ingress-annotator

The Ingress Annotator is a Kubernetes utility designed to streamline the management and application of annotations across Ingress resources within your clusters. With this tool, you can define reusable annotation rules in a ConfigMap, which are automatically propagated to your Ingresses or all Ingresses within a specified namespace based on simple annotation references. This ensures that updates to your annotation rules are applied immediately and consistently across relevant Ingress resources, reducing the risk of errors and enhancing the maintainability of your deployments.

Features

• Centralized Annotation Management: Define reusable annotations in a ConfigMap that can be applied to multiple Ingress resources or entire namespaces. This promotes consistency and reduces the need for repetitive configurations.
• Flexible and Scalable Application: Apply annotation rules to individual Ingress resources or automatically propagate them across all Ingresses within a namespace, simplifying configuration management in your Kubernetes environment.
• Dynamic and Automatic Updates: Any changes to the annotation rules in the ConfigMap are automatically applied to all relevant Ingress resources or namespaces. Use the annotator.ingress.kubernetes.io/rules annotation on Ingresses or namespaces to dynamically control which rules are applied, ensuring precise and up-to-date configurations.

Usage

1. Create a ConfigMap with your annotation rules:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: ingress-annotator
  namespace: ingress-annotator
data:
  # Annotation rules that can be referenced in Ingress or Namespace annotations
  rules: |
    proxy-body-size:
      nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size: "8m"
    rewrite-target:
      nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: "/"
    oauth2-proxy:
      nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-signin: "https://oauth2-proxy.example.com/oauth2/start?rd=https://$host$request_uri"
      nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-url: "https://oauth2-proxy.example.com/oauth2/auth"
    private:
      nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/whitelist-source-range: "192.168.1.0/24,10.0.0.0/16"

2. Apply the ConfigMap:

kubectl apply -f configmap.yaml

3. Annotate Ingresses or Namespaces using the annotation annotator.ingress.kubernetes.io/rules as follows:

For Ingress:

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: ingress1
  namespace: namespace1
  annotations:
    annotator.ingress.kubernetes.io/rules: "oauth2-proxy,private"
    ...

For Namespace:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
  name: namespace1
  annotations:
    annotator.ingress.kubernetes.io/rules: "oauth2-proxy,private"
    ...

4. Verify that the annotations have been applied to the specified Ingress resources:

kubectl get ingress <ingress-name> -n <namespace> -o yaml

Example output:

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: ingress1
  namespace: namespace1
  annotations:
    annotator.ingress.kubernetes.io/managed-annotations: "{\"annotator.ingress.kubernetes.io/rules\":\"oauth2-proxy,private\",\"nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-signin\":\"https://oauth2-proxy.example.com/oauth2/start?rd=https://$host$request_uri\",\"nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-url\":\"https://oauth2-proxy.example.com/oauth2/auth\",\"nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/whitelist-source-range\":\"192.168.1.0/24,10.0.0.0/16\"}"
    annotator.ingress.kubernetes.io/rules: "oauth2-proxy,private"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-signin: "https://oauth2-proxy.example.com/oauth2/start?rd=https://$host$request_uri"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-url: "https://oauth2-proxy.example.com/oauth2/auth"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/whitelist-source-range: "192.168.1.0/24,10.0.0.0/16"
    ...
