Documentation about the three deployment modes of Apache APISIX. |
APISIX has three different deployment modes for different production use cases. The table below summarises the deployment modes:
Deployment mode | Roles | Description |
---|---|---|
traditional | traditional | Data plane and control plane are deployed together. enable_admin attribute should be disabled manually. |
decoupled | data_plane / control_plane | Data plane and control plane are deployed independently. |
standalone | data_plane | Only data_plane is deployed and the configurations are loaded from a local YAML file. |
Each of these deployment modes are explained in detail below.
In the traditional deployment mode, one instance of APISIX will be both the data_plane
and the control_plane
.
An example configuration of the traditional deployment mode is shown below:
apisix:
node_listen:
- port: 9080
deployment:
role: traditional
role_traditional:
config_provider: etcd
admin:
admin_listen:
port: 9180
etcd:
host:
- http://${etcd_IP}:${etcd_Port}
prefix: /apisix
timeout: 30
#END
The instance of APISIX deployed as the traditional role will:
- Listen on port
9080
to handle user requests, controlled bynode_listen
. - Listen on port
9180
to handle Admin API requests, controlled byadmin_listen
.
In the decoupled deployment mode the data_plane
and control_plane
instances of APISIX are deployed separately, i.e., one instance of APISIX is configured to be a data plane and the other to be a control plane.
The instance of APISIX deployed as the data plane will:
Once the service is started, it will handle the user requests.
The example below shows the configuration of an APISIX instance as data plane in the decoupled mode:
deployment:
role: data_plane
role_data_plane:
config_provider: etcd
#END
The instance of APISIX deployed as the control plane will:
- Listen on port
9180
and handle Admin API requests.
The example below shows the configuration of an APISIX instance as control plane in the decoupled mode:
deployment:
role: control_plane
role_control_plane:
config_provider: etcd
etcd:
host:
- https://${etcd_IP}:${etcd_Port}
prefix: /apisix
timeout: 30
#END
Turning on the APISIX node in Standalone mode will no longer use the default etcd as the configuration center.
This method is more suitable for two types of users:
- Kubernetes(k8s):Declarative API that dynamically updates the routing rules with a full yaml configuration.
- Different configuration centers: There are many implementations of the configuration center, such as Consul, etc., using the full yaml file for intermediate conversion.
The routing rules in the conf/apisix.yaml
file are loaded into memory immediately after the APISIX node service starts. And every time interval (default 1 second), will try to detect whether the file content is updated, if there is an update, reload the rule.
Note: Reloading and updating routing rules are all hot memory updates. There is no replacement of working processes, since it's a hot update.
Since the current Admin API is based on the etcd configuration center solution, enable Admin API is not allowed when the Standalone mode is enabled.
Standalone mode can only be enabled when we set the role of APISIX as data plane. We set deployment.role
to data_plane
and deployment.role_data_plane.config_provider
to yaml
.
Refer to the example below:
deployment:
role: data_plane
role_data_plane:
config_provider: yaml
#END
All of the rules are stored in one file which named conf/apisix.yaml
,
APISIX checks if this file has any change every second.
If the file is changed & it ends with #END
,
APISIX loads the rules from this file and updates its memory.
Here is a mini example:
routes:
-
uri: /hello
upstream:
nodes:
"127.0.0.1:1980": 1
type: roundrobin
#END
WARNING: APISIX will not load the rules into memory from file conf/apisix.yaml
if there is no #END
at the end.
Single Router:
routes:
-
uri: /hello
upstream:
nodes:
"127.0.0.1:1980": 1
type: roundrobin
#END
Multiple Router:
routes:
-
uri: /hello
