ResponseTimeout configures maximum time to wait for a check response from the authorization server. Timeout durations are expressed in the Go Duration format. Valid time units are “ns”, “us” (or “µs”), “ms”, “s”, “m”, “h”. The string “infinity” is also a valid input and specifies no timeout.

If FailOpen is true, the client request is forwarded to the upstream service even if the authorization server fails to respond. This field should not be set in most cases. It is intended for use only while migrating applications from internal authorization to Contour external authorization.

WithRequestBody specifies configuration for sending the client request’s body to authorization server.

MaxRequestBytes sets the maximum size of message body ExtAuthz filter will hold in-memory.

If AllowPartialMessage is true, then Envoy will buffer the body until MaxRequestBytes are reached.

AllowOrigin specifies the origins that will be allowed to do CORS requests. Allowed values include “*” which signifies any origin is allowed, an exact origin of the form “scheme://host[:port]” (where port is optional), or a valid regex pattern. Note that regex patterns are validated and a simple “glob” pattern (e.g. *.foo.com) will be rejected or produce unexpected matches when applied as a regex.

Name of a Kubernetes secret that contains a CA certificate bundle. The secret must contain key named ca.crt. The client certificate must validate against the certificates in the bundle. If specified and SkipClientCertValidation is true, client certificates will be required on requests.

SkipClientCertValidation disables downstream client certificate validation. Defaults to false. This field is intended to be used in conjunction with external authorization in order to enable the external authorization server to validate client certificates. When this field is set to true, client certificates are requested but not verified by Envoy. If CACertificate is specified, client certificates are required on requests, but not verified. If external authorization is in use, they are presented to the external authorization server.

Name of a Kubernetes opaque secret that contains a concatenated list of PEM encoded CRLs. The secret must contain key named crl.pem. This field will be used to verify that a client certificate has not been revoked. CRLs must be available from all CAs, unless crlOnlyVerifyLeafCert is true. Large CRL lists are not supported since individual secrets are limited to 1MiB in size.

If this option is set to true, only the certificate at the end of the certificate chain will be subject to validation by CRL.

Ciphers provided are validated against the following list: - “[ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256|ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305]” - “[ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256|ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305]” - “ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256” - “ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256” - “ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA” - “ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA” - “AES128-GCM-SHA256” - “AES128-SHA” - “ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384” - “ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384” - “ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA” - “ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA” - “AES256-GCM-SHA384” - “AES256-SHA”

Contour recommends leaving this undefined unless you are sure you must.

See: https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/api-v3/extensions/transport_sockets/tls/v3/common.proto#extensions-transport-sockets-tls-v3-tlsparameters Note: This list is a superset of what is valid for stock Envoy builds and those using BoringSSL FIPS.

"v2"

SupportProtocolVersion2 requests the “v2” support protocol version.

Deprecated: this protocol version is no longer supported and the constant is retained for backwards compatibility only.

"v3"

SupportProtocolVersion3 requests the “v3” support protocol version.

Services specifies the set of Kubernetes Service resources that receive GRPC extension API requests. If no weights are specified for any of the entries in this array, traffic will be spread evenly across all the services. Otherwise, traffic is balanced proportionally to the Weight field in each entry.

UpstreamValidation defines how to verify the backend service’s certificate

Protocol may be used to specify (or override) the protocol used to reach this Service. Values may be h2 or h2c. If omitted, protocol-selection falls back on Service annotations.

The policy for load balancing GRPC service requests. Note that the Cookie and RequestHash load balancing strategies cannot be used here.

The timeout policy for requests to the services.

This field sets the version of the GRPC protocol that Envoy uses to send requests to the extension service. Since Contour always uses the v3 Envoy API, this is currently fixed at “v3”. However, other protocol options will be available in future.

Conditions contains the current status of the ExtensionService resource.

Contour will update a single condition, Valid, that is in normal-true polarity.

Contour will not modify any other Conditions set in this block, in case some other controller wants to add a Condition.

Name is the name of Kubernetes service that will accept service traffic.

Port (defined as Integer) to proxy traffic to since a service can have multiple defined.

Weight defines proportion of traffic to balance to the Kubernetes Service.

ControllerName is used to determine whether Contour should reconcile a GatewayClass. The string takes the form of “projectcontour.io//contour”. If unset, the gatewayclass controller will not be started. Exactly one of ControllerName or GatewayRef must be set.

GatewayRef defines a specific Gateway that this Contour instance corresponds to. If set, Contour will reconcile only this gateway, and will not reconcile any gateway classes. Exactly one of ControllerName or GatewayRef must be set.

DisablePermitInsecure disables the use of the permitInsecure field in HTTPProxy.

Contour’s default is false.

Restrict Contour to searching these namespaces for root ingress routes.

FallbackCertificate defines the namespace/name of the Kubernetes secret to use as fallback when a non-SNI request is received.

Contour’s default is 0.

Configure the port used to access the Envoy Admin interface. If configured to port “0” then the admin interface is disabled.

Contour’s default is 9001.

NetworkPublishingType is the type of publishing strategy to use. Valid values are:

• LoadBalancerService

In this configuration, network endpoints for Envoy use container networking. A Kubernetes LoadBalancer Service is created to publish Envoy network endpoints.

See: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#loadbalancer

• NodePortService

Publishes Envoy network endpoints using a Kubernetes NodePort Service.

In this configuration, Envoy network endpoints use container networking. A Kubernetes NodePort Service is created to publish the network endpoints.

See: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#nodeport

• ClusterIPService

Publishes Envoy network endpoints using a Kubernetes ClusterIP Service.

In this configuration, Envoy network endpoints use container networking. A Kubernetes ClusterIP Service is created to publish the network endpoints.

See: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#publishing-services-service-types

If unset, defaults to LoadBalancerService.

ServiceAnnotations is the annotations to add to the provisioned Envoy service.

"ClusterIPService"

ClusterIPServicePublishingType publishes a network endpoint using a Kubernetes ClusterIP Service.

"LoadBalancerService"

LoadBalancerServicePublishingType publishes a network endpoint using a Kubernetes LoadBalancer Service.

"NodePortService"

NodePortServicePublishingType publishes a network endpoint using a Kubernetes NodePort Service.

NodeSelector is the simplest recommended form of node selection constraint and specifies a map of key-value pairs. For the pod to be eligible to run on a node, the node must have each of the indicated key-value pairs as labels (it can have additional labels as well).

If unset, the pod(s) will be scheduled to any available node.

Tolerations work with taints to ensure that pods are not scheduled onto inappropriate nodes. One or more taints are applied to a node; this marks that the node should not accept any pods that do not tolerate the taints.

The default is an empty list.

See https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/taint-and-toleration/ for additional details.

RequestHeadersPolicy defines the request headers set/removed on all routes

ResponseHeadersPolicy defines the response headers set/removed on all routes

ApplyToIngress determines if the Policies will apply to ingress objects

Contour’s default is false.

ExtensionService identifies the extension service defining the RLS.

Domain is passed to the Rate Limit Service.

FailOpen defines whether to allow requests to proceed when the Rate Limit Service fails to respond with a valid rate limit decision within the timeout defined on the extension service.

EnableXRateLimitHeaders defines whether to include the X-RateLimit headers X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset (as defined by the IETF Internet-Draft linked below), on responses to clients when the Rate Limit Service is consulted for a request.

ref. https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-polli-ratelimit-headers-03.html

CA filename.

Client certificate filename.

Client key filename.

Allow serving the xDS gRPC API without TLS.

RequestTimeout sets the client request timeout globally for Contour. Note that this is a timeout for the entire request, not an idle timeout. Omit or set to “infinity” to disable the timeout entirely.

See https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/api-v3/extensions/filters/network/http_connection_manager/v3/http_connection_manager.proto#envoy-v3-api-field-extensions-filters-network-http-connection-manager-v3-httpconnectionmanager-request-timeout for more information.

ConnectionIdleTimeout defines how long the proxy should wait while there are no active requests (for HTTP/1.1) or streams (for HTTP/2) before terminating an HTTP connection. Set to “infinity” to disable the timeout entirely.

See https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/api-v3/config/core/v3/protocol.proto#envoy-v3-api-field-config-core-v3-httpprotocoloptions-idle-timeout for more information.

StreamIdleTimeout defines how long the proxy should wait while there is no request activity (for HTTP/1.1) or stream activity (for HTTP/2) before terminating the HTTP request or stream. Set to “infinity” to disable the timeout entirely.

See https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/api-v3/extensions/filters/network/http_connection_manager/v3/http_connection_manager.proto#envoy-v3-api-field-extensions-filters-network-http-connection-manager-v3-httpconnectionmanager-stream-idle-timeout for more information.

MaxConnectionDuration defines the maximum period of time after an HTTP connection has been established from the client to the proxy before it is closed by the proxy, regardless of whether there has been activity or not. Omit or set to “infinity” for no max duration.

See https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/api-v3/config/core/v3/protocol.proto#envoy-v3-api-field-config-core-v3-httpprotocoloptions-max-connection-duration for more information.

DelayedCloseTimeout defines how long envoy will wait, once connection close processing has been initiated, for the downstream peer to close the connection before Envoy closes the socket associated with the connection.

Setting this timeout to ‘infinity’ will disable it, equivalent to setting it to ‘0’ in Envoy. Leaving it unset will result in the Envoy default value being used.

See https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/api-v3/extensions/filters/network/http_connection_manager/v3/http_connection_manager.proto#envoy-v3-api-field-extensions-filters-network-http-connection-manager-v3-httpconnectionmanager-delayed-close-timeout for more information.

ConnectionShutdownGracePeriod defines how long the proxy will wait between sending an initial GOAWAY frame and a second, final GOAWAY frame when terminating an HTTP/2 connection. During this grace period, the proxy will continue to respond to new streams. After the final GOAWAY frame has been sent, the proxy will refuse new streams.

See https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/api-v3/extensions/filters/network/http_connection_manager/v3/http_connection_manager.proto#envoy-v3-api-field-extensions-filters-network-http-connection-manager-v3-httpconnectionmanager-drain-timeout for more information.

ConnectTimeout defines how long the proxy should wait when establishing connection to upstream service. If not set, a default value of 2 seconds will be used.

See https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/api-v3/config/cluster/v3/cluster.proto#envoy-v3-api-field-config-cluster-v3-cluster-connect-timeout for more information.
