Egress Gateways
This example does not work in Minikube.
The Control Egress Traffic task shows how to configureIstio to allow access to external HTTP and HTTPS services from applications inside the mesh.There, the external services are called directly from the client sidecar.This example also shows how to configure Istio to call external services, although this timeindirectly via a dedicated egress gateway service.
Istio uses ingress and egress gatewaysto configure load balancers executing at the edge of a service mesh.An ingress gateway allows you to define entry points into the mesh that all incoming traffic flows through.Egress gateway is a symmetrical concept; it defines exit points from the mesh. Egress gateways allowyou to apply Istio features, for example, monitoring and route rules, to traffic exiting the mesh.
Use case
Consider an organization that has a strict security requirement that all traffic leavingthe service mesh must flow through a set of dedicated nodes. These nodes will run on dedicated machines,separated from the rest of the nodes running applications in the cluster. These special nodes will servefor policy enforcement on the egress traffic and will be monitored more thoroughly than other nodes.
Another use case is a cluster where the application nodes don’t have public IPs, so the in-mesh services that runon them cannot access the Internet. Defining an egress gateway, directing all the egress traffic through it, andallocating public IPs to the egress gateway nodes allows the application nodes to access external services in acontrolled way.
Before you begin
Setup Istio by following the instructions in the Installation guide.
Deploy the sleep sample app to use as a test source for sending requests.If you haveautomatic sidecar injectionenabled, run the following command to deploy the sample app:
Zip
$ kubectl apply -f @samples/sleep/sleep.yaml@
Otherwise, manually inject the sidecar before deploying the sleep
application with the following command:
Zip
$ kubectl apply -f <(istioctl kube-inject -f @samples/sleep/sleep.yaml@)
You can use any pod with curl
installed as a test source.
- Set the
SOURCE_POD
environment variable to the name of your source pod:
$ export SOURCE_POD=$(kubectl get pod -l app=sleep -o jsonpath={.items..metadata.name})
- Enable Envoy’s access logging
Deploy Istio egress gateway
- Check if the Istio egress gateway is deployed:
$ kubectl get pod -l istio=egressgateway -n istio-system
If no pods are returned, deploy the Istio egress gateway by performing the next step.
- Run the following command:
$ istioctl manifest apply --set values.global.istioNamespace=istio-system \
--set values.gateways.istio-ingressgateway.enabled=false \
--set values.gateways.istio-egressgateway.enabled=true
The following instructions create a destination rule for the egress gateway in the default
namespaceand assume that the client, SOURCE_POD
, is also running in the default
namespace.If not, the destination rule will not be found on thedestination rule lookup pathand the client requests will fail.
Egress gateway for HTTP traffic
First create a ServiceEntry
to allow direct traffic to an external service.
- Define a
ServiceEntry
foredition.cnn.com
:
$ kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: ServiceEntry
metadata:
name: cnn
spec:
hosts:
- edition.cnn.com
ports:
- number: 80
name: http-port
protocol: HTTP
- number: 443
name: https
protocol: HTTPS
resolution: DNS
EOF
- Verify that your
ServiceEntry
was applied correctly by sending an HTTP request to http://edition.cnn.com/politics.
$ kubectl exec -it $SOURCE_POD -c sleep -- curl -sL -o /dev/null -D - http://edition.cnn.com/politics
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently

The output should be the same as in theTLS Origination for Egress Traffic example,without TLS origination.
- Create an egress
Gateway
for edition.cnn.com, port 80, and a destination rule fortraffic directed to the egress gateway.
Choose the instructions corresponding to whether or not you havemutual TLS Authentication enabled in Istio.

Cleanup HTTPS gateway
$ kubectl delete serviceentry cnn

Additional security considerations
Note that defining an egress Gateway
in Istio does not in itself provides any special treatment for the nodeson which the egress gateway service runs. It is up to the cluster administrator or the cloud provider to deploythe egress gateways on dedicated nodes and to introduce additional security measures to make these nodes moresecure than the rest of the mesh.
Istio cannot securely enforce that all egress traffic actually flows through the egress gateways. Istio onlyenables such flow through its sidecar proxies. If attackers bypass the sidecar proxy, they could directly accessexternal services without traversing the egress gateway. Thus, the attackers escape Istio’s control and monitoring.The cluster administrator or the cloud provider must ensure that no traffic leaves the mesh bypassing the egressgateway. Mechanisms external to Istio must enforce this requirement. For example, the cluster administratorcan configure a firewall to deny all traffic not coming from the egress gateway.The Kubernetes network policies canalso forbid all the egress traffic not originating from the egress gateway (seethe next section for an example).Additionally, the cluster administrator or the cloud provider can configure the network to ensure application nodes canonly access the Internet via a gateway. To do this, the cluster administrator or the cloud provider can prevent theallocation of public IPs to pods other than gateways and can configure NAT devices to drop packets not originating atthe egress gateways.
Apply Kubernetes network policies
This section shows you how to create aKubernetes network policy to preventbypassing of the egress gateway. To test the network policy, you create a namespace, test-egress
, deploythe sleep sample to it, and then attempt to send requests to a gateway-securedexternal service.
Follow the steps in theEgress gateway for HTTPS traffic section.
Create the
test-egress
namespace:
$ kubectl create namespace test-egress
- Deploy the sleep sample to the
test-egress
namespace.
Zip
$ kubectl apply -n test-egress -f @samples/sleep/sleep.yaml@
- Check that the deployed pod has a single container with no Istio sidecar attached:
$ kubectl get pod $(kubectl get pod -n test-egress -l app=sleep -o jsonpath={.items..metadata.name}) -n test-egress
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
sleep-776b7bcdcd-z7mc4 1/1 Running 0 18m
- Send an HTTPS request to https://edition.cnn.com/politics from the
sleep
pod inthetest-egress
namespace. The request will succeed since you did not define any restrictive policies yet.
$ kubectl exec -it $(kubectl get pod -n test-egress -l app=sleep -o jsonpath={.items..metadata.name}) -n test-egress -c sleep -- curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" https://edition.cnn.com/politics
200
- Label the namespaces where the Istio components (the control plane and the gateways) run.If you deployed the Istio components to
istio-system
, the command is:
$ kubectl label namespace istio-system istio=system
- Label the
kube-system
namespace.
$ kubectl label ns kube-system kube-system=true
- Define a
NetworkPolicy
to limit the egress traffic from thetest-egress
namespace to traffic destined toistio-system
, and to thekube-system
DNS service (port 53):
$ cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -n test-egress -f -
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: NetworkPolicy
metadata:
name: allow-egress-to-istio-system-and-kube-dns

- namespaceSelector:
matchLabels:
kube-system: "true"
ports:
- protocol: UDP
port: 53
- to:
- namespaceSelector:
matchLabels:
istio: system
EOF
- Resend the previous HTTPS request to https://edition.cnn.com/politics. Now itshould fail since the traffic is blocked by the network policy. Note that the
sleep
pod cannot bypassistio-egressgateway
. The only way it can accessedition.cnn.com
is by using an Istio sidecar proxy and bydirecting the traffic toistio-egressgateway
. This setting demonstrates that even if some malicious pod manages tobypass its sidecar proxy, it will not be able to access external sites and will be blocked by the network policy.
$ kubectl exec -it $(kubectl get pod -n test-egress -l app=sleep -o jsonpath={.items..metadata.name}) -n test-egress -c sleep -- curl -v https://edition.cnn.com/politics

- Now inject an Istio sidecar proxy into the
sleep
pod in thetest-egress
namespace by first enablingautomatic sidecar proxy injection in thetest-egress
namespace:
$ kubectl label namespace test-egress istio-injection=enabled
- Then redeploy the
sleep
deployment:
Zip
$ kubectl delete deployment sleep -n test-egress
$ kubectl apply -f @samples/sleep/sleep.yaml@ -n test-egress
- Check that the deployed pod has two containers, including the Istio sidecar proxy (
istio-proxy
):
$ kubectl get pod $(kubectl get pod -n test-egress -l app=sleep -o jsonpath={.items..metadata.name}) -n test-egress -o jsonpath='{.spec.containers[*].name}'
sleep istio-proxy
- Create the same destination rule as for the
sleep
pod in thedefault
namespace to direct the traffic through the egress gateway:

Troubleshooting
Check if you have mutual TLS Authentication enabled in Istio, following thesteps in Verify mutual TLS configuration.If mutual TLS is enabled, make sure you create the configurationitems accordingly (note the remarks If you have mutual TLS Authentication enabled in Istio, you must create…).
If mutual TLS Authentication is enabled, verify the correct certificate of theegress gateway:
$ kubectl exec -i -n istio-system $(kubectl get pod -l istio=egressgateway -n istio-system -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') -- cat /etc/certs/cert-chain.pem | openssl x509 -text -noout | grep 'Subject Alternative Name' -A 1
