Assigning an egress IP address

As a cluster administrator, you can assign an egress IP address for traffic leaving the cluster from a namespace or from specific pods in a namespace.

Assigning an egress IP address to a namespace

You can assign one or more egress IP addresses to a namespace or to specific pods in a namespace.

Prerequisites

  • Install the OpenShift CLI (oc).

  • Log in to the cluster as a cluster administrator.

  • Configure at least one node to host an egress IP address.

Procedure

  1. Create an egressIP object:

    1. Create a <egressips_name>.yaml file where <egressips_name> is the name of the object.

    2. In the file that you created, define an egressIP object, as in the following example:

      apiVersion: k8s.ovn.org/v1
kind: egressIP
metadata:
  name: egress-project1
spec:
  egressIPs:
  - 192.168.127.10
  - 192.168.127.11
  namespaceSelector:
    matchLabels:
      env: qa

  2. To create the object, enter the following command.

    $ oc apply -f <egressips_name>.yaml (1)
    1 Replace <egressips_name> with the name of the object.
    Example output
    egressips.k8s.ovn.org/<egressips_name> created

  3. Optional: Save the <egressips_name>.yaml file so that you can make changes later.

  4. Add labels to the namespace that requires egress IP addresses. To add a label to the namespace of an egressIP object defined in step 1, run the following command:

    $ oc label ns <namespace> env=qa (1)
    1 Replace <namespace> with the namespace that requires egress IP addresses.
