<p>First of all, what I want to build is right below.

<p>as above diagram, I want Ingress to make distribute traffics to service which is at other namespace <code>me</code> in same cluster. (Ingress is in <code>main</code> namespace) But the Ingress doesn't allow to point dns directly, I make ExternalName Service that points to <code>me-service</code> dns <code>me-service.me.svc.cluster.local</code> and then Ingress points to it.</p>
<p>Yaml of it is</p>
<p>main.k8s.yaml</p>

<p>And I checked dns address works but Ingress object doesn't created with error message</p>
<pre><code>me-service:80 (&lt;error: endpoints &quot;me-service&quot; not found&gt;)

<p>How can I make ingress work? If you need more information, please let me know. :pray:</p>

<p><em>I'm posting it as an answer for better visibility. As I already mentioned in my comments:</em></p>
<p>As far as I know you cannot use <strong>GKE ingress</strong> with <code>ExternalName</code> Service type. The two supported types are <code>LoadBalancer</code> and <code>NodePort</code>. If nothing changed recently, you shouldn't be able to create an ingress resource even with a simple <code>ClusterIP</code>, only two above mentioned svc types so I don't believe that <code>ExternalName</code> would work. Well, you can actually use <code>ClusterIP</code> but only if you use <a href="https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/concepts/container-native-load-balancing" rel="nofollow noreferrer">container native load balancing</a> which requires your <strong>GKE</strong> cluster to be VPC-native.</p>
<p>You can still use <strong>GKE</strong> but you don't have to use <strong>GCE ingress</strong> as an ingress controller at the same time. But I would try first if it doesn't work with the mentioned container-native load balancing.</p>
<p>You can always deploy <strong>different ingress controller on your <strong>GKE</strong> cluster e.g. nginx-ingress</strong>. It can use <code>ClusterIP</code> services out of the box, but I'm not sure if it can handle the <code>ExternalName</code> so you would have to try this out.</p>
<p>OP confirmed that with <strong>nginx-ingress</strong> it was possible to distribute traffic to services located in different namespaces:</p>

<p>@mario Thank you for your comment. I successfully distribute traffics
to other namespace svc using NGINX-ingress. – HyeonJunOh Jul 23 at
