This tutorial shows how to expose multiple workloads on different paths by defining a service at the root level and by defining services on each path separately.

CAUTION: Exposing a workload to the outside world is always a potential security vulnerability, so tread carefully. In a production environment, remember to secure the workload you expose with OAuth2 or JWT.

Prerequisites

• Deploy a sample HttpBin service and a sample Function.
• Set up your custom domain or use a Kyma domain instead.

• Depending on whether you use your custom domain or a Kyma domain, export the necessary values as environment variables:

  • Custom domain
  • Kyma domain

Define multiple services on different paths

Follow the instructions to expose the instance of the HttpBin service and the sample Function on different paths at the spec.rules level without a root service defined.

1. To expose the instance of the HttpBin service and the instance of the sample Function, create an APIRule CR in your Namespace. Run:

   Click to copy

   cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
   apiVersion: gateway.kyma-project.io/v1beta1
   kind: APIRule
   metadata:
     name: multiple-service
     namespace: $NAMESPACE
     labels:
       app: multiple-service
       example: multiple-service
   spec:
     host: multiple-service-example.$DOMAIN_TO_EXPOSE_WORKLOADS
     gateway: $GATEWAY
     rules:
       - path: /headers
         methods: ["GET"]
         accessStrategies:
           - handler: noop
         service:
           name: httpbin
           port: 8000
       - path: /function
         methods: ["GET"]
         accessStrategies:
           - handler: noop
         service:
           name: function
           port: 80
   EOF

2. To call the endpoints, send GET requests to the HttpBin service and the sample Function:

   Click to copy

   curl -ik -X GET https://multiple-service-example.$DOMAIN_TO_EXPOSE_WORKLOADS/headers
   curl -ik -X GET https://multiple-service-example.$DOMAIN_TO_EXPOSE_WORKLOADS/function 

   If successful, the calls return the code 200 OK response.

Define a service at the root level

A service can be also defined at the root level. Such a definition is applied to all the paths specified at the spec.rules which do not have their own services defined.

NOTE: Services definitions at the spec.rules level have precedence over service definition at the spec.service level.

Follow the instructions to expose the instance of the HttpBin service and the sample Function on different paths with a service defined at the root level.

1. To expose the instance of the HttpBin service and the instance of the sample Function, create an APIRule CR in your Namespace. Run:

   Click to copy

   cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
   apiVersion: gateway.kyma-project.io/v1beta1
   kind: APIRule
   metadata:
     name: multiple-service
     namespace: $NAMESPACE
     labels:
       app: multiple-service
       example: multiple-service
   spec:
     host: multiple-service-example.$DOMAIN_TO_EXPOSE_WORKLOADS
     gateway: $GATEWAY
     service:
       name: httpbin
       port: 8000
     rules:
       - path: /headers
         methods: ["GET"]
         accessStrategies:
           - handler: noop
       - path: /function
         methods: ["GET"]
         accessStrategies:
           - handler: noop
         service:
           name: function
           port: 80
   EOF

   In the above APIRule, the HttpBin service on port 8000 is defined at the spec.service level. This service definition is applied to the /headers path. The /function path has the service definition overwritten.

2. To call the endpoints, send GET requests to the HttpBin service and the sample Function:

   Click to copy

   curl -ik -X GET https://multiple-service-example.$DOMAIN_TO_EXPOSE_WORKLOADS/headers
   curl -ik -X GET https://multiple-service-example.$DOMAIN_TO_EXPOSE_WORKLOADS/function 

   If successful, the calls return the code 200 OK response.
