I'm not sure if this is preferred/correct way of setting up kubernetes, but I have two websites "x.com" and "y.com" each with their own separate IPs. Currently, they running off separate ec2 instances, but I'm in the process of moving our architecture to using docker/kubernetes on aws. What I'd like to do is have a single nginx container that hands of the requests to the appropriate backend services. However, I'm currently stuck on trying to figure out how to point two IPs at the same container.
My k8s setup is like so:
Is there a way for me to specify that I want two IPs pointing to the single nginx container, or is there a preferred k8s way of solving this problem?
You could use the ingress routing for this:
Also to not use ingress you could setup services type LoadBalancer and then create CNAMEs to the ELB matching the domains you want to route.
I ended up using two separate services/load balancers that point to the same nginx pod but using different ports.
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: nginx-service1
spec:
type: LoadBalancer
ports:
- name: http
port: 80
targetPort: 880
protocol: TCP
- name: https
port: 443
targetPort: 8443
protocol: TCP
selector:
app: nginx
