Traffic Routing and SSL Termination with Ingress

OneData Software employs Kubernetes Ingress controllers to manage external HTTP/S traffic, directing it to appropriate backend services within the cluster. This setup allows for centralized traffic control, enabling features like host-based and path-based routing, which are essential for microservices architectures. SSL/TLS Termination

To enhance security and performance, OneData implements SSL/TLS termination at the Ingress level. This means that encrypted traffic is decrypted at the Ingress controller, and only unencrypted traffic is forwarded to backend services. This approach offers several benefits:

• Offloading SSL/TLS Decryption: Reduces the computational load on backend services, allowing them to focus on application logic.

• Simplified Certificate Management: Certificates are managed centrally at the Ingress level, streamlining updates and renewals.

• Enhanced Security: Ensures that traffic within the cluster is encrypted, maintaining data integrity and confidentiality. OneData utilizes tools like Cert-Manager to automate the issuance and renewal of SSL/TLS certificates, integrating seamlessly with Kubernetes resources. Integration with AWS Services In AWS environments, OneData integrates Kubernetes Ingress controllers with services like the AWS Load Balancer Controller and AWS Certificate Manager (ACM). This integration facilitates:

• Automated Certificate Management: ACM handles the provisioning and renewal of certificates, reducing manual intervention.

• Scalable Load Balancing: The AWS Load Balancer Controller provisions Application Load Balancers (ALBs) that distribute traffic across backend services, ensuring high availability and fault tolerance.

• End-to-End Encryption: Maintains encrypted connections from the client to the Ingress controller and from the Ingress controller to backend services.

This integration ensures that OneData's applications are secure, scalable, and compliant with best practices for cloud-native deployments.
