Application scenarios and use cases:
Table 1 Annotations for interconnecting with ELB

Parameter

Type

Description

Supported Cluster Version

kubernetes.io/elb.class

String

Select a proper load balancer type.

Options:

  • performance: dedicated load balancer, which can be used only in clusters of v1.17 and later.

v1.9 or later

kubernetes.io/ingress.class

String

  • cce: A proprietary LoadBalancer ingress is used.
  • nginx: Nginx Ingress is used.

This parameter is mandatory when an ingress is created by calling the API.

For clusters of v1.23 or later, use the parameter ingressClassName. For details, see Creating a LoadBalancer Ingress Using kubectl.

Only clusters of v1.21 or earlier

kubernetes.io/elb.port

String

This parameter indicates the external port registered with the address of the LoadBalancer Service.

The value ranges from 1 to 65535.

NOTE:

Some ports are high-risk ports and are blocked by default, for example, port 21.

v1.9 or later

kubernetes.io/elb.id

String

Mandatory when an existing load balancer is to be interconnected.

ID of a load balancer.

How to obtain:

On the management console, click Service List, and choose Networking > Elastic Load Balance. Click the name of the target load balancer. On the Summary tab page, find and copy the ID.

v1.9 or later

kubernetes.io/elb.ip

String

Mandatory when an existing load balancer is to be interconnected.

Service address of a load balancer. The value can be the public IP address of a public network load balancer or the private IP address of a private network load balancer.

v1.9 or later

kubernetes.io/elb.autocreate

Table 7 Object

Mandatory when load balancers are automatically created.

Example

  • Automatically created shared load balancer with an EIP bound:

    '{"type":"public","bandwidth_name":"cce-bandwidth-1551163379627","bandwidth_chargemode":"bandwidth","bandwidth_size":5,"bandwidth_sharetype":"PER","eip_type":"5_bgp","name":"james"}'

  • Automatically created shared load balancer with no EIP bound:

    {"type":"inner","name":"A-location-d-test"}

v1.9 or later

kubernetes.io/elb.enterpriseID

String

Optional when load balancers are automatically created.

Clusters of v1.15 and later versions support this field. In clusters earlier than v1.15, load balancers are created in the default project by default.

This parameter indicates the ID of the enterprise project in which the ELB load balancer will be created.

If this parameter is not specified or is set to 0, resources will be bound to the default enterprise project.

How to obtain:

Log in to the management console and choose Enterprise > Project Management on the top menu bar. In the list displayed, click the name of the target enterprise project, and copy the ID on the enterprise project details page.

v1.15 or later

kubernetes.io/elb.subnet-id

String

Optional when load balancers are automatically created.

ID of the subnet where the cluster is located. The value can contain 1 to 100 characters.

  • Mandatory when a cluster of v1.11.7-r0 or earlier is to be automatically created.
  • Optional for clusters of a version later than v1.11.7-r0.

Mandatory for clusters earlier than v1.11.7-r0

Discarded in clusters of a version later than v1.11.7-r0

Configuring ELB Certificates

For details about application scenarios and use cases, see Using kubectl.

Table 2 ELB certificate annotations

Parameter

Type

Description

Supported Cluster Version

kubernetes.io/elb.tls-certificate-ids

String

ELB certificate IDs, which are separated by comma (,). The list length is greater than or equal to 1. The first ID in the list is the server certificate, and the other IDs are SNI certificates in which a domain name must be contained.

To obtain the certificate, log in to the CCE console, choose Service List > Networking > Elastic Load Balance, and click Certificates in the navigation pane. In the load balancer list, copy the ID under the target certificate name.

v1.19.16-r2, v1.21.5-r0, v1.23.3-r0, or later

Using HTTP/2

For details about application scenarios and use cases, see Configuring HTTP/2 for a LoadBalancer Ingress.

Table 3 Annotations for using HTTP/2

Parameter

Type

Description

Supported Cluster Version

kubernetes.io/elb.http2-enable

String

Whether HTTP/2 is enabled. Request forwarding using HTTP/2 improves the access performance between your application and the load balancer. However, the load balancer still uses HTTP/1.x to forward requests to the backend server.

Options:

  • true: enabled
  • false: disabled (default value)

Note: HTTP/2 can be enabled or disabled only when the listener uses HTTPS. This parameter is invalid and defaults to false when the listener protocol is HTTP.

v1.23.13-r0, v1.25.8-r0, v1.27.5-r0, v1.28.3-r0, or later

Interconnecting with HTTPS Backend Services

For details about application scenarios and use cases, see Configuring HTTPS Backend Services for a LoadBalancer Ingress.

Table 4 Annotations for interconnecting with HTTPS backend services

Parameter

Type

Description

Supported Cluster Version

kubernetes.io/elb.pool-protocol

String

To interconnect with HTTPS backend services, set this parameter to https.

v1.23.8, v1.25.3, or later

Configuring Timeout for an Ingress

For details about application scenarios and use cases, see Configuring Timeout for a LoadBalancer Ingress.

Table 5 Annotations for configuring timeout of an ingress

Parameter

Type

Description

Supported Cluster Version

kubernetes.io/elb.keepalive_timeout

String

Timeout for client connections. If there are no requests reaching the load balancer during the timeout duration, the load balancer will disconnect the connection from the client and establish a new connection when there is a new request.

Value:

  • For TCP listeners, the value ranges from 10 to 4000 (in seconds). The default value is 300.
  • For HTTP or HTTPS listeners, the value ranges from 0 to 4000 (in seconds). The default value is 60.

For UDP listeners, this parameter does not take effect.

Dedicated load balancers: v1.19.16-r30, v1.21.10-r10, v1.23.8-r10, v1.25.3-r10, or later

Shared load balancers: v1.23.13-r0, v1.25.8-r0, v1.28.3-r0, or later

kubernetes.io/elb.client_timeout

String

Timeout for waiting for a request from a client. There are two cases:

  • If the client fails to send a request header to the load balancer during the timeout duration, the request will be interrupted.
  • If the interval between two consecutive request bodies reaching the load balancer is greater than the timeout duration, the connection will be disconnected.

The value ranges from 1 to 300 (in seconds). The default value is 60.

This parameter is available only for HTTP and HTTPS listeners.

Minimum value: 1

Maximum value: 300

Default value: 60

kubernetes.io/elb.member_timeout

String

Timeout for waiting for a response from a backend server. After a request is forwarded to the backend server, if the backend server does not respond within the duration specified by member_timeout, the load balancer will stop waiting and return HTTP 504 Gateway Timeout.

The value ranges from 1 to 300 (in seconds). The default value is 60.

This parameter is available only for HTTP and HTTPS listeners.

Minimum value: 1

Maximum value: 300

Default value: 60

Configuring a Slow Start

For details about application scenarios and use cases, see Configuring a Slow Start for a LoadBalancer Ingress.

Table 6 Annotations for configuring a slow start

Parameter

Type

Description

Supported Cluster Version

kubernetes.io/elb.slowstart

String

Duration of slow start, in seconds.

The slow start duration ranges from 30 to 1200.

  • This configuration applies only to dedicated load balancers.
  • Valid only when the allocation policy of the target Service is weighted round robin (WRR) and sticky session is disabled.
NOTE:

The load balancer linearly increases the proportion of requests to backend servers in slow start mode. When the configured slow start duration elapses, the load balancer sends full share of requests to backend servers and exits the slow start mode.

v1.23 or later
