GKE ingress resources are not working. getting 404 error

8/16/2020

I created ingress resource but it is not working. Please note - I have not deployed the ingress controller using gke default ( is this mandatory to deploy ingress controller in managed gke )

I have created two nginx deployment and nodeport service respectively

here is kubectl get all

and deployed ingress resource as per below

when I am trying to access http://ingresLBip/app1 or http://ingessLBip/app2 I am getting 404 not found error

if I configure ingres resouce with single backend then it is working for single service.

Is anyone face this issue on gke? do i need to install nginx controller as well?

I am assuming your applications are listening to / and not /app1 or /app2 paths. That would explain why the single backend is working. There seems to be a limitation in gce-ingress controller that it doesn't support rewrite-target annotation. If that thread is current then either you have to update the applications to work with the paths or you will have to ditch gce-ingress and use nginx-ingress.

You could use nginx ingress because support for rewrite-target annotation in GKE ingress is not there yet.

Install nginx ingress following the docs. Change the ingress resource as below

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: connection
  annotations:
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
spec:
  rules:
  - http:
      paths:
      - path: /app1
        backend:
          serviceName: app1
          servicePort: 8080
      - path: /app2
        backend:
          serviceName: app2
          servicePort: 80
