## Description
2017-10-06 22:47:46 +00:00
This repository contains the NGINX controller built around the [Kubernetes Ingress resource](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/ingress/) that uses [ConfigMap](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-pod-configmap/#understanding-configmaps-and-pods) to store the NGINX configuration.

### What is an Ingress Controller?
Configuring a webserver or loadbalancer is harder than it should be. Most webserver configuration files are very similar. There are some applications that have weird little quirks that tend to throw a wrench in things, but for the most part you can apply the same logic to them and achieve a desired result.
2017-10-07 21:29:41 +00:00
The Ingress resource embodies this idea, and an Ingress controller is meant to handle all the quirks associated with a specific "class" of Ingress.
2017-10-06 22:47:46 +00:00
An Ingress Controller is a daemon, deployed as a Kubernetes Pod, that watches the apiserver's `/ingresses` endpoint for updates to the [Ingress resource](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/ingress/). Its job is to satisfy requests for Ingresses.
