Ingress HTTP Example

The example ingress configuration routes traffic to backend services from the bookinfo demo microservices app from the Istio project.

.. include:: demo-app.rst

.. _gs_basic_ingress:

.. include:: basic-ingress.rst

Make HTTP Requests

Check (with curl or in your browser) that you can make HTTP requests to that external address. The / path takes you to the home page for the bookinfo application.

From outside the cluster you can also make requests directly to the details service using the path /details. But you can't directly access other URL paths that weren't defined in basic-ingress.yaml.

For example, you can get JSON data from a request to <address>/details/1 and get back some data, but you will get a 404 error if you make a request to <address>/ratings.

$ curl --fail -s http://"$HTTP_INGRESS"/details/1 | jq
