Retrieving the Complete spec of an APIRule in Version v1beta1 ​

Retrieve the complete spec of an APIRule originally applied in version v1beta1 when the displayed spec does not contain the rules field.

Context ​

APIRule in version v1beta1 is removed, and the API server no longer responds to requests for APIRules in this version.

This creates a migration challenge: If your APIRule was originally created using v1beta1 and you have not yet migrated to v2, the spec is missing the rules field when viewed via the kubectl get command. Kyma dashboard does not display APIRules in version v1beta1.

For example, suppose you have applied the following APIRule in version v1beta1:

yaml
apiVersion: gateway.kyma-project.io/v1beta1
kind: APIRule
metadata:
  name: httpbin
  namespace: test
spec:
  gateway: kyma-gateway.kyma-system
  host: httpbin
  rules:
  - accessStrategies:
    - handler: noop
    methods:
    - POST
    path: /anything
  - accessStrategies:
    - handler: allow
    methods:
    - HEAD
    path: /headers
  - accessStrategies:
    - handler: no_auth
    methods:
    - GET
    path: /.*
  service:
    name: httpbin
    namespace: test
    port: 8000

When retrieving this APIRule, the resulting spec does not include the rules field, as these rules cannot be converted to v2:

bash
kubectl get apirules.gateway.kyma-project.io -n $NAMESPACE $APIRULE_NAME -oyaml
yaml
...
spec:
  gateway: kyma-system/kyma-gateway
  hosts:
    - httpbin
  service:
    name: httpbin
    namespace: test
    port: 8000
...

In this case, you must access the original APIRule v1beta1 configuration through an annotation. To learn how to do this, follow the procedure.

Prerequisites ​

  • You have the Istio and API Gateway modules added.
  • You have a deployed workload exposed by an APIRule in the deprecated v1beta1 version.
  • You must have kubectl and yq.

Procedure ​

  1. To get the full original spec of the APIRule created in version v1beta1, use the annotation that stores the original configuration. Run:

    bash
    kubectl get apirules.gateway.kyma-project.io -n $NAMESPACE $APIRULE_NAME -ojsonpath='{.metadata.annotations.gateway\.kyma-project\.io/v1beta1-spec}'

    See a sample output in the JSON format:

    json
    {"host":"httpbin","service":{"name":"httpbin","namespace":"test","port":8000},"gateway":"kyma-gateway.kyma-system","rules":[{"path":"/anything","methods":["POST"],"accessStrategies":[{"handler":"noop"}]},{"path":"/headers","methods":["HEAD"],"accessStrategies":[{"handler":"allow"}]},{"path":"/.*","methods":["GET"],"accessStrategies":[{"handler":"no_auth"}]}]}

  2. To format the output as YAML for better readability, use the yq command.

    bash
    kubectl get apirules.gateway.kyma-project.io -n $NAMESPACE $APIRULE_NAME -ojsonpath='{.metadata.annotations.gateway\.kyma-project\.io/v1beta1-spec}' | yq -P

    See a sample output in the YAML format:

    yaml
    host: httpbin
service:
  name: httpbin
  namespace: test
  port: 8000
gateway: kyma-gateway.kyma-system
rules:
  - path: /anything
    methods:
      - POST
    accessStrategies:
      - handler: noop
  - path: /headers
    methods:
      - HEAD
    accessStrategies:
      - handler: allow
  - path: /.*
    methods:
      - GET
    accessStrategies:
      - handler: no_auth

Next Steps ​

Next, adjust the obtained configuration of the APIRule to migrate it to version v2. To learn how to do this, follow the relevant tutorial:
