Ambassador

API Gateway for Microservices built on Lyft Envoy

Designed for microservices Built on the Lyft Envoy L7 proxy, Ambassador gives you advanced load balancing features (e.g., global rate limiting), first class HTTP/2 support, and robust TLS support.

Self-service Use simple YAML files to dynamically add/remove/configure services, instead of editing the Envoy configuration by hand.

Integrated monitoring Automatically collect statistics and send the data to your metrics system of choice.

Authentication Authenticate all requests before they are proxied to your back-end services using one of Ambassador's authentication plug-ins.

---
apiVersion: ambassador/v0
kind: Mapping
name: qotm_mapping
prefix: /qotm/
service: qotm

2. Deploy your configuration as a ConfigMap.

kubectl create configmap ambassador-config --from-file mapping-qotm.yaml

3. Deploy Ambassador. Ambassador comes pre-configured with liveness and readiness probes, and is ready to run in a high availability environment from the get go.

kubectl apply -f https://www.getambassador.io/yaml/ambassador/ambassador.yaml

Ambassador is sponsored by Project Blackbird, helping you deploy microservices on Kubernetes in AWS
