Installation
Install on Google GKE
This section shows you how to install the HAProxy Enterprise Kubernetes Ingress Controller in Google Kubernetes Engine.
Pre-installation checklist Jump to heading
- A running GKE Kubernetes cluster
- The Google Cloud SDK
- The helm command-line tool
- The kubectl command-line tool
Connect to your GKE cluster Jump to heading
-
Connect to your cluster using the
gcloud
command-line tool:bashgcloud initgcloud container clusters get-credentials [Your cluster name] --zone [Your zone] --project [Your project name]bashgcloud initgcloud container clusters get-credentials [Your cluster name] --zone [Your zone] --project [Your project name] -
Check that you can access the cluster by calling
kubectl get pods
:bashkubectl get podsbashkubectl get podsoutputbashNo resources found in default namespace.outputbashNo resources found in default namespace.
Install Jump to heading
Choose one of the following installation methods:
Install with Helm Jump to heading
-
Add the HAProxy Technologies Helm repository:
bashhelm repo add haproxytech https://haproxytech.github.io/helm-chartsbashhelm repo add haproxytech https://haproxytech.github.io/helm-charts -
Update your list of charts:
bashhelm repo updatebashhelm repo update -
Install the ingress controller, replacing
[KEY]
with your HAProxy Enterprise license key:bashhelm install haproxy-kubernetes-ingress haproxytech/kubernetes-ingress \--create-namespace \--namespace haproxy-controller \--set controller.imageCredentials.registry=kubernetes-registry.haproxy.com \--set controller.imageCredentials.username=[KEY] \--set controller.imageCredentials.password=[KEY] \--set controller.image.repository=kubernetes-registry.haproxy.com/hapee-ingress \--set controller.image.tag=v1.9 \--set controller.service.type=LoadBalancerbashhelm install haproxy-kubernetes-ingress haproxytech/kubernetes-ingress \--create-namespace \--namespace haproxy-controller \--set controller.imageCredentials.registry=kubernetes-registry.haproxy.com \--set controller.imageCredentials.username=[KEY] \--set controller.imageCredentials.password=[KEY] \--set controller.image.repository=kubernetes-registry.haproxy.com/hapee-ingress \--set controller.image.tag=v1.9 \--set controller.service.type=LoadBalancerThis will create a Google Cloud Load Balancer that routes traffic to the ingress controller service. You can map the load balancer’s IP address to your public DNS domain name.
By default, the Helm chart adds
--ingress.class=haproxy
to the ingress controller. That means that it will useIngress
resources only if they specify an annotation ofkubernetes.io/ingress.class: haproxy
. You can disable this by setting--set controller.ingressClass=null
when callinghelm install
.
Install with kubectl Jump to heading
-
Download the deployment YAML file.
-
Edit the haproxy-ingress Service object in the YAML file, setting its
type
field toLoadBalancer

Use the
kubectl apply
command to deploy the controller:bashkubectl apply -f haproxy-ingress.hapee.yamlbashkubectl apply -f haproxy-ingress.hapee.yamlThis will create a Google Cloud Load Balancer that routes traffic to the ingress controller service. You can map the load balancer’s IP address to your public DNS domain name.
Check your installation Jump to heading
Verify that the controller is installed into your Kubernetes cluster by using the command kubectl get pods
:
bash
kubectl get pods --namespace haproxy-controller
bash
kubectl get pods --namespace haproxy-controller
outputbash
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGEhaproxy-kubernetes-ingress-7dd4cc4b-x5fkv 1/1 Running 0 1m
outputbash
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGEhaproxy-kubernetes-ingress-7dd4cc4b-x5fkv 1/1 Running 0 1m
Get the External IP, which you can use to access your cluster:
bash
kubectl get services --namespace haproxy-controller
bash
kubectl get services --namespace haproxy-controller
outputbash
