I am new to AKS. I am planning to deploy Micro Services using AKS cluster (Azure kubernetes services) on Azure platform and I want to secure it with solid Authentication and Authorization with Azure AD support. To Do this I am looking for best suited API gateway which supports kubernetes i.e. AKS
API gateway should have following feature -
1. Authentication and Authorization support
2. Azure Active directory integration
3. SSL termination
4. KPI Metrics
5. Load Balancing
6. Request Tracing
7. Auto scaling
8. Pre/Post request processingI have explored couple of options like Ingress Controller, Ambassador. Also we cannot use Azure API Management due to some restrictions from client.
Nothing supports all of those "in box". You can use Azure application gateway, but it wont do 1,2,6,8 (not sure what you mean by 6 exactly). You can take a look at Istio, it has got lots of features. But for tracing you'd probably need to use something like Jaeger\Zipkin.
I think you might be able to use oAuth feature of zipkin to validate oAuth token from Azure AD, but you might need to offload that piece to a service.
