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:

DetailedCondition

(Appears on: HTTPProxyStatus, TLSCertificateDelegationStatus, 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.

Timeout for receiving a response from the server after processing a request from client. If not supplied, Envoy’s default value of 15s applies.

idle
string
(Optional)

Timeout after which, if there are no active requests for this route, the connection between Envoy and the backend or Envoy and the external client will be closed. If not specified, there is no per-route idle timeout, though a connection manager-wide stream_idle_timeout default of 5m still applies.

UpstreamValidation

(Appears on: Service, ExtensionServiceSpec)

UpstreamValidation defines how to verify the backend service’s certificate

FieldDescription
caSecret
string

Name of the Kubernetes secret be used to validate the certificate presented by the backend

subjectName
string

Key which is expected to be present in the ‘subjectAltName’ of the presented certificate

VirtualHost

(Appears on: HTTPProxySpec)

VirtualHost appears at most once. If it is present, the object is considered to be a “root”.

FieldDescription
fqdn
string

The fully qualified domain name of the root of the ingress tree all leaves of the DAG rooted at this object relate to the fqdn.

tls
TLS
(Optional)

If present the fields describes TLS properties of the virtual host. The SNI names that will be matched on are described in fqdn, the tls.secretName secret must contain a certificate that itself contains a name that matches the FQDN.

authorization
AuthorizationServer
(Optional)

This field configures an extension service to perform authorization for this virtual host. Authorization can only be configured on virtual hosts that have TLS enabled. If the TLS configuration requires client certificate validation, the client certificate is always included in the authentication check request.

corsPolicy
CORSPolicy
(Optional)

Specifies the cross-origin policy to apply to the VirtualHost.

rateLimitPolicy
RateLimitPolicy
(Optional)

The policy for rate limiting on the virtual host.


projectcontour.io/v1alpha1

Package v1alpha1 contains API Schema definitions for the projectcontour.io v1alpha1 API group

Resource Types:

ExtensionService

ExtensionService is the schema for the Contour extension services API. An ExtensionService resource binds a network service to the Contour API so that Contour API features can be implemented by collaborating components.

FieldDescription
apiVersion
string
projectcontour.io/v1alpha1
kind
string
ExtensionService
metadata
Kubernetes meta/v1.ObjectMeta
Refer to the Kubernetes API documentation for the fields of the metadata field.
spec
ExtensionServiceSpec


services
[]ExtensionServiceTarget

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.

validation
UpstreamValidation
(Optional)

UpstreamValidation defines how to verify the backend service’s certificate

protocol
string
(Optional)

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.

loadBalancerPolicy
LoadBalancerPolicy
(Optional)

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

timeoutPolicy
TimeoutPolicy
(Optional)

The timeout policy for requests to the services.

protocolVersion
ExtensionProtocolVersion
(Optional)

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.

status
ExtensionServiceStatus

ExtensionProtocolVersion (string alias)

(Appears on: ExtensionServiceSpec)

ExtensionProtocolVersion is the version of the GRPC protocol used to access extension services. The only version currently supported is “v3”.

ExtensionServiceSpec

(Appears on: ExtensionService)

ExtensionServiceSpec defines the desired state of an ExtensionService resource.

FieldDescription
services
[]ExtensionServiceTarget

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.

validation
UpstreamValidation
(Optional)

UpstreamValidation defines how to verify the backend service’s certificate

protocol
string
(Optional)

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.

loadBalancerPolicy
LoadBalancerPolicy
(Optional)

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

timeoutPolicy
TimeoutPolicy
(Optional)

The timeout policy for requests to the services.

protocolVersion
ExtensionProtocolVersion
(Optional)

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.

ExtensionServiceStatus

(Appears on: ExtensionService)

ExtensionServiceStatus defines the observed state of an ExtensionService resource.

FieldDescription
conditions
[]DetailedCondition
(Optional)

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.

ExtensionServiceTarget

(Appears on: ExtensionServiceSpec)

ExtensionServiceTarget defines an Kubernetes Service to target with extension service traffic.

FieldDescription
name
string

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

port
int

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

weight
uint32
(Optional)

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