voyager

Voyager provides controller for Ingress and Certificates for Kubernetes developed by AppsCode.

Ingress

In here we call it ExtendedIngress. An extended plugin of Kubernetes Ingress by AppsCode, to support both L7 and L4 loadbalancing via a single ingress. This is built on top of the HAProxy, to support high availability, sticky sessions, name and path-based virtual hosting. This also support configurable application ports with all the features available in Kubernetes Ingress.

Feautures

HTTP and TCP loadbalancing,
TLS Termination,
Multi-cloud supports,
Name and Path based virtual hosting,
Cross namespace routing support,
URL and Request Header Re-writing,
Wildcard Name based virtual hosting,
Persistent sessions, Loadbalancer stats.

Running voyager alongside with other ingress controller

voyager can be configured to handle default kubernetes ingress or only ingress.appscode.com. voyager can also be run along side with other controllers.

  --ingress-class
  // this flag can be set to 'voyager' to handle only ingress
  // with annotation kubernetes.io/ingress.class=voyager.

  // If unset, voyager will also handle ingress without ingress-class annotation.
