 # Ingress admin guide
+
+This is a guide to the different deployment styles of an Ingress controller.
+
+## Vanillla deployments
+
+__GCP__: On GCE/GKE, the Ingress controller runs on the
+master. If you wish to stop this controller and run another instance on your
+nodes instead, you can do so by following this [example](/examples/deployment/gce).
+
+__OSS__: You can deploy an OSS Ingress controller by simply
+running it as a pod in your cluster, as shown in the [examples](/examples/deployment).
+Please note that you must specify the `ingress.class`
+[annotation](/examples/PREREQUISITES.md#ingress-class) if you're running on a
+cloudprovider, or the cloudprovider controller will fight the OSS controller
+for the Ingress.
+
+__AWS__: Until we have an AWS ALB Ingress controller, you can deploy the nginx
+Ingress controller behind an ELB on AWS, as shows in the [next section](#stacked-deployments).
+
+## Stacked deployments
+
+__Behind a LoadBalancer Service__: You can deploy an OSS controller behind a
+Service of `Type=LoadBalancer`, by following this [example](/examples/static-ip/nginx#acquiring-an-ip).
+More specifically, first create a LoadBalancer Service that selects the OSS
+controller pods, then start the OSS controller with the `--publish-service`
+flag.
+
+
+__Behind another Ingress__: Sometimes it is desirable to deploy a stack of
+Ingresses, like the GCE Ingress -> nginx Ingress -> application. You might
+want to do this because the GCE HTTP lb offers some features that the GCE
+network LB does not, like a global static IP or CDN, but doesn't offer all the
+features of nginx, like url rewriting or redirects.
+
+TODO: Write an example
+
+## Daemonset
+
+Neither a single pod or bank of OSS controllers scales with the cluster size.
+If you create a daemonset of OSS Ingress controllers, every new node
+automatically gets an instance of the controller listening on the specified
+ports.
+
+TODO: Write an example
+
+## Intra-cluster Ingress
+
+Since OSS Ingress controllers run in pods, you can deploy them as intra-cluster
+proxies by just not exposing them on a `hostPort` and putting them behind a
+Service of `Type=ClusterIP`.
