Setting up load balancers and DNS

Acceptor

To set up load balancers and DNS for the Acceptor service, see the following settings:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  namespace: instana-core
  name: loadbalancer-acceptor
spec:
  type: LoadBalancer
  loadBalancerIP: <your loadbalancer IP>
  ports:
    - name: http-service
      port: 443
      protocol: TCP
      targetPort: http-service
  selector:
    app.kubernetes.io/name: instana
    app.kubernetes.io/component: acceptor
    instana.io/group: service

Configure the acceptor DNS name, agentAcceptorConfig, in the CoreSpec. Your DNS needs to provide the mapping from this domain to the IP address as an A record.

Gateway

To set up load balancers and DNS for the Gateway service, see the following settings:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  namespace: instana-core
  name: loadbalancer-gateway
spec:
  type: LoadBalancer
  loadBalancerIP: <your loadbalancer IP>
  ports:
    - name: https
      port: 443
      protocol: TCP
      targetPort: https
    - name: http
      port: 80
      protocol: TCP
      targetPort: http
  selector:
    app.kubernetes.io/name: instana
    app.kubernetes.io/component: gateway
    instana.io/group: service

Configure the gateway DNS name, base_domain, in the CoreSpec. You need to set up A records in your DNS for the base_domain and for all tenant unit subdomains

• <base_domain>
• <unit-name>-<tenant-name>.<base_domain>
