Rate Limiting for external services

Open jdomag opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

Hi! First of all, thanks for sharing this repo, I find it very useful!

I think that it would be great to add a scenario when outbound traffic from cluster to external service needs to be rate limited.

Wouldn't simply applying the envoy filters to the egress gatway instead of the ingress gateway solve this problem?

Hi! Thank you for sharing your hard work. This helped us a lot.

I am trying this demo with Istio 1.7.6 and the rate limiting is not working. All of the requests are returning 200. As a beginner, I am having difficulties debugging this issue. Do you have any idea what needs to be updated.

Thanks in advance!

Check #7 for ideas. TL;DR: you need to have a typed config and also the cluster configuration needs some tweaks.

@bivrantoshakil You may read my article regarding limiting access to external services. It also contains some basics of Envoy so maybe you will find some answers there: https://domagalski-j.medium.com/istio-rate-limits-for-egress-traffic-8697df490f68
