# Description
Based on the previous example where we configured an external service through a `ServiceEntry` object, this example compares the behavior between setting up the MeshConfig `OutboundTrafficPolicy.mode` setting to `REGISTRY_ONLY` and `ALLOW_ANY`.
- ALLOW_ANY: Allows all egress/outbound traffic from the mesh.
- REGISTRY_ONLY: Restricted to services that figure in the service registry a and the ServiceEntry objects.
More info regarding this configuration at the pertinent documentation (https://istio.io/latest/docs/reference/config/istio.mesh.v1alpha1/#MeshConfig-OutboundTrafficPolicy-Mode)
> **Note:**\
> For more information about the image used refer to [here](https://hub.docker.com/r/oriolfilter/https-nginx-demo)
# Based on
- [01-Service_Entry](../01-Service_Entry)
# Configuration
## Gateway
Deploys an Istio gateway that's listening to the port `80` for `HTTP` traffic.
It doesn't filter for any specific host.
The `selector` field is used to "choose" which Istio Load Balancers will have this gateway assigned to.
The Istio `default` profile creates a Load Balancer in the namespace `istio-system` that has the label `istio: ingressgateway` set, allowing us to target that specific Load Balancer and assign this gateway resource to it.
```shell
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: Gateway
metadata:
name: helloworld-gateway
spec:
selector:
istio: ingressgateway
servers:
- port:
number: 80
name: http
protocol: HTTP
hosts:
- "*"
```

> **Note:**\
> For more information regarding the TLS mode configuration, refer to the following [Istio documentation regarding the TLS mode field](https://istio.io/latest/docs/reference/config/networking/gateway/#ServerTLSSettings-TLSmode).
## VirtualService
This configuration hosts 2 backends, 1 being the deployed service `helloworld.default.svc.cluster.local`, which will be accessible through the URL path `/helloworld`.
The second service will be accessible through the URL path `/external`, and will use as a backend the deployed `ServiceEntry` object, as well it has a timeout setting of 3 seconds.
This destination is the service that contains the `HTTPS` deployment, running over the port `8443`
```yaml
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: VirtualService
metadata:
name: helloworld-vs
spec:
hosts:
- "*"
gateways:
- helloworld-gateway
http:
- match:
- uri:
exact: /helloworld
route:
- destination:
host: helloworld
port:
number: 80
rewrite:
uri: "/"
- timeout: 3s
match:
- uri:
exact: "/external"
route:
- destination:
host: help.websiteos.com
port:
number: 80
rewrite:
uri: "/websiteos/example_of_a_simple_html_page.htm"
headers:
request:
set:
HOST: "help.websiteos.com"
```
## Service
The service will forward incoming HTTP TCP traffic from the port `80`, towards the deployment port `80`.
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: helloworld
labels:
app: helloworld
service: helloworld
spec:
ports:
- port: 80
name: http
selector:
app: helloworld
```
## Deployment
Nginx deployment listens to port 80.
```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: helloworld-nginx
labels:
app: helloworld
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
app: helloworld
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: helloworld
spec:
containers:
- name: helloworld
image: nginx
resources:
requests:
cpu: "100m"
imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent #Always
ports:
- containerPort: 80
```
### ServiceEntry
```yaml
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: ServiceEntry
metadata:
name: external-svc
spec:
hosts:
- help.websiteos.com
ports:
- number: 80
name: http
protocol: HTTP
resolution: DNS
location: MESH_EXTERNAL
```
## ServiceEntry
This `ServiceEntry` resource, defines as a destination the URL `help.websiteos.com`.
Note that location is set to `MESH_EXTERNAL` and that the resolution is set to `DNS`, this means that the resource is external to ou `Istio Service Mesh`, and the URL will be resolved through `DNS`
Bear in mind that when Istio is communicating with resources externals to the mesh, `mTLS` is disabled.
Also, policy enforcement is performed in the client side instead of the server side.
> **Note:**/
> For more information regarding the `resolution` field or the `location` field, refer to the following official Istio documentations:\
> - [ServiceEntry.Location](https://istio.io/latest/docs/reference/config/networking/service-entry/#ServiceEntry-Location)\
> - [ServiceEntry.Resolution](https://istio.io/latest/docs/reference/config/networking/service-entry/#ServiceEntry-Resolution)
```yaml
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: ServiceEntry
metadata:
name: external-svc
spec:
hosts:
- help.websiteos.com
ports:
- number: 80
name: http
protocol: HTTP
resolution: DNS
location: MESH_EXTERNAL
```
# Walkthrough
## Set ALLOW_ANY outbound traffic policy
First step will be to have the cluster with the `meshConfig.outboundTrafficPolicy.mode` setting set to `ALLOW_ANY`.
In case you are not using a "free to destroy" sandbox, you should update the setting through the `IstioOperator` object.
```shell
istioctl install --set profile=default -y --set meshConfig.accessLogFile=/dev/stdout --set meshConfig.outboundTrafficPolicy.mode=ALLOW_ANY
```
## Deploy resources
```shell
kubectl apply -f ./
```
```text
deployment.apps/helloworld-nginx created
gateway.networking.istio.io/helloworld-gateway created
service/helloworld created
serviceentry.networking.istio.io/external-svc created
virtualservice.networking.istio.io/helloworld-vs created
```
## Get LB IP
```shell
kubectl get svc istio-ingressgateway -n istio-system
```
```text
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
istio-ingressgateway LoadBalancer 10.97.47.216 192.168.1.50 15021:31316/TCP,80:32012/TCP,443:32486/TCP 39h
```
## Test deployments
```shell
curl 192.168.1.50/helloworld -I
```

```
## Test egress the helloworld deployment
It returns a 301 code, meaning that it was able to reach the destination, and it was attempted to redirect the traffic from HTTP to HTTPS.
```shell
kubectl exec -i -t "$(kubectl get pod -l app=helloworld | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $1}')" -- curl wikipedia.com -I
```
```text
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
server: envoy
date: Sat, 14 Oct 2023 10:54:34 GMT
content-type: text/html
content-length: 169
location: https://wikipedia.com/
x-envoy-upstream-service-time: 61
```
## Set REGISTRY_ONLY outbound traffic policy
```shell
istioctl install --set profile=default -y --set meshConfig.accessLogFile=/dev/stdout --set meshConfig.outboundTrafficPolicy.mode=REGISTRY_ONLY
```
In case you are not using a "free to destroy" sandbox, you should update the setting through the `IstioOperator` object.
## Test (again) egress the helloworld deployment
It returns a 502 code, meaning that it wasn't able to reach the destination.
```shell
kubectl exec -i -t "$(kubectl get pod -l app=helloworld | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $1}')" -- curl wikipedia.com -I
```
```text
HTTP/1.1 502 Bad Gateway
date: Thu, 20 Apr 2023 18:08:37 GMT
server: envoy
transfer-encoding: chunked
```
This allowed us to confirm how the setting `outboundTrafficPolicy.mode` influences the reachability of the traffic.
## Cleanup
```shell
kubectl delete -f ./
```
```text
deployment.apps "helloworld-nginx" deleted
gateway.networking.istio.io "helloworld-gateway" deleted
service "helloworld" deleted
serviceentry.networking.istio.io "external-svc" deleted
virtualservice.networking.istio.io "helloworld-vs" deleted
```
