Kubernetes services

Page as Markdown
Reference a Kubernetes Service directly from an HTTPRoute as the backend for a route.
Route traffic to an HTTP or HTTPS Kubernetes service.
You can route to a Kubernetes service by referencing that service in the backendRefs section of your HTTPRoute resource as shown in the following example.
Note
Most guides in this documentation route traffic to a Kubernetes service directly. If you want to route to external resources, such as a static hostname or AWS resource, create a Backend resource.
