Install Ingress APISIX on Google Cloud GKE
This document explains how to install Ingress APISIX on Google Cloud GKE.
#
Prerequisites- Create an Kubernetes Service on GKE.
- Install Google Cloud SDK and get the credentials or you can just use the Cloud Shell.
- Install Helm.
- Make sure your target namespace exists, kubectl operations thorough this document will be executed in namespace
ingress-apisix
.
#
Install APISIX and apisix-ingress-controllerAs the data plane of apisix-ingress-controller, Apache APISIX can be deployed at the same time using Helm chart.
helm repo add apisix https://charts.apiseven.com
helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
helm repo update
kubectl create ns ingress-apisix
helm install apisix apisix/apisix \
--set gateway.type=LoadBalancer \
--set ingress-controller.enabled=true \
--namespace ingress-apisix
kubectl get service --namespace ingress-apisix
Five Service resources were created.
apisix-gateway
, which processes the real traffic;apisix-admin
, which acts as the control plane to process all the configuration changes.apisix-ingress-controller
, which exposes apisix-ingress-controller's metrics.apisix-etcd
andapisix-etcd-headless
for etcd service and internal communication.
The gateway service type is set to LoadBalancer
, so that clients can access Apache APISIX through the GKE Load Balancer . You can find the load balancer IP by running:
kubectl get service apisix-gateway --namespace ingress-apisix -o jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[].ip}'
Now try to create some resources to verify the running status. As a minimalist example, see proxy-the-httpbin-service to learn how to apply resources to drive the apisix-ingress-controller.
