Cluster Ingress

Cluster Ingress

Cluster Ingress provides Layer 7 (L7) services to traffic entering a Docker Enterprise cluster for a variety of different use cases that help provide application resilience, security, and observability. Ingress provides dynamic control of L7 routing in a highly available architecture that is also high performing.

MKE’s Ingress for Kubernetes is based on the Istio control plane and is a simplified deployment focused on just providing ingress services with minimal complexity. This includes features such as:

  • L7 host and path routing
  • Complex path matching and redirection rules
  • Weight-based load balancing
  • TLS termination
  • Persistent L7 sessions
  • Hot config reloads
  • Redundant and highly available design
