Process and route traffic
Set up intelligent routing for your Kubernetes and non-Kubernetes workloads, and learn how you can process and manipulate requests and responses.
Match incoming requests
URI path matching
Match the targeted path of an incoming request against specific path criteria.
Header matching
Specify a set of headers which incoming requests must match in entirety.
Query parameter matching
Specify a set of URL query parameters which requests must match in entirety.
HTTP method matching
Specify an HTTP method to match requests against.
Redirect and rewrite requests
Host redirect
Overwrite the host portion of the URL with another host.
Path redirect
Overwrite an entire path of the URL with another path.
Host rewrites
Replace the “Authority/Host” header with another host before forwarding the request.
Path rewrites
Replace the request path with another path before forwarding the request.
Direct responses
Send a direct response
Rather than routing incoming requests to your app, send back a pre-defined body and HTTP status response to the client.
Add headers to response
Optionally add headers before your direct response is sent back to the client.
Forward requests
Route within or across clusters
Use virtual destinations to route requests within or across clusters based on locality.
Route to external services
Use external services to route requests to an endpoint outside of your cluster.
Additional route table settings
Set default destinations
Set a default destination in a route table so that multiple routes can be easily assigned to that destination.
Weighted routing
Route to multiple versions of your app and determine the load that each version receives.
Add or remove header information
Learn how to manipulate request or response headers.
Route table delegation
Weighted route table delegation
Delegate routing to sub-tables based on an assigned order.
Route-specific delegation
Delegate routing to sub-tables based on individual route specificity.
