I want to reference the label's value in VirtualService's spec section inside k8s yaml file. I use ${metadata.labels[component]} to indicate the positions below. Is there a way to implement my idea?
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: VirtualService
metadata:
name: istio-ingress-version
namespace: netops
labels:
component: version
spec:
hosts:
- "service.api.com"
gateways:
- public-inbound-gateway
http:
- match:
- uri:
prefix: /${metadata.labels[component]}/
headers:
referer:
regex: ^https://[^\s/]*a.api.com[^\s]*
rewrite:
uri: "/"
route:
- destination:
host: ${metadata.labels[component]}.3da.svc.cluster.local
- match:
- uri:
prefix: /${metadata.labels[component]}/
headers:
referer:
regex: ^https://[^\s/]*b.api.com[^\s]*
rewrite:
uri: "/"
route:
- destination:
host: ${metadata.labels[component]}.3db.svc.cluster.local
- match:
- uri:
prefix: /${metadata.labels[component]}/
rewrite:
uri: "/"
route:
- destination:
host: ${metadata.labels[component]}.3db.svc.cluster.localThis isn't a capability of Kubernetes itself, however other tools exist that can help you with this scenario.
The main one of these is Helm. It allows you to create variables that can be shared across several different YAML files, allowing you to share values or even fully parameterise your deployment.
