I'm trying to route incoming traffic into specific pods inside Kubernetes: As suggested here: Is it possible to specific custom rules for running new containers in Kubernetes/Docker?
I tried to use Ingress. Unfortunetly it seems to work only with http and I need to route traffic incoming from UDP.
Using config map I can't map specific URLs to specific services.
Any ideas on how to handle it ?
UDP is definitely supported in K8S:
Check out these articles for additional info:
Ingress is for HTTP traffic so you're right to say that it cannot meet your needs.
The best way to do this is to use a Service. A Service performs automatic Layer 3 load-balancing across the Pods tagged to it. It will look something like this:
kind: Service
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: ntp-service
spec:
selector:
app: ntp
ports:
- protocol: UDP
port: 123
targetPort: 123
The disadvantage to this method is that every worker node has to dedicate a port (123 in the above example) to the Service.
