Ingress controller implementation for HAProxy loadbalancer.
HAProxy Ingress images are built by Travis CI and the
image is deployed from Travis CI to Quay.io
whenever a tag is applied. The latest tag will always point to the latest stable version while
canary tag will always point to the latest beta-quality and release-candidate versions.
Before the beta-quality releases, the source code could also be tagged and images deployed.
The snapshot tag will always point to the latest tagged version, which could be a release,
a beta-quality or a development version.
Usage docs are maintained on Ingress repository:
- Start with deployment instructions
- See TLS termination on how to enable
https
The --reload-strategy command-line argument is used to select which reload strategy
HAProxy should use. The following options are available:
native: Uses native HAProxy reload option-sf. This is the default option.multibinder: Uses GitHub's multibinder. This link describes how it works.
HAProxy Ingress can be configured per ingress resource using annotations, or globally
using ConfigMap. It is also possible to change the default template mounting a new
template file at /etc/haproxy/template/haproxy.tmpl.
The following annotations are supported:

Configure if HAProxy should maintain client requests to the same backend server.
ingress.kubernetes.io/affinity: the only supported option iscookie. If declared, clients will receive a cookie with a hash of the server it should be fidelized to.ingress.kubernetes.io/session-cookie-name: the name of the cookie.INGRESSCOOKIEis the default value if not declared.
Note for dynamic-scaling users only: the hash of the server is built based on it's name.
When the slots are scaled down, the remaining servers might change it's server name on
HAProxy configuration. In order to circumvent this, always configure the slot increment at
least as much as the number of replicas of the deployment that need to use affinity. This
limitation will be removed when HAProxy version is updated to 1.8.

If using ConfigMap to configure HAProxy Ingress, use
--configmap=<namespace>/<configmap-name> argument on HAProxy Ingress deployment.
A ConfigMap can be created with kubectl create configmap.

Define a load balancing algorithm.
http://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/1.7/configuration.html#4-balance
Define the interval between TCP health checks to the backend using inter option.
http://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/1.7/configuration.html#5.2-inter
The dynamic-scaling option defines if backend updates should be made starting a
new HAProxy instance that will read the new config file (false), or updating the
running HAProxy via a Unix socket (true). Despite the configuration, the config
file will stay in sync with in memory config.
If true HAProxy Ingress will create at least backend-server-slots-increment
servers on each backend and update them via a Unix socket without reloading HAProxy.
Unused servers will stay in a disabled state.
dynamic-scaling: Define if dynamic scaling should be used whenever possiblebackend-server-slots-increment: Configures the minimum number of servers, the size of the increment when growing and the size of the decrement when shrinking of each HAProxy backend
http://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/1.7/management.html#9.3
Define if X-Forwarded-For header should be added always, added if missing or
ignored from incomming requests. Default is add which means HAProxy will itself
generate a X-Forwarded-For header with client's IP address and remove this same
header from incomming requests.
Use ignore to skip any check. ifmissing should be used to add
X-Forwarded-For with client's IP address only if this header is not defined.
Only use ignore or ifmissing on trusted networks.
http://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/1.7/configuration.html#4-option%20forwardfor
Define the port number HAProxy should listen to in order to answer for health checking
requests. Use /healthz as the request path.
http://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/1.7/configuration.html#4-monitor-uri
Configure HSTS - HTTP Strict Transport Security.
hsts:trueif HSTS response header should be addedhsts-include-subdomains:trueif it should apply to subdomains as wellhsts-max-age: time in seconds the browser should remember this configurationhsts-preload:trueif the browser should include the domain to HSTS preload list
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Strict-Transport-Security
Customize the http log format using log format variables. Default to the HAProxy default log format
https://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/1.7/configuration.html#8.2.4
Customize the tcp log format using log format variables. Default to the HAProxy default log format
https://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/1.7/configuration.html#8.2.4
Define the maximum number of concurrent connections. Defaults to 2000 connections,
which is also the HAProxy default configuration.
http://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/1.7/configuration.html#5.2-maxconn
Define the maximum number of bytes HAProxy will allow on the body of requests. Default is to not check, which means requests of unlimited size. This limit can be changed per ingress resource.
http://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/1.7/configuration.html#7.3.6-req.body_size
Set the list of cipher algorithms used during the SSL/TLS handshake.
http://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/1.7/configuration.html#3.1-ssl-default-bind-ciphers
Define the maximum size of a temporary DH parameters used for key exchange.
Only used if ssl-dh-param isn't provided.
http://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/1.7/configuration.html#tune.ssl.default-dh-param
Define DH parameters file used on ephemeral Diffie-Hellman key exchange during the SSL/TLS handshake.
http://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/1.7/configuration.html#3.1-ssl-dh-param-file
Define a space-separated list of options on SSL/TLS connections:
force-sslv3: Enforces use of SSLv3 onlyforce-tlsv10: Enforces use of TLSv1.0 onlyforce-tlsv11: Enforces use of TLSv1.1 onlyforce-tlsv12: Enforces use of TLSv1.2 onlyno-sslv3: Disables support for SSLv3no-tls-tickets: Enforces the use of stateful session resumptionno-tlsv10: Disables support for TLSv1.0no-tlsv11: Disables support for TLSv1.1no-tlsv12: Disables support for TLSv1.2
A global configuration of SSL redirect used as default value if ingress resource
doesn't use ssl-redirect annotation. If true HAProxy Ingress sends a 302 redirect
to https if TLS is configured.
Configurations of the HAProxy status page:
stats-auth: Enable basic authentication with clear-text password -<user>:<passwd>stats-port: Change the port HAProxy should listen to requestsstats-proxy-protocol: Define if the stats endpoint should enforce the PROXY protocol
Configure the UDP syslog endpoint where HAProxy should send access logs.
Define timeout configurations:
timeout-client: Maximum inactivity time on the client sidetimeout-client-fin: Maximum inactivity time on the client side for half-closed connections - FIN_WAIT statetimeout-connect: Maximum time to wait for a connection to a backendtimeout-http-request: Maximum time to wait for a complete HTTP requesttimeout-keep-alive: Maximum time to wait for a new HTTP request on keep-alive connectionstimeout-server: Maximum inactivity time on the backend sidetimeout-server-fin: Maximum inactivity time on the backend side for half-closed connections - FIN_WAIT statetimeout-tunnel: Maximum inactivity time on the client and backend side for tunnels
Define if HAProxy is behind another proxy that use the PROXY protocol. If true, ports
80 and 443 will enforce the PROXY protocol.
The stats endpoint (defaults to port 1936) has it's own stats-proxy-protocol
configuration.
