As an experiment I'm trying to run a docker container on Azure using the Azure Container Service and Kubernetes as the orchestrator. I'm running the official nginx image. Here are the steps I am taking:
az group create --name test-group --location westus az acs create --orchestrator-type=kubernetes --resource-group=test-group --name=k8s-cluster --generate-ssh-keys
I created Kubernetes deployment and service files from a docker compose file using Kompose.
deployment file apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1 kind: Deployment metadata: annotations: kompose.service.type: LoadBalancer creationTimestamp: null labels: io.kompose.service: test name: test spec: replicas: 1 strategy: {} template: metadata: creationTimestamp: null labels: io.kompose.service: test spec: containers: - image: nginx:latest name: test ports: - containerPort: 80 resources: {} restartPolicy: Always status: {}
service file apiVersion: v1 kind: Service metadata: annotations: kompose.service.type: LoadBalancer creationTimestamp: null labels: io.kompose.service: test name: test spec: ports: - name: "80" port: 80 targetPort: 80 selector: io.kompose.service: test type: LoadBalancer status: loadBalancer: {}
I can then start everything up:
kubectl create -f test-service.yaml,test-deployment.yaml
Once an IP has been exposed I assign a dns prefix to it so I can access my running container like so: http://nginx-test.westus.cloudapp.azure.com/.
My question is, how can I access the service using https? At https://nginx-test.westus.cloudapp.azure.com/
I don't think I'm supposed to configure nginx for https, since the certificate is not mine. I've tried changing the load balancer to send 443 traffic to port 80, but I receive a timeout error.
I tried mapping port 443 to port 80 in my Kubernetes service config.
ports: - name: "443" port: 443 targetPort: 80
But that results in:
SSL peer was not expecting a handshake message it received. Error code: SSL_ERROR_HANDSHAKE_UNEXPECTED_ALERT
How can I view my running container at https://nginx-test.westus.cloudapp.azure.com/?
If I understand it correctly, I think you are looking for Nginx Ingress controller
.
If we need TLS termination on Kubernetes, we can use ingress controller, on Azure we can use Nginx Ingress controller
.
To archive this, we can follow those steps:
1 Deploy the Nginx Ingress controller
2 Create TLS certificates
3 Deploy test http service
4 configure TLS termination
More information about configure Nginx Ingress Controller for TLS termination on Kubernetes on Azure, please refer to this blog.
