    Egress using Wildcard Hosts

    The Control Egress Traffic task andthe Configure an Egress Gateway exampledescribe how to configure egress traffic for specific hostnames, like edition.cnn.com.This example shows how to enable egress traffic for a set of hosts in a common domain, forexample *.wikipedia.org, instead of configuring each and every host separately.

    Background

    Suppose you want to enable egress traffic in Istio for the wikipedia.org sites in all languages.Each version of wikipedia.org in a particular language has its own hostname, e.g., en.wikipedia.org andde.wikipedia.org in the English and the German languages, respectively.You want to enable egress traffic by common configuration items for all the Wikipedia sites,without the need to specify every language’s site separately.

    Before you begin

    • Setup Istio by following the instructions in the Installation guide.

    • Deploy the sleep sample app to use as a test source for sending requests.If you haveautomatic sidecar injectionenabled, run the following command to deploy the sample app:

    Zip

    1. $ kubectl apply -f @samples/sleep/sleep.yaml@

    Otherwise, manually inject the sidecar before deploying the sleep application with the following command:

    Zip

    1. $ kubectl apply -f <(istioctl kube-inject -f @samples/sleep/sleep.yaml@)

    You can use any pod with curl installed as a test source.

    • Set the SOURCE_POD environment variable to the name of your source pod:
    1. $ export SOURCE_POD=$(kubectl get pod -l app=sleep -o jsonpath={.items..metadata.name})
    • Deploy Istio egress gateway.

    • Enable Envoy’s access logging

    Configure direct traffic to a wildcard host

    The first, and simplest, way to access a set of hosts within a common domain is by configuringa simple ServiceEntry with a wildcard host and calling the services directly from the sidecar.When calling services directly (i.e., not via an egress gateway), the configuration fora wildcard host is no different than that of any other (e.g., fully qualified) host,only much more convenient when there are many hosts within the common domain.

    • Define a ServiceEntry and corresponding VirtualSevice for *.wikipedia.org:
    1. $ kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
    2. apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
    3. kind: ServiceEntry

    Configure egress gateway traffic to a wildcard host

    The configuration for accessing a wildcard host via an egress gateway depends on whether or notthe set of wildcard domains are served by a single common host.This is the case for *.wikipedia.org. All of the language-specific sites are served by everyone of the wikipedia.org servers. You can route the traffic to an IP of any *.wikipedia.org site,including www.wikipedia.org, and it will manage to serveany specific site.

    In the general case, where all the domain names of a wildcard are not served by a single hosting server,a more complex configuration is required.

    Wildcard configuration for a single hosting server

    When all wildcard hosts are served by a single server, the configuration foregress gateway-based access to a wildcard host is very similar to that of any host, with one exception:the configured route destination will not be the same as the configured host,i.e., the wildcard. It will instead be configured with the host of the single server forthe set of domains.

    • Create an egress Gateway for *.wikipedia.org, a destination rule and a virtual serviceto direct the traffic through the egress gateway and from the egress gateway to the external service.

    Wildcard configuration for arbitrary domains

    The configuration in the previous section worked because all the *.wikipedia.org sites canbe served by any one of the wikipedia.org servers. However, this is not always the case.For example, you may want to configure egress control for access to more generalwildcard domains like .com or .org.

    Configuring traffic to arbitrary wildcard domains introduces a challenge for Istio gateways. In the previous sectionyou directed the traffic to www.wikipedia.org, which was made known to your gateway during configuration.The gateway, however, would not know the IP address of any arbitrary host it receives in a request.This is due to a limitation of Envoy, the proxy used by the default Istio egress gateway.Envoy routes traffic either to predefined hosts, predefined IP addresses, or to the original destination IP address ofthe request. In the gateway case, the original destination IP of the request is lost since the request is first routedto the egress gateway and its destination IP address is the IP address of the gateway.

    Consequently, the Istio gateway based on Envoy cannot route traffic to an arbitrary host that is not preconfigured,and therefore is unable to perform traffic control for arbitrary wildcard domains.To enable such traffic control for HTTPS, and for any TLS, you need to deploy an SNI forward proxy in addition to Envoy.Envoy will route the requests destined for a wildcard domain to the SNI forward proxy, which, in turn, will forward therequests to the destination specified by the SNI value.

    The egress gateway with SNI proxy and the related parts of the Istio architecture are shown in the following diagram:

    Egress Gateway with SNI proxy

    Egress Gateway with SNI proxy

    The following sections show you how to redeploy the egress gateway with an SNI proxy and then configure Istio to routeHTTPS traffic through the gateway to arbitrary wildcard domains.

    Setup egress gateway with SNI proxy

    In this section you deploy an egress gateway with an SNI proxy in addition to the standard Istio Envoy proxy.This example uses Nginx for the SNI proxy, although any SNI proxy that is capable of routing trafficaccording to arbitrary, not-preconfigured, SNI values would do.The SNI proxy will listen on port 8443, although you can use any port other than the ports specified forthe egress Gateway and for the VirtualServices bound to it.The SNI proxy will forward the traffic to port 443.

    • Create a configuration file for the Nginx SNI proxy. You may want to edit the file to specify additional Nginxsettings, if required. Note that the listen directive of the server specifies port 8443, its proxy_passdirective uses ssl_preread_server_name with port 443 and ssl_preread is on to enable SNI reading.
    1. $ cat <<EOF > ./sni-proxy.conf
    2. user www-data;
    3. events {
    4. }
    5. stream {
    6. log_format log_stream '\$remote_addr [\$time_local] \$protocol [\$ssl_preread_server_name]'
    7. '\$status \$bytes_sent \$bytes_received \$session_time';
    8. access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log log_stream;
    9. error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
    10. # tcp forward proxy by SNI
    11. server {
    12. resolver 8.8.8.8 ipv6=off;
    13. listen 127.0.0.1:8443;
    14. proxy_pass \$ssl_preread_server_name:443;
    15. ssl_preread on;
    16. }
    17. }
    18. EOF
    • Create a Kubernetes ConfigMapto hold the configuration of the Nginx SNI proxy:
    1. $ kubectl create configmap egress-sni-proxy-configmap -n istio-system --from-file=nginx.conf=./sni-proxy.conf
    • The following command will generate istio-egressgateway-with-sni-proxy.yaml which you can optionally edit and then deploy.

    • Check the log of the egress gateway’s Envoy proxy. If Istio is deployed in the istio-system namespace, the command toprint the log is:
    1. $ kubectl logs -l istio=egressgateway-with-sni-proxy -c istio-proxy -n istio-system

    You should see lines similar to the following:
