GKE Ingres and GCE Load balancer : Always get 404 - kubernetes

Question

I try to deploy 2 applications (behind 2 separates Deployments objects). I have 1 Service per Deployment, with type NodePort.
application1_service.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: application1-service
namespace: default
spec:
ports:
- port: 80
protocol: TCP
targetPort: 80
selector:
run: application1
type: NodePort
application2_service.yaml is the exact same (except for name and run)
I use an Ingress to make the 2 services available,
ingress.yaml
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: my-ingress
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.global-static-ip-name: "my-static-ip"
networking.gke.io/managed-certificates: "my-certificate"
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "gce"
spec:
rules:
- host: "my.host.com"
http:
paths:
- path: /*
backend:
serviceName: application1-service
servicePort: 80
- path: /application2/*
backend:
serviceName: application2-service
servicePort: 80
I also create a ManagedCertificate object, to be able to handle HTTPS requests.
managed_certificate.yaml
apiVersion: networking.gke.io/v1beta1
kind: ManagedCertificate
metadata:
name: my-certificate
spec:
domains:
- my.host.com
The weird thing here is that curl https://my.host.com/ works fine and I can access my service, but when I try curl https://my.host.com/application2/, I keep getting 404 Not Found.
Why is the root working and not the other ?
Additional info:
The ManagedCertificate is valid and works fine with /.
application1 and application2 are the exact same app and if I swap them in the ingress, the output is the same.
Thanks for your help !
EDIT:
Here is the 404 I get when I try to access application2
Don't know if it can help but here is also the part of the Ingress access logs showing the 404

Answer 1

i think you can't use the same port for 2 different applications because this port is used on every node to route to one app.
From docs:
NodePort: Exposes the Service on each Node's IP at a static port (the NodePort). A ClusterIP Service, to which the NodePort Service routes, is automatically created. You'll be able to contact the NodePort Service, from outside the cluster, by requesting :.
So in your case one app is already using port 80, you could try to use a different one for application 2

Answer 2

I have replicated the problem without a domain and managed a
Certificate. For me it's working fine using the Load Balancer IP
address.
(ingress-316204)$ curl http://<LB IP address>/v2/
Hello, world!
Version: 2.0.0
Hostname: web2-XXX
(ingress-316204)$ curl http://<LB IP address>/
Hello, world!
Version: 1.0.0
Hostname: web-XXX
Ingress configuration seems to be correct as per doc. Check if curl https://LB IP address/application2/ is working or not, if it's working then there might be some issue with the host name.
Check if you have updated the host file (/etc/hosts) with line LB IP
address my.host.com.
Check if host, path and backend are configured correctly in Load
Balancer configuration.
If still having the problem then check Port,Nodeport and Targetport configured correctly or else share the output of ‘kubectl describe ing my-ingress’ for further investigation.

Answering my own question:
After searching for days, I ultimately found the reason of the problem.
Everything was fine with the cluster and the configs, my problem was from my Flask API.
All the URLs was like this one:
#app.route("/my_function")
So it was working fine on root path with my.host.com/my_function, but when I was typing my.host.com/application1/my_function it wasn't working...
I just changed my app to
#app.route("/application1/my_function")
Everything works fine now :) Hope it will help !
