# Ingress Gateway

This topic provides reference information for the `ingress-gateway` configuration entry. 

## Introduction

You can define an `ingress-gateway` configuration entry to connect the Consul service mesh to a set of external services. The specification for ingress gateways include a `listeners` configuration, which exposes the service mesh to the external services. Use camel case (`IngressGateway`) to declare an ingress gateway configuration entry on Kubernetes.

Refer to the [Kubernetes Ingress Gateway](/docs/k8s/connect/ingress-gateways) documentation for information about configuring ingress gateways on Kubernetes.

For other platforms, see [Ingress Gateway](/docs/connect/ingress-gateway).

## Requirements

* Consul versions 1.8.4+ is required to use the `IngressGateway` custom resource on Kubernetes. 
* Consul versions 1.8.0+ is required to use the `ingress-gateway` custom resource on all other platforms.

## Usage

1. Verify that your datacenter meets the conditions specified in the [Requirements](#requirements).
1. Specify the `ingress-gateway` (`IngressGateway`) configuration in the agent configuration file (see [config_entries](/docs/agent/options#config_entries)) as described in [Configuration](#configuration).
1. Apply the configuration using one of the following methods:
   * Kubernetes CRD: Refer to the [Custom Resource Definitions](/docs/k8s/crds) documentation for details.
   * Issue the `consul config write` command: Refer to the [Consul Config Write](/commands/config/write) documentation for details.

## Configuration 

Use the following syntax to configure an ingress gateway.

Refer to the [Available Fields](#available-fields) section for complete information about all ingress gateway configuraiton entry options and to the [Example Configurations](#example-configurations) section for example use-cases. 

### Scope

[Configuration entries](/docs/agent/config-entries) are global in scope. A configuration entry for a gateway name applies across all federated Consul datacenters. If ingress gateways in different Consul datacenters need to route to different sets of services within their datacenter then the ingress gateways **must** be registered with different names. See [Ingress Gateway](/docs/connect/ingress-gateway) for more information.

### Wildcard Service Specification

Ingress gateways can optionally target all services within a Consul namespace by
specifying a wildcard `*` as the service name. A wildcard specifier allows
for a single listener to route traffic to all available services on the
Consul service mesh, differentiating between the services by their host/authority
header.

A wildcard specifier provides the following properties for an ingress
gateway:

- All services with the same
  [protocol](/docs/connect/config-entries/ingress-gateway#protocol) as the
  listener will be routable.
- The ingress gateway will route traffic based on the host/authority header,
  expecting a value matching `<service-name>.ingress.*`, or if using namespaces,
  `<service-name>.ingress.<namespace>.*`. This matches the [Consul DNS
  ingress subdomain](/docs/discovery/dns#ingress-service-lookups).

A wildcard specifier cannot be set on a listener of protocol `tcp`.

### ACLs

Configuration entries may be protected by [ACLs](/docs/security/acl).

Reading an `ingress-gateway` config entry requires `service:read` on the `Name`
field of the config entry.

Creating, updating, or deleting an `ingress-gateway` config entry requires
`operator:write`.

### Example Configurations

The following examples describe possible use-cases for ingress gateway configuration entries.

#### TCP listener

The following example sets up a TCP listener on an ingress gateway named `us-east-ingress` to proxy traffic to the `db` service. The Consul Enterprise version also posits the gateway listener inside the `default` [namespace](/docs/enterprise/namespaces) and the `team-frontend` [admin partition](/docs/enterprise/admin-partitions):

#### Wildcard HTTP Listener

In the following example, two listeners are configured on an ingress gateway named `us-east-ingress`:

* The first listener is configred to listen on port `8080` and uses a wildcard (`*`) to proxy traffic to all services in the datacenter. 
* The second listener exposes the `api` and `web` services on port `4567` at user-provided hosts.
* TLS is enabled on every listener.

The Consul Enterprise version implements the following additional configurations:

* The ingress gateway is set up in the `default` [namespace](/docs/enterprise/namespaces) and proxies traffic to all services in the `frontend` namespace.
* The `api` and `web` services are proxied to team-specific [admin partitions](/docs/enterprise/admin-partitions):

#### HTTP listener with Path-based Routing

The following example sets up an HTTP listener on an ingress gateway named `us-east-ingress` to proxy
traffic to a virtual service named `api`. In the Consul Enterprise version, `us-east-ingress` is set up in the `default` namespace and `default` partition.

In this use-case, internal-only debug headers should be stripped before responding to external clients. 
Requests to internal services should also be labelled to indicate which gateway they came through.

For this use-case, the `api` service is not an actual registered service. It exists as a virtual service for L7 configuration only. A `service-router` (`ServiceRouter` on Kubernetes) is defined for the virtual service that uses path-based routing to route requests to different backend services:
