I created an ACS (Azure Container Service) using Kubernetes by following this link : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-service/container-service-kubernetes-windows-walkthrough & I deployed my .net 4.5 app by following this link : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-service/container-service-kubernetes-ui . My app needs to access Azure SQL and other resources that are part of some other resource groups in my account, but my container is not able to make any outbound calls to network - both inside azure and to internet. I opened some ports to allow outbound connections, that is not helping either.
When I create an ACS does it come with a gateway or should I create one ? How can I configure ACS so that it allows outbound network calls ?
Thanks,
Ashok.
For the communication with service running inside the cluster, you can use the Kube-dns which allows you to access service by its name. You can find more details at https://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/dns/
For the external communication (internet), there is no need to create any gateway etc. By default your containers inside a pod can make outbound connections. To verify this, you can run powershell in one of your containers and try to run
wget http://www.google.com -OutFile testping.txt
Get-Contents testping.txtand see if it works.
To run powershell, ssh to your master node - instructions here
kubectl exec -it <pod_name> -- powershellOutbound internet access works from an Azure Container Service (ACS) Kubernetes Windows cluster if you are connecting to IP Addresses other than the range 10.0.0.0/16 (that is you are not connecting to another service on your VNET).
Before Feb 22,2017 there was a bug where Internet access was not available.
Please try the latest deployment from ACS-Engine: https://github.com/Azure/acs-engine/blob/master/docs/kubernetes.windows.md., and open an issue there if you still see this, and we (Azure Container Service) can help you debug.
