
|
|
In the following example, `tls` settings are configured to use a secret named `consul-server-cert` in the same namespace as the `Gateway` and the minimum tls version is set to `TLSv1_2`.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
|
|
tls:
|
|
certificateRefs:
|
|
- name: consul-server-cert
|
|
group: ""
|
|
kind: Secret
|
|
mode: Terminate
|
|
options:
|
|
api-gateway.consul.hashicorp.com/tls_min_version: "TLSv1_2"
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Example cross-namespace certificateRef
|
|
|
|
The following example creates a `Gateway` named `example-gateway` in namespace `gateway-namespace` (lines 2-4). The gateway has a `certificateRef` in namespace `secret-namespace` (lines 16-18). The reference is allowed because the `ReferenceGrant` configuration, named `reference-grant` in namespace `secret-namespace` (lines 24-27), allows `Gateways` in `gateway-namespace` to reference `Secrets` in `secret-namespace` (lines 31-35).
