It will be preserved here for the foreseeable future for reference. Please note that the last version released works with Istio 0.7. # NGINX Architecture with Istio Service Mesh This repository provides an implementation of a NGINX based service mesh (nginMesh). nginMesh is compatible with Istio. It leverages NGINX as a sidecar proxy. ## What is Service Mesh and Istio? Please check https://istio.io for a detailed explanation of the service mesh. ## Production Status The current version of nginMesh is designed to work with Istio release 0.7.1. It should not be used in production environments. ## Demo [Recorded demo](https://www.nginx.com/resources/webinars/istio-the-extensible-service-mesh/) of nginMesh depoyment. ## Architecture The diagram below depicts how an NGINX sidecar proxy is implemented. The sidecar uses the open source version of NGINX compiled with modules for tracing and monitoring. ![Alt text](/images/nginx_sidecar.png?raw=true "NGINX Sidecar") The diagram below is an alternative architectural view - ![Alt text](/images/nginMesh%20architecture%20-%20Lee%20Calcote.png?raw=true "nginMesh Diagram") To learn more about the sidecar implementation, see [this document](istio/agent). ## Quick Start Below are instructions to quickly install and configure nginMesh. Currently, only Kubernetes environment is supported. ### Prerequisites Make sure you have a cluster with Kubernetes 1.9 or newer. Please see [Prerequisites](https://archive.istio.io/v0.7/docs/setup/kubernetes/quick-start.html#prerequisites) for setting up a kubernetes cluster. ### Install Istio and nginMesh nginMesh requires installation of Istio first. 1. Download and install Istio 0.7.1: ``` curl -L https://git.io/getLatestIstio | ISTIO_VERSION=0.7.1 sh - ``` 2. Download nginMesh release 0.7.1: ``` curl -L https://github.com/nginxinc/nginmesh/releases/download/v0.7.1/nginmesh-0.7.1.tar.gz | tar zx ``` 3. Deploy Istio: ``` kubectl create -f istio-0.7.1/install/kubernetes/istio.yaml ``` 4. Ensure the following Kubernetes services are deployed: istio-pilot, istio-mixer, istio-ingress: ``` kubectl get svc -n istio-system ``` ``` istio-ingress LoadBalancer 10.47.252.40 35.237.173.47 80:32171/TCP,443:32198/TCP 19h istio-mixer ClusterIP 10.47.251.225 9091/TCP,15004/TCP,9093/TCP,9094/TCP,9102/TCP,9125/UDP,42422/TCP 19h istio-pilot ClusterIP 10.47.254.118 15003/TCP,15005/TCP,15007/TCP,15010/TCP,8080/TCP,9093/TCP,443/TCP 19h istio-sidecar-injector ClusterIP 10.47.242.139 443/TCP 9h ``` 5. Ensure the following Kubernetes pods are up and running: istio-pilot-* , istio-mixer-* , istio-ingress-* and istio-initializer-*: ``` kubectl get pods -n istio-system ``` ``` istio-ca-86f55cc46f-nprhw 1/1 Running 0 19h istio-ingress-5bb556fcbf-c7tgt 1/1 Running 0 19h istio-mixer-86f5df6997-fvzjx 3/3 Running 0 19h istio-pilot-67d6ddbdf6-xhztz 2/2 Running 0 19h istio-sidecar-injector-5b8c78fd6-8dvq6 1/1 Running 0 9h ``` 6. Enable automatic sidecar injection: ``` nginmesh-0.7.1/install/kubernetes/install-sidecar.sh ``` 7. Verify that the istio-injection label is not applied to the default namespace: ``` kubectl get namespace -L istio-injection ``` ``` NAME STATUS AGE ISTIO-INJECTION default Active 1h istio-system Active 1h kube-public Active 1h kube-system Active 1h ``` ### Deploy a Sample Application In this section we deploy the Bookinfo application, which is taken from the Istio samples. Please see [Bookinfo](https://istio.io/docs/guides/bookinfo.html) for more details. 1. Label the default namespace with istio-injection=enabled: ``` kubectl label namespace default istio-injection=enabled ``` 2. Deploy the application: ``` kubectl apply -f istio-0.7.1/samples/bookinfo/kube/bookinfo.yaml ``` 3. Confirm that all application services are deployed: productpage, details, reviews, ratings: ``` kubectl get services ``` ``` NAME CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE details 10.0.0.31 9080/TCP 6m kubernetes 10.0.0.1 443/TCP 7d productpage 10.0.0.120 9080/TCP 6m ratings 10.0.0.15 9080/TCP 6m reviews 10.0.0.170 9080/TCP 6m ``` 4. Confirm that all application pods are running --details-v1-* , productpage-v1-* , ratings-v1-* , reviews-v1-* , reviews-v2-* and reviews-v3-*: ``` kubectl get pods ``` ``` NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE details-v1-1520924117-48z17 2/2 Running 0 6m productpage-v1-560495357-jk1lz 2/2 Running 0 6m ratings-v1-734492171-rnr5l 2/2 Running 0 6m reviews-v1-874083890-f0qf0 2/2 Running 0 6m reviews-v2-1343845940-b34q5 2/2 Running 0 6m reviews-v3-1813607990-8ch52 2/2 Running 0 6m ``` 5. Get the public IP of the Istio Ingress controller. If the cluster is running in an environment that supports external load balancers: ``` kubectl get svc -n istio-system | grep -E 'EXTERNAL-IP|istio-ingress' ``` 6. Open the Bookinfo application in a browser using the following link: ``` http:///productpage ``` ### Uninstall the Application 1. To uninstall application, run: ``` ./istio-0.7.1/samples/bookinfo/kube/cleanup.sh ``` ### Uninstall Istio 1. To uninstall the Istio core components: ``` kubectl delete -f istio-0.7.1/install/kubernetes/istio.yaml ``` 2. To uninstall the initializer, run: ``` nginmesh-0.7.1/install/kubernetes/delete-sidecar.sh ``` ## Limitations nginMesh has the following limitations: * TCP and gRPC traffic is not supported. * Quota Check is not supported. * Only Kubernetes is supported. All sidecar-related limitations and supported traffic management rules are described [here](istio/agent).
