Create a contour-install.yaml file using the following sample as a guide. This sample is for installation in an AWS public cloud with LoadBalancer services:
apiVersion: packaging.carvel.dev/v1alpha1
kind: PackageInstall
metadata:
name: contour
namespace: tap-install
spec:
serviceAccountName: contour-tap-install-sa
packageRef:
refName: contour.tanzu.vmware.com
versionSelection:
constraints: 1.18.2+tap.1
prereleases: {}
values:
- secretRef:
name: contour-values
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: contour-values
namespace: tap-install
stringData:
values.yaml: |
envoy:
service:
type: LoadBalancer
infrastructure_provider: aws
The LoadBalancer type is appropriate for most installations, but local clusters such as kind or minikube can fail to complete the package install if LoadBalancer services are not supported.
Contour provides an Ingress implementation by default. If you have another Ingress implementation in your cluster, you must explicitly specify an IngressClass to select a particular implementation.
Cloud Native Runtimes programs Contour HTTPRoutes are based on the installed namespace. The default installation of CNR uses a single Contour to provide internet-visible services. You can install a second Contour instance with service type ClusterIP if you want to expose some services to only the local cluster. The second instance must be installed in a separate namespace. You must set the CNR value ingress.internal.namespace to point to this namespace.
Install the package by running:
kubectl apply -f contour-install.yaml
Verify the package install by running:
tanzu package installed get contour -n tap-install
For example:
$ tanzu package installed get contour -n tap-install
/ Retrieving installation details for contour...
