Ingress Configuration

This project is no longer available for 2021 internships

Student work experience opportunities also exist for students who want to suggest their own project idea. Project suggestions must be relevant to HPCC Systems and of benefit to our open source community.

Project Description

Ingress was officially supported in Kubernetes 1.19 release. Previously users configured ingress service through various third party Kubernetes extension such as Istio or cloud provider's solution for example ALB from AWS. Kubernetes documented Nginx and Google Ingress controller settings. We will play with and test them. We may also test other Ingress controller such as AWS ALB and the corresponding one in Azure. Using Ingress instead of load balancer service is recommended way to control the in-coming traffic.

This project will explore some default Ingress Controllers such as nginx, AWS or maybe GCE and some other third party controllers for example, Istio, Ambassador, HAProxy and Kong,etc.

Student will help to identify any necessary change and add-on in HPCC Platform to support Ingress usage.

Student will work with our build and test team to provide some guidelines for how to use Ingress to configure eclwatch and other HPCC Systems services.

Student will also identify any limitation of HPCC Systems Cloud with Ingress.

Completion of this project involves:

• nginx on local Docker Desktop and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
• Istio, HAProxy and other controllers on AKS. Should have a table to list all ingress controller and routing pattern tested for AKS
• Ingress on AWS 

By the mid term review we would expect you to have:

• nginx on local Docker Desktop and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
