Proxy for third parties #5971
-
|
Hi! Is there a way to add, manually or not, proxies in front of third parties/external APIs? Example : I'm communicating with the Azure API and i'd like to consider it as a "member" of our architecture as it is crucial to our product. Being able to do this would allow me to:
Would this be a new feature or is this already possible with linkerd and if it is possible how could i do that? Thank you! |

Hey 👋 can you have a look at this repository and let me know if that works for you? It's a POC on how to do egress with linkerd. The TL;DR here is that to reach a 3rd party API service, you can inject a normal nginx proxy (which will do the call for you); the linkerd2 proxy should report metrics and give you mTLS on at least some portion of the traffic. If you configure a ServiceProfile I think you can also have some retries and timeouts baked in. |
