Azure AKS static IP Address for aks-istio-ingressgateway-external

I'm installing istio in azure via

az aks mesh enable --resource-group 'myrg' --name 'myk8s'

and then enable the external istio ingress gateways with

az aks mesh enable-ingress-gateway --resource-group 'myrg' --name 'myk8s' --ingress-gateway-type external

This all works fine. The last step creates a new public IP and associates the aks-istio-ingressgateway-external service with this IP. But I'd rather provide my own static IP for the ingress. Is there a way to do this via az or terraform?

Solution

  • It's not supported at the moment. Not all of the helm parameters you'd normally configure as available gateways.istio-ingressgateway.loadBalancerIP being one of them.

    I'd suggest raising the profile of this request with a comment over on the AKS GitHub issue.
