How to add header to each request from source Pod to destination Pod?

4/6/2020

I'm trying to deploy the BookInfo application described here: https://istio.io/docs/examples/bookinfo/

And, I'm working on Routing the Request based on header "end-user: jason" per this tutorial. https://istio.io/docs/tasks/traffic-management/request-routing/

According to this tutorial, product Microservices adds a request header "end-user: jason" once you log in.

I want it to send out this header in all circumstances. In other words, for all requests which go out of product microservice, I want this header to to attached, irrespective of where the request lands on.

How can I achieve this?

I want to achieve this

EDIT

I created the following based on advice given below. For some reason, the traffic is going to both versions of product all the time. This are all the configurations I have.

I figured it out!

Thanks to @jt97 for helping me.

  1. Follow all the steps here: https://istio.io/docs/examples/bookinfo/
  2. Set up virtual services as provided here:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/istio/istio/release-1.5/samples/bookinfo/networking/virtual-service-all-v1.yaml

  1. Add product v2 deployment configuration to create the pod product v2.

  2. Modify the product's destinationrule and virtualservices to accommodate v1 and v2.

  3. Now, modify the virtualservices for review and use sourceLabels to specify how it should route.

The entire configuration looks like this:

Here, sourceLabels is the key. We are basically saying all the traffic from any source with label "version: v2" should be routed to reviews v2.

So every time you hit http://localhost/productpage, it'll route 50% of the traffic to product v1 and product v2 respectively.

Traffic from product v1 is routed to review v1 and traffic from product v2 is routed to review v2.

This is how it looks now:

As Anoop mentioned in comments he want to deploy 2 productpage apps

  • first will route only to review v1
  • second route only to review v2

So I made quick test with the productpage from istio docs, and u have to configure virtual services and destination rules to make it happen.

Install istio bookinfo

deployments and services

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/istio/istio/release-1.5/samples/bookinfo/platform/kube/bookinfo.yaml

gateway and virtual service

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/istio/istio/release-1.5/samples/bookinfo/networking/bookinfo-gateway.yaml

As mentioned here

Before you can use Istio to control the Bookinfo version routing, you need to define the available versions, called subsets, in destination rules.

If you did not enable mutual TLS, execute this command:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/istio/istio/release-1.5/samples/bookinfo/networking/destination-rule-all.yaml

If you did enable mutual TLS, execute this command:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/istio/istio/release-1.5/samples/bookinfo/networking/destination-rule-all-mtls.yaml

Then simply add your virtual service

You can either use v1 of each microservice as in this example or just reviews v1.

So for each microservice to use v1 it would be

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/istio/istio/release-1.5/samples/bookinfo/networking/virtual-service-all-v1.yaml

Just for reviews v1

apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: VirtualService
metadata:
  name: reviews
spec:
  hosts:
  - reviews
  http:
  - route:
    - destination:
        host: reviews
        subset: v1

And that's everything what you need to do for the first productpage app.

Second productpage app

You have to do exactly the same with second one, the only change here would be virtual service to match subset v2, of course if you want to deploy both of them I suggest using 2 namespaces and seperate them, change the namespaces in virtual services,deployments, gateways etc.

apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: VirtualService
metadata:
  name: reviews
spec:
  hosts:
  - reviews
  http:
  - route:
    - destination:
        host: reviews
        subset: v2

Headers

As mentioned in istio documentation you can use

request Header -> manipulation rules to apply before forwarding a request to the destination service

OR

response Header -> manipulation rules to apply before returning a response to the caller

I'm not totally sure what you need, this example shows how to add response header to every request, you can either add it in virtual service. More about it in below example link.

EDIT

I made this virtual services based on the picture you add, so every time if you login as jason you it will redirect you to product v2 and review v2, I left ratings and details v1 by default.

apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: VirtualService
metadata:
  name: productpage
spec:
  hosts:
  - productpage
  http:
  - match:
    - headers:
        end-user:
