 # Multiple Ingress controllers
 
-If you're running multiple ingress controllers, or running on a cloud provider that natively handles ingress such as GKE,
-you need to specify the annotation `kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "nginx"` in all ingresses that you would like the ingress-nginx controller to claim.
+By default, deploying multiple Ingress controllers (e.g., `ingress-nginx` & `gce`) will result in all controllers simultaneously racing to update Ingress status fields in confusing ways.
+
+To fix this problem, you can either use [IngressClasses](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/ingress/#ingress-class) (preferred) or use the `kubernetes.io/ingress.class` annotation (in deprecation).
+
+## Using IngressClasses
+
+If all ingress controllers respect IngressClasses (e.g. multiple instances of ingress-nginx v1.0), you can deploy two Ingress controllers by granting them control over two different IngressClasses, then selecting one of the two IngressClasses with `ingressClassName`.
+
+First, ensure the `--controller-class=` is set to something different on each ingress controller:
+
+```yaml
+# ingress-nginx Deployment/Statfulset
+spec:
+  template:
+     spec:
+       containers:
+         - name: nginx-ingress-internal-controller
+           args:
+             - /nginx-ingress-controller
+             - '--controller-class=k8s.io/internal-ingress-nginx'
+            ...
+```
+
+Then use the same value in the IngressClass:
+
+```yaml
+# ingress-nginx IngressClass
+apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
+kind: IngressClass
+metadata:
+  name: internal-nginx
+spec:
+  controller: k8s.io/internal-ingress-nginx
+  ...
+```
+
+And refer to that IngressClass in your Ingress:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
+kind: Ingress
+metadata:
+  name: my-ingress
+spec:
+  ingressClassName: internal-nginx
+  ...
+```
+
+or if installing with Helm:
+
+```yaml
+controller:
+  ingressClassResource:
+    name: internal-nginx  # default: nginx
+    enabled: true
+    default: false
+    controllerValue: "k8s.io/internal-ingress-nginx"  # default: k8s.io/ingress-nginx
+```
+
+!!! important
+
+    When running multiple ingress-nginx controllers, it will only process an unset class annotation if one of the controllers uses the default
+    `--controller-class` value (see `IsValid` method in `internal/ingress/annotations/class/main.go`), otherwise the class annotation becomes required.
+
+    If `--controller-class` is set to the default value of `k8s.io/ingress-nginx`, the controller will monitor Ingresses with no class annotation *and* Ingresses with annotation class set to `nginx`. Use a non-default value for `--controller-class`, to ensure that the controller only satisfied the specific class of Ingresses.
+
+## Using the kubernetes.io/ingress.class annotation (in deprecation)
+
+If you're running multiple ingress controllers where one or more do not support IngressClasses, you must specify the annotation `kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "nginx"` in all ingresses that you would like ingress-nginx to claim.
