Configuring HTTP/2 for a LoadBalancer Service

1. Log in to the CCE console and click the cluster name to access the cluster console.
2. In the navigation pane, choose Services & Ingresses. In the upper right corner, click Create Service.
3. Configure Service parameters. In this example, only mandatory parameters are listed. For details about how to configure other parameters, see Using the CCE Console.
   • Service Name: Specify a Service name, which can be the same as the workload name.
   • Service Type: Select LoadBalancer.
   • Selector: Add a label and click Confirm. The Service will use this label to select pods. You can also click Reference Workload Label to use the label of an existing workload. In the dialog box that is displayed, select a workload and click OK.
   • Load Balancer: Select a load balancer type and creation mode.
     • A load balancer can be dedicated or shared. To enable HTTP/HTTPS on the listener port of a dedicated load balancer, the type of the load balancer must be Application (HTTP/HTTPS) or Network (TCP/UDP) & Application (HTTP/HTTPS).
     • This section uses an existing load balancer as an example. For details about the parameters for automatically creating a load balancer, see Table 1.
   • Ports
     • Protocol: Select TCP. If you select UDP, HTTP and HTTPS will be unavailable.
     • Service Port: the port used by the Service. The port number ranges from 1 to 65535.
     • Container Port: the port that the workload listens on. For example, Nginx uses port 80 by default.
     • Frontend Protocol: In this example, HTTPS must be enabled for the Service to use HTTP/2. For a dedicated load balancer, to use HTTP/HTTPS, the type of the load balancer must be Application (HTTP/HTTPS).
   • Listener
     • SSL authentication is available only in clusters of v1.23.14-r0, v1.25.9-r0, v1.27.6-r0, v1.28.4-r0, or later versions.
       • One-way authentication: Only the backend server is authenticated. If you also need to authenticate the identity of the client, select two-way authentication.
       • Two-way authentication: Both the clients and the load balancer authenticate each other. This ensures only authenticated clients can access the load balancer. No additional backend server configuration is required if you select this option.
     • CA Certificate: If SSL Authentication is set to Two-way authentication, add a CA certificate to authenticate the client. A CA certificate is issued by a Certificate Authority (CA) and is used to verify the issuer of the client's certificate. If HTTPS mutual authentication is enabled, HTTPS connections can be established only if the client provides a certificate issued by a specific CA.
     • Server Certificate: Select a server certificate when HTTPS is used. If no certificate is available, create one on the ELB console. For details, see Adding a Certificate.
     • SNI: Add an SNI certificate containing a domain name. If no certificate is available, create one on the ELB console. For details, see Adding a Certificate.
     • Advanced Options: Click Add advanced options and enable HTTP/2.
