\u00b6 The objective of this document is to explain how the NGINX Ingress controller works, in particular how the NGINX model is built and why we need one. NGINX configuration \u00b6 The goal of this Ingress controller is the assembly of a configuration file (nginx.conf). The main implication of this requirement is the need to reload NGINX after any change in the configuration file. Though it is important to note that we don't reload Nginx on changes that impact only an upstream configuration (i.e Endpoints change when you deploy your app) . We use lua-nginx-module to achieve this. Check below to learn more about how it's done. NGINX model \u00b6 Usually, a Kubernetes Controller utilizes the synchronization loop pattern to check if the desired state in the controller is updated or a change is required. To this purpose, we need to build a model using different objects from the cluster, in particular (in no special order) Ingresses, Services, Endpoints, Secrets, and Configmaps to generate a point in time configuration file that reflects the state of the cluster. To get this object from the cluster, we use Kubernetes Informers , in particular, FilteredSharedInformer . This informers allows reacting to changes in using callbacks to individual changes when a new object is added, modified or removed. Unfortunately, there is no way to know if a particular change is going to affect the final configuration file. Therefore on every change, we have to rebuild a new model from scratch based on the state of cluster and compare it to the current model. If the new model equals to the current one, then we avoid generating a new NGINX configuration and triggering a reload. Otherwise, we check if the difference is only about Endpoints. If so we then send the new list of Endpoints to a Lua handler running inside Nginx using HTTP POST request and again avoid generating a new NGINX configuration and triggering a reload. If the difference between running and new model is about more than just Endpoints we create a new NGINX configuration based on the new model, replace the current model and trigger a reload. One of the uses of the model is to avoid unnecessary reloads when there's no change in the state and to detect conflicts in definitions. The final representation of the NGINX configuration is generated from a Go template using the new model as input for the variables required by the template. Building the NGINX model \u00b6 Building a model is an expensive operation, for this reason, the use of the synchronization loop is a must. By using a work queue it is possible to not lose changes and remove the use of sync.Mutex to force a single execution of the sync loop and additionally it is possible to create a time window between the start and end of the sync loop that allows us to discard unnecessary updates. It is important to understand that any change in the cluster could generate events that the informer will send to the controller and one of the reasons for the work queue . Operations to build the model: Order Ingress rules by CreationTimestamp field, i.e., old rules first. If the same path for the same host is defined in more than one Ingress, the oldest rule wins. If more than one Ingress contains a TLS section for the same host, the oldest rule wins. If multiple Ingresses define an annotation that affects the configuration of the Server block, the oldest rule wins. Create a list of NGINX Servers (per hostname) Create a list of NGINX Upstreams If multiple Ingresses define different paths for the same host, the ingress controller will merge the definitions. Annotations are applied to all the paths in the Ingress. Multiple Ingresses can define different annotations. These definitions are not shared between Ingresses. When a reload is required \u00b6 The next list describes the scenarios when a reload is required: New Ingress Resource Created. TLS section is added to existing Ingress. Change in Ingress annotations that impacts more than just upstream configuration. For instance load-balance annotation does not require a reload. A path is added/removed from an Ingress. An Ingress, Service, Secret is removed. Some missing referenced object from the Ingress is available, like a Service or Secret. A Secret is updated. Avoiding reloads \u00b6 In some cases, it is possible to avoid reloads, in particular when there is a change in the endpoints, i.e., a pod is started or replaced. It is out of the scope of this Ingress controller to remove reloads completely. This would require an incredible amount of work and at some point makes no sense. This can change only if NGINX changes the way new configurations are read, basically, new changes do not replace worker processes. Avoiding reloads on Endpoints changes \u00b6 On every endpoint change the controller fetches endpoints from all the services it sees and generates corresponding Backend objects. It then sends these objects to a Lua handler running inside Nginx. The Lua code in turn stores those backends in a shared memory zone. Then for every request Lua code running in balancer_by_lua context detects what endpoints it should choose upstream peer from and applies the configured load balancing algorithm to choose the peer. Then Nginx takes care of the rest. This way we avoid reloading Nginx on endpoint changes. Note that this includes annotation changes that affects only upstream configuration in Nginx as well. In a relatively big clusters with frequently deploying apps this feature saves significant number of Nginx reloads which can otherwise affect response latency, load balancing quality (after every reload Nginx resets the state of load balancing) and so on. Avoiding outage from wrong configuration \u00b6 Because the ingress controller works using the synchronization loop pattern , it is applying the configuration for all matching objects. In case some Ingress objects have a broken configuration, for example a syntax error in the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippet annotation, the generated configuration becomes invalid, does not reload and hence no more ingresses will be taken into account. To prevent this situation to happen, the nginx ingress controller optionally exposes a validating admission webhook server to ensure the validity of incoming ingress objects. This webhook appends the incoming ingress objects to the list of ingresses, generates the configuration and calls nginx to ensure the configuration has no syntax errors.","title":"How it works"},{"location":"how-it-works/#how-it-works","text":"The objective of this document is to explain how the NGINX Ingress controller works, in particular how the NGINX model is built and why we need one.","title":"How it works"},{"location":"how-it-works/#nginx-configuration","text":"The goal of this Ingress controller is the assembly of a configuration file (nginx.conf).

Both authentications must work: +-------------+ service +------------+ | | authentication | | + apiserver +<-------------------+ ingress | | | | controller | +-------------+ +------------+ Service authentication The Ingress controller needs information from apiserver. Therefore, authentication is required, which can be achieved in two different ways: Service Account: This is recommended, because nothing has to be configured. The Ingress controller will use information provided by the system to communicate with the API server. See 'Service Account' section for details. Kubeconfig file: In some Kubernetes environments service accounts are not available. In this case a manual configuration is required. The Ingress controller binary can be started with the --kubeconfig flag. The value of the flag is a path to a file specifying how to connect to the API server. Using the --kubeconfig does not requires the flag --apiserver-host . The format of the file is identical to ~/.kube/config which is used by kubectl to connect to the API server. See 'kubeconfig' section for details. Using the flag --apiserver-host : Using this flag --apiserver-host=http://localhost:8080 it is possible to specify an unsecured API server or reach a remote kubernetes cluster using kubectl proxy . Please do not use this approach in production. In the diagram below you can see the full authentication flow with all options, starting with the browser on the lower left hand side.

Find the secret name with kubectl get secrets | grep service-account and delete it with kubectl delete secret <name> . It will automatically be recreated. You have a non-standard Kubernetes installation and the file containing the token may not be present. The API server will mount a volume containing this file, but only if the API server is configured to use the ServiceAccount admission controller. If you experience this error, verify that your API server is using the ServiceAccount admission controller. If you are configuring the API server by hand, you can set this with the --admission-control parameter. Note that you should use other admission controllers as well. Before configuring this option, you should read about admission controllers. More information: User Guide: Service Accounts Cluster Administrator Guide: Managing Service Accounts Kube-Config \u00b6 If you want to use a kubeconfig file for authentication, follow the deploy procedure and add the flag --kubeconfig=/etc/kubernetes/kubeconfig.yaml to the args section of the deployment.

Bare-metal environments lack this commodity, requiring a slightly different setup to offer the same kind of access to external consumers. The rest of this document describes a few recommended approaches to deploying the NGINX Ingress controller inside a Kubernetes cluster running on bare-metal. A pure software solution: MetalLB \u00b6 MetalLB provides a network load-balancer implementation for Kubernetes clusters that do not run on a supported cloud provider, effectively allowing the usage of LoadBalancer Services within any cluster. This section demonstrates how to use the Layer 2 configuration mode of MetalLB together with the NGINX Ingress controller in a Kubernetes cluster that has publicly accessible nodes . In this mode, one node attracts all the traffic for the ingress-nginx Service IP. See Traffic policies for more details. Note The description of other supported configuration modes is off-scope for this document. Warning MetalLB is currently in beta . Read about the Project maturity and make sure you inform yourself by reading the official documentation thoroughly. MetalLB can be deployed either with a simple Kubernetes manifest or with Helm. The rest of this example assumes MetalLB was deployed following the Installation instructions. MetalLB requires a pool of IP addresses in order to be able to take ownership of the ingress-nginx Service. This pool can be defined in a ConfigMap named config located in the same namespace as the MetalLB controller. This pool of IPs must be dedicated to MetalLB's use, you can't reuse the Kubernetes node IPs or IPs handed out by a DHCP server. Example Given the following 3-node Kubernetes cluster (the external IP is added as an example, in most bare-metal environments this value is <None>) $ kubectl get node NAME STATUS ROLES EXTERNAL-IP host-1 Ready master 203.0.113.1 host-2 Ready node 203.0.113.2 host-3 Ready node 203.0.113.3 After creating the following ConfigMap, MetalLB takes ownership of one of the IP addresses in the pool and updates the loadBalancer IP field of the ingress-nginx Service accordingly. apiVersion : v1 kind : ConfigMap metadata : namespace : metallb-system name : config data : config : | address-pools: - name: default protocol: layer2 addresses: - 203.0.113.10-203.0.113.15 $ kubectl -n ingress-nginx get svc NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) default-http-backend ClusterIP 10.0.64.249 <none> 80/TCP ingress-nginx LoadBalancer 10.0.220.217 203.0.113.10 80:30100/TCP,443:30101/TCP As soon as MetalLB sets the external IP address of the ingress-nginx LoadBalancer Service, the corresponding entries are created in the iptables NAT table and the node with the selected IP address starts responding to HTTP requests on the ports configured in the LoadBalancer Service: $ curl -D- http://203.0.113.3 -H 'Host: myapp.example.com' HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx/1.15.2 Tip In order to preserve the source IP address in HTTP requests sent to NGINX, it is necessary to use the Local traffic policy. Traffic policies are described in more details in Traffic policies as well as in the next section. Over a NodePort Service \u00b6 Due to its simplicity, this is the setup a user will deploy by default when following the steps described in the installation guide . Info A Service of type NodePort exposes, via the kube-proxy component, the same unprivileged port (default: 30000-32767) on every Kubernetes node, masters included. For more information, see Services . In this configuration, the NGINX container remains isolated from the host network. As a result, it can safely bind to any port, including the standard HTTP ports 80 and 443. However, due to the container namespace isolation, a client located outside the cluster network (e.g. on the public internet) is not able to access Ingress hosts directly on ports 80 and 443. Instead, the external client must append the NodePort allocated to the ingress-nginx Service to HTTP requests. Example Given the NodePort 30100 allocated to the ingress-nginx Service $ kubectl -n ingress-nginx get svc NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP PORT(S) default-http-backend ClusterIP 10.0.64.249 80/TCP ingress-nginx NodePort 10.0.220.217 80:30100/TCP,443:30101/TCP and a Kubernetes node with the public IP address 203.0.113.2 (the external IP is added as an example, in most bare-metal environments this value is <None>) $ kubectl get node NAME STATUS ROLES EXTERNAL-IP host-1 Ready master 203.0.113.1 host-2 Ready node 203.0.113.2 host-3 Ready node 203.0.113.3 a client would reach an Ingress with host: myapp.example.com at http://myapp.example.com:30100 , where the myapp.example.com subdomain resolves to the 203.0.113.2 IP address. Impact on the host system While it may sound tempting to reconfigure the NodePort range using the --service-node-port-range API server flag to include unprivileged ports and be able to expose ports 80 and 443, doing so may result in unexpected issues including (but not limited to) the use of ports otherwise reserved to system daemons and the necessity to grant kube-proxy privileges it may otherwise not require. This practice is therefore discouraged . See the other approaches proposed in this page for alternatives. This approach has a few other limitations one ought to be aware of: Source IP address Services of type NodePort perform source address translation by default. This means the source IP of a HTTP request is always the IP address of the Kubernetes node that received the request from the perspective of NGINX. The recommended way to preserve the source IP in a NodePort setup is to set the value of the externalTrafficPolicy field of the ingress-nginx Service spec to Local ( example ). Warning This setting effectively drops packets sent to Kubernetes nodes which are not running any instance of the NGINX Ingress controller. Consider assigning NGINX Pods to specific nodes in order to control on what nodes the NGINX Ingress controller should be scheduled or not scheduled. Example In a Kubernetes cluster composed of 3 nodes (the external IP is added as an example, in most bare-metal environments this value is <None>) $ kubectl get node NAME STATUS ROLES EXTERNAL-IP host-1 Ready master 203.0.113.1 host-2 Ready node 203.0.113.2 host-3 Ready node 203.0.113.3 with a ingress-nginx-controller Deployment composed of 2 replicas $ kubectl -n ingress-nginx get pod -o wide NAME READY STATUS IP NODE default-http-backend-7c5bc89cc9-p86md 1/1 Running 172.17.1.1 host-2 ingress-nginx-controller-cf9ff8c96-8vvf8 1/1 Running 172.17.0.3 host-3 ingress-nginx-controller-cf9ff8c96-pxsds 1/1 Running 172.17.1.4 host-2 Requests sent to host-2 and host-3 would be forwarded to NGINX and original client's IP would be preserved, while requests to host-1 would get dropped because there is no NGINX replica running on that node. Ingress status Because NodePort Services do not get a LoadBalancerIP assigned by definition, the NGINX Ingress controller does not update the status of Ingress objects it manages . $ kubectl get ingress NAME HOSTS ADDRESS PORTS test-ingress myapp.example.com 80 Despite the fact there is no load balancer providing a public IP address to the NGINX Ingress controller, it is possible to force the status update of all managed Ingress objects by setting the externalIPs field of the ingress-nginx Service. Warning There is more to setting externalIPs than just enabling the NGINX Ingress controller to update the status of Ingress objects. Please read about this option in the Services page of official Kubernetes documentation as well as the section about External IPs in this document for more information. Example Given the following 3-node Kubernetes cluster (the external IP is added as an example, in most bare-metal environments this value is <None>) $ kubectl get node NAME STATUS ROLES EXTERNAL-IP host-1 Ready master 203.0.113.1 host-2 Ready node 203.0.113.2 host-3 Ready node 203.0.113.3 one could edit the ingress-nginx Service and add the following field to the object spec spec : externalIPs : - 203.0.113.1 - 203.0.113.2 - 203.0.113.3 which would in turn be reflected on Ingress objects as follows: $ kubectl get ingress -o wide NAME HOSTS ADDRESS PORTS test-ingress myapp.example.com 203.0.113.1,203.0.113.2,203.0.113.3 80 Redirects As NGINX is not aware of the port translation operated by the NodePort Service , backend applications are responsible for generating redirect URLs that take into account the URL used by external clients, including the NodePort. Example Redirects generated by NGINX, for instance HTTP to HTTPS or domain to www.domain , are generated without NodePort: $ curl -D- http://myapp.example.com:30100 ` HTTP/1.1 308 Permanent Redirect Server: nginx/1.15.2 Location: https://myapp.example.com/ #-> missing NodePort in HTTPS redirect Via the host network \u00b6 In a setup where there is no external load balancer available but using NodePorts is not an option, one can configure ingress-nginx Pods to use the network of the host they run on instead of a dedicated network namespace. The benefit of this approach is that the NGINX Ingress controller can bind ports 80 and 443 directly to Kubernetes nodes' network interfaces, without the extra network translation imposed by NodePort Services. Note This approach does not leverage any Service object to expose the NGINX Ingress controller. If the ingress-nginx Service exists in the target cluster, it is recommended to delete it . This can be achieved by enabling the hostNetwork option in the Pods' spec. template : spec : hostNetwork : true Security considerations Enabling this option exposes every system daemon to the NGINX Ingress controller on any network interface, including the host's loopback. Please evaluate the impact this may have on the security of your system carefully. Example Consider this ingress-nginx-controller Deployment composed of 2 replicas, NGINX Pods inherit from the IP address of their host instead of an internal Pod IP. $ kubectl -n ingress-nginx get pod -o wide NAME READY STATUS IP NODE default-http-backend-7c5bc89cc9-p86md 1/1 Running 172.17.1.1 host-2 ingress-nginx-controller-5b4cf5fc6-7lg6c 1/1 Running 203.0.113.3 host-3 ingress-nginx-controller-5b4cf5fc6-lzrls 1/1 Running 203.0.113.2 host-2 One major limitation of this deployment approach is that only a single NGINX Ingress controller Pod may be scheduled on each cluster node, because binding the same port multiple times on the same network interface is technically impossible. Pods that are unschedulable due to such situation fail with the following event: $ kubectl -n ingress-nginx describe pod <unschedulable-ingress-nginx-controller-pod> ... Events: Type Reason From Message ---- ------ ---- ------- Warning FailedScheduling default-scheduler 0/3 nodes are available: 3 node(s) didn't have free ports for the requested pod ports. One way to ensure only schedulable Pods are created is to deploy the NGINX Ingress controller as a DaemonSet instead of a traditional Deployment. Info A DaemonSet schedules exactly one type of Pod per cluster node, masters included, unless a node is configured to repel those Pods . For more information, see DaemonSet . Because most properties of DaemonSet objects are identical to Deployment objects, this documentation page leaves the configuration of the corresponding manifest at the user's discretion. Like with NodePorts, this approach has a few quirks it is important to be aware of. DNS resolution Pods configured with hostNetwork: true do not use the internal DNS resolver (i.e. kube-dns or CoreDNS ), unless their dnsPolicy spec field is set to ClusterFirstWithHostNet . Consider using this setting if NGINX is expected to resolve internal names for any reason. Ingress status Because there is no Service exposing the NGINX Ingress controller in a configuration using the host network, the default --publish-service flag used in standard cloud setups does not apply and the status of all Ingress objects remains blank. $ kubectl get ingress NAME HOSTS ADDRESS PORTS test-ingress myapp.example.com 80 Instead, and because bare-metal nodes usually don't have an ExternalIP, one has to enable the --report-node-internal-ip-address flag, which sets the status of all Ingress objects to the internal IP address of all nodes running the NGINX Ingress controller. Example Given a ingress-nginx-controller DaemonSet composed of 2 replicas $ kubectl -n ingress-nginx get pod -o wide NAME READY STATUS IP NODE default-http-backend-7c5bc89cc9-p86md 1/1 Running 172.17.1.1 host-2 ingress-nginx-controller-5b4cf5fc6-7lg6c 1/1 Running 203.0.113.3 host-3 ingress-nginx-controller-5b4cf5fc6-lzrls 1/1 Running 203.0.113.2 host-2 the controller sets the status of all Ingress objects it manages to the following value: $ kubectl get ingress -o wide NAME HOSTS ADDRESS PORTS test-ingress myapp.example.com 203.0.113.2,203.0.113.3 80 Note Alternatively, it is possible to override the address written to Ingress objects using the --publish-status-address flag. See Command line arguments . Using a self-provisioned edge \u00b6 Similarly to cloud environments, this deployment approach requires an edge network component providing a public entrypoint to the Kubernetes cluster. This edge component can be either hardware (e.g. vendor appliance) or software (e.g. HAproxy ) and is usually managed outside of the Kubernetes landscape by operations teams. Such deployment builds upon the NodePort Service described above in Over a NodePort Service , with one significant difference: external clients do not access cluster nodes directly, only the edge component does. This is particularly suitable for private Kubernetes clusters where none of the nodes has a public IP address. On the edge side, the only prerequisite is to dedicate a public IP address that forwards all HTTP traffic to Kubernetes nodes and/or masters. Incoming traffic on TCP ports 80 and 443 is forwarded to the corresponding HTTP and HTTPS NodePort on the target nodes as shown in the diagram below: External IPs \u00b6 Source IP address This method does not allow preserving the source IP of HTTP requests in any manner, it is therefore not recommended to use it despite its apparent simplicity. The externalIPs Service option was previously mentioned in the NodePort section. As per the Services page of the official Kubernetes documentation, the externalIPs option causes kube-proxy to route traffic sent to arbitrary IP addresses and on the Service ports to the endpoints of that Service. These IP addresses must belong to the target node . Example Given the following 3-node Kubernetes cluster (the external IP is added as an example, in most bare-metal environments this value is <None>) $ kubectl get node NAME STATUS ROLES EXTERNAL-IP host-1 Ready master 203.0.113.1 host-2 Ready node 203.0.113.2 host-3 Ready node 203.0.113.3 and the following ingress-nginx NodePort Service $ kubectl -n ingress-nginx get svc NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP PORT(S) ingress-nginx NodePort 10.0.220.217 80:30100/TCP,443:30101/TCP One could set the following external IPs in the Service spec, and NGINX would become available on both the NodePort and the Service port: spec : externalIPs : - 203.0.113.2 - 203.0.113.3 $ curl -D- http://myapp.example.com:30100 HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx/1.15.2 $ curl -D- http://myapp.example.com HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx/1.15.2 We assume the myapp.example.com subdomain above resolves to both 203.0.113.2 and 203.0.113.3 IP addresses.","title":"Bare-metal considerations"},{"location":"deploy/baremetal/#bare-metal-considerations","text":"In traditional cloud environments, where network load balancers are available on-demand, a single Kubernetes manifest suffices to provide a single point of contact to the NGINX Ingress controller to external clients and, indirectly, to any application running inside the cluster.

Traffic policies are described in more details in Traffic policies as well as in the next section.","title":"A pure software solution: MetalLB"},{"location":"deploy/baremetal/#over-a-nodeport-service","text":"Due to its simplicity, this is the setup a user will deploy by default when following the steps described in the installation guide . Info A Service of type NodePort exposes, via the kube-proxy component, the same unprivileged port (default: 30000-32767) on every Kubernetes node, masters included. For more information, see Services . In this configuration, the NGINX container remains isolated from the host network. As a result, it can safely bind to any port, including the standard HTTP ports 80 and 443. However, due to the container namespace isolation, a client located outside the cluster network (e.g. on the public internet) is not able to access Ingress hosts directly on ports 80 and 443. Instead, the external client must append the NodePort allocated to the ingress-nginx Service to HTTP requests. Example Given the NodePort 30100 allocated to the ingress-nginx Service $ kubectl -n ingress-nginx get svc NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP PORT(S) default-http-backend ClusterIP 10.0.64.249 80/TCP ingress-nginx NodePort 10.0.220.217 80:30100/TCP,443:30101/TCP and a Kubernetes node with the public IP address 203.0.113.2 (the external IP is added as an example, in most bare-metal environments this value is <None>) $ kubectl get node NAME STATUS ROLES EXTERNAL-IP host-1 Ready master 203.0.113.1 host-2 Ready node 203.0.113.2 host-3 Ready node 203.0.113.3 a client would reach an Ingress with host: myapp.example.com at http://myapp.example.com:30100 , where the myapp.example.com subdomain resolves to the 203.0.113.2 IP address. Impact on the host system While it may sound tempting to reconfigure the NodePort range using the --service-node-port-range API server flag to include unprivileged ports and be able to expose ports 80 and 443, doing so may result in unexpected issues including (but not limited to) the use of ports otherwise reserved to system daemons and the necessity to grant kube-proxy privileges it may otherwise not require. This practice is therefore discouraged . See the other approaches proposed in this page for alternatives. This approach has a few other limitations one ought to be aware of: Source IP address Services of type NodePort perform source address translation by default. This means the source IP of a HTTP request is always the IP address of the Kubernetes node that received the request from the perspective of NGINX. The recommended way to preserve the source IP in a NodePort setup is to set the value of the externalTrafficPolicy field of the ingress-nginx Service spec to Local ( example ). Warning This setting effectively drops packets sent to Kubernetes nodes which are not running any instance of the NGINX Ingress controller. Consider assigning NGINX Pods to specific nodes in order to control on what nodes the NGINX Ingress controller should be scheduled or not scheduled. Example In a Kubernetes cluster composed of 3 nodes (the external IP is added as an example, in most bare-metal environments this value is <None>) $ kubectl get node NAME STATUS ROLES EXTERNAL-IP host-1 Ready master 203.0.113.1 host-2 Ready node 203.0.113.2 host-3 Ready node 203.0.113.3 with a ingress-nginx-controller Deployment composed of 2 replicas $ kubectl -n ingress-nginx get pod -o wide NAME READY STATUS IP NODE default-http-backend-7c5bc89cc9-p86md 1/1 Running 172.17.1.1 host-2 ingress-nginx-controller-cf9ff8c96-8vvf8 1/1 Running 172.17.0.3 host-3 ingress-nginx-controller-cf9ff8c96-pxsds 1/1 Running 172.17.1.4 host-2 Requests sent to host-2 and host-3 would be forwarded to NGINX and original client's IP would be preserved, while requests to host-1 would get dropped because there is no NGINX replica running on that node. Ingress status Because NodePort Services do not get a LoadBalancerIP assigned by definition, the NGINX Ingress controller does not update the status of Ingress objects it manages . $ kubectl get ingress NAME HOSTS ADDRESS PORTS test-ingress myapp.example.com 80 Despite the fact there is no load balancer providing a public IP address to the NGINX Ingress controller, it is possible to force the status update of all managed Ingress objects by setting the externalIPs field of the ingress-nginx Service. Warning There is more to setting externalIPs than just enabling the NGINX Ingress controller to update the status of Ingress objects. Please read about this option in the Services page of official Kubernetes documentation as well as the section about External IPs in this document for more information. Example Given the following 3-node Kubernetes cluster (the external IP is added as an example, in most bare-metal environments this value is <None>) $ kubectl get node NAME STATUS ROLES EXTERNAL-IP host-1 Ready master 203.0.113.1 host-2 Ready node 203.0.113.2 host-3 Ready node 203.0.113.3 one could edit the ingress-nginx Service and add the following field to the object spec spec : externalIPs : - 203.0.113.1 - 203.0.113.2 - 203.0.113.3 which would in turn be reflected on Ingress objects as follows: $ kubectl get ingress -o wide NAME HOSTS ADDRESS PORTS test-ingress myapp.example.com 203.0.113.1,203.0.113.2,203.0.113.3 80 Redirects As NGINX is not aware of the port translation operated by the NodePort Service , backend applications are responsible for generating redirect URLs that take into account the URL used by external clients, including the NodePort. Example Redirects generated by NGINX, for instance HTTP to HTTPS or domain to www.domain , are generated without NodePort: $ curl -D- http://myapp.example.com:30100 ` HTTP/1.1 308 Permanent Redirect Server: nginx/1.15.2 Location: https://myapp.example.com/ #-> missing NodePort in HTTPS redirect","title":"Over a NodePort Service"},{"location":"deploy/baremetal/#via-the-host-network","text":"In a setup where there is no external load balancer available but using NodePorts is not an option, one can configure ingress-nginx Pods to use the network of the host they run on instead of a dedicated network namespace. The benefit of this approach is that the NGINX Ingress controller can bind ports 80 and 443 directly to Kubernetes nodes' network interfaces, without the extra network translation imposed by NodePort Services. Note This approach does not leverage any Service object to expose the NGINX Ingress controller. If the ingress-nginx Service exists in the target cluster, it is recommended to delete it . This can be achieved by enabling the hostNetwork option in the Pods' spec. template : spec : hostNetwork : true Security considerations Enabling this option exposes every system daemon to the NGINX Ingress controller on any network interface, including the host's loopback. Please evaluate the impact this may have on the security of your system carefully. Example Consider this ingress-nginx-controller Deployment composed of 2 replicas, NGINX Pods inherit from the IP address of their host instead of an internal Pod IP. $ kubectl -n ingress-nginx get pod -o wide NAME READY STATUS IP NODE default-http-backend-7c5bc89cc9-p86md 1/1 Running 172.17.1.1 host-2 ingress-nginx-controller-5b4cf5fc6-7lg6c 1/1 Running 203.0.113.3 host-3 ingress-nginx-controller-5b4cf5fc6-lzrls 1/1 Running 203.0.113.2 host-2 One major limitation of this deployment approach is that only a single NGINX Ingress controller Pod may be scheduled on each cluster node, because binding the same port multiple times on the same network interface is technically impossible. Pods that are unschedulable due to such situation fail with the following event: $ kubectl -n ingress-nginx describe pod <unschedulable-ingress-nginx-controller-pod> ... Events: Type Reason From Message ---- ------ ---- ------- Warning FailedScheduling default-scheduler 0/3 nodes are available: 3 node(s) didn't have free ports for the requested pod ports. One way to ensure only schedulable Pods are created is to deploy the NGINX Ingress controller as a DaemonSet instead of a traditional Deployment. Info A DaemonSet schedules exactly one type of Pod per cluster node, masters included, unless a node is configured to repel those Pods . For more information, see DaemonSet . Because most properties of DaemonSet objects are identical to Deployment objects, this documentation page leaves the configuration of the corresponding manifest at the user's discretion. Like with NodePorts, this approach has a few quirks it is important to be aware of. DNS resolution Pods configured with hostNetwork: true do not use the internal DNS resolver (i.e. kube-dns or CoreDNS ), unless their dnsPolicy spec field is set to ClusterFirstWithHostNet . Consider using this setting if NGINX is expected to resolve internal names for any reason. Ingress status Because there is no Service exposing the NGINX Ingress controller in a configuration using the host network, the default --publish-service flag used in standard cloud setups does not apply and the status of all Ingress objects remains blank. $ kubectl get ingress NAME HOSTS ADDRESS PORTS test-ingress myapp.example.com 80 Instead, and because bare-metal nodes usually don't have an ExternalIP, one has to enable the --report-node-internal-ip-address flag, which sets the status of all Ingress objects to the internal IP address of all nodes running the NGINX Ingress controller. Example Given a ingress-nginx-controller DaemonSet composed of 2 replicas $ kubectl -n ingress-nginx get pod -o wide NAME READY STATUS IP NODE default-http-backend-7c5bc89cc9-p86md 1/1 Running 172.17.1.1 host-2 ingress-nginx-controller-5b4cf5fc6-7lg6c 1/1 Running 203.0.113.3 host-3 ingress-nginx-controller-5b4cf5fc6-lzrls 1/1 Running 203.0.113.2 host-2 the controller sets the status of all Ingress objects it manages to the following value: $ kubectl get ingress -o wide NAME HOSTS ADDRESS PORTS test-ingress myapp.example.com 203.0.113.2,203.0.113.3 80 Note Alternatively, it is possible to override the address written to Ingress objects using the --publish-status-address flag. See Command line arguments .","title":"Via the host network"},{"location":"deploy/baremetal/#using-a-self-provisioned-edge","text":"Similarly to cloud environments, this deployment approach requires an edge network component providing a public entrypoint to the Kubernetes cluster. This edge component can be either hardware (e.g. vendor appliance) or software (e.g. HAproxy ) and is usually managed outside of the Kubernetes landscape by operations teams. Such deployment builds upon the NodePort Service described above in Over a NodePort Service , with one significant difference: external clients do not access cluster nodes directly, only the edge component does. This is particularly suitable for private Kubernetes clusters where none of the nodes has a public IP address. On the edge side, the only prerequisite is to dedicate a public IP address that forwards all HTTP traffic to Kubernetes nodes and/or masters.

This way ingress-nginx pod will do its best to proxy to zone-local endpoint. Motivation \u00b6 When users run their services across multiple availability zones they usually pay for egress traffic between zones. Providers such as GCP, and Amazon EC2 usually charge extra for this feature. ingress-nginx when picking an endpoint to route request to does not consider whether the endpoint is in a different zone or the same one. That means it's at least equally likely that it will pick an endpoint from another zone and proxy the request to it. In this situation response from the endpoint to the ingress-nginx pod is considered inter-zone traffic and usually costs extra money. At the time of this writing, GCP charges $0.01 per GB of inter-zone egress traffic according to https://cloud.google.com/compute/network-pricing. According to https://datapath.io/resources/blog/what-are-aws-data-transfer-costs-and-how-to-minimize-them/ Amazon also charges the same amount of money as GCP for cross-zone, egress traffic. This can be a lot of money depending on once's traffic. By teaching ingress-nginx about zones we can eliminate or at least decrease this cost. Arguably inter-zone network latency should also be better than cross-zone.

After that, it will post that data as part of endpoints to Lua land. When picking an endpoint, the Lua balancer will try to pick zone-local endpoint first and if there is no zone-local endpoint then it will fall back to current behaviour. Initially, this feature should be optional since it is going to make it harder to reason about the load balancing and not everyone might want that. How does controller know what zone it runs in? We can have the pod spec pass the node name using downward API as an environment variable. Upon startup, the controller can get node details from the API based on the node name. Once the node details are obtained we can extract the zone from the failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone annotation. Then we can pass that value to Lua land through Nginx configuration when loading lua_ingress.lua module in init_by_lua phase. How do we extract zones for endpoints? We can have the controller watch create and update events on nodes in the entire cluster and based on that keep the map of nodes to zones in the memory. And when we generate endpoints list, we can access node name using .subsets.addresses[i].nodeName and based on that fetch zone from the map in memory and store it as a field on the endpoint. This solution assumes failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone annotation does not change until the end of the node's life. Otherwise, we have to watch update events as well on the nodes and that'll add even more overhead. Alternatively, we can get the list of nodes only when there's no node in the memory for the given node name. This is probably a better solution because then we would avoid watching for API changes on node resources. We can eagerly fetch all the nodes and build node name to zone mapping on start. From there on, it will sync during endpoint building in the main event loop if there's no existing entry for the node of an endpoint. This means an extra API call in case cluster has expanded. How do we make sure we do our best to choose zone-local endpoint? This will be done on the Lua side. For every backend, we will initialize two balancer instances: (1) with all endpoints (2) with all endpoints corresponding to the current zone for the backend. Then given the request once we choose what backend needs to serve the request, we will first try to use a zonal balancer for that backend. If a zonal balancer does not exist (i.e. there's no zonal endpoint) then we will use a general balancer. In case of zonal outages, we assume that the readiness probe will fail and the controller will see no endpoints for the backend and therefore we will use a general balancer. We can enable the feature using a configmap setting. Doing it this way makes it easier to rollback in case of a problem.

It should be possible to collect this information before implementation begins in order to avoid requiring implementors to split their attention between writing release notes and implementing the feature itself. A good summary is probably at least a paragraph in length. Motivation \u00b6 This section is for explicitly listing the motivation, goals and non-goals of this KEP. Describe why the change is important and the benefits to users. The motivation section can optionally provide links to experience reports to demonstrate the interest in a KEP within the wider Kubernetes community. Goals \u00b6 List the specific goals of the KEP. How will we know that this has succeeded? Non-Goals \u00b6 What is out of scope for this KEP? Listing non-goals helps to focus discussion and make progress. Proposal \u00b6 This is where we get down to the nitty gritty of what the proposal actually is. User Stories [optional] \u00b6 Detail the things that people will be able to do if this KEP is implemented. Include as much detail as possible so that people can understand the \"how\" of the system.

Go in to as much detail as necessary here. This might be a good place to talk about core concepts and how they releate. Risks and Mitigations \u00b6 What are the risks of this proposal and how do we mitigate. Think broadly. For example, consider both security and how this will impact the larger kubernetes ecosystem. How will security be reviewed and by whom? How will UX be reviewed and by whom? Consider including folks that also work outside project. Design Details \u00b6 Test Plan \u00b6 Note: Section not required until targeted at a release. Consider the following in developing a test plan for this enhancement: Will there be e2e and integration tests, in addition to unit tests? How will it be tested in isolation vs with other components? No need to outline all of the test cases, just the general strategy. Anything that would count as tricky in the implementation and anything particularly challenging to test should be called out.

Prerequisites \u00b6 You have a kubernetes cluster running. You have a domain name such as example.com that is configured to route traffic to the ingress controller. Replace references to fortune-teller.stack.build (the domain name used in this example) to your own domain name (you're also responsible for provisioning an SSL certificate for the ingress). You have the nginx-ingress controller installed in typical fashion (must be at least quay.io/kubernetes-ingress-controller/nginx-ingress-controller:0.30.0 for grpc support. You have a backend application running a gRPC server and listening for TCP traffic. If you prefer, you can use the fortune-teller application provided here as an example. Step 1: kubernetes Deployment \u00b6 $ kubectl create -f app.yaml This is a standard kubernetes deployment object. It is running a grpc service listening on port 50051 . The sample application fortune-teller-app is a grpc server implemented in go. Here's the stripped-down implementation: func main () { grpcServer := grpc . NewServer () fortune . RegisterFortuneTellerServer ( grpcServer , & FortuneTeller {}) lis , _ := net . Listen ( \"tcp\" , \":50051\" ) grpcServer . Serve ( lis ) } The takeaway is that we are not doing any TLS configuration on the server (as we are terminating TLS at the ingress level, grpc traffic will travel unencrypted inside the cluster and arrive \"insecure\"). For your own application you may or may not want to do this. If you prefer to forward encrypted traffic to your POD and terminate TLS at the gRPC server itself, add the ingress annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol: \"GRPCS\" . Step 2: the kubernetes Service \u00b6 $ kubectl create -f svc.yaml Here we have a typical service. Nothing special, just routing traffic to the backend application on port 50051 . Step 3: the kubernetes Ingress \u00b6 $ kubectl create -f ingress.yaml A few things to note: We've tagged the ingress with the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol: \"GRPC\" .

Step 4: test the connection \u00b6 Once we've applied our configuration to kubernetes, it's time to test that we can actually talk to the backend. To do this, we'll use the grpcurl utility: $ grpcurl fortune-teller.stack.build:443 build.stack.fortune.FortuneTeller/Predict { \"message\" : \"Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.\\n\\t\\t-- Mark Twain, \\\"Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar\\\"\" } Debugging Hints \u00b6 Obviously, watch the logs on your app. Watch the logs for the nginx-ingress-controller (increasing verbosity as needed).

Prerequisites \u00b6 You need a TLS cert and a test HTTP service for this example. You will also need to make sure your Ingress targets exactly one Ingress controller by specifying the ingress.class annotation , and that you have an ingress controller running in your cluster. Acquiring an IP \u00b6 Since instances of the nginx controller actually run on nodes in your cluster, by default nginx Ingresses will only get static IPs if your cloudprovider supports static IP assignments to nodes. On GKE/GCE for example, even though nodes get static IPs, the IPs are not retained across upgrade. To acquire a static IP for the nginx ingress controller, simply put it behind a Service of Type=LoadBalancer . First, create a loadbalancer Service and wait for it to acquire an IP $ kubectl create -f static-ip-svc.yaml service \"nginx-ingress-lb\" created $ kubectl get svc nginx-ingress-lb NAME CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE nginx-ingress-lb 10.0.138.113 104.154.109.191 80:31457/TCP,443:32240/TCP 15m then, update the ingress controller so it adopts the static IP of the Service by passing the --publish-service flag (the example yaml used in the next step already has it set to \"nginx-ingress-lb\"). $ kubectl create -f nginx-ingress-controller.yaml deployment \"nginx-ingress-controller\" created Assigning the IP to an Ingress \u00b6 From here on every Ingress created with the ingress.class annotation set to nginx will get the IP allocated in the previous step $ kubectl create -f nginx-ingress.yaml ingress \"nginx-ingress\" created $ kubectl get ing ingress-nginx NAME HOSTS ADDRESS PORTS AGE nginx-ingress * 104.154.109.191 80, 443 13m $ curl 104 .154.109.191 -kL CLIENT VALUES: client_address=10.180.1.25 command=GET real path=/ query=nil request_version=1.1 request_uri=http://104.154.109.191:8080/ ...

For instance, metadata : name : foo annotations : kubernetes.io/ingress.class : \"gce\" will target the GCE controller, forcing the nginx controller to ignore it, while an annotation like metadata : name : foo annotations : kubernetes.io/ingress.class : \"nginx\" will target the nginx controller, forcing the GCE controller to ignore it. To reiterate, setting the annotation to any value which does not match a valid ingress class will force the NGINX Ingress controller to ignore your Ingress. If you are only running a single NGINX ingress controller, this can be achieved by setting the annotation to any value except \"nginx\" or an empty string. Do this if you wish to use one of the other Ingress controllers at the same time as the NGINX controller. Multiple ingress-nginx controllers \u00b6 This mechanism also provides users the ability to run multiple NGINX ingress controllers (e.g. one which serves public traffic, one which serves \"internal\" traffic). To do this, the option --ingress-class must be changed to a value unique for the cluster within the definition of the replication controller.

When running multiple ingress-nginx controllers, it will only process an unset class annotation if one of the controllers uses the default --ingress-class value (see IsValid method in internal/ingress/annotations/class/main.go ), otherwise the class annotation become required.

You can generate a self-signed certificate and private key with: $ openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout ${ KEY_FILE } -out ${ CERT_FILE } -subj \"/CN= ${ HOST } /O= ${ HOST } \" Then create the secret in the cluster via: kubectl create secret tls ${ CERT_NAME } --key ${ KEY_FILE } --cert ${ CERT_FILE } The resulting secret will be of type kubernetes.io/tls . Default SSL Certificate \u00b6 NGINX provides the option to configure a server as a catch-all with server_name for requests that do not match any of the configured server names. This configuration works without out-of-the-box for HTTP traffic. For HTTPS, a certificate is naturally required. For this reason the Ingress controller provides the flag --default-ssl-certificate . The secret referred to by this flag contains the default certificate to be used when accessing the catch-all server. If this flag is not provided NGINX will use a self-signed certificate. For instance, if you have a TLS secret foo-tls in the default namespace, add --default-ssl-certificate=default/foo-tls in the nginx-controller deployment. The default certificate will also be used for ingress tls: sections that do not have a secretName option. SSL Passthrough \u00b6 The --enable-ssl-passthrough flag enables the SSL Passthrough feature, which is disabled by default. This is required to enable passthrough backends in Ingress objects. Warning This feature is implemented by intercepting all traffic on the configured HTTPS port (default: 443) and handing it over to a local TCP proxy. This bypasses NGINX completely and introduces a non-negligible performance penalty. SSL Passthrough leverages SNI and reads the virtual domain from the TLS negotiation, which requires compatible clients. After a connection has been accepted by the TLS listener, it is handled by the controller itself and piped back and forth between the backend and the client. If there is no hostname matching the requested host name, the request is handed over to NGINX on the configured passthrough proxy port (default: 442), which proxies the request to the default backend. Note Unlike HTTP backends, traffic to Passthrough backends is sent to the clusterIP of the backing Service instead of individual Endpoints. HTTP Strict Transport Security \u00b6 HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is an opt-in security enhancement specified through the use of a special response header. Once a supported browser receives this header that browser will prevent any communications from being sent over HTTP to the specified domain and will instead send all communications over HTTPS. HSTS is enabled by default. To disable this behavior use hsts: \"false\" in the configuration ConfigMap . Server-side HTTPS enforcement through redirect \u00b6 By default the controller redirects HTTP clients to the HTTPS port 443 using a 308 Permanent Redirect response if TLS is enabled for that Ingress. This can be disabled globally using ssl-redirect: \"false\" in the NGINX config map , or per-Ingress with the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: \"false\" annotation in the particular resource. Tip When using SSL offloading outside of cluster (e.g. AWS ELB) it may be useful to enforce a redirect to HTTPS even when there is no TLS certificate available. This can be achieved by using the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/force-ssl-redirect: \"true\" annotation in the particular resource. Automated Certificate Management with Kube-Lego \u00b6 Tip Kube-Lego has reached end-of-life and is being replaced by cert-manager . Kube-Lego automatically requests missing or expired certificates from Let's Encrypt by monitoring ingress resources and their referenced secrets. To enable this for an ingress resource you have to add an annotation: kubectl annotate ing ingress-demo kubernetes.io/tls-acme=\"true\" To setup Kube-Lego you can take a look at this full example . The first version to fully support Kube-Lego is Nginx Ingress controller 0.8. Default TLS Version and Ciphers \u00b6 To provide the most secure baseline configuration possible, nginx-ingress defaults to using TLS 1.2 and 1.3 only, with a secure set of TLS ciphers . Legacy TLS \u00b6 The default configuration, though secure, does not support some older browsers and operating systems. For instance, TLS 1.1+ is only enabled by default from Android 5.0 on. At the time of writing, May 2018, approximately 15% of Android devices are not compatible with nginx-ingress's default configuration. To change this default behavior, use a ConfigMap .

number of requests to a different service than the production service. The canary annotation enables the Ingress spec to act as an alternative service for requests to route to depending on the rules applied. The following annotations to configure canary can be enabled after nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/canary: \"true\" is set: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/canary-by-header : The header to use for notifying the Ingress to route the request to the service specified in the Canary Ingress. When the request header is set to always , it will be routed to the canary. When the header is set to never , it will never be routed to the canary. For any other value, the header will be ignored and the request compared against the other canary rules by precedence. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/canary-by-header-value : The header value to match for notifying the Ingress to route the request to the service specified in the Canary Ingress. When the request header is set to this value, it will be routed to the canary. For any other header value, the header will be ignored and the request compared against the other canary rules by precedence. This annotation has to be used together with . The annotation is an extension of the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/canary-by-header to allow customizing the header value instead of using hardcoded values. It doesn't have any effect if the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/canary-by-header annotation is not defined. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/canary-by-header-pattern : This works the same way as canary-by-header-value except it does PCRE Regex matching. Note that when canary-by-header-value is set this annotation will be ignored. When the given Regex causes error during request processing, the request will be considered as not matching. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/canary-by-cookie : The cookie to use for notifying the Ingress to route the request to the service specified in the Canary Ingress. When the cookie value is set to always , it will be routed to the canary. When the cookie is set to never , it will never be routed to the canary. For any other value, the cookie will be ignored and the request compared against the other canary rules by precedence. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/canary-weight : The integer based (0 - 100) percent of random requests that should be routed to the service specified in the canary Ingress. A weight of 0 implies that no requests will be sent to the service in the Canary ingress by this canary rule. A weight of 100 means implies all requests will be sent to the alternative service specified in the Ingress. Canary rules are evaluated in order of precedence. Precedence is as follows: canary-by-header -> canary-by-cookie -> canary-weight Note that when you mark an ingress as canary, then all the other non-canary annotations will be ignored (inherited from the corresponding main ingress) except nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/load-balance and nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/upstream-hash-by . Known Limitations Currently a maximum of one canary ingress can be applied per Ingress rule. Rewrite \u00b6 In some scenarios the exposed URL in the backend service differs from the specified path in the Ingress rule. Without a rewrite any request will return 404. Set the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target to the path expected by the service. If the Application Root is exposed in a different path and needs to be redirected, set the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/app-root to redirect requests for / . Example Please check the rewrite example. Session Affinity \u00b6 The annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/affinity enables and sets the affinity type in all Upstreams of an Ingress. This way, a request will always be directed to the same upstream server. The only affinity type available for NGINX is cookie . The annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/affinity-mode defines the stickyness of a session. Setting this to balanced (default) will redistribute some sessions if a deployment gets scaled up, therefore rebalancing the load on the servers. Setting this to persistent will not rebalance sessions to new servers, therefore providing maximum stickyness. Attention If more than one Ingress is defined for a host and at least one Ingress uses nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/affinity: cookie , then only paths on the Ingress using nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/affinity will use session cookie affinity. All paths defined on other Ingresses for the host will be load balanced through the random selection of a backend server. Example Please check the affinity example. Cookie affinity \u00b6 If you use the cookie affinity type you can also specify the name of the cookie that will be used to route the requests with the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/session-cookie-name . The default is to create a cookie named 'INGRESSCOOKIE'. The NGINX annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/session-cookie-path defines the path that will be set on the cookie. This is optional unless the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/use-regex is set to true; Session cookie paths do not support regex. Use nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/session-cookie-samesite to apply a SameSite attribute to the sticky cookie. Browser accepted values are None , Lax , and Strict . Some browsers reject cookies with SameSite=None , including those created before the SameSite=None specification (e.g. Chrome 5X). Other browsers mistakenly treat SameSite=None cookies as SameSite=Strict (e.g. Safari running on OSX 14). To omit SameSite=None from browsers with these incompatibilities, add the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/session-cookie-conditional-samesite-none: \"true\" . Authentication \u00b6 It is possible to add authentication by adding additional annotations in the Ingress rule. The source of the authentication is a secret that contains usernames and passwords. The annotations are: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-type: [basic|digest] Indicates the HTTP Authentication Type: Basic or Digest Access Authentication . nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-secret: secretName The name of the Secret that contains the usernames and passwords which are granted access to the path s defined in the Ingress rules. This annotation also accepts the alternative form \"namespace/secretName\", in which case the Secret lookup is performed in the referenced namespace instead of the Ingress namespace. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-secret-type: [auth-file|auth-map] The auth-secret can have two forms: auth-file - default, an htpasswd file in the key auth within the secret auth-map - the keys of the secret are the usernames, and the values are the hashed passwords nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-realm: \"realm string\" Example Please check the auth example. Custom NGINX upstream hashing \u00b6 NGINX supports load balancing by client-server mapping based on consistent hashing for a given key. The key can contain text, variables or any combination thereof. This feature allows for request stickiness other than client IP or cookies. The ketama consistent hashing method will be used which ensures only a few keys would be remapped to different servers on upstream group changes. There is a special mode of upstream hashing called subset. In this mode, upstream servers are grouped into subsets, and stickiness works by mapping keys to a subset instead of individual upstream servers. Specific server is chosen uniformly at random from the selected sticky subset. It provides a balance between stickiness and load distribution. To enable consistent hashing for a backend: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/upstream-hash-by : the nginx variable, text value or any combination thereof to use for consistent hashing. For example: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/upstream-hash-by: \"$request_uri\" or nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/upstream-hash-by: \"$request_uri$host\" or nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/upstream-hash-by: \"${request_uri}-text-value\" to consistently hash upstream requests by the current request URI. \"subset\" hashing can be enabled setting nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/upstream-hash-by-subset : \"true\". This maps requests to subset of nodes instead of a single one. upstream-hash-by-subset-size determines the size of each subset (default 3). Please check the chashsubset example. Custom NGINX load balancing \u00b6 This is similar to load-balance in ConfigMap , but configures load balancing algorithm per ingress. Note that nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/upstream-hash-by takes preference over this. If this and nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/upstream-hash-by are not set then we fallback to using globally configured load balancing algorithm. Custom NGINX upstream vhost \u00b6 This configuration setting allows you to control the value for host in the following statement: proxy_set_header Host $host , which forms part of the location block. This is useful if you need to call the upstream server by something other than $host . Client Certificate Authentication \u00b6 It is possible to enable Client Certificate Authentication using additional annotations in Ingress Rule. Client Certificate Authentication is applied per host and it is not possible to specify rules that differ for individual paths. The annotations are: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-tls-secret: secretName : The name of the Secret that contains the full Certificate Authority chain ca.crt that is enabled to authenticate against this Ingress. This annotation also accepts the alternative form \"namespace/secretName\", in which case the Secret lookup is performed in the referenced namespace instead of the Ingress namespace. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-tls-verify-depth : The validation depth between the provided client certificate and the Certification Authority chain. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-tls-verify-client : Enables verification of client certificates. Possible values are: off : Don't request client certificates and don't do client certificate verification. (default) on : Request a client certificate that must be signed by a certificate that is included in the secret key ca.crt of the secret specified by nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-tls-secret: secretName . Failed certificate verification will result in a status code 400 (Bad Request). optional : Do optional client certificate validation against the CAs from auth-tls-secret . The request fails with status code 400 (Bad Request) when a certificate is provided that is not signed by the CA. When no or an otherwise invalid certificate is provided, the request does not fail, but instead the verification result is sent to the upstream service. optional_no_ca : Do optional client certificate validation, but do not fail the request when the client certificate is not signed by the CAs from auth-tls-secret . Certificate verification result is sent to the usptream service. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-tls-error-page : The URL/Page that user should be redirected in case of a Certificate Authentication Error nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-tls-pass-certificate-to-upstream : Indicates if the received certificates should be passed or not to the upstream server in the header ssl-client-cert . Possible values are \"true\" or \"false\" (default). The following headers are sent to the upstream service according to the auth-tls-* annotations: ssl-client-issuer-dn : The issuer information of the client certificate. Example: \"CN=My CA\" ssl-client-subject-dn : The subject information of the client certificate. Example: \"CN=My Client\" ssl-client-verify : The result of the client verification. Possible values: \"SUCCESS\", \"FAILED: \" ssl-client-cert : The full client certificate in PEM format. Will only be sent when nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-tls-pass-certificate-to-upstream is set to \"true\". Example: -----BEGIN%20CERTIFICATE-----%0A...---END%20CERTIFICATE-----%0A Example Please check the client-certs example. Attention TLS with Client Authentication is not possible in Cloudflare and might result in unexpected behavior. Cloudflare only allows Authenticated Origin Pulls and is required to use their own certificate: https://blog.cloudflare.com/protecting-the-origin-with-tls-authenticated-origin-pulls/ Only Authenticated Origin Pulls are allowed and can be configured by following their tutorial: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/204494148-Setting-up-NGINX-to-use-TLS-Authenticated-Origin-Pulls Backend Certificate Authentication \u00b6 It is possible to authenticate to a proxied HTTPS backend with certificate using additional annotations in Ingress Rule. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-ssl-secret: secretName : Specifies a Secret with the certificate tls.crt , key tls.key in PEM format used for authentication to a proxied HTTPS server. It should also contain trusted CA certificates ca.crt in PEM format used to verify the certificate of the proxied HTTPS server. This annotation also accepts the alternative form \"namespace/secretName\", in which case the Secret lookup is performed in the referenced namespace instead of the Ingress namespace. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-ssl-verify : Enables or disables verification of the proxied HTTPS server certificate. (default: off) nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-ssl-verify-depth : Sets the verification depth in the proxied HTTPS server certificates chain. (default: 1) nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-ssl-ciphers : Specifies the enabled ciphers for requests to a proxied HTTPS server. The ciphers are specified in the format understood by the OpenSSL library. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-ssl-name : Allows to set proxy_ssl_name . This allows overriding the server name used to verify the certificate of the proxied HTTPS server. This value is also passed through SNI when a connection is established to the proxied HTTPS server. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-ssl-protocols : Enables the specified protocols for requests to a proxied HTTPS server. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-ssl-server-name : Enables passing of the server name through TLS Server Name Indication extension (SNI, RFC 6066) when establishing a connection with the proxied HTTPS server. Configuration snippet \u00b6 Using this annotation you can add additional configuration to the NGINX location. For example: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippet : | more_set_headers \"Request-Id: $req_id\"; Custom HTTP Errors \u00b6 Like the custom-http-errors value in the ConfigMap, this annotation will set NGINX proxy-intercept-errors , but only for the NGINX location associated with this ingress. If a default backend annotation is specified on the ingress, the errors will be routed to that annotation's default backend service (instead of the global default backend). Different ingresses can specify different sets of error codes. Even if multiple ingress objects share the same hostname, this annotation can be used to intercept different error codes for each ingress (for example, different error codes to be intercepted for different paths on the same hostname, if each path is on a different ingress). If custom-http-errors is also specified globally, the error values specified in this annotation will override the global value for the given ingress' hostname and path. Example usage: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/custom-http-errors: \"404,415\" Default Backend \u00b6 This annotation is of the form nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/default-backend: <svc name> to specify a custom default backend. This <svc name> is a reference to a service inside of the same namespace in which you are applying this annotation. This annotation overrides the global default backend. This service will be handle the response when the service in the Ingress rule does not have active endpoints. It will also handle the error responses if both this annotation and the custom-http-errors annotation is set. Enable CORS \u00b6 To enable Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) in an Ingress rule, add the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/enable-cors: \"true\" . This will add a section in the server location enabling this functionality. CORS can be controlled with the following annotations: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-methods controls which methods are accepted. This is a multi-valued field, separated by ',' and accepts only letters (upper and lower case). Default: GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, PATCH, OPTIONS Example: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-methods: \"PUT, GET, POST, OPTIONS\" nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-headers controls which headers are accepted. This is a multi-valued field, separated by ',' and accepts letters, numbers, _ and -. Default: DNT,X-CustomHeader,Keep-Alive,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type,Authorization Example: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-headers: \"X-Forwarded-For, X-app123-XPTO\" nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-expose-headers controls which headers are exposed to response. This is a multi-valued field, separated by ',' and accepts letters, numbers, _, - and *. Default: empty Example: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-expose-headers: \"*, X-CustomResponseHeader\" nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-origin controls what's the accepted Origin for CORS. This is a single field value, with the following format: http(s)://origin-site.com or http(s)://origin-site.com:port Default: * Example: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-origin: \"https://origin-site.com:4443\" nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-credentials controls if credentials can be passed during CORS operations. Default: true Example: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-credentials: \"false\" nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-max-age controls how long preflight requests can be cached. Default: 1728000 Example: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-max-age: 600 Note For more information please see https://enable-cors.org HTTP2 Push Preload. \u00b6 Enables automatic conversion of preload links specified in the \u201cLink\u201d response header fields into push requests. Example nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/http2-push-preload: \"true\" Server Alias \u00b6 Allows the definition of one or more aliases in the server definition of the NGINX configuration using the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/server-alias: \"<alias 1>,<alias 2>\" . This will create a server with the same configuration, but adding new values to the server_name directive. Note A server-alias name cannot conflict with the hostname of an existing server. If it does, the server-alias annotation will be ignored. If a server-alias is created and later a new server with the same hostname is created, the new server configuration will take place over the alias configuration. For more information please see the server_name documentation . Server snippet \u00b6 Using the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/server-snippet it is possible to add custom configuration in the server configuration block. apiVersion : networking.k8s.io/v1beta1 kind : Ingress metadata : annotations : nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/server-snippet : | set $agentflag 0; if ($http_user_agent ~* \"(Mobile)\" ){ set $agentflag 1; } if ( $agentflag = 1 ) { return 301 https://m.example.com; } Attention This annotation can be used only once per host. Client Body Buffer Size \u00b6 Sets buffer size for reading client request body per location. In case the request body is larger than the buffer, the whole body or only its part is written to a temporary file. By default, buffer size is equal to two memory pages. This is 8K on x86, other 32-bit platforms, and x86-64. It is usually 16K on other 64-bit platforms. This annotation is applied to each location provided in the ingress rule. Note The annotation value must be given in a format understood by Nginx. Example nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/client-body-buffer-size: \"1000\" # 1000 bytes nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/client-body-buffer-size: 1k # 1 kilobyte nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/client-body-buffer-size: 1K # 1 kilobyte nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/client-body-buffer-size: 1m # 1 megabyte nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/client-body-buffer-size: 1M # 1 megabyte For more information please see http://nginx.org External Authentication \u00b6 To use an existing service that provides authentication the Ingress rule can be annotated with nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-url to indicate the URL where the HTTP request should be sent. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-url : \"URL to the authentication service\" Additionally it is possible to set: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-method : <Method> to specify the HTTP method to use. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-signin : <SignIn_URL> to specify the location of the error page. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-response-headers : <Response_Header_1, ..., Response_Header_n> to specify headers to pass to backend once authentication request completes. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-proxy-set-headers : <ConfigMap> the name of a ConfigMap that specifies headers to pass to the authentication service nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-request-redirect : <Request_Redirect_URL> to specify the X-Auth-Request-Redirect header value. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-cache-key : <Cache_Key> this enables caching for auth requests. specify a lookup key for auth responses. e.g. $remote_user$http_authorization . Each server and location has it's own keyspace. Hence a cached response is only valid on a per-server and per-location basis. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-cache-duration : <Cache_duration> to specify a caching time for auth responses based on their response codes, e.g. 200 202 30m . See proxy_cache_valid for details. You may specify multiple, comma-separated values: 200 202 10m, 401 5m . defaults to 200 202 401 5m . nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-snippet : <Auth_Snippet> to specify a custom snippet to use with external authentication, e.g. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-url : http://foo.com/external-auth nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-snippet : | proxy_set_header Foo-Header 42; Note: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-snippet is an optional annotation. However, it may only be used in conjunction with nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-url and will be ignored if nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-url is not set Example Please check the external-auth example. Global External Authentication \u00b6 By default the controller redirects all requests to an existing service that provides authentication if global-auth-url is set in the NGINX ConfigMap. If you want to disable this behavior for that ingress, you can use enable-global-auth: \"false\" in the NGINX ConfigMap. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/enable-global-auth : indicates if GlobalExternalAuth configuration should be applied or not to this Ingress rule. Default values is set to \"true\" . Note For more information please see global-auth-url . Rate limiting \u00b6 These annotations define limits on connections and transmission rates. These can be used to mitigate DDoS Attacks . nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/limit-connections : number of concurrent connections allowed from a single IP address. A 503 error is returned when exceeding this limit. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/limit-rps : number of requests accepted from a given IP each second. The burst limit is set to this limit multiplied by the burst multiplier, the default multiplier is 5. When clients exceed this limit, limit-req-status-code default: 503 is returned. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/limit-rpm : number of requests accepted from a given IP each minute. The burst limit is set to this limit multiplied by the burst multiplier, the default multiplier is 5. When clients exceed this limit, limit-req-status-code default: 503 is returned. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/limit-burst-multiplier : multiplier of the limit rate for burst size. The default burst multiplier is 5, this annotation override the default multiplier. When clients exceed this limit, limit-req-status-code default: 503 is returned. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/limit-rate-after : initial number of kilobytes after which the further transmission of a response to a given connection will be rate limited. This feature must be used with proxy-buffering enabled. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/limit-rate : number of kilobytes per second allowed to send to a given connection. The zero value disables rate limiting. This feature must be used with proxy-buffering enabled. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/limit-whitelist : client IP source ranges to be excluded from rate-limiting. The value is a comma separated list of CIDRs. If you specify multiple annotations in a single Ingress rule, limits are applied in the order limit-connections , limit-rpm , limit-rps . To configure settings globally for all Ingress rules, the limit-rate-after and limit-rate values may be set in the NGINX ConfigMap . The value set in an Ingress annotation will override the global setting. The client IP address will be set based on the use of PROXY protocol or from the X-Forwarded-For header value when use-forwarded-headers is enabled. Permanent Redirect \u00b6 This annotation allows to return a permanent redirect instead of sending data to the upstream. For example nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/permanent-redirect: https://www.google.com would redirect everything to Google. Permanent Redirect Code \u00b6 This annotation allows you to modify the status code used for permanent redirects. For example nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/permanent-redirect-code: '308' would return your permanent-redirect with a 308. Temporal Redirect \u00b6 This annotation allows you to return a temporal redirect (Return Code 302) instead of sending data to the upstream. For example nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/temporal-redirect: https://www.google.com would redirect everything to Google with a Return Code of 302 (Moved Temporarily) SSL Passthrough \u00b6 The annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-passthrough instructs the controller to send TLS connections directly to the backend instead of letting NGINX decrypt the communication. See also TLS/HTTPS in the User guide. Note SSL Passthrough is disabled by default and requires starting the controller with the --enable-ssl-passthrough flag. Attention Because SSL Passthrough works on layer 4 of the OSI model (TCP) and not on the layer 7 (HTTP), using SSL Passthrough invalidates all the other annotations set on an Ingress object. Service Upstream \u00b6 By default the NGINX ingress controller uses a list of all endpoints (Pod IP/port) in the NGINX upstream configuration. The nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/service-upstream annotation disables that behavior and instead uses a single upstream in NGINX, the service's Cluster IP and port. This can be desirable for things like zero-downtime deployments as it reduces the need to reload NGINX configuration when Pods come up and down. See issue #257 . Known Issues \u00b6 If the service-upstream annotation is specified the following things should be taken into consideration: Sticky Sessions will not work as only round-robin load balancing is supported. The proxy_next_upstream directive will not have any effect meaning on error the request will not be dispatched to another upstream. Server-side HTTPS enforcement through redirect \u00b6 By default the controller redirects (308) to HTTPS if TLS is enabled for that ingress. If you want to disable this behavior globally, you can use ssl-redirect: \"false\" in the NGINX ConfigMap . To configure this feature for specific ingress resources, you can use the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: \"false\" annotation in the particular resource. When using SSL offloading outside of cluster (e.g. AWS ELB) it may be useful to enforce a redirect to HTTPS even when there is no TLS certificate available. This can be achieved by using the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/force-ssl-redirect: \"true\" annotation in the particular resource. Redirect from/to www \u00b6 In some scenarios is required to redirect from www.domain.com to domain.com or vice versa. To enable this feature use the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/from-to-www-redirect: \"true\" Attention If at some point a new Ingress is created with a host equal to one of the options (like domain.com ) the annotation will be omitted. Attention For HTTPS to HTTPS redirects is mandatory the SSL Certificate defined in the Secret, located in the TLS section of Ingress, contains both FQDN in the common name of the certificate. Whitelist source range \u00b6 You can specify allowed client IP source ranges through the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/whitelist-source-range annotation. The value is a comma separated list of CIDRs , e.g. 10.0.0.0/24,172.10.0.1 . To configure this setting globally for all Ingress rules, the whitelist-source-range value may be set in the NGINX ConfigMap . Note Adding an annotation to an Ingress rule overrides any global restriction. Custom timeouts \u00b6 Using the configuration configmap it is possible to set the default global timeout for connections to the upstream servers. In some scenarios is required to have different values. To allow this we provide annotations that allows this customization: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-connect-timeout nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-send-timeout nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-read-timeout nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-next-upstream nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-next-upstream-timeout nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-next-upstream-tries nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-request-buffering Proxy redirect \u00b6 With the annotations nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-redirect-from and nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-redirect-to it is possible to set the text that should be changed in the Location and Refresh header fields of a proxied server response Setting \"off\" or \"default\" in the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-redirect-from disables nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-redirect-to , otherwise, both annotations must be used in unison. Note that each annotation must be a string without spaces. By default the value of each annotation is \"off\". Custom max body size \u00b6 For NGINX, an 413 error will be returned to the client when the size in a request exceeds the maximum allowed size of the client request body. This size can be configured by the parameter client_max_body_size . To configure this setting globally for all Ingress rules, the proxy-body-size value may be set in the NGINX ConfigMap . To use custom values in an Ingress rule define these annotation: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size : 8m Proxy cookie domain \u00b6 Sets a text that should be changed in the domain attribute of the \"Set-Cookie\" header fields of a proxied server response. To configure this setting globally for all Ingress rules, the proxy-cookie-domain value may be set in the NGINX ConfigMap . Proxy cookie path \u00b6 Sets a text that should be changed in the path attribute of the \"Set-Cookie\" header fields of a proxied server response. To configure this setting globally for all Ingress rules, the proxy-cookie-path value may be set in the NGINX ConfigMap . Proxy buffering \u00b6 Enable or disable proxy buffering proxy_buffering . By default proxy buffering is disabled in the NGINX config. To configure this setting globally for all Ingress rules, the proxy-buffering value may be set in the NGINX ConfigMap . To use custom values in an Ingress rule define these annotation: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-buffering : \"on\" Proxy buffers Number \u00b6 Sets the number of the buffers in proxy_buffers used for reading the first part of the response received from the proxied server. By default proxy buffers number is set as 4 To configure this setting globally, set proxy-buffers-number in NGINX ConfigMap . To use custom values in an Ingress rule, define this annotation: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-buffers-number : \"4\" Proxy buffer size \u00b6 Sets the size of the buffer proxy_buffer_size used for reading the first part of the response received from the proxied server. By default proxy buffer size is set as \"4k\" To configure this setting globally, set proxy-buffer-size in NGINX ConfigMap . To use custom values in an Ingress rule, define this annotation: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-buffer-size : \"8k\" Proxy max temp file size \u00b6 When buffering of responses from the proxied server is enabled, and the whole response does not fit into the buffers set by the proxy_buffer_size and proxy_buffers directives, a part of the response can be saved to a temporary file. This directive sets the maximum size of the temporary file setting the proxy_max_temp_file_size . The size of data written to the temporary file at a time is set by the proxy_temp_file_write_size directive. The zero value disables buffering of responses to temporary files. To use custom values in an Ingress rule, define this annotation: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-max-temp-file-size : \"1024m\" Proxy HTTP version \u00b6 Using this annotation sets the proxy_http_version that the Nginx reverse proxy will use to communicate with the backend. By default this is set to \"1.1\". nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-http-version : \"1.0\" SSL ciphers \u00b6 Specifies the enabled ciphers . Using this annotation will set the ssl_ciphers directive at the server level. This configuration is active for all the paths in the host. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-ciphers : \"ALL:!aNULL:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP\" The following annotation will set the ssl_prefer_server_ciphers directive at the server level. This configuration specifies that server ciphers should be preferred over client ciphers when using the SSLv3 and TLS protocols. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-prefer-server-ciphers : \"true\" Connection proxy header \u00b6 Using this annotation will override the default connection header set by NGINX. To use custom values in an Ingress rule, define the annotation: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/connection-proxy-header : \"keep-alive\" Enable Access Log \u00b6 Access logs are enabled by default, but in some scenarios access logs might be required to be disabled for a given ingress. To do this, use the annotation: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/enable-access-log : \"false\" Enable Rewrite Log \u00b6 Rewrite logs are not enabled by default. In some scenarios it could be required to enable NGINX rewrite logs. Note that rewrite logs are sent to the error_log file at the notice level. To enable this feature use the annotation: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/enable-rewrite-log : \"true\" Enable Opentracing \u00b6 Opentracing can be enabled or disabled globally through the ConfigMap but this will sometimes need to be overridden to enable it or disable it for a specific ingress (e.g. to turn off tracing of external health check endpoints) nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/enable-opentracing : \"true\" X-Forwarded-Prefix Header \u00b6 To add the non-standard X-Forwarded-Prefix header to the upstream request with a string value, the following annotation can be used: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/x-forwarded-prefix : \"/path\" ModSecurity \u00b6 ModSecurity is an OpenSource Web Application firewall. It can be enabled for a particular set of ingress locations. The ModSecurity module must first be enabled by enabling ModSecurity in the ConfigMap . Note this will enable ModSecurity for all paths, and each path must be disabled manually.

Deploy Telegraf as a sidecar proxy to the Ingress controller configured to listen UDP with the socket listener input and to write using anyone of the outputs plugins like InfluxDB, Apache Kafka, Prometheus, etc.. (recommended) It's important to remember that there's no DNS resolver at this stage so you will have to configure an ip address to nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/influxdb-host . If you deploy Influx or Telegraf as sidecar (another container in the same pod) this becomes straightforward since you can directly use 127.0.0.1 . Backend Protocol \u00b6 Using backend-protocol annotations is possible to indicate how NGINX should communicate with the backend service.

Additionally, if the rewrite-target annotation is used on any Ingress for a given host, then the case insensitive regular expression location modifier will be enforced on ALL paths for a given host regardless of what Ingress they are defined on. Please read about ingress path matching before using this modifier. Satisfy \u00b6 By default, a request would need to satisfy all authentication requirements in order to be allowed. By using this annotation, requests that satisfy either any or all authentication requirements are allowed, based on the configuration value. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/satisfy : \"any\" Mirror \u00b6 Enables a request to be mirrored to a mirror backend. Responses by mirror backends are ignored. This feature is useful, to see how requests will react in \"test\" backends. The mirror backend can be set by applying: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/mirror-target : https://test.env.com/$request_uri By default the request-body is sent to the mirror backend, but can be turned off by applying: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/mirror-request-body : \"off\" Note: The mirror directive will be applied to all paths within the ingress resource.

A weight of 0 implies that no requests will be sent to the service in the Canary ingress by this canary rule. A weight of 100 means implies all requests will be sent to the alternative service specified in the Ingress. Canary rules are evaluated in order of precedence.

\u00b6 The objective of this document is to explain how the NGINX Ingress controller works, in particular how the NGINX model is built and why we need one. NGINX configuration \u00b6 The goal of this Ingress controller is the assembly of a configuration file (nginx.conf). The main implication of this requirement is the need to reload NGINX after any change in the configuration file. Though it is important to note that we don't reload Nginx on changes that impact only an upstream configuration (i.e Endpoints change when you deploy your app) . We use lua-nginx-module to achieve this. Check below to learn more about how it's done. NGINX model \u00b6 Usually, a Kubernetes Controller utilizes the synchronization loop pattern to check if the desired state in the controller is updated or a change is required. To this purpose, we need to build a model using different objects from the cluster, in particular (in no special order) Ingresses, Services, Endpoints, Secrets, and Configmaps to generate a point in time configuration file that reflects the state of the cluster. To get this object from the cluster, we use Kubernetes Informers , in particular, FilteredSharedInformer . This informers allows reacting to changes in using callbacks to individual changes when a new object is added, modified or removed. Unfortunately, there is no way to know if a particular change is going to affect the final configuration file. Therefore on every change, we have to rebuild a new model from scratch based on the state of cluster and compare it to the current model. If the new model equals to the current one, then we avoid generating a new NGINX configuration and triggering a reload. Otherwise, we check if the difference is only about Endpoints. If so we then send the new list of Endpoints to a Lua handler running inside Nginx using HTTP POST request and again avoid generating a new NGINX configuration and triggering a reload. If the difference between running and new model is about more than just Endpoints we create a new NGINX configuration based on the new model, replace the current model and trigger a reload. One of the uses of the model is to avoid unnecessary reloads when there's no change in the state and to detect conflicts in definitions. The final representation of the NGINX configuration is generated from a Go template using the new model as input for the variables required by the template. Building the NGINX model \u00b6 Building a model is an expensive operation, for this reason, the use of the synchronization loop is a must. By using a work queue it is possible to not lose changes and remove the use of sync.Mutex to force a single execution of the sync loop and additionally it is possible to create a time window between the start and end of the sync loop that allows us to discard unnecessary updates. It is important to understand that any change in the cluster could generate events that the informer will send to the controller and one of the reasons for the work queue . Operations to build the model: Order Ingress rules by CreationTimestamp field, i.e., old rules first. If the same path for the same host is defined in more than one Ingress, the oldest rule wins. If more than one Ingress contains a TLS section for the same host, the oldest rule wins. If multiple Ingresses define an annotation that affects the configuration of the Server block, the oldest rule wins. Create a list of NGINX Servers (per hostname) Create a list of NGINX Upstreams If multiple Ingresses define different paths for the same host, the ingress controller will merge the definitions. Annotations are applied to all the paths in the Ingress. Multiple Ingresses can define different annotations. These definitions are not shared between Ingresses. When a reload is required \u00b6 The next list describes the scenarios when a reload is required: New Ingress Resource Created. TLS section is added to existing Ingress. Change in Ingress annotations that impacts more than just upstream configuration. For instance load-balance annotation does not require a reload. A path is added/removed from an Ingress. An Ingress, Service, Secret is removed. Some missing referenced object from the Ingress is available, like a Service or Secret. A Secret is updated. Avoiding reloads \u00b6 In some cases, it is possible to avoid reloads, in particular when there is a change in the endpoints, i.e., a pod is started or replaced. It is out of the scope of this Ingress controller to remove reloads completely. This would require an incredible amount of work and at some point makes no sense. This can change only if NGINX changes the way new configurations are read, basically, new changes do not replace worker processes. Avoiding reloads on Endpoints changes \u00b6 On every endpoint change the controller fetches endpoints from all the services it sees and generates corresponding Backend objects. It then sends these objects to a Lua handler running inside Nginx. The Lua code in turn stores those backends in a shared memory zone. Then for every request Lua code running in balancer_by_lua context detects what endpoints it should choose upstream peer from and applies the configured load balancing algorithm to choose the peer. Then Nginx takes care of the rest. This way we avoid reloading Nginx on endpoint changes. Note that this includes annotation changes that affects only upstream configuration in Nginx as well. In a relatively big clusters with frequently deploying apps this feature saves significant number of Nginx reloads which can otherwise affect response latency, load balancing quality (after every reload Nginx resets the state of load balancing) and so on. Avoiding outage from wrong configuration \u00b6 Because the ingress controller works using the synchronization loop pattern , it is applying the configuration for all matching objects. In case some Ingress objects have a broken configuration, for example a syntax error in the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippet annotation, the generated configuration becomes invalid, does not reload and hence no more ingresses will be taken into account. To prevent this situation to happen, the nginx ingress controller optionally exposes a validating admission webhook server to ensure the validity of incoming ingress objects. This webhook appends the incoming ingress objects to the list of ingresses, generates the configuration and calls nginx to ensure the configuration has no syntax errors.","title":"How it works"},{"location":"how-it-works/#how-it-works","text":"The objective of this document is to explain how the NGINX Ingress controller works, in particular how the NGINX model is built and why we need one.","title":"How it works"},{"location":"how-it-works/#nginx-configuration","text":"The goal of this Ingress controller is the assembly of a configuration file (nginx.conf).

Therefore, authentication is required, which can be achieved in two different ways: Service Account: This is recommended, because nothing has to be configured. The Ingress controller will use information provided by the system to communicate with the API server. See 'Service Account' section for details. Kubeconfig file: In some Kubernetes environments service accounts are not available. In this case a manual configuration is required. The Ingress controller binary can be started with the --kubeconfig flag. The value of the flag is a path to a file specifying how to connect to the API server. Using the --kubeconfig does not requires the flag --apiserver-host . The format of the file is identical to ~/.kube/config which is used by kubectl to connect to the API server. See 'kubeconfig' section for details. Using the flag --apiserver-host : Using this flag --apiserver-host=http://localhost:8080 it is possible to specify an unsecured API server or reach a remote kubernetes cluster using kubectl proxy . Please do not use this approach in production. In the diagram below you can see the full authentication flow with all options, starting with the browser on the lower left hand side.

Find the secret name with kubectl get secrets | grep service-account and delete it with kubectl delete secret <name> . It will automatically be recreated. You have a non-standard Kubernetes installation and the file containing the token may not be present. The API server will mount a volume containing this file, but only if the API server is configured to use the ServiceAccount admission controller. If you experience this error, verify that your API server is using the ServiceAccount admission controller. If you are configuring the API server by hand, you can set this with the --admission-control parameter. Note that you should use other admission controllers as well. Before configuring this option, you should read about admission controllers.

Bare-metal environments lack this commodity, requiring a slightly different setup to offer the same kind of access to external consumers. The rest of this document describes a few recommended approaches to deploying the NGINX Ingress controller inside a Kubernetes cluster running on bare-metal. A pure software solution: MetalLB \u00b6 MetalLB provides a network load-balancer implementation for Kubernetes clusters that do not run on a supported cloud provider, effectively allowing the usage of LoadBalancer Services within any cluster. This section demonstrates how to use the Layer 2 configuration mode of MetalLB together with the NGINX Ingress controller in a Kubernetes cluster that has publicly accessible nodes . In this mode, one node attracts all the traffic for the ingress-nginx Service IP. See Traffic policies for more details. Note The description of other supported configuration modes is off-scope for this document. Warning MetalLB is currently in beta . Read about the Project maturity and make sure you inform yourself by reading the official documentation thoroughly. MetalLB can be deployed either with a simple Kubernetes manifest or with Helm. The rest of this example assumes MetalLB was deployed following the Installation instructions. MetalLB requires a pool of IP addresses in order to be able to take ownership of the ingress-nginx Service. This pool can be defined in a ConfigMap named config located in the same namespace as the MetalLB controller. This pool of IPs must be dedicated to MetalLB's use, you can't reuse the Kubernetes node IPs or IPs handed out by a DHCP server. Example Given the following 3-node Kubernetes cluster (the external IP is added as an example, in most bare-metal environments this value is <None>) $ kubectl get node NAME STATUS ROLES EXTERNAL-IP host-1 Ready master 203.0.113.1 host-2 Ready node 203.0.113.2 host-3 Ready node 203.0.113.3 After creating the following ConfigMap, MetalLB takes ownership of one of the IP addresses in the pool and updates the loadBalancer IP field of the ingress-nginx Service accordingly. apiVersion : v1 kind : ConfigMap metadata : namespace : metallb-system name : config data : config : | address-pools: - name: default protocol: layer2 addresses: - 203.0.113.10-203.0.113.15 $ kubectl -n ingress-nginx get svc NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) default-http-backend ClusterIP 10.0.64.249 <none> 80/TCP ingress-nginx LoadBalancer 10.0.220.217 203.0.113.10 80:30100/TCP,443:30101/TCP As soon as MetalLB sets the external IP address of the ingress-nginx LoadBalancer Service, the corresponding entries are created in the iptables NAT table and the node with the selected IP address starts responding to HTTP requests on the ports configured in the LoadBalancer Service: $ curl -D- http://203.0.113.3 -H 'Host: myapp.example.com' HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx/1.15.2 Tip In order to preserve the source IP address in HTTP requests sent to NGINX, it is necessary to use the Local traffic policy. Traffic policies are described in more details in Traffic policies as well as in the next section. Over a NodePort Service \u00b6 Due to its simplicity, this is the setup a user will deploy by default when following the steps described in the installation guide . Info A Service of type NodePort exposes, via the kube-proxy component, the same unprivileged port (default: 30000-32767) on every Kubernetes node, masters included. For more information, see Services . In this configuration, the NGINX container remains isolated from the host network. As a result, it can safely bind to any port, including the standard HTTP ports 80 and 443. However, due to the container namespace isolation, a client located outside the cluster network (e.g. on the public internet) is not able to access Ingress hosts directly on ports 80 and 443. Instead, the external client must append the NodePort allocated to the ingress-nginx Service to HTTP requests. Example Given the NodePort 30100 allocated to the ingress-nginx Service $ kubectl -n ingress-nginx get svc NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP PORT(S) default-http-backend ClusterIP 10.0.64.249 80/TCP ingress-nginx NodePort 10.0.220.217 80:30100/TCP,443:30101/TCP and a Kubernetes node with the public IP address 203.0.113.2 (the external IP is added as an example, in most bare-metal environments this value is <None>) $ kubectl get node NAME STATUS ROLES EXTERNAL-IP host-1 Ready master 203.0.113.1 host-2 Ready node 203.0.113.2 host-3 Ready node 203.0.113.3 a client would reach an Ingress with host: myapp.example.com at http://myapp.example.com:30100 , where the myapp.example.com subdomain resolves to the 203.0.113.2 IP address. Impact on the host system While it may sound tempting to reconfigure the NodePort range using the --service-node-port-range API server flag to include unprivileged ports and be able to expose ports 80 and 443, doing so may result in unexpected issues including (but not limited to) the use of ports otherwise reserved to system daemons and the necessity to grant kube-proxy privileges it may otherwise not require. This practice is therefore discouraged . See the other approaches proposed in this page for alternatives. This approach has a few other limitations one ought to be aware of: Source IP address Services of type NodePort perform source address translation by default. This means the source IP of a HTTP request is always the IP address of the Kubernetes node that received the request from the perspective of NGINX. The recommended way to preserve the source IP in a NodePort setup is to set the value of the externalTrafficPolicy field of the ingress-nginx Service spec to Local ( example ). Warning This setting effectively drops packets sent to Kubernetes nodes which are not running any instance of the NGINX Ingress controller. Consider assigning NGINX Pods to specific nodes in order to control on what nodes the NGINX Ingress controller should be scheduled or not scheduled. Example In a Kubernetes cluster composed of 3 nodes (the external IP is added as an example, in most bare-metal environments this value is <None>) $ kubectl get node NAME STATUS ROLES EXTERNAL-IP host-1 Ready master 203.0.113.1 host-2 Ready node 203.0.113.2 host-3 Ready node 203.0.113.3 with a ingress-nginx-controller Deployment composed of 2 replicas $ kubectl -n ingress-nginx get pod -o wide NAME READY STATUS IP NODE default-http-backend-7c5bc89cc9-p86md 1/1 Running 172.17.1.1 host-2 ingress-nginx-controller-cf9ff8c96-8vvf8 1/1 Running 172.17.0.3 host-3 ingress-nginx-controller-cf9ff8c96-pxsds 1/1 Running 172.17.1.4 host-2 Requests sent to host-2 and host-3 would be forwarded to NGINX and original client's IP would be preserved, while requests to host-1 would get dropped because there is no NGINX replica running on that node. Ingress status Because NodePort Services do not get a LoadBalancerIP assigned by definition, the NGINX Ingress controller does not update the status of Ingress objects it manages . $ kubectl get ingress NAME HOSTS ADDRESS PORTS test-ingress myapp.example.com 80 Despite the fact there is no load balancer providing a public IP address to the NGINX Ingress controller, it is possible to force the status update of all managed Ingress objects by setting the externalIPs field of the ingress-nginx Service. Warning There is more to setting externalIPs than just enabling the NGINX Ingress controller to update the status of Ingress objects. Please read about this option in the Services page of official Kubernetes documentation as well as the section about External IPs in this document for more information. Example Given the following 3-node Kubernetes cluster (the external IP is added as an example, in most bare-metal environments this value is <None>) $ kubectl get node NAME STATUS ROLES EXTERNAL-IP host-1 Ready master 203.0.113.1 host-2 Ready node 203.0.113.2 host-3 Ready node 203.0.113.3 one could edit the ingress-nginx Service and add the following field to the object spec spec : externalIPs : - 203.0.113.1 - 203.0.113.2 - 203.0.113.3 which would in turn be reflected on Ingress objects as follows: $ kubectl get ingress -o wide NAME HOSTS ADDRESS PORTS test-ingress myapp.example.com 203.0.113.1,203.0.113.2,203.0.113.3 80 Redirects As NGINX is not aware of the port translation operated by the NodePort Service , backend applications are responsible for generating redirect URLs that take into account the URL used by external clients, including the NodePort. Example Redirects generated by NGINX, for instance HTTP to HTTPS or domain to www.domain , are generated without NodePort: $ curl -D- http://myapp.example.com:30100 ` HTTP/1.1 308 Permanent Redirect Server: nginx/1.15.2 Location: https://myapp.example.com/ #-> missing NodePort in HTTPS redirect Via the host network \u00b6 In a setup where there is no external load balancer available but using NodePorts is not an option, one can configure ingress-nginx Pods to use the network of the host they run on instead of a dedicated network namespace. The benefit of this approach is that the NGINX Ingress controller can bind ports 80 and 443 directly to Kubernetes nodes' network interfaces, without the extra network translation imposed by NodePort Services. Note This approach does not leverage any Service object to expose the NGINX Ingress controller. If the ingress-nginx Service exists in the target cluster, it is recommended to delete it . This can be achieved by enabling the hostNetwork option in the Pods' spec. template : spec : hostNetwork : true Security considerations Enabling this option exposes every system daemon to the NGINX Ingress controller on any network interface, including the host's loopback. Please evaluate the impact this may have on the security of your system carefully. Example Consider this ingress-nginx-controller Deployment composed of 2 replicas, NGINX Pods inherit from the IP address of their host instead of an internal Pod IP. $ kubectl -n ingress-nginx get pod -o wide NAME READY STATUS IP NODE default-http-backend-7c5bc89cc9-p86md 1/1 Running 172.17.1.1 host-2 ingress-nginx-controller-5b4cf5fc6-7lg6c 1/1 Running 203.0.113.3 host-3 ingress-nginx-controller-5b4cf5fc6-lzrls 1/1 Running 203.0.113.2 host-2 One major limitation of this deployment approach is that only a single NGINX Ingress controller Pod may be scheduled on each cluster node, because binding the same port multiple times on the same network interface is technically impossible. Pods that are unschedulable due to such situation fail with the following event: $ kubectl -n ingress-nginx describe pod <unschedulable-ingress-nginx-controller-pod> ... Events: Type Reason From Message ---- ------ ---- ------- Warning FailedScheduling default-scheduler 0/3 nodes are available: 3 node(s) didn't have free ports for the requested pod ports. One way to ensure only schedulable Pods are created is to deploy the NGINX Ingress controller as a DaemonSet instead of a traditional Deployment. Info A DaemonSet schedules exactly one type of Pod per cluster node, masters included, unless a node is configured to repel those Pods . For more information, see DaemonSet . Because most properties of DaemonSet objects are identical to Deployment objects, this documentation page leaves the configuration of the corresponding manifest at the user's discretion. Like with NodePorts, this approach has a few quirks it is important to be aware of. DNS resolution Pods configured with hostNetwork: true do not use the internal DNS resolver (i.e. kube-dns or CoreDNS ), unless their dnsPolicy spec field is set to ClusterFirstWithHostNet . Consider using this setting if NGINX is expected to resolve internal names for any reason. Ingress status Because there is no Service exposing the NGINX Ingress controller in a configuration using the host network, the default --publish-service flag used in standard cloud setups does not apply and the status of all Ingress objects remains blank. $ kubectl get ingress NAME HOSTS ADDRESS PORTS test-ingress myapp.example.com 80 Instead, and because bare-metal nodes usually don't have an ExternalIP, one has to enable the --report-node-internal-ip-address flag, which sets the status of all Ingress objects to the internal IP address of all nodes running the NGINX Ingress controller. Example Given a ingress-nginx-controller DaemonSet composed of 2 replicas $ kubectl -n ingress-nginx get pod -o wide NAME READY STATUS IP NODE default-http-backend-7c5bc89cc9-p86md 1/1 Running 172.17.1.1 host-2 ingress-nginx-controller-5b4cf5fc6-7lg6c 1/1 Running 203.0.113.3 host-3 ingress-nginx-controller-5b4cf5fc6-lzrls 1/1 Running 203.0.113.2 host-2 the controller sets the status of all Ingress objects it manages to the following value: $ kubectl get ingress -o wide NAME HOSTS ADDRESS PORTS test-ingress myapp.example.com 203.0.113.2,203.0.113.3 80 Note Alternatively, it is possible to override the address written to Ingress objects using the --publish-status-address flag. See Command line arguments . Using a self-provisioned edge \u00b6 Similarly to cloud environments, this deployment approach requires an edge network component providing a public entrypoint to the Kubernetes cluster. This edge component can be either hardware (e.g. vendor appliance) or software (e.g. HAproxy ) and is usually managed outside of the Kubernetes landscape by operations teams. Such deployment builds upon the NodePort Service described above in Over a NodePort Service , with one significant difference: external clients do not access cluster nodes directly, only the edge component does. This is particularly suitable for private Kubernetes clusters where none of the nodes has a public IP address. On the edge side, the only prerequisite is to dedicate a public IP address that forwards all HTTP traffic to Kubernetes nodes and/or masters. Incoming traffic on TCP ports 80 and 443 is forwarded to the corresponding HTTP and HTTPS NodePort on the target nodes as shown in the diagram below: External IPs \u00b6 Source IP address This method does not allow preserving the source IP of HTTP requests in any manner, it is therefore not recommended to use it despite its apparent simplicity. The externalIPs Service option was previously mentioned in the NodePort section. As per the Services page of the official Kubernetes documentation, the externalIPs option causes kube-proxy to route traffic sent to arbitrary IP addresses and on the Service ports to the endpoints of that Service. These IP addresses must belong to the target node . Example Given the following 3-node Kubernetes cluster (the external IP is added as an example, in most bare-metal environments this value is <None>) $ kubectl get node NAME STATUS ROLES EXTERNAL-IP host-1 Ready master 203.0.113.1 host-2 Ready node 203.0.113.2 host-3 Ready node 203.0.113.3 and the following ingress-nginx NodePort Service $ kubectl -n ingress-nginx get svc NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP PORT(S) ingress-nginx NodePort 10.0.220.217 80:30100/TCP,443:30101/TCP One could set the following external IPs in the Service spec, and NGINX would become available on both the NodePort and the Service port: spec : externalIPs : - 203.0.113.2 - 203.0.113.3 $ curl -D- http://myapp.example.com:30100 HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx/1.15.2 $ curl -D- http://myapp.example.com HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx/1.15.2 We assume the myapp.example.com subdomain above resolves to both 203.0.113.2 and 203.0.113.3 IP addresses.","title":"Bare-metal considerations"},{"location":"deploy/baremetal/#bare-metal-considerations","text":"In traditional cloud environments, where network load balancers are available on-demand, a single Kubernetes manifest suffices to provide a single point of contact to the NGINX Ingress controller to external clients and, indirectly, to any application running inside the cluster.

Example Given the following 3-node Kubernetes cluster (the external IP is added as an example, in most bare-metal environments this value is <None>) $ kubectl get node NAME STATUS ROLES EXTERNAL-IP host-1 Ready master 203.0.113.1 host-2 Ready node 203.0.113.2 host-3 Ready node 203.0.113.3 After creating the following ConfigMap, MetalLB takes ownership of one of the IP addresses in the pool and updates the loadBalancer IP field of the ingress-nginx Service accordingly. apiVersion : v1 kind : ConfigMap metadata : namespace : metallb-system name : config data : config : | address-pools: - name: default protocol: layer2 addresses: - 203.0.113.10-203.0.113.15 $ kubectl -n ingress-nginx get svc NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) default-http-backend ClusterIP 10.0.64.249 <none> 80/TCP ingress-nginx LoadBalancer 10.0.220.217 203.0.113.10 80:30100/TCP,443:30101/TCP As soon as MetalLB sets the external IP address of the ingress-nginx LoadBalancer Service, the corresponding entries are created in the iptables NAT table and the node with the selected IP address starts responding to HTTP requests on the ports configured in the LoadBalancer Service: $ curl -D- http://203.0.113.3 -H 'Host: myapp.example.com' HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx/1.15.2 Tip In order to preserve the source IP address in HTTP requests sent to NGINX, it is necessary to use the Local traffic policy. Traffic policies are described in more details in Traffic policies as well as in the next section.","title":"A pure software solution: MetalLB"},{"location":"deploy/baremetal/#over-a-nodeport-service","text":"Due to its simplicity, this is the setup a user will deploy by default when following the steps described in the installation guide . Info A Service of type NodePort exposes, via the kube-proxy component, the same unprivileged port (default: 30000-32767) on every Kubernetes node, masters included. For more information, see Services . In this configuration, the NGINX container remains isolated from the host network. As a result, it can safely bind to any port, including the standard HTTP ports 80 and 443. However, due to the container namespace isolation, a client located outside the cluster network (e.g. on the public internet) is not able to access Ingress hosts directly on ports 80 and 443. Instead, the external client must append the NodePort allocated to the ingress-nginx Service to HTTP requests. Example Given the NodePort 30100 allocated to the ingress-nginx Service $ kubectl -n ingress-nginx get svc NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP PORT(S) default-http-backend ClusterIP 10.0.64.249 80/TCP ingress-nginx NodePort 10.0.220.217 80:30100/TCP,443:30101/TCP and a Kubernetes node with the public IP address 203.0.113.2 (the external IP is added as an example, in most bare-metal environments this value is <None>) $ kubectl get node NAME STATUS ROLES EXTERNAL-IP host-1 Ready master 203.0.113.1 host-2 Ready node 203.0.113.2 host-3 Ready node 203.0.113.3 a client would reach an Ingress with host: myapp.example.com at http://myapp.example.com:30100 , where the myapp.example.com subdomain resolves to the 203.0.113.2 IP address. Impact on the host system While it may sound tempting to reconfigure the NodePort range using the --service-node-port-range API server flag to include unprivileged ports and be able to expose ports 80 and 443, doing so may result in unexpected issues including (but not limited to) the use of ports otherwise reserved to system daemons and the necessity to grant kube-proxy privileges it may otherwise not require. This practice is therefore discouraged . See the other approaches proposed in this page for alternatives. This approach has a few other limitations one ought to be aware of: Source IP address Services of type NodePort perform source address translation by default. This means the source IP of a HTTP request is always the IP address of the Kubernetes node that received the request from the perspective of NGINX. The recommended way to preserve the source IP in a NodePort setup is to set the value of the externalTrafficPolicy field of the ingress-nginx Service spec to Local ( example ). Warning This setting effectively drops packets sent to Kubernetes nodes which are not running any instance of the NGINX Ingress controller. Consider assigning NGINX Pods to specific nodes in order to control on what nodes the NGINX Ingress controller should be scheduled or not scheduled. Example In a Kubernetes cluster composed of 3 nodes (the external IP is added as an example, in most bare-metal environments this value is <None>) $ kubectl get node NAME STATUS ROLES EXTERNAL-IP host-1 Ready master 203.0.113.1 host-2 Ready node 203.0.113.2 host-3 Ready node 203.0.113.3 with a ingress-nginx-controller Deployment composed of 2 replicas $ kubectl -n ingress-nginx get pod -o wide NAME READY STATUS IP NODE default-http-backend-7c5bc89cc9-p86md 1/1 Running 172.17.1.1 host-2 ingress-nginx-controller-cf9ff8c96-8vvf8 1/1 Running 172.17.0.3 host-3 ingress-nginx-controller-cf9ff8c96-pxsds 1/1 Running 172.17.1.4 host-2 Requests sent to host-2 and host-3 would be forwarded to NGINX and original client's IP would be preserved, while requests to host-1 would get dropped because there is no NGINX replica running on that node. Ingress status Because NodePort Services do not get a LoadBalancerIP assigned by definition, the NGINX Ingress controller does not update the status of Ingress objects it manages . $ kubectl get ingress NAME HOSTS ADDRESS PORTS test-ingress myapp.example.com 80 Despite the fact there is no load balancer providing a public IP address to the NGINX Ingress controller, it is possible to force the status update of all managed Ingress objects by setting the externalIPs field of the ingress-nginx Service. Warning There is more to setting externalIPs than just enabling the NGINX Ingress controller to update the status of Ingress objects. Please read about this option in the Services page of official Kubernetes documentation as well as the section about External IPs in this document for more information. Example Given the following 3-node Kubernetes cluster (the external IP is added as an example, in most bare-metal environments this value is <None>) $ kubectl get node NAME STATUS ROLES EXTERNAL-IP host-1 Ready master 203.0.113.1 host-2 Ready node 203.0.113.2 host-3 Ready node 203.0.113.3 one could edit the ingress-nginx Service and add the following field to the object spec spec : externalIPs : - 203.0.113.1 - 203.0.113.2 - 203.0.113.3 which would in turn be reflected on Ingress objects as follows: $ kubectl get ingress -o wide NAME HOSTS ADDRESS PORTS test-ingress myapp.example.com 203.0.113.1,203.0.113.2,203.0.113.3 80 Redirects As NGINX is not aware of the port translation operated by the NodePort Service , backend applications are responsible for generating redirect URLs that take into account the URL used by external clients, including the NodePort. Example Redirects generated by NGINX, for instance HTTP to HTTPS or domain to www.domain , are generated without NodePort: $ curl -D- http://myapp.example.com:30100 ` HTTP/1.1 308 Permanent Redirect Server: nginx/1.15.2 Location: https://myapp.example.com/ #-> missing NodePort in HTTPS redirect","title":"Over a NodePort Service"},{"location":"deploy/baremetal/#via-the-host-network","text":"In a setup where there is no external load balancer available but using NodePorts is not an option, one can configure ingress-nginx Pods to use the network of the host they run on instead of a dedicated network namespace. The benefit of this approach is that the NGINX Ingress controller can bind ports 80 and 443 directly to Kubernetes nodes' network interfaces, without the extra network translation imposed by NodePort Services. Note This approach does not leverage any Service object to expose the NGINX Ingress controller. If the ingress-nginx Service exists in the target cluster, it is recommended to delete it . This can be achieved by enabling the hostNetwork option in the Pods' spec. template : spec : hostNetwork : true Security considerations Enabling this option exposes every system daemon to the NGINX Ingress controller on any network interface, including the host's loopback. Please evaluate the impact this may have on the security of your system carefully. Example Consider this ingress-nginx-controller Deployment composed of 2 replicas, NGINX Pods inherit from the IP address of their host instead of an internal Pod IP. $ kubectl -n ingress-nginx get pod -o wide NAME READY STATUS IP NODE default-http-backend-7c5bc89cc9-p86md 1/1 Running 172.17.1.1 host-2 ingress-nginx-controller-5b4cf5fc6-7lg6c 1/1 Running 203.0.113.3 host-3 ingress-nginx-controller-5b4cf5fc6-lzrls 1/1 Running 203.0.113.2 host-2 One major limitation of this deployment approach is that only a single NGINX Ingress controller Pod may be scheduled on each cluster node, because binding the same port multiple times on the same network interface is technically impossible. Pods that are unschedulable due to such situation fail with the following event: $ kubectl -n ingress-nginx describe pod <unschedulable-ingress-nginx-controller-pod> ... Events: Type Reason From Message ---- ------ ---- ------- Warning FailedScheduling default-scheduler 0/3 nodes are available: 3 node(s) didn't have free ports for the requested pod ports. One way to ensure only schedulable Pods are created is to deploy the NGINX Ingress controller as a DaemonSet instead of a traditional Deployment. Info A DaemonSet schedules exactly one type of Pod per cluster node, masters included, unless a node is configured to repel those Pods . For more information, see DaemonSet . Because most properties of DaemonSet objects are identical to Deployment objects, this documentation page leaves the configuration of the corresponding manifest at the user's discretion. Like with NodePorts, this approach has a few quirks it is important to be aware of. DNS resolution Pods configured with hostNetwork: true do not use the internal DNS resolver (i.e. kube-dns or CoreDNS ), unless their dnsPolicy spec field is set to ClusterFirstWithHostNet . Consider using this setting if NGINX is expected to resolve internal names for any reason. Ingress status Because there is no Service exposing the NGINX Ingress controller in a configuration using the host network, the default --publish-service flag used in standard cloud setups does not apply and the status of all Ingress objects remains blank. $ kubectl get ingress NAME HOSTS ADDRESS PORTS test-ingress myapp.example.com 80 Instead, and because bare-metal nodes usually don't have an ExternalIP, one has to enable the --report-node-internal-ip-address flag, which sets the status of all Ingress objects to the internal IP address of all nodes running the NGINX Ingress controller. Example Given a ingress-nginx-controller DaemonSet composed of 2 replicas $ kubectl -n ingress-nginx get pod -o wide NAME READY STATUS IP NODE default-http-backend-7c5bc89cc9-p86md 1/1 Running 172.17.1.1 host-2 ingress-nginx-controller-5b4cf5fc6-7lg6c 1/1 Running 203.0.113.3 host-3 ingress-nginx-controller-5b4cf5fc6-lzrls 1/1 Running 203.0.113.2 host-2 the controller sets the status of all Ingress objects it manages to the following value: $ kubectl get ingress -o wide NAME HOSTS ADDRESS PORTS test-ingress myapp.example.com 203.0.113.2,203.0.113.3 80 Note Alternatively, it is possible to override the address written to Ingress objects using the --publish-status-address flag. See Command line arguments .","title":"Via the host network"},{"location":"deploy/baremetal/#using-a-self-provisioned-edge","text":"Similarly to cloud environments, this deployment approach requires an edge network component providing a public entrypoint to the Kubernetes cluster. This edge component can be either hardware (e.g. vendor appliance) or software (e.g. HAproxy ) and is usually managed outside of the Kubernetes landscape by operations teams. Such deployment builds upon the NodePort Service described above in Over a NodePort Service , with one significant difference: external clients do not access cluster nodes directly, only the edge component does. This is particularly suitable for private Kubernetes clusters where none of the nodes has a public IP address. On the edge side, the only prerequisite is to dedicate a public IP address that forwards all HTTP traffic to Kubernetes nodes and/or masters.

This way ingress-nginx pod will do its best to proxy to zone-local endpoint. Motivation \u00b6 When users run their services across multiple availability zones they usually pay for egress traffic between zones. Providers such as GCP, and Amazon EC2 usually charge extra for this feature. ingress-nginx when picking an endpoint to route request to does not consider whether the endpoint is in a different zone or the same one. That means it's at least equally likely that it will pick an endpoint from another zone and proxy the request to it. In this situation response from the endpoint to the ingress-nginx pod is considered inter-zone traffic and usually costs extra money. At the time of this writing, GCP charges $0.01 per GB of inter-zone egress traffic according to https://cloud.google.com/compute/network-pricing. According to https://datapath.io/resources/blog/what-are-aws-data-transfer-costs-and-how-to-minimize-them/ Amazon also charges the same amount of money as GCP for cross-zone, egress traffic. This can be a lot of money depending on once's traffic. By teaching ingress-nginx about zones we can eliminate or at least decrease this cost. Arguably inter-zone network latency should also be better than cross-zone.

After that, it will post that data as part of endpoints to Lua land. When picking an endpoint, the Lua balancer will try to pick zone-local endpoint first and if there is no zone-local endpoint then it will fall back to current behaviour. Initially, this feature should be optional since it is going to make it harder to reason about the load balancing and not everyone might want that. How does controller know what zone it runs in? We can have the pod spec pass the node name using downward API as an environment variable. Upon startup, the controller can get node details from the API based on the node name. Once the node details are obtained we can extract the zone from the failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone annotation. Then we can pass that value to Lua land through Nginx configuration when loading lua_ingress.lua module in init_by_lua phase. How do we extract zones for endpoints? We can have the controller watch create and update events on nodes in the entire cluster and based on that keep the map of nodes to zones in the memory. And when we generate endpoints list, we can access node name using .subsets.addresses[i].nodeName and based on that fetch zone from the map in memory and store it as a field on the endpoint. This solution assumes failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone annotation does not change until the end of the node's life. Otherwise, we have to watch update events as well on the nodes and that'll add even more overhead. Alternatively, we can get the list of nodes only when there's no node in the memory for the given node name. This is probably a better solution because then we would avoid watching for API changes on node resources. We can eagerly fetch all the nodes and build node name to zone mapping on start. From there on, it will sync during endpoint building in the main event loop if there's no existing entry for the node of an endpoint. This means an extra API call in case cluster has expanded. How do we make sure we do our best to choose zone-local endpoint? This will be done on the Lua side. For every backend, we will initialize two balancer instances: (1) with all endpoints (2) with all endpoints corresponding to the current zone for the backend. Then given the request once we choose what backend needs to serve the request, we will first try to use a zonal balancer for that backend. If a zonal balancer does not exist (i.e. there's no zonal endpoint) then we will use a general balancer. In case of zonal outages, we assume that the readiness probe will fail and the controller will see no endpoints for the backend and therefore we will use a general balancer. We can enable the feature using a configmap setting. Doing it this way makes it easier to rollback in case of a problem.

It should be possible to collect this information before implementation begins in order to avoid requiring implementors to split their attention between writing release notes and implementing the feature itself. A good summary is probably at least a paragraph in length. Motivation \u00b6 This section is for explicitly listing the motivation, goals and non-goals of this KEP. Describe why the change is important and the benefits to users. The motivation section can optionally provide links to experience reports to demonstrate the interest in a KEP within the wider Kubernetes community. Goals \u00b6 List the specific goals of the KEP. How will we know that this has succeeded? Non-Goals \u00b6 What is out of scope for this KEP? Listing non-goals helps to focus discussion and make progress. Proposal \u00b6 This is where we get down to the nitty gritty of what the proposal actually is. User Stories [optional] \u00b6 Detail the things that people will be able to do if this KEP is implemented. Include as much detail as possible so that people can understand the \"how\" of the system.

Go in to as much detail as necessary here. This might be a good place to talk about core concepts and how they releate. Risks and Mitigations \u00b6 What are the risks of this proposal and how do we mitigate. Think broadly. For example, consider both security and how this will impact the larger kubernetes ecosystem. How will security be reviewed and by whom? How will UX be reviewed and by whom? Consider including folks that also work outside project. Design Details \u00b6 Test Plan \u00b6 Note: Section not required until targeted at a release. Consider the following in developing a test plan for this enhancement: Will there be e2e and integration tests, in addition to unit tests? How will it be tested in isolation vs with other components? No need to outline all of the test cases, just the general strategy. Anything that would count as tricky in the implementation and anything particularly challenging to test should be called out.

Prerequisites \u00b6 You have a kubernetes cluster running. You have a domain name such as example.com that is configured to route traffic to the ingress controller. Replace references to fortune-teller.stack.build (the domain name used in this example) to your own domain name (you're also responsible for provisioning an SSL certificate for the ingress). You have the nginx-ingress controller installed in typical fashion (must be at least quay.io/kubernetes-ingress-controller/nginx-ingress-controller:0.30.0 for grpc support. You have a backend application running a gRPC server and listening for TCP traffic. If you prefer, you can use the fortune-teller application provided here as an example. Step 1: kubernetes Deployment \u00b6 $ kubectl create -f app.yaml This is a standard kubernetes deployment object. It is running a grpc service listening on port 50051 . The sample application fortune-teller-app is a grpc server implemented in go. Here's the stripped-down implementation: func main () { grpcServer := grpc . NewServer () fortune . RegisterFortuneTellerServer ( grpcServer , & FortuneTeller {}) lis , _ := net . Listen ( \"tcp\" , \":50051\" ) grpcServer . Serve ( lis ) } The takeaway is that we are not doing any TLS configuration on the server (as we are terminating TLS at the ingress level, grpc traffic will travel unencrypted inside the cluster and arrive \"insecure\"). For your own application you may or may not want to do this. If you prefer to forward encrypted traffic to your POD and terminate TLS at the gRPC server itself, add the ingress annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol: \"GRPCS\" . Step 2: the kubernetes Service \u00b6 $ kubectl create -f svc.yaml Here we have a typical service. Nothing special, just routing traffic to the backend application on port 50051 . Step 3: the kubernetes Ingress \u00b6 $ kubectl create -f ingress.yaml A few things to note: We've tagged the ingress with the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol: \"GRPC\" .

Step 4: test the connection \u00b6 Once we've applied our configuration to kubernetes, it's time to test that we can actually talk to the backend. To do this, we'll use the grpcurl utility: $ grpcurl fortune-teller.stack.build:443 build.stack.fortune.FortuneTeller/Predict { \"message\" : \"Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.\\n\\t\\t-- Mark Twain, \\\"Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar\\\"\" } Debugging Hints \u00b6 Obviously, watch the logs on your app. Watch the logs for the nginx-ingress-controller (increasing verbosity as needed).

Prerequisites \u00b6 You need a TLS cert and a test HTTP service for this example. You will also need to make sure your Ingress targets exactly one Ingress controller by specifying the ingress.class annotation , and that you have an ingress controller running in your cluster. Acquiring an IP \u00b6 Since instances of the nginx controller actually run on nodes in your cluster, by default nginx Ingresses will only get static IPs if your cloudprovider supports static IP assignments to nodes. On GKE/GCE for example, even though nodes get static IPs, the IPs are not retained across upgrade. To acquire a static IP for the nginx ingress controller, simply put it behind a Service of Type=LoadBalancer . First, create a loadbalancer Service and wait for it to acquire an IP $ kubectl create -f static-ip-svc.yaml service \"nginx-ingress-lb\" created $ kubectl get svc nginx-ingress-lb NAME CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE nginx-ingress-lb 10.0.138.113 104.154.109.191 80:31457/TCP,443:32240/TCP 15m then, update the ingress controller so it adopts the static IP of the Service by passing the --publish-service flag (the example yaml used in the next step already has it set to \"nginx-ingress-lb\"). $ kubectl create -f nginx-ingress-controller.yaml deployment \"nginx-ingress-controller\" created Assigning the IP to an Ingress \u00b6 From here on every Ingress created with the ingress.class annotation set to nginx will get the IP allocated in the previous step $ kubectl create -f nginx-ingress.yaml ingress \"nginx-ingress\" created $ kubectl get ing ingress-nginx NAME HOSTS ADDRESS PORTS AGE nginx-ingress * 104.154.109.191 80, 443 13m $ curl 104 .154.109.191 -kL CLIENT VALUES: client_address=10.180.1.25 command=GET real path=/ query=nil request_version=1.1 request_uri=http://104.154.109.191:8080/ ...

For instance, metadata : name : foo annotations : kubernetes.io/ingress.class : \"gce\" will target the GCE controller, forcing the nginx controller to ignore it, while an annotation like metadata : name : foo annotations : kubernetes.io/ingress.class : \"nginx\" will target the nginx controller, forcing the GCE controller to ignore it. To reiterate, setting the annotation to any value which does not match a valid ingress class will force the NGINX Ingress controller to ignore your Ingress. If you are only running a single NGINX ingress controller, this can be achieved by setting the annotation to any value except \"nginx\" or an empty string. Do this if you wish to use one of the other Ingress controllers at the same time as the NGINX controller. Multiple ingress-nginx controllers \u00b6 This mechanism also provides users the ability to run multiple NGINX ingress controllers (e.g. one which serves public traffic, one which serves \"internal\" traffic). To do this, the option --ingress-class must be changed to a value unique for the cluster within the definition of the replication controller.

When running multiple ingress-nginx controllers, it will only process an unset class annotation if one of the controllers uses the default --ingress-class value (see IsValid method in internal/ingress/annotations/class/main.go ), otherwise the class annotation become required.

You can generate a self-signed certificate and private key with: $ openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout ${ KEY_FILE } -out ${ CERT_FILE } -subj \"/CN= ${ HOST } /O= ${ HOST } \" Then create the secret in the cluster via: kubectl create secret tls ${ CERT_NAME } --key ${ KEY_FILE } --cert ${ CERT_FILE } The resulting secret will be of type kubernetes.io/tls . Default SSL Certificate \u00b6 NGINX provides the option to configure a server as a catch-all with server_name for requests that do not match any of the configured server names. This configuration works without out-of-the-box for HTTP traffic. For HTTPS, a certificate is naturally required. For this reason the Ingress controller provides the flag --default-ssl-certificate . The secret referred to by this flag contains the default certificate to be used when accessing the catch-all server. If this flag is not provided NGINX will use a self-signed certificate. For instance, if you have a TLS secret foo-tls in the default namespace, add --default-ssl-certificate=default/foo-tls in the nginx-controller deployment. The default certificate will also be used for ingress tls: sections that do not have a secretName option. SSL Passthrough \u00b6 The --enable-ssl-passthrough flag enables the SSL Passthrough feature, which is disabled by default. This is required to enable passthrough backends in Ingress objects. Warning This feature is implemented by intercepting all traffic on the configured HTTPS port (default: 443) and handing it over to a local TCP proxy. This bypasses NGINX completely and introduces a non-negligible performance penalty. SSL Passthrough leverages SNI and reads the virtual domain from the TLS negotiation, which requires compatible clients. After a connection has been accepted by the TLS listener, it is handled by the controller itself and piped back and forth between the backend and the client. If there is no hostname matching the requested host name, the request is handed over to NGINX on the configured passthrough proxy port (default: 442), which proxies the request to the default backend. Note Unlike HTTP backends, traffic to Passthrough backends is sent to the clusterIP of the backing Service instead of individual Endpoints. HTTP Strict Transport Security \u00b6 HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is an opt-in security enhancement specified through the use of a special response header. Once a supported browser receives this header that browser will prevent any communications from being sent over HTTP to the specified domain and will instead send all communications over HTTPS. HSTS is enabled by default. To disable this behavior use hsts: \"false\" in the configuration ConfigMap . Server-side HTTPS enforcement through redirect \u00b6 By default the controller redirects HTTP clients to the HTTPS port 443 using a 308 Permanent Redirect response if TLS is enabled for that Ingress. This can be disabled globally using ssl-redirect: \"false\" in the NGINX config map , or per-Ingress with the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: \"false\" annotation in the particular resource. Tip When using SSL offloading outside of cluster (e.g. AWS ELB) it may be useful to enforce a redirect to HTTPS even when there is no TLS certificate available. This can be achieved by using the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/force-ssl-redirect: \"true\" annotation in the particular resource. Automated Certificate Management with Kube-Lego \u00b6 Tip Kube-Lego has reached end-of-life and is being replaced by cert-manager . Kube-Lego automatically requests missing or expired certificates from Let's Encrypt by monitoring ingress resources and their referenced secrets. To enable this for an ingress resource you have to add an annotation: kubectl annotate ing ingress-demo kubernetes.io/tls-acme=\"true\" To setup Kube-Lego you can take a look at this full example . The first version to fully support Kube-Lego is Nginx Ingress controller 0.8. Default TLS Version and Ciphers \u00b6 To provide the most secure baseline configuration possible, nginx-ingress defaults to using TLS 1.2 and 1.3 only, with a secure set of TLS ciphers . Legacy TLS \u00b6 The default configuration, though secure, does not support some older browsers and operating systems. For instance, TLS 1.1+ is only enabled by default from Android 5.0 on. At the time of writing, May 2018, approximately 15% of Android devices are not compatible with nginx-ingress's default configuration. To change this default behavior, use a ConfigMap .

number of requests to a different service than the production service. The canary annotation enables the Ingress spec to act as an alternative service for requests to route to depending on the rules applied. The following annotations to configure canary can be enabled after nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/canary: \"true\" is set: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/canary-by-header : The header to use for notifying the Ingress to route the request to the service specified in the Canary Ingress. When the request header is set to always , it will be routed to the canary. When the header is set to never , it will never be routed to the canary. For any other value, the header will be ignored and the request compared against the other canary rules by precedence. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/canary-by-header-value : The header value to match for notifying the Ingress to route the request to the service specified in the Canary Ingress. When the request header is set to this value, it will be routed to the canary. For any other header value, the header will be ignored and the request compared against the other canary rules by precedence. This annotation has to be used together with . The annotation is an extension of the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/canary-by-header to allow customizing the header value instead of using hardcoded values. It doesn't have any effect if the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/canary-by-header annotation is not defined. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/canary-by-header-pattern : This works the same way as canary-by-header-value except it does PCRE Regex matching. Note that when canary-by-header-value is set this annotation will be ignored. When the given Regex causes error during request processing, the request will be considered as not matching. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/canary-by-cookie : The cookie to use for notifying the Ingress to route the request to the service specified in the Canary Ingress. When the cookie value is set to always , it will be routed to the canary. When the cookie is set to never , it will never be routed to the canary. For any other value, the cookie will be ignored and the request compared against the other canary rules by precedence. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/canary-weight : The integer based (0 - 100) percent of random requests that should be routed to the service specified in the canary Ingress. A weight of 0 implies that no requests will be sent to the service in the Canary ingress by this canary rule. A weight of 100 means implies all requests will be sent to the alternative service specified in the Ingress. Canary rules are evaluated in order of precedence. Precedence is as follows: canary-by-header -> canary-by-cookie -> canary-weight Note that when you mark an ingress as canary, then all the other non-canary annotations will be ignored (inherited from the corresponding main ingress) except nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/load-balance and nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/upstream-hash-by . Known Limitations Currently a maximum of one canary ingress can be applied per Ingress rule. Rewrite \u00b6 In some scenarios the exposed URL in the backend service differs from the specified path in the Ingress rule. Without a rewrite any request will return 404. Set the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target to the path expected by the service. If the Application Root is exposed in a different path and needs to be redirected, set the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/app-root to redirect requests for / . Example Please check the rewrite example. Session Affinity \u00b6 The annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/affinity enables and sets the affinity type in all Upstreams of an Ingress. This way, a request will always be directed to the same upstream server. The only affinity type available for NGINX is cookie . The annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/affinity-mode defines the stickyness of a session. Setting this to balanced (default) will redistribute some sessions if a deployment gets scaled up, therefore rebalancing the load on the servers. Setting this to persistent will not rebalance sessions to new servers, therefore providing maximum stickyness. Attention If more than one Ingress is defined for a host and at least one Ingress uses nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/affinity: cookie , then only paths on the Ingress using nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/affinity will use session cookie affinity. All paths defined on other Ingresses for the host will be load balanced through the random selection of a backend server. Example Please check the affinity example. Cookie affinity \u00b6 If you use the cookie affinity type you can also specify the name of the cookie that will be used to route the requests with the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/session-cookie-name . The default is to create a cookie named 'INGRESSCOOKIE'. The NGINX annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/session-cookie-path defines the path that will be set on the cookie. This is optional unless the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/use-regex is set to true; Session cookie paths do not support regex. Use nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/session-cookie-samesite to apply a SameSite attribute to the sticky cookie. Browser accepted values are None , Lax , and Strict . Some browsers reject cookies with SameSite=None , including those created before the SameSite=None specification (e.g. Chrome 5X). Other browsers mistakenly treat SameSite=None cookies as SameSite=Strict (e.g. Safari running on OSX 14). To omit SameSite=None from browsers with these incompatibilities, add the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/session-cookie-conditional-samesite-none: \"true\" . Authentication \u00b6 It is possible to add authentication by adding additional annotations in the Ingress rule. The source of the authentication is a secret that contains usernames and passwords. The annotations are: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-type: [basic|digest] Indicates the HTTP Authentication Type: Basic or Digest Access Authentication . nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-secret: secretName The name of the Secret that contains the usernames and passwords which are granted access to the path s defined in the Ingress rules. This annotation also accepts the alternative form \"namespace/secretName\", in which case the Secret lookup is performed in the referenced namespace instead of the Ingress namespace. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-secret-type: [auth-file|auth-map] The auth-secret can have two forms: auth-file - default, an htpasswd file in the key auth within the secret auth-map - the keys of the secret are the usernames, and the values are the hashed passwords nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-realm: \"realm string\" Example Please check the auth example. Custom NGINX upstream hashing \u00b6 NGINX supports load balancing by client-server mapping based on consistent hashing for a given key. The key can contain text, variables or any combination thereof. This feature allows for request stickiness other than client IP or cookies. The ketama consistent hashing method will be used which ensures only a few keys would be remapped to different servers on upstream group changes. There is a special mode of upstream hashing called subset. In this mode, upstream servers are grouped into subsets, and stickiness works by mapping keys to a subset instead of individual upstream servers. Specific server is chosen uniformly at random from the selected sticky subset. It provides a balance between stickiness and load distribution. To enable consistent hashing for a backend: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/upstream-hash-by : the nginx variable, text value or any combination thereof to use for consistent hashing. For example: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/upstream-hash-by: \"$request_uri\" or nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/upstream-hash-by: \"$request_uri$host\" or nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/upstream-hash-by: \"${request_uri}-text-value\" to consistently hash upstream requests by the current request URI. \"subset\" hashing can be enabled setting nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/upstream-hash-by-subset : \"true\". This maps requests to subset of nodes instead of a single one. upstream-hash-by-subset-size determines the size of each subset (default 3). Please check the chashsubset example. Custom NGINX load balancing \u00b6 This is similar to load-balance in ConfigMap , but configures load balancing algorithm per ingress. Note that nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/upstream-hash-by takes preference over this. If this and nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/upstream-hash-by are not set then we fallback to using globally configured load balancing algorithm. Custom NGINX upstream vhost \u00b6 This configuration setting allows you to control the value for host in the following statement: proxy_set_header Host $host , which forms part of the location block. This is useful if you need to call the upstream server by something other than $host . Client Certificate Authentication \u00b6 It is possible to enable Client Certificate Authentication using additional annotations in Ingress Rule. Client Certificate Authentication is applied per host and it is not possible to specify rules that differ for individual paths. The annotations are: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-tls-secret: secretName : The name of the Secret that contains the full Certificate Authority chain ca.crt that is enabled to authenticate against this Ingress. This annotation also accepts the alternative form \"namespace/secretName\", in which case the Secret lookup is performed in the referenced namespace instead of the Ingress namespace. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-tls-verify-depth : The validation depth between the provided client certificate and the Certification Authority chain. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-tls-verify-client : Enables verification of client certificates. Possible values are: off : Don't request client certificates and don't do client certificate verification. (default) on : Request a client certificate that must be signed by a certificate that is included in the secret key ca.crt of the secret specified by nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-tls-secret: secretName . Failed certificate verification will result in a status code 400 (Bad Request). optional : Do optional client certificate validation against the CAs from auth-tls-secret . The request fails with status code 400 (Bad Request) when a certificate is provided that is not signed by the CA. When no or an otherwise invalid certificate is provided, the request does not fail, but instead the verification result is sent to the upstream service. optional_no_ca : Do optional client certificate validation, but do not fail the request when the client certificate is not signed by the CAs from auth-tls-secret . Certificate verification result is sent to the usptream service. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-tls-error-page : The URL/Page that user should be redirected in case of a Certificate Authentication Error nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-tls-pass-certificate-to-upstream : Indicates if the received certificates should be passed or not to the upstream server in the header ssl-client-cert . Possible values are \"true\" or \"false\" (default). The following headers are sent to the upstream service according to the auth-tls-* annotations: ssl-client-issuer-dn : The issuer information of the client certificate. Example: \"CN=My CA\" ssl-client-subject-dn : The subject information of the client certificate. Example: \"CN=My Client\" ssl-client-verify : The result of the client verification. Possible values: \"SUCCESS\", \"FAILED: \" ssl-client-cert : The full client certificate in PEM format. Will only be sent when nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-tls-pass-certificate-to-upstream is set to \"true\". Example: -----BEGIN%20CERTIFICATE-----%0A...---END%20CERTIFICATE-----%0A Example Please check the client-certs example. Attention TLS with Client Authentication is not possible in Cloudflare and might result in unexpected behavior. Cloudflare only allows Authenticated Origin Pulls and is required to use their own certificate: https://blog.cloudflare.com/protecting-the-origin-with-tls-authenticated-origin-pulls/ Only Authenticated Origin Pulls are allowed and can be configured by following their tutorial: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/204494148-Setting-up-NGINX-to-use-TLS-Authenticated-Origin-Pulls Backend Certificate Authentication \u00b6 It is possible to authenticate to a proxied HTTPS backend with certificate using additional annotations in Ingress Rule. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-ssl-secret: secretName : Specifies a Secret with the certificate tls.crt , key tls.key in PEM format used for authentication to a proxied HTTPS server. It should also contain trusted CA certificates ca.crt in PEM format used to verify the certificate of the proxied HTTPS server. This annotation also accepts the alternative form \"namespace/secretName\", in which case the Secret lookup is performed in the referenced namespace instead of the Ingress namespace. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-ssl-verify : Enables or disables verification of the proxied HTTPS server certificate. (default: off) nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-ssl-verify-depth : Sets the verification depth in the proxied HTTPS server certificates chain. (default: 1) nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-ssl-ciphers : Specifies the enabled ciphers for requests to a proxied HTTPS server. The ciphers are specified in the format understood by the OpenSSL library. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-ssl-name : Allows to set proxy_ssl_name . This allows overriding the server name used to verify the certificate of the proxied HTTPS server. This value is also passed through SNI when a connection is established to the proxied HTTPS server. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-ssl-protocols : Enables the specified protocols for requests to a proxied HTTPS server. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-ssl-server-name : Enables passing of the server name through TLS Server Name Indication extension (SNI, RFC 6066) when establishing a connection with the proxied HTTPS server. Configuration snippet \u00b6 Using this annotation you can add additional configuration to the NGINX location. For example: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippet : | more_set_headers \"Request-Id: $req_id\"; Custom HTTP Errors \u00b6 Like the custom-http-errors value in the ConfigMap, this annotation will set NGINX proxy-intercept-errors , but only for the NGINX location associated with this ingress. If a default backend annotation is specified on the ingress, the errors will be routed to that annotation's default backend service (instead of the global default backend). Different ingresses can specify different sets of error codes. Even if multiple ingress objects share the same hostname, this annotation can be used to intercept different error codes for each ingress (for example, different error codes to be intercepted for different paths on the same hostname, if each path is on a different ingress). If custom-http-errors is also specified globally, the error values specified in this annotation will override the global value for the given ingress' hostname and path. Example usage: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/custom-http-errors: \"404,415\" Default Backend \u00b6 This annotation is of the form nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/default-backend: <svc name> to specify a custom default backend. This <svc name> is a reference to a service inside of the same namespace in which you are applying this annotation. This annotation overrides the global default backend. This service will be handle the response when the service in the Ingress rule does not have active endpoints. It will also handle the error responses if both this annotation and the custom-http-errors annotation is set. Enable CORS \u00b6 To enable Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) in an Ingress rule, add the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/enable-cors: \"true\" . This will add a section in the server location enabling this functionality. CORS can be controlled with the following annotations: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-methods controls which methods are accepted. This is a multi-valued field, separated by ',' and accepts only letters (upper and lower case). Default: GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, PATCH, OPTIONS Example: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-methods: \"PUT, GET, POST, OPTIONS\" nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-headers controls which headers are accepted. This is a multi-valued field, separated by ',' and accepts letters, numbers, _ and -. Default: DNT,X-CustomHeader,Keep-Alive,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type,Authorization Example: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-headers: \"X-Forwarded-For, X-app123-XPTO\" nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-expose-headers controls which headers are exposed to response. This is a multi-valued field, separated by ',' and accepts letters, numbers, _, - and *. Default: empty Example: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-expose-headers: \"*, X-CustomResponseHeader\" nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-origin controls what's the accepted Origin for CORS. This is a single field value, with the following format: http(s)://origin-site.com or http(s)://origin-site.com:port Default: * Example: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-origin: \"https://origin-site.com:4443\" nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-credentials controls if credentials can be passed during CORS operations. Default: true Example: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-allow-credentials: \"false\" nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-max-age controls how long preflight requests can be cached. Default: 1728000 Example: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/cors-max-age: 600 Note For more information please see https://enable-cors.org HTTP2 Push Preload. \u00b6 Enables automatic conversion of preload links specified in the \u201cLink\u201d response header fields into push requests. Example nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/http2-push-preload: \"true\" Server Alias \u00b6 Allows the definition of one or more aliases in the server definition of the NGINX configuration using the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/server-alias: \"<alias 1>,<alias 2>\" . This will create a server with the same configuration, but adding new values to the server_name directive. Note A server-alias name cannot conflict with the hostname of an existing server. If it does, the server-alias annotation will be ignored. If a server-alias is created and later a new server with the same hostname is created, the new server configuration will take place over the alias configuration. For more information please see the server_name documentation . Server snippet \u00b6 Using the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/server-snippet it is possible to add custom configuration in the server configuration block. apiVersion : networking.k8s.io/v1beta1 kind : Ingress metadata : annotations : nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/server-snippet : | set $agentflag 0; if ($http_user_agent ~* \"(Mobile)\" ){ set $agentflag 1; } if ( $agentflag = 1 ) { return 301 https://m.example.com; } Attention This annotation can be used only once per host. Client Body Buffer Size \u00b6 Sets buffer size for reading client request body per location. In case the request body is larger than the buffer, the whole body or only its part is written to a temporary file. By default, buffer size is equal to two memory pages. This is 8K on x86, other 32-bit platforms, and x86-64. It is usually 16K on other 64-bit platforms. This annotation is applied to each location provided in the ingress rule. Note The annotation value must be given in a format understood by Nginx. Example nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/client-body-buffer-size: \"1000\" # 1000 bytes nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/client-body-buffer-size: 1k # 1 kilobyte nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/client-body-buffer-size: 1K # 1 kilobyte nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/client-body-buffer-size: 1m # 1 megabyte nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/client-body-buffer-size: 1M # 1 megabyte For more information please see http://nginx.org External Authentication \u00b6 To use an existing service that provides authentication the Ingress rule can be annotated with nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-url to indicate the URL where the HTTP request should be sent. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-url : \"URL to the authentication service\" Additionally it is possible to set: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-method : <Method> to specify the HTTP method to use. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-signin : <SignIn_URL> to specify the location of the error page. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-response-headers : <Response_Header_1, ..., Response_Header_n> to specify headers to pass to backend once authentication request completes. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-proxy-set-headers : <ConfigMap> the name of a ConfigMap that specifies headers to pass to the authentication service nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-request-redirect : <Request_Redirect_URL> to specify the X-Auth-Request-Redirect header value. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-cache-key : <Cache_Key> this enables caching for auth requests. specify a lookup key for auth responses. e.g. $remote_user$http_authorization . Each server and location has it's own keyspace. Hence a cached response is only valid on a per-server and per-location basis. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-cache-duration : <Cache_duration> to specify a caching time for auth responses based on their response codes, e.g. 200 202 30m . See proxy_cache_valid for details. You may specify multiple, comma-separated values: 200 202 10m, 401 5m . defaults to 200 202 401 5m . nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-snippet : <Auth_Snippet> to specify a custom snippet to use with external authentication, e.g. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-url : http://foo.com/external-auth nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-snippet : | proxy_set_header Foo-Header 42; Note: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-snippet is an optional annotation. However, it may only be used in conjunction with nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-url and will be ignored if nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-url is not set Example Please check the external-auth example. Global External Authentication \u00b6 By default the controller redirects all requests to an existing service that provides authentication if global-auth-url is set in the NGINX ConfigMap. If you want to disable this behavior for that ingress, you can use enable-global-auth: \"false\" in the NGINX ConfigMap. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/enable-global-auth : indicates if GlobalExternalAuth configuration should be applied or not to this Ingress rule. Default values is set to \"true\" . Note For more information please see global-auth-url . Rate limiting \u00b6 These annotations define limits on connections and transmission rates. These can be used to mitigate DDoS Attacks . nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/limit-connections : number of concurrent connections allowed from a single IP address. A 503 error is returned when exceeding this limit. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/limit-rps : number of requests accepted from a given IP each second. The burst limit is set to this limit multiplied by the burst multiplier, the default multiplier is 5. When clients exceed this limit, limit-req-status-code default: 503 is returned. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/limit-rpm : number of requests accepted from a given IP each minute. The burst limit is set to this limit multiplied by the burst multiplier, the default multiplier is 5. When clients exceed this limit, limit-req-status-code default: 503 is returned. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/limit-burst-multiplier : multiplier of the limit rate for burst size. The default burst multiplier is 5, this annotation override the default multiplier. When clients exceed this limit, limit-req-status-code default: 503 is returned. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/limit-rate-after : initial number of kilobytes after which the further transmission of a response to a given connection will be rate limited. This feature must be used with proxy-buffering enabled. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/limit-rate : number of kilobytes per second allowed to send to a given connection. The zero value disables rate limiting. This feature must be used with proxy-buffering enabled. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/limit-whitelist : client IP source ranges to be excluded from rate-limiting. The value is a comma separated list of CIDRs. If you specify multiple annotations in a single Ingress rule, limits are applied in the order limit-connections , limit-rpm , limit-rps . To configure settings globally for all Ingress rules, the limit-rate-after and limit-rate values may be set in the NGINX ConfigMap . The value set in an Ingress annotation will override the global setting. The client IP address will be set based on the use of PROXY protocol or from the X-Forwarded-For header value when use-forwarded-headers is enabled. Permanent Redirect \u00b6 This annotation allows to return a permanent redirect instead of sending data to the upstream. For example nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/permanent-redirect: https://www.google.com would redirect everything to Google. Permanent Redirect Code \u00b6 This annotation allows you to modify the status code used for permanent redirects. For example nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/permanent-redirect-code: '308' would return your permanent-redirect with a 308. Temporal Redirect \u00b6 This annotation allows you to return a temporal redirect (Return Code 302) instead of sending data to the upstream. For example nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/temporal-redirect: https://www.google.com would redirect everything to Google with a Return Code of 302 (Moved Temporarily) SSL Passthrough \u00b6 The annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-passthrough instructs the controller to send TLS connections directly to the backend instead of letting NGINX decrypt the communication. See also TLS/HTTPS in the User guide. Note SSL Passthrough is disabled by default and requires starting the controller with the --enable-ssl-passthrough flag. Attention Because SSL Passthrough works on layer 4 of the OSI model (TCP) and not on the layer 7 (HTTP), using SSL Passthrough invalidates all the other annotations set on an Ingress object. Service Upstream \u00b6 By default the NGINX ingress controller uses a list of all endpoints (Pod IP/port) in the NGINX upstream configuration. The nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/service-upstream annotation disables that behavior and instead uses a single upstream in NGINX, the service's Cluster IP and port. This can be desirable for things like zero-downtime deployments as it reduces the need to reload NGINX configuration when Pods come up and down. See issue #257 . Known Issues \u00b6 If the service-upstream annotation is specified the following things should be taken into consideration: Sticky Sessions will not work as only round-robin load balancing is supported. The proxy_next_upstream directive will not have any effect meaning on error the request will not be dispatched to another upstream. Server-side HTTPS enforcement through redirect \u00b6 By default the controller redirects (308) to HTTPS if TLS is enabled for that ingress. If you want to disable this behavior globally, you can use ssl-redirect: \"false\" in the NGINX ConfigMap . To configure this feature for specific ingress resources, you can use the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: \"false\" annotation in the particular resource. When using SSL offloading outside of cluster (e.g. AWS ELB) it may be useful to enforce a redirect to HTTPS even when there is no TLS certificate available. This can be achieved by using the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/force-ssl-redirect: \"true\" annotation in the particular resource. Redirect from/to www \u00b6 In some scenarios is required to redirect from www.domain.com to domain.com or vice versa. To enable this feature use the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/from-to-www-redirect: \"true\" Attention If at some point a new Ingress is created with a host equal to one of the options (like domain.com ) the annotation will be omitted. Attention For HTTPS to HTTPS redirects is mandatory the SSL Certificate defined in the Secret, located in the TLS section of Ingress, contains both FQDN in the common name of the certificate. Whitelist source range \u00b6 You can specify allowed client IP source ranges through the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/whitelist-source-range annotation. The value is a comma separated list of CIDRs , e.g. 10.0.0.0/24,172.10.0.1 . To configure this setting globally for all Ingress rules, the whitelist-source-range value may be set in the NGINX ConfigMap . Note Adding an annotation to an Ingress rule overrides any global restriction. Custom timeouts \u00b6 Using the configuration configmap it is possible to set the default global timeout for connections to the upstream servers. In some scenarios is required to have different values. To allow this we provide annotations that allows this customization: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-connect-timeout nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-send-timeout nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-read-timeout nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-next-upstream nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-next-upstream-timeout nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-next-upstream-tries nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-request-buffering Proxy redirect \u00b6 With the annotations nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-redirect-from and nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-redirect-to it is possible to set the text that should be changed in the Location and Refresh header fields of a proxied server response Setting \"off\" or \"default\" in the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-redirect-from disables nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-redirect-to , otherwise, both annotations must be used in unison. Note that each annotation must be a string without spaces. By default the value of each annotation is \"off\". Custom max body size \u00b6 For NGINX, an 413 error will be returned to the client when the size in a request exceeds the maximum allowed size of the client request body. This size can be configured by the parameter client_max_body_size . To configure this setting globally for all Ingress rules, the proxy-body-size value may be set in the NGINX ConfigMap . To use custom values in an Ingress rule define these annotation: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size : 8m Proxy cookie domain \u00b6 Sets a text that should be changed in the domain attribute of the \"Set-Cookie\" header fields of a proxied server response. To configure this setting globally for all Ingress rules, the proxy-cookie-domain value may be set in the NGINX ConfigMap . Proxy cookie path \u00b6 Sets a text that should be changed in the path attribute of the \"Set-Cookie\" header fields of a proxied server response. To configure this setting globally for all Ingress rules, the proxy-cookie-path value may be set in the NGINX ConfigMap . Proxy buffering \u00b6 Enable or disable proxy buffering proxy_buffering . By default proxy buffering is disabled in the NGINX config. To configure this setting globally for all Ingress rules, the proxy-buffering value may be set in the NGINX ConfigMap . To use custom values in an Ingress rule define these annotation: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-buffering : \"on\" Proxy buffers Number \u00b6 Sets the number of the buffers in proxy_buffers used for reading the first part of the response received from the proxied server. By default proxy buffers number is set as 4 To configure this setting globally, set proxy-buffers-number in NGINX ConfigMap . To use custom values in an Ingress rule, define this annotation: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-buffers-number : \"4\" Proxy buffer size \u00b6 Sets the size of the buffer proxy_buffer_size used for reading the first part of the response received from the proxied server. By default proxy buffer size is set as \"4k\" To configure this setting globally, set proxy-buffer-size in NGINX ConfigMap . To use custom values in an Ingress rule, define this annotation: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-buffer-size : \"8k\" Proxy max temp file size \u00b6 When buffering of responses from the proxied server is enabled, and the whole response does not fit into the buffers set by the proxy_buffer_size and proxy_buffers directives, a part of the response can be saved to a temporary file. This directive sets the maximum size of the temporary file setting the proxy_max_temp_file_size . The size of data written to the temporary file at a time is set by the proxy_temp_file_write_size directive. The zero value disables buffering of responses to temporary files. To use custom values in an Ingress rule, define this annotation: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-max-temp-file-size : \"1024m\" Proxy HTTP version \u00b6 Using this annotation sets the proxy_http_version that the Nginx reverse proxy will use to communicate with the backend. By default this is set to \"1.1\". nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-http-version : \"1.0\" SSL ciphers \u00b6 Specifies the enabled ciphers . Using this annotation will set the ssl_ciphers directive at the server level. This configuration is active for all the paths in the host. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-ciphers : \"ALL:!aNULL:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP\" The following annotation will set the ssl_prefer_server_ciphers directive at the server level. This configuration specifies that server ciphers should be preferred over client ciphers when using the SSLv3 and TLS protocols. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-prefer-server-ciphers : \"true\" Connection proxy header \u00b6 Using this annotation will override the default connection header set by NGINX. To use custom values in an Ingress rule, define the annotation: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/connection-proxy-header : \"keep-alive\" Enable Access Log \u00b6 Access logs are enabled by default, but in some scenarios access logs might be required to be disabled for a given ingress. To do this, use the annotation: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/enable-access-log : \"false\" Enable Rewrite Log \u00b6 Rewrite logs are not enabled by default. In some scenarios it could be required to enable NGINX rewrite logs. Note that rewrite logs are sent to the error_log file at the notice level. To enable this feature use the annotation: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/enable-rewrite-log : \"true\" Enable Opentracing \u00b6 Opentracing can be enabled or disabled globally through the ConfigMap but this will sometimes need to be overridden to enable it or disable it for a specific ingress (e.g. to turn off tracing of external health check endpoints) nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/enable-opentracing : \"true\" X-Forwarded-Prefix Header \u00b6 To add the non-standard X-Forwarded-Prefix header to the upstream request with a string value, the following annotation can be used: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/x-forwarded-prefix : \"/path\" ModSecurity \u00b6 ModSecurity is an OpenSource Web Application firewall. It can be enabled for a particular set of ingress locations. The ModSecurity module must first be enabled by enabling ModSecurity in the ConfigMap . Note this will enable ModSecurity for all paths, and each path must be disabled manually.

Deploy Telegraf as a sidecar proxy to the Ingress controller configured to listen UDP with the socket listener input and to write using anyone of the outputs plugins like InfluxDB, Apache Kafka, Prometheus, etc.. (recommended) It's important to remember that there's no DNS resolver at this stage so you will have to configure an ip address to nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/influxdb-host . If you deploy Influx or Telegraf as sidecar (another container in the same pod) this becomes straightforward since you can directly use 127.0.0.1 . Backend Protocol \u00b6 Using backend-protocol annotations is possible to indicate how NGINX should communicate with the backend service.

Additionally, if the rewrite-target annotation is used on any Ingress for a given host, then the case insensitive regular expression location modifier will be enforced on ALL paths for a given host regardless of what Ingress they are defined on. Please read about ingress path matching before using this modifier. Satisfy \u00b6 By default, a request would need to satisfy all authentication requirements in order to be allowed. By using this annotation, requests that satisfy either any or all authentication requirements are allowed, based on the configuration value. nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/satisfy : \"any\" Mirror \u00b6 Enables a request to be mirrored to a mirror backend. Responses by mirror backends are ignored. This feature is useful, to see how requests will react in \"test\" backends. The mirror backend can be set by applying: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/mirror-target : https://test.env.com/$request_uri By default the request-body is sent to the mirror backend, but can be turned off by applying: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/mirror-request-body : \"off\" Note: The mirror directive will be applied to all paths within the ingress resource.

A weight of 0 implies that no requests will be sent to the service in the Canary ingress by this canary rule. A weight of 100 means implies all requests will be sent to the alternative service specified in the Ingress. Canary rules are evaluated in order of precedence.
