Apache Ignite C# Client Connection configuration for kubernetes

Question

We are following the below article to establish C# client connection to the Ignite Cluster, both of them deployed in the Kubernetes.

https://ignite.apache.org/docs/latest/installation/kubernetes/amazon-eks-deployment#creating-service

We do not find the equivalent C# class/method to perform the connection configuration in the C# client application.

enter image description here

Please help us to find alternate methods to do the connection configuration for Kubernetes.

This API is not yet available for .NET, the relevant ticket is in progress and most likely will be included into the next release.

For now, you can list a set of server IPs for your thin clients explicitly. And for your server and thick client nodes it's fine to rely on spring.xml configuration. More details here.

Example:

 var cfg = new IgniteConfiguration
 {
    ...
    SpringConfigUrl = "/path/to/spring.xml"
  };

And your spring configuration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">

    <bean class="org.apache.ignite.configuration.IgniteConfiguration">

        <!-- Explicitly configure TCP discovery SPI to provide list of initial nodes. -->
        <property name="discoverySpi">
            <bean class="org.apache.ignite.spi.discovery.tcp.TcpDiscoverySpi">
                <property name="ipFinder">
                    <!--
                        Enables Kubernetes IP finder and setting custom namespace and service names.
                    -->
                    <bean class="org.apache.ignite.spi.discovery.tcp.ipfinder.kubernetes.TcpDiscoveryKubernetesIpFinder">
                        <property name="namespace" value="ignite"/>
                    </bean>
                </property>
            </bean>
        </property>
    </bean>
</beans>
