18.3. Scaling for ingress traffic by using RHOSP Octavia

Procedure

1. To copy the current internal router service, on a command line, enter:

   $ oc -n openshift-ingress get svc router-internal-default -o yaml > external_router.yaml

2. In the file external_router.yaml, change the values of metadata.name and spec.type to LoadBalancer.

   Example router file

   apiVersion: v1
   kind: Service
   metadata:
     labels:
       ingresscontroller.operator.openshift.io/owning-ingresscontroller: default
     name: router-external-default 1
     namespace: openshift-ingress
   spec:
     ports:
     - name: http
       port: 80
       protocol: TCP
       targetPort: http
     - name: https
       port: 443
       protocol: TCP
       targetPort: https
     - name: metrics
       port: 1936
       protocol: TCP
       targetPort: 1936
     selector:
       ingresscontroller.operator.openshift.io/deployment-ingresscontroller: default
     sessionAffinity: None
     type: LoadBalancer 2

   1

   Ensure that this value is descriptive, like router-external-default.

   2

   Ensure that this value is LoadBalancer.

1. From a command line, create a service from the external_router.yaml file:

   $ oc apply -f external_router.yaml

2. Verify that the external IP address of the service is the same as the one that is associated with the load balancer:

   1. On a command line, retrieve the external IP address of the service:

      $ oc -n openshift-ingress get svc

      Example output

      NAME                      TYPE           CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP    PORT(S)                                     AGE
      router-external-default   LoadBalancer   172.30.235.33    10.46.22.161   80:30112/TCP,443:32359/TCP,1936:30317/TCP   3m38s
      router-internal-default   ClusterIP      172.30.115.123   <none>         80/TCP,443/TCP,1936/TCP                     22h

   2. Retrieve the IP address of the load balancer:

      $ openstack loadbalancer list | grep router-external

      Example output

      | 21bf6afe-b498-4a16-a958-3229e83c002c | openshift-ingress/router-external-default | 66f3816acf1b431691b8d132cc9d793c | 172.30.235.33  | ACTIVE | octavia |

   3. Verify that the addresses you retrieved in the previous steps are associated with each other in the floating IP list:

      $ openstack floating ip list | grep 172.30.235.33

      Example output

      | e2f80e97-8266-4b69-8636-e58bacf1879e | 10.46.22.161 | 172.30.235.33 | 655e7122-806a-4e0a-a104-220c6e17bda6 | a565e55a-99e7-4d15-b4df-f9d7ee8c9deb | 66f3816acf1b431691b8d132cc9d793c |
