x-yc-apigateway-integration:serverless_containers extension

  • Supported parameters
  • Extension specification
  • Use cases

The x-yc-apigateway-integration:serverless_containers extension invokes the relevant container and provides the HTTP request sent to the API gateway to it. In which case the Host header specifies the host used by the user to access the API gateway, not the container's host.

If a request contains the X-Forwarded-For header, it includes the specified IP addresses and the IP address of the user who invoked the container. If this header is missing, the request only provides the IP address of the user who invoked the container.

You can add an extension to a specification using the specification constructor.

Supported parametersSupported parameters

The table below lists the parameters specific to API Gateway API gateways. You can find the description of other parameters in the OpenAPI 3.0 specification.

Parameter Type Description
container_id string Container ID.
service_account_id string Service account ID used for authorization when accessing a container. Invoking a private container requires a service account with the serverless-containers.containerInvoker role or higher for that container. If you omit the parameter, the service_account_id top-level parameter value will be used.
context object This is an optional parameter. It provides the operation context, i.e., an object in YAML or JSON format. It is encoded in Base64 and provided to the container in the X-Yc-ApiGateway-Operation-Context header. The parameters are subsituted into context.

Specification example:

/example/{ID}:
    get:
      summary: Get ID
      operationId: getID
      tags:
        - example
      parameters:
        - name: ID
          in: path
          description: Return ID
          required: true
          schema:
            type: string
      x-yc-apigateway-integration:
        type: serverless_containers
        container_id: b095c95icnvb********
        service_account_id: ajehfe12hhl********

Example of proxying all requests to a container:

paths:
  /{proxy+}:
    x-yc-apigateway-any-method:
      x-yc-apigateway-integration:
        type: serverless_containers
        container_id: bba0hocqr8rl********
        service_account_id: ajegj8fnpmkm********
      parameters:
      - explode: false
        in: path
        name: proxy
        required: false
        schema:
          default: '-'
          type: string
        style: simple
