I have deployed AWS Load Balancer Controller on AWS EKS. I have created k8s Ingress resource I am deploying java web application with k8s Deployment. I want to make sure sticky session holds to make my application work.
I have read that if I set below annotation then sticky sessions will work :
alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/target-type: ip
But I am seeing ingress is routing requests to different replica each time letting login fail as session cookies are not persisting.
What am I missing here ?
alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/target-type: ip is required.
but the annotation to enable stickiness is:
alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/target-group-attributes: stickiness.enabled=true
Also you can set cookie_duration_settings.
alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/target-group-attributes: stickiness.enabled=true,stickiness.lb_cookie.duration_seconds=300
