How to Expose Services externally

[jseiser]

Im not seeing anything in the documentation, that discuses how to configure the services being created for the various accepters. e.g., I would want openwire to be expose externally via service of type load balancer, with annotations in place to properly configure the AWS NLB.

Thanks,

if you set expose to true for the acceptor, the operator will create a service of type ClusterIP and an ingress.
You may try it and see if that meets your requirement.

Wouldnt ssl pass through, require being able to set annotation on the created ingress like I was asking in the previous post?

metadata:
  annotations:
    cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: cert-manager-r53-prod <-- Cluster Issuer for the TLS on the Ingress
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/service-upstream: "true" <-- mesh
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-passthrough: "true" <-- enable pass through

@jseiser the operator already adds the annotation to require ssl-passthrough: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-passthrough:

Looking at that code, im not seeing where/how we would provide additional annotations or labels. I also am not seeing where you could provide the ingressClass to use. Our clusters have multiple ingress classes, and then depending on which ingressClass you select, you would still need to provide various labels/annotations for anything to work.

@jseiser I have created #588 to support custom annotations and labels for all resources created by the operator and in meantime you could create manually the ingress resource required for your use case.

We are still in the process of migrating from AMQ Classic, to AMQ Artemis so Im OK to wait.

Thanks for opening the issue.

@jseiser a solution for #588 was implemented ad included in 1.0.16, see Custom Labels and Annotations on supporting resources; Services, Ingress, Secrets etc.
