Deploying an egress router pod in redirect mode

    Define the configuration for an egress router pod in the object. The following YAML describes the fields for the configuration of an egress router pod in redirect mode:

    Example egress router pod specification

    When an egress router pod is deployed in redirect mode, you can specify redirection rules by using one or more of the following formats:

    • <port> <protocol> <ip_address> <remote_port> - As above, except that the connection is redirected to a different <remote_port> on <ip_address>.

    In the example that follows several rules are defined:

    • The first line redirects traffic from local port 80 to port on 203.0.113.25.

    • The second and third lines redirect local ports 8080 and 8443 to remote ports 80 and 443 on 203.0.113.26.

    Example configuration

    Prerequisites

    • Log in as a user with privileges.

    Procedure

    1. Create an egress router pod.

    2. Your pods can now connect to this service. Their connections are redirected to the corresponding ports on the external server, using the reserved egress IP address.
