Create Gateway Service for NCache Management in AKS

Gateway service is used to access, manage, and monitor NCache from outside the network. It mainly defines the port that needs to be made accessible to the public. As we aim to use NCache deployment in the Azure Kubernetes cluster, we provide a load balancer as the gateway service to bring traffic down to a collection of pods and create Client-IP based persistent connections.

Create Gateway Service YAML File

After the cache discovery file has been created and deployed successfully, create a YAML file for the gateway service. Let's call this file gatewayservice.yaml.

Here's a snippet of what your gatewayservice.yaml file should look like,

Note

The parameters required to create this YAML file ready to be deployed are mentioned in the Properties table.

  selector:
    app: ncache     # same label as provided in the ncache YAML file
