cookie-based virtual service routing does not work - cookies

We followed the instructions in the Istio Rules Configuration docs to setup routing rule based on a cookie.
There is the actual istio virtual service configuration:
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1beta1
kind: VirtualService
metadata:
annotations:
meta.helm.sh/release-name: prodstagingistio
meta.helm.sh/release-namespace: istio-system

namespace: istio-system
resourceVersion: "149056406"
uid: a5be0a58-6fd8-467c-9a98-5de9ac71b1dd
spec:
gateways:
- api-gateway
hosts:
- api0-prod.dev.domain.com
- api0-staging.dev.domain.com
http:
- match:
- authority:
exact: api0-prod.dev.domain.com
headers:
cookie:
regex: ^(.*;.)?(feature-b=true)(;.*)?$
route:
- destination:
host: api-gateway.blue.svc.cluster.local
- match:
- authority:
exact: api0-prod.dev.domain.com
route:
- destination:
host: api-gateway.green.svc.cluster.local
- match:
- authority:
exact: api0-staging.dev.domain.com
route:
- destination:
host: api-gateway.orange.svc.cluster.local
Supposedly, when accessing https://api0-prod.dev.domain.com with cookie value (feature-b=true) in http header, the traffic should be redirected to api-gateway.blue.svc.cluster.local. But regardless of the cookie setting, the traffic was sent to api-gateway.green.svc.cluster.local.
But I can't find anything wrong according to the document.
Can anything help taking a look of the config and see why the cookie setting doesn't work?

The virtual service routes should be like below to match cookie. Similarly you need to add for green.
http:
- match:
- headers:
cookie:
regex: ^(.*;.)?(feature-b=true)(;.*)?$
route:
- destination:
host: api-gateway.blue.svc.cluster.local
subset: blue-sub

How do I get Istio route matching to work?

I have an Istio gateway, Istio VirtualService, and app deployed running as a service. The virtual service is deployed like so:
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: VirtualService
metadata:
name: my-app-route
spec:
hosts:
- "*"
gateways:
- my-gateway
http:
- match:
- uri:
prefix: "/my-app"
route:
- destination:
host: my-app-service
port:
number: 8000
When I navigate to http://myurl.com/my-app I would expect to see a JSON response from the service it is pointing to, but I just get a 404. However if I remove the match and redeploy like so:
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: VirtualService
metadata:
name: my-app-route
spec:
hosts:
- "*"
http:
- route:
- destination:
host: my-app-service
port:
number: 800
And then go to http://myurl.com/my-app I can see the expected JSON response. Any help?

How to Knative get client ip on istio

I am using istio in knative. Since the client ip did not come, I activated the reverse-prox. I added envoyfilter. but I get "upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. reset reason: connection termination" error in services on knative.
if it's not knative service I can access it.

istio: VirtualService url rewriting or forwarding

I have an Istio VirtualService with a match and a route and redirect url defined as follows:
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: VirtualService
metadata:
name: my-pro
spec:
hosts:
- "*"
gateways:
- my-gateway
http:
- match:
- uri:
prefix: /events
route:
- destination:
host: event-service
port:
number: 8000
- match:
- uri:
prefix: /blog
redirect:
uri: /
authority: blog.mydomain.com
- route:
- destination:
host: default-service
port:
number: 8000
this VirtualService work as follows:
if the request is www.mydomain.com/events it will forward to event-service.
if the request is www.mydomain.com/blog it will redirect host to blog.mydomain.com.
if the request is www.mydomain.com/anyother it will forward to default-service.
In case no.2 I am redirecting www.mydomain.com/blog to blog.mydomain.com page because my blog page is hosted on that domain.
now my problem is while redirecting the URL, the browser URL is changing to blog.mydomain.com. I want it to remain the same www.mydomain.com/blog but the content of blog.mydomain.com should be display on the screen.
I think you should use rewrite with a destination : https://istio.io/latest/docs/reference/config/networking/virtual-service/#HTTPRewrite
If the destination is external to the Service Mesh, you'll also need a ServiceEntry
- match:
- uri:
prefix: /blog
name: blog.mydomain.com
rewrite:
authority: blog.mydomain.com
uri: /blog
route:
- destination:
host: blog.mydomain.com
Add the above rule in the virtual service, then create this service entry.
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: ServiceEntry
metadata:
name: blog
spec:
hosts:
- blog.mydomain.com
location: MESH_EXTERNAL
ports:
- number: 80
name: http
protocol: HTTP
resolution: DNS

Istio queryParams always returning truthy

Set up istio and the basic bookinfo app
set up the virtual service as such:
one with headers:
kind: VirtualService
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
metadata:
name: bookinfo
spec:
hosts:
- '*'
gateways:
- bookinfo-gateway
http:
- match:
- headers:
apiKey:
exact: test
rewrite:
uri: /productpage
route:
- destination:
host: productpage
port:
number: 9080
tcp: ~
tls: ~
and another with queryParams as the routing differentiator:
kind: VirtualService
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
metadata:
name: bookinfo
spec:
hosts:
- '*'
gateways:
- bookinfo-gateway
http:
- match:
- headers:
apiKey:
exact: test
rewrite:
uri: /productpage
route:
- destination:
host: productpage
port:
number: 9080
tcp: ~
tls: ~
For some reason, the header policy seems to work fine. i.e if I dont submit the header=test, istio will return 404.
HOWEVER, for the queryParams, it is always returning thruthy. am I doing something wrong? or is this an istio related issue at its core.
(note: these 2 vs are not running in parallel, but rather an update from one to another, so it cant be some wonkyness with having 2 similar VS)
Ideally i would expect for the queryParam vs headers to act the same.
This was in fact a quasi-defect.
The docs for istio-1.2 was incorrectly stating feature that was found in 1.3.
For those of you in a similar situation, upgrading to istio 1.3.x should resolve it.

Can one Virtual service fan out the request to multiple services

You will have request for (say /test ) , and that request has to be redirected to multiple services
kind of multitasking behavior
I tried below things , but it didn't work
- route:
- destination:
host: details
subset: v1
- destination:
host: preview
subset: v1
I have code for matching the test prefix and added only that part where actual redirection is happening.
In simpler way . I want to know , how to achieve fan out in istio
You haven't shared a full VirtualService manifest, however in the similar scenario I used the following configuration in order to distinguish HTTP requests to the same prefix path by applying specific custom headers:
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: VirtualService
metadata:
name: reviews
spec:
hosts:
- example
gateways:
- example-gateway
http:
- match:
- headers:
test:
exact: details
- uri:
prefix: /test
route:
- destination:
host: details
subset: v1
- match:
- headers:
test:
exact: preview
- uri:
prefix: /test
route:
- destination:
host: preview
subset: v1
Of course don't forget to accomplish appropriate DestinationRule's
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: DestinationRule
metadata:
name: details
spec:
host: details
subsets:
- name: v1
labels:
version: v1
---
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: DestinationRule
metadata:
name: preview
spec:
host: preview
subsets:
- name: v1
labels:
version: v1
