Set timeouts and retries for a Service

If you don’t have a Konnect account, you can get started quickly with our onboarding wizard.

1. The following Konnect items are required to complete this tutorial:
   • Personal access token (PAT): Create a new personal access token by opening the Konnect PAT page and selecting Generate Token.

2. Set the personal access token as an environment variable:

   export KONNECT_TOKEN='YOUR KONNECT TOKEN'

   Copied!

1. Add the Kong Helm charts:

   helm repo add kong https://charts.konghq.com
   helm repo update

   Copied!

2. Install Kong Operator using Helm:

   helm upgrade --install kong-operator kong/kong-operator -n kong-system \
     --create-namespace \
     --set image.tag=2.2 \
     --set env.ENABLE_CONTROLLER_KONNECT=true

   Copied!

   helm upgrade --install kong-operator kong/kong-operator -n kong-system \
     --create-namespace \
     --set image.tag=2.2

   Copied!

   If you want cert-manager to issue and rotate the admission and conversion webhook certificates, install cert-manager to your cluster and enable cert-manager integration by passing the following argument while installing, in the next step:

   --set global.webhooks.options.certManager.enabled=true

   Copied!

   If you do not enable this, the chart will generate and inject self-signed certificates automatically. We recommend enabling cert-manager to manage the lifecycle of these certificates. Kong Operator needs a certificate authority to sign the certificate for mTLS communication between the control plane and the data plane. This is handled automatically by the Helm chart. If you need to provide a custom CA certificate, refer to the certificateAuthority section in the values.yaml of the Helm chart to learn how to create and reference your own CA certificate.

echo "
apiVersion: configuration.konghq.com/v1alpha1
kind: KongLicense
metadata:
 name: kong-license
rawLicenseString: '$(cat ./license.json)'
" | kubectl apply -f -

kubectl create namespace kong

Create the GatewayConfiguration, GatewayClass, and Gateway resources with basic configuration:

echo '
apiVersion: gateway-operator.konghq.com/v2beta1
kind: GatewayConfiguration
metadata:
  name: gateway-configuration
  namespace: kong
spec:
  dataPlaneOptions:
    deployment:
      podTemplateSpec:
        spec:
          containers:
            - image: kong/kong-gateway:3.14
              name: proxy
---
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: GatewayClass
metadata:
  name: gateway-class
spec:
  controllerName: konghq.com/gateway-operator
  parametersRef:
    group: gateway-operator.konghq.com
    kind: GatewayConfiguration
    name: gateway-configuration
    namespace: kong
---
apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Gateway
metadata:
  name: kong
  namespace: kong
spec:
  gatewayClassName: gateway-class
  listeners:
    - name: http
      port: 80
      protocol: HTTP' | kubectl apply -f -

1. Run the following command to create a sample httpbin Service:

   kubectl apply -f https://developer.konghq.com/manifests/kic/httpbin-service.yaml -n kong

   Copied!

2. Create an HTTPRoute resource:

   echo '
   apiVersion: gateway.networking.k8s.io/v1
   kind: HTTPRoute
   metadata:
     name: httpbin-route
     namespace: kong
     annotations:
       konghq.com/strip-path: "true"
       konghq.com/preserve-host: "false"
   spec:
     parentRefs:
       - name: kong
     rules:
       - matches:
           - path:
               type: PathPrefix
               value: /httpbin
         backendRefs:
           - name: httpbin
             kind: Service
             port: 80' | kubectl apply -f -
