Contour API Reference

Packages:

projectcontour.io/v1

Package v1 holds the specification for the projectcontour.io Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs).

In building this CRD, we’ve inadvertently overloaded the word “Condition”, so we’ve tried to make this spec clear as to which types of condition are which.

MatchConditions are used by Routes and Includes to specify rules to match requests against for either routing or inclusion.

DetailedConditions are used in the Status of these objects to hold information about the relevant state of the object and the world around it.

SubConditions are used underneath DetailedConditions to give more detail to errors or warnings.

Resource Types:

HTTPProxy

HTTPProxy is an Ingress CRD specification.

FieldDescription

DetailedCondition

(Appears on: HTTPProxyStatus, TLSCertificateDelegationStatus, ContourConfigurationStatus, ExtensionServiceStatus)

DetailedCondition is an extension of the normal Kubernetes conditions, with two extra fields to hold sub-conditions, which provide more detailed reasons for the state (True or False) of the condition.

errors holds information about sub-conditions which are fatal to that condition and render its state False.

warnings holds information about sub-conditions which are not fatal to that condition and do not force the state to be False.

Remember that Conditions have a type, a status, and a reason.

The type is the type of the condition, the most important one in this CRD set is Valid. Valid is a positive-polarity condition: when it is status: true there are no problems.

In more detail, status: true means that the object is has been ingested into Contour with no errors. warnings may still be present, and will be indicated in the Reason field. There must be zero entries in the errors slice in this case.

Valid, status: false means that the object has had one or more fatal errors during processing into Contour. The details of the errors will be present under the errors field. There must be at least one error in the errors slice if status is false.

For DetailedConditions of types other than Valid, the Condition must be in the negative polarity. When they have status true, there is an error. There must be at least one entry in the errors Subcondition slice. When they have status false, there are no serious errors, and there must be zero entries in the errors slice. In either case, there may be entries in the warnings slice.

Regardless of the polarity, the reason and message fields must be updated with either the detail of the reason (if there is one and only one entry in total across both the errors and warnings slices), or MultipleReasons if there is more than one entry.

FieldDescription
Condition
Kubernetes meta/v1.Condition

(Members of Condition are embedded into this type.)

errors
[]SubCondition

Errors contains a slice of relevant error subconditions for this object.

Subconditions are expected to appear when relevant (when there is a error), and disappear when not relevant. An empty slice here indicates no errors.

warnings

Subconditions are expected to appear when relevant (when there is a warning), and disappear when not relevant. An empty slice here indicates no warnings.

If specified and SkipClientCertValidation is true, client certificates will be required on requests. The name can be optionally prefixed with namespace “namespace/name”. When cross-namespace reference is used, TLSCertificateDelegation resource must exist in the namespace to grant access to the secret.

bool
(Optional)

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.

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. The name can be optionally prefixed with namespace “namespace/name”. When cross-namespace reference is used, TLSCertificateDelegation resource must exist in the namespace to grant access to the secret.

crlOnlyVerifyLeafCert
bool
(Optional)

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

optionalClientCertificate
bool
(Optional)

OptionalClientCertificate when set to true will request a client certificate but allow the connection to continue if the client does not provide one. If a client certificate is sent, it will be verified according to the other properties, which includes disabling validation if SkipClientCertValidation is set. Defaults to false.

FieldDescription
tos
int32
(Optional)

TimeoutParameters

(Appears on: EnvoyConfig)

FieldDescription
requestTimeout
string
(Optional)

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
string
(Optional)

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
string
(Optional)

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
string
(Optional)

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
string
(Optional)

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
string
(Optional)

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
