使用F5与Openshift集成目的

外部流量访问应用时,通过F5 BIG-IP硬件设备直接代理到集群中的Pod。
这样做的好处,很明显。

  • 使用硬件负载均衡器替换掉软件负载均衡器,提高性能。
  • F5有更灵活的配置,可以实现更复杂的流量控制

Openshift操作

Openshift通过BIG-IP Controller来控制BIG-IP设备。由于Openshift是基于Kubernetes的,所以它们使用同一个Controller(k8s-bigip-ctlr)。BIG-IP Controller为集群中的应用配置BIG-IP对象,提供南北流量的服务。

F5集成Openshift原理图
BIG-IP Controller有两种方式来使用F5 BIG-IP设备

  • 为Openshift中的Service提供代理流量
  • 为Openshift中的Route提供代理流量

为Openshift中的Service提供代理流量_(不介绍具体部署操作)_

这种方式,我们测试下来发现,需要为对外提供服务的Service绑定到F5的不同端口,同时外部访问应用时需要指定端口号。如:
app1.openshift.example.com:8000, app2.openshift.example.com:8001app3.openshift.example.com:8002,其中端口号不能重复。

  • 这种方式在真正使用时不能满足业务需求,除非在F5的前面再加一层代理,这又增加了架构的复杂性。
  • 理想的状态是,所以的App应用的HTTP请求都访问F5的80端口,而HTTPS的请求访问F5的443端口,根据请求的域名路由到对应的Pool中(每个Pool是一个Service下的所有Pod的列表)。
  • 很高兴告诉大家,第二种方式能够满足上面的需求

为Openshift中的Route提供代理流量

使用BIG-IP作为Openshift的Router,能实现以下功能:

  • 为Services创建BIG-IP本地流量规则
  • 提供HTTP/HTTPS路由
  • 为Route资源添加BIG-IP健康检查

本文只介绍,如何使用F5提供HTTP/HTTPS路由。这也是最核心的部分。

    说明

  • Openshit上创建Service后,F5会自动创建新的Pool,Pool里的资源即为Service下的Pod
  • 请求到达F5后,F5根据请求的域名,找到对应的Pool,请求直接到达Pod。不会请求集群里的Route。
