Expose Google Endpoint API on ingress

Question

I have an API on google Endpoint, the backend is deployed on GKE and I'd like to expose it via an ingress so I can use IAP on it.
I am using ESP2.
I first deploy my service as a LoadBalancer and it was working.

Thing is my ingress says: "All backend services are in UNHEALTHY state "
I get that the health check does not pass but I do not get why...

The service and the pod corresponding show no error, however on my pod event I can see: " Readiness probe failed: Get http://10.32.1.27:8000/swagger: dial tcp 10.32.1.27:8000: connect: connection refused "

my configurations for pod and service looks like this:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
 name: devfleet-django-endpoint-service
 namespace: my-ns
spec:
  # NodePort is mandatory for Ingress to perform load balancer
  type: NodePort
  ports:
  - port: 443
    protocol: TCP
    targetPort: 9000
    name: https

            name: nginx-config
          
      nodeSelector:
        cloud.google.com/gke-nodepool: default-pool

and my ingress configuration is:

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: devapi
  namespace: my-ns
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.global-static-ip-name: ingress-devapi
    ingress.gcp.kubernetes.io/pre-shared-cert: "my-cert"
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: gce
    ingress.kubernetes.io/enable-cors: "true"
    kubernetes.io/ingress.allow-http: "false"
spec:
  backend:
    serviceName: devfleet-django-endpoint-service
    servicePort: 443

Any idea what I am doing wrong ?
Thank you

Answer 1

So in order to expose your API deploy on google endpoint on an ingress with the esp container and your app container in the same pod you will need to create Backend config with specific health check.

Here is what I did:

1. Added Backend config:

apiVersion: cloud.google.com/v1  
kind: BackendConfig  
metadata:  
   name: esp-config  
  namespace: my-namespace  
spec:  
  healthCheck:  
    checkIntervalSec: 80  
    port: the-node-port-on-which-your-service-is-exposed  
    type: HTTPS  
    requestPath: /healthz

apiVersion: cloud.google.com/v1
kind: BackendConfig
metadata:
  name: devapi-config
  namespace: my-namespace
spec:
  healthCheck:
    checkIntervalSec: 80
    port: the-node-port-on-which-your-service-is-exposed
    requestPath: /

2. Update my service:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: name
  namespace: my-namespace
  annotations:
    cloud.google.com/backend-config: '{"ports": {
    "443":"esp-config",
    "8035":"devapi-config"
    }}'

spec:
  ports:
  - port: Exposed port
    targetPort: target-port-you-set-in-deployment
    protocol: TCP
    name: name
  - port: Exposed port
    targetPort: target-port-you-set-in-deployment
    protocol: TCP
    name: another-name
  selector:
    app: name
  type: NodePort

3. Update my ingress

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: name
  namespace: my-namespace
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.global-static-ip-name: static-ip-name
    ingress.gcp.kubernetes.io/pre-shared-cert: my-cert
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: gce
    ingress.kubernetes.io/enable-cors: "true"

spec:
  backend:
    serviceName: my-service-name
    servicePort: The-exposed-port-of-my-application (not esp)
