The articles in this chapter address the Airlock Microgateway sidecar-based data plane mode where a Microgateway Engine sidecar is injected into each application Pod, based on a special label. Within the application Pod, the Microgateway CNI plugin reconfigures the routing so that all traffic from the application pod runs via the engine sidecar.
- North-South traffic:
- Upstream Ingress controller.
- Service A of type LoadBalancer.
- Service A of type NodePort.
- East-West traffic:
- Traffic through Service A.
