I have a Google Kubernetes Engine with a spring boot application that has a public service endpoint. But I would like to change the endpoint from http://... to a secure https://... .
For example: https://xx.xxx.xx.xxxx:8085/getAllStudent instead of http://xx.xxx.xx.xxxx:8085/getAllStudent
How can i solve this?
It looks like you are using then NodePort type of your services. If you want to accept HTTPS over this port your service behind it simply needs to open a HTTPS server instead of an HTTP server.
Using NodePort like this is not a recommend way but rather use the proper Ingress functionality in Kubernetes in order to expose a service over a host name. Ingress then supports supplying an SSL certificate that can be used to encrypt traffic over HTTPS.
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: tls-example-ingress
spec:
tls:
- hosts:
- sslexample.foo.com
secretName: testsecret-tls
rules:
- host: sslexample.foo.com
http:
paths:
- path: /
backend:
serviceName: service1
servicePort: 80
