Error {"message":"failure to get a peer from the ring-balancer"} using kong ingress

Question

Getting error msg when I trying to access with public IP:

"{"message":"failure to get a peer from the ring-balancer"}"

Looks like Kong is unable to the upstream services.

I am using voting app

ingress.yaml

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: telehealth-ingress
  namespace: kong
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "kong"
spec:
  rules:
  - http:
      paths:
      - backend:
          serviceName: voting-service
          servicePort: 80

service.yaml

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: voting-service
  labels:
    name: voting-service
    app: voting-app
spec:
  ports:
    - targetPort: 80
      port: 80
  selector:
    name: voting-app-pod
    app: voting-app

deployment.yaml

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: voting-app-pod
  labels:
    name: voting-app-pod
    app: voting-app
spec:
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        name: voting-app-pod
        app: voting-app
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: voting-app
          image: dockersamples/examplevotingapp_vote
          ports:
           - containerPort: 80
  replicas: 2
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: voting-app

There could be one of many things wrong here. But essentially your ingress cannot get to your backend.

If your backend up and running?

Check backend pods are "Running"
```
kubectl get pods
```
Check backend deployment has all replicas up
```
kubectl get deploy
```

Connect to the app pod and run a localhost:80 request

kubectl exec -it <pod-name> sh
# curl http://localhost

Connect to the ingress pod and see if you can reach the service from there

kubectl exec -it <ingress-pod-name> sh
# dig voting-service  (can you DNS resolve it)
# telnet voting-sevice 80
# curl http://voting-service

This issue might shed some insights as to why you can't reach the backend service. What http error code are you seeing?

The problem is resolved after deploying services and deployments in kong namespace instead of default namespace. Now I can access the application with Kong ingress public IP.

Looks like kong ingress is not able to resolve DNS with headless DNS. We need mention FQDN in ingress yaml
