+### Disabling NGINX ingress controller
+
+Setting the annotation `kubernetes.io/ingress.class` to any value other than "nginx" or the empty string, will force the NGINX Ingress controller to ignore your Ingress. Do this if you wish to use one of the other Ingress controllers at the same time as the NGINX controller.
