Linkerd version 2 routing

[pisees]

Does linkerd version 2 still support routing with dtab?

Hi @pisees,

Linkerd 2 doesn't have support for dtabs because the architecture is completely different.

Specifically, Linkerd 2 doesn't use finagle and dtabs are a concept defined by finagle.

Thanks @cpretzer
So to confirm linkerd2 does not support routing (for example header based).

Are there any recommendations how to support routing, north/south and east/west?

[cpretzer]

That's right, today Linkerd doesn't support header based routing, but there is an issue tracking that feature request #3165

For north/south traffic, I'd use an ingress controller. For east/west traffic, you could use a proxy (ambassador, nginx, etc.) to route traffic through, like a hub and spoke model.

If yoiu're interested in helping to build header based routing, that would be awesome! 😄
