Rate limiting

You can define a limit on the connections that can be opened by a single client IP address through annotations. This can be used to mitigate DDoS Attacks.

  • ingress.appscode.com/limit-connection: number of concurrent connections allowed from a single IP address.

  • ingress.appscode.com/limit-rps: number of connections that may be accepted from a given IP each second.

  • ingress.appscode.com/limit-rpm: number of connections that may be accepted from a given IP each minute.

These rules will be applied globally to all frontends. Note that, limit-rpm will takes precedence if you specify both limit-rpm and limit-rps.

Ingress Example

apiVersion: voyager.appscode.com/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: test-ingress
  namespace: default
  annotations:
    ingress.appscode.com/limit-connection: "3"
    ingress.appscode.com/limit-rpm: "15"
spec:
  rules:
  - host: voyager.appscode.test
    http:
      paths:
      - path: /foo
        backend:
          service:
          	name: test-server
            port:
              number: 80
