Chapter 6. Creating Network Services
Network services provide access to Data Grid clusters for client connections.
6.1. Getting the Service for Internal Connections
By default, Data Grid Operator creates a service that provides access to Data Grid clusters from clients running in OpenShift.
This internal service has the same name as your Data Grid cluster, for example:
metadata: name: example-rhdatagrid
Procedure
Check that the internal service is available as follows:
$ oc get services NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) example-rhdatagrid ClusterIP 192.0.2.0 <none> 11222/TCP
Reference
6.2. Exposing Data Grid to External Clients
Expose Data Grid clusters to clients running outside OpenShift with external services.
Procedure
Specify an external service type with
spec.expose.type
in your Infinispan CR and then apply the changes.spec: ... expose: 1 type: LoadBalancer 2 nodePort: 30000 3
- 1
- Exposes an external service.
- 2
- Specifies either a
LoadBalancer
orNodePort
service resource type. - 3
- Defines the port where the external service is exposed. If you do not define a port, and the service type is
NodePort
, the platform selects a port to use. If the service type isLoadBalancer
, the exposed port is11222
by default.
LoadBalancer
Use for OpenShift clusters where a load balancer service is available to handle external network traffic. You can then use the URL for the load balancer service for client connections.
To access Data Grid with unencrypted Hot Rod client connections you must use a load balancer service.
NodePort
- Use for local OpenShift clusters.
Verification
-
Check that the
-external
service is available.
$ oc get services | grep external NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) example-rhdatagrid-external LoadBalancer 192.0.2.24 <none> 11222/TCP
