Generating Kuadrant RateLimitPolicies

Generate Kuadrant RateLimitPolicy object from OpenAPI 3

The kuadrantctl generate kuadrant ratelimitpolicy command generates an Kuadrant RateLimitPolicy from your OpenAPI Specification (OAS) 3.x powered with kuadrant extensions.

OpenAPI specification

An OpenAPI document resource can be provided to the cli by one of the following channels:

  • Filename in the available path.
  • URL format (supported schemes are HTTP and HTTPS). The CLI will try to download from the given address.
  • Read from stdin standard input stream.

Usage

Generate Kuadrant RateLimitPolicy from OpenAPI 3.0.X

Usage:
  kuadrantctl generate kuadrant ratelimitpolicy [flags]

Flags:
  -h, --help         help for ratelimitpolicy
  --oas string        Path to OpenAPI spec file (in JSON or YAML format), URL, or '-' to read from standard input (required)
  -o Output format:   'yaml' or 'json'. Default: yaml

Global Flags:
  -v, --verbose   verbose output

Under the example folder there are examples of OAS 3 that can be used to generate the resources

User Guide

  • Clone the repo
    git clone https://github.com/Kuadrant/kuadrantctl.git
    cd kuadrantctl
    
  • Setup a cluster, Istio and Gateway API CRDs and Kuadrant

Use our single-cluster quick start script - this will install Kuadrant in a local kind cluster: https://docs.kuadrant.io/getting-started-single-cluster/

  • Build and install CLI in bin/kuadrantctl path

    make install
    

  • Deploy petstore backend API

    kubectl create namespace petstore
    kubectl apply -n petstore -f examples/petstore/petstore.yaml
    

  • Let's create Petstore's OpenAPI spec

Operation Applied config
GET /cat It should return 200 Ok and be rate limited (1 req / 10 seconds)
POST /cat Not added to the HTTPRoute. It should return 404 Not Found
GET /dog It should return 200 Ok and be rate limited (3 req / 10 seconds)
POST /dog It should return 200 Ok and NOT rate limited
  • Create the HTTPRoute using the CLI

    bin/kuadrantctl generate gatewayapi httproute --oas petstore-openapi.yaml | kubectl apply -n petstore -f -
    

  • Create the Rate Limit Policy

    bin/kuadrantctl generate kuadrant ratelimitpolicy --oas petstore-openapi.yaml | kubectl apply -n petstore -f -
    

  • Test OpenAPI endpoints

  • GET /cat -> It should return 200 Ok and be rate limited (1 req / 10 seconds)

curl --resolve example.com:9080:127.0.0.1 -v "http://example.com:9080/cat"
