Configure Proxy with Cloud Operator

If your Kubernetes cluster does not have direct internet access and operates in a proxy-restricted environment, you can configure the Cloud Operator to route outbound traffic through an HTTPS proxy.

This is done by setting the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable in the Helm values file. The value is passed into the container at runtime, and all outbound connections made by the Cloud Operator will route through the configured proxy.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the proxy server is accessible from the environment where the Cloud Operator is running. URIs for cloud.illum.io and subdomains *.cloud.illum.io must be allowed.

Steps to configure the proxy environment variable

  1. Open the illumio_values.yaml file.

  2. Add the env section with the httpsProxy variable specifying your proxy URL.

    Example:

    env:
  httpsProxy: "https://example.com:8888"

  3. Deploy or update the Cloud Operator using Helm.
