# Welcome

This is the documentation for the NGINX Ingress Controller.

It is built around the [Kubernetes Ingress resource](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/ingress/), using a [ConfigMap](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-pod-configmap/#understanding-configmaps-and-pods) to store the NGINX configuration.

Learn more about using Ingress on [k8s.io](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/ingress/).

## Getting Started

See [Deployment](./deploy/) for a whirlwind tour that will get you started.
