Question

Kubernetes and CloudFlare

Hi everyone,

I’m searching for a solution to protect an api running with kubernetes on Digital Ocean.

I didn’t found anything about the new Kubernetes hosting (LTD), DDoS protection and DigitalOcean in the same place…

I’m playing around right now, I would like to protect it from DDOS attacks.

Do you have some documentation or tutorial or tips to implement a way to hide/protect an API with the new Kubernetes hosting of DO ? :)

Thx a lot !

What exactly would you want? How is your current setup, or how will it be? I am not very familiar with kubernetes, but I think you would be able to create a Service, and let Nginx or some other proxy listen to it.

Then you can use your public IP and add a DNS record in Cloudflare towards this IP.
