ExternalWorkload

Proto: external_workload.proto

Package: networking.gloo.solo.io

Create an in-mesh identity for workloads that are external to a Kubernetes workload cluster to enable routing to and from those workloads in Gloo Mesh. For example, after you onboard a VM to Gloo Mesh, you might create an ExternalWorkload to represent a set of workloads that run on the virtual machine or bare metal instance. When an ExternalWorkload is defined for a given workspace, it can be referenced in:

Example: This example provisions an identity for services that listen on port 5000 and that run either on a GCP VM that uses the specified cloud IAM service account, or an AWS VM that is in the specified security group ID. The identity is created in the vm-config namespace of the workload-cluster.

identitySelector (ExternalWorkloadSpec.IdentitySelector)

The conditions under which an external workload is selected. For example, you might select a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) VM by specifying gcp.serviceAccount: <VM_service_account>. This field is optional when you use a join token to attest the external workload. If you specify multiple identity selectors, an external workload is selected when at least one of the selectors matches.
connectedClusters (repeated ExternalWorkloadSpec.ConnectedClustersEntry)

A map of cluster names to the namespace within the cluster that the external workload is registered in.
