Contour 1.24.2

Contour 1.24.2

Description

Contour is an open-source ingress controller for Kubernetes that offers a flexible way to control traffic within Kubernetes clusters. It operates by configuring the Envoy proxy and can manage traffic routing, load balancing, SSL/TLS termination, and other critical features required for modern cloud-native applications. Contour offers a declarative configuration system that enables users to specify routing and load balancing rules for their applications, providing a straightforward approach to managing traffic flow within a Kubernetes cluster.

  • Supports Kubernetes-native HTTP/HTTPS ingress routing
  • Provides advanced traffic routing capabilities, including weighted routing and traffic splitting
  • Offers powerful load balancing features, including automatic service discovery and health checking
  • Enables SSL/TLS termination at the edge, with support for multiple certificates and SNI
  • Offers flexible configuration options, including support for custom annotations and CRDs
  • Provides detailed metrics and logs for monitoring and troubleshooting

  1. Traffic routing and load balancing: Contour can be used to control traffic routing and load balancing for applications deployed in Kubernetes clusters. It offers advanced traffic routing capabilities like weighted routing and traffic splitting, as well as powerful load balancing features like automatic service discovery and health checking.
  2. SSL/TLS termination: Contour can also be used to terminate SSL/TLS traffic at the edge, with support for multiple certificates and SNI. This helps to ensure secure communication between clients and the applications running in Kubernetes clusters.

  1. Install Contour in your Kubernetes cluster using the provided YAML manifest files.
  2. Configure Contour using custom annotations and CRDs to define routing rules and load balancing policies.
  3. Enable SSL/TLS termination by providing the necessary certificates and configuring SNI.
  4. Monitor and troubleshoot using the detailed metrics and logs provided by Contour.

  • Contour is built on top of Envoy, an open-source proxy that provides high-performance load balancing and traffic routing capabilities.
  • Contour uses custom annotations and CRDs to define routing rules and load balancing policies.
  • It supports Kubernetes-native HTTP/HTTPS ingress routing.
  • Contour can be deployed in Kubernetes clusters using YAML manifest files.
  • It provides detailed metrics and logs for monitoring and troubleshooting.
