Configuring an HTTP or HTTPS Service

Constraints

• Only clusters of v1.19.16 or later support HTTP or HTTPS.

  Table 1 Scenarios where a load balancer supports HTTP or HTTPS

  ELB Type	Application scenario	Whether to Support HTTP or HTTPS	Description
  Shared load balancer	Interconnecting with an existing load balancer	Yes	None
  	Automatically creating a load balancer	Yes	None
  Dedicated load balancer	Interconnecting with an existing load balancer	Yes (A YAML file is required.)	For versions earlier than v1.19.16-r50, v1.21.11-r10, v1.23.9-r10, v1.25.4-r10 and v1.27.1-r10, the load balancer flavor must support both the layer-4 and layer-7 routing. For v1.19.16-r50, v1.21.11-r10, v1.23.9-r10, v1.25.4-r10, v1.27.1-r10, and later versions, the load balancer flavor must support layer-7 routing.
  	Automatically creating a load balancer	Yes (A YAML file is required.)	For versions earlier than v1.19.16-r50, v1.21.11-r10, v1.23.9-r10, v1.25.4-r10 and v1.27.1-r10, the load balancer flavor must support both the layer-4 and layer-7 routing. For v1.19.16-r50, v1.21.11-r10, v1.23.9-r10, v1.25.4-r10, v1.27.1-r10, and later versions, the load balancer flavor must support layer-7 routing.

• Do not connect an ingress and a Service that uses HTTP or HTTPS to the same listener of the same load balancer. Otherwise, a port conflict occurs.

Using kubectl

If a Service is HTTP/HTTPS-compliant, add the following annotations:

• kubernetes.io/elb.protocol-port: "https:443,http:80"

  The value of protocol-port must be the same as the port in the spec.ports field of the Service. The format is Protocol:Port. The port matches the one in the service.spec.ports field and is released as the corresponding protocol.

• kubernetes.io/elb.cert-id: "17e3b4f4bc40471c86741dc3aa211379"

  cert-id indicates the certificate ID in ELB certificate management. When https is configured for protocol-port, the certificate of the ELB listener will be set to the server certificate. When multiple HTTPS Services are released, they will use the same certificate.

The following is a configuration example for automatically creating a dedicated load balancer, in which key configurations are marked in red:

• Different ELB types and cluster versions have different requirements on flavors. For details, see Table 1.
• The two ports in spec.ports must correspond to those in kubernetes.io/elb.protocol-port. In this example, ports 443 and 80 are enabled with HTTPS and HTTP, respectively.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service

Use the preceding example configurations to create a Service. In the new ELB load balancer, you can see that the listeners on ports 443 and 80 are created.
