Chapter 5. Ingress Operator in OpenShift Container Platform

1. Create a Secret resource containing the custom certificate in the openshift-ingress namespace using the tls.crt and tls.key files.

   $ oc --namespace openshift-ingress create secret tls custom-certs-default --cert=tls.crt --key=tls.key

2. Update the IngressController CR to reference the new certificate secret:

   $ oc patch --type=merge --namespace openshift-ingress-operator ingresscontrollers/default \
     --patch '{"spec":{"defaultCertificate":{"name":"custom-certs-default"}}}'

3. Verify the update was effective:

   $ oc get --namespace openshift-ingress-operator ingresscontrollers/default \
     --output jsonpath='{.spec.defaultCertificate}'

   Example output

   map[name:custom-certs-default]

   The certificate secret name should match the value used to update the CR.

Procedure

1. View the current number of available replicas for the default IngressController:

   $ oc get -n openshift-ingress-operator ingresscontrollers/default -o jsonpath='{$.status.availableReplicas}'

   Example output

   2

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:

   $ oc patch -n openshift-ingress-operator ingresscontroller/default --patch '{"spec":{"replicas": 3}}' --type=merge

   Example output

   ingresscontroller.operator.openshift.io/default patched

3. Verify that the default IngressController scaled to the number of replicas that you specified:

   $ oc get -n openshift-ingress-operator ingresscontrollers/default -o jsonpath='{$.status.availableReplicas}'

   Example output

   3

Procedure

1. Edit the router-internal.yaml file:

   # cat router-internal.yaml
   apiVersion: v1
   items:
   - apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1
     kind: IngressController
     metadata:
       name: sharded
       namespace: openshift-ingress-operator
     spec:
       domain: <apps-sharded.basedomain.example.net>
       nodePlacement:
         nodeSelector:
           matchLabels:
             node-role.kubernetes.io/worker: ""
       routeSelector:
         matchLabels:
           type: sharded
     status: {}
   kind: List
   metadata:
     resourceVersion: ""
     selfLink: ""

2. Apply the Ingress Controller router-internal.yaml file:

   # oc apply -f router-internal.yaml

   The Ingress Controller selects routes in any namespace that have the label type: sharded.

Procedure

1. Edit the router-internal.yaml file:

   # cat router-internal.yaml

   Example output

   apiVersion: v1
   items:
   - apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1
     kind: IngressController
     metadata:
       name: sharded
       namespace: openshift-ingress-operator
     spec:
       domain: <apps-sharded.basedomain.example.net>
       nodePlacement:
         nodeSelector:
           matchLabels:
             node-role.kubernetes.io/worker: ""
       namespaceSelector:
         matchLabels:
           type: sharded
     status: {}
   kind: List
   metadata:
     resourceVersion: ""
     selfLink: ""

2. Apply the Ingress Controller router-internal.yaml file:

   # oc apply -f router-internal.yaml

   The Ingress Controller selects routes in any namespace that is selected by the namespace selector that have the label type: sharded.

Procedure

1. 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.

2. Create the Ingress Controller defined in the previous step by running the following command:

   $ oc create -f <name>-ingress-controller.yaml 1

   1

   Replace <name> with the name of the IngressController object.

3. Optional: Confirm that the Ingress Controller was created by running the following command:

   $ oc --all-namespaces=true get ingresscontrollers

Procedure

1. Configure the default Ingress Controller for your cluster to be internal by deleting and recreating it.

   $ 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
