EdgeCDN-X Controller - Routing

The controller is the same one as this but running in a router role. In such case the controller is responsible for managing the objects related to Routing.

Responsibilities

In router mode the reconcile loop serves the following tasks:

• Registration management of locations and nodes in consul for healthchecks

CRDs

There are 3 CRDs in the system:

• Location
• Service
• PrefixList

Locations define the infrastructure. Services define the services served across the plaftom, and PrefixLists can alter the routing in the ecosystem. For details click here

Deployment

Deploy the EdgeCDN-X Controller in router mode on clusters with label edgecdnx.com/routing set to true/yes. For this purpose you can use the following Applicationset on the control plane.
