I had sticky session working in my dev environment with minibike with following configurations:
Ingress:
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: gl-ingress
annotations:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/affinity: cookie
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "gce"
kubernetes.io/ingress.global-static-ip-name: "projects/oceanic-isotope-199421/global/addresses/web-static-ip"
spec:
backend:
serviceName: gl-ui-service
servicePort: 80
rules:
- http:
paths:
- path: /api/*
backend:
serviceName: gl-api-service
servicePort: 8080
Service:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: gl-api-service
labels:
app: gl-api
annotations:
ingress.kubernetes.io/affinity: 'cookie'
spec:
type: NodePort
ports:
- port: 8080
protocol: TCP
selector:
app: gl-api
Now that I have deployed my project to GKE sticky session no longer function. I believe the reason is that the Global Load Balancer configured in GKE does not have session affinity with the NGINX Ingress controller. Anyone have any luck wiring this up? Any help would be appreciated. I wanting to establish session affinity: Client Browser > Load Balancer > Ingress > Service. The actual session lives in the pods behind the service. Its an API Gateway (built with Zuul).
