NGINX Ingress controller configuration ConfigMap
proxy-body-size: Sets the maximum allowed size of the client request body.
See NGINX client_max_body_size.
custom-http-errors: Enables which HTTP codes should be passed for processing with the error_page directive.
Setting at least one code also enables proxy_intercept_errors which are required to process error_page.
Example usage: custom-http-errors: 404,415
disable-access-log: Disables the Access Log from the entire Ingress Controller. This is 'false' by default.
access-log-path: Access log path. Goes to '/var/log/nginx/access.log' by default. http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_log_module.html#access_log
error-log-path: Error log path. Goes to '/var/log/nginx/error.log' by default. http://nginx.org/en/docs/ngx_core_module.html#error_log
enable-modsecurity: enables the modsecurity module for NGINX
By default this is disabled.
enable-owasp-modsecurity-crs: enables the OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set (CRS)
By default this is disabled.
disable-ipv6: Disable listening on IPV6.
By default this is disabled.

Responses with the "text/html" type are always compressed if use-gzip
is enabled.
hsts: Enables or disables the header HSTS in servers running SSL.
HTTP Strict Transport Security (often abbreviated as HSTS) is a security feature (HTTP header) that tell browsers that it should only be communicated with using HTTPS, instead of using HTTP. It provides protection against protocol downgrade attacks and cookie theft. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/HTTP_strict_transport_security https://blog.qualys.com/securitylabs/2016/03/28/the-importance-of-a-proper-http-strict-transport-security-implementation-on-your-web-server

hsts-preload: Enables or disables the preload attribute in the HSTS feature (when it is enabled)
ignore-invalid-headers: set if header fields with invalid names should be ignored. This is 'true' by default.
keep-alive: Sets the time during which a keep-alive client connection will stay open on the server side.
The zero value disables keep-alive client connections. http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#keepalive_timeout
load-balance: Sets the algorithm to use for load balancing. The value can either be round_robin to
use the default round robin loadbalancer, least_conn to use the least connected method, or ip_hash to use a hash of the server for routing. The default is least_conn. http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/load_balancing.html.

proxy-cookie-domain: Sets a text that should be changed in the domain attribute of the “Set-Cookie” header fields of a proxied server response.
proxy-cookie-path: Sets a text that should be changed in the path attribute of the “Set-Cookie” header fields of a proxied server response.
proxy-read-timeout: Sets the timeout in seconds for reading a response from the proxied server. The timeout is set only between two successive read operations, not for the transmission of the whole response.
proxy-send-timeout: Sets the timeout in seconds for transmitting a request to the proxied server. The timeout is set only between two successive write operations, not for the transmission of the whole request.
proxy-next-upstream: Specifies in which cases a request should be passed to the next server.
proxy-request-buffering: Enables or disables buffering of a client request body.
retry-non-idempotent: Since 1.9.13 NGINX will not retry non-idempotent requests (POST, LOCK, PATCH) in case of an error in the upstream server.
The previous behavior can be restored using the value "true".
server-name-hash-bucket-size: Sets the size of the bucket for the server names hash tables.
http://nginx.org/en/docs/hash.html http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#server_names_hash_bucket_size

proxy-headers-hash-max-size: Sets the maximum size of the proxy headers hash tables.
http://nginx.org/en/docs/hash.html https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html#proxy_headers_hash_max_size
server-tokens: Send NGINX Server header in responses and display NGINX version in error pages. Enabled by default.
map-hash-bucket-size: Sets the bucket size for the map variables hash tables. The details of setting up hash tables are provided in a separate document.
ssl-buffer-size: Sets the size of the SSL buffer used for sending data.
The default of 4k helps NGINX to improve TLS Time To First Byte (TTTFB). https://www.igvita.com/2013/12/16/optimizing-nginx-tls-time-to-first-byte/
ssl-ciphers: Sets the ciphers list to enable. The ciphers are specified in the format understood by the OpenSSL library.
The default cipher list is:
ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256
.
The ordering of a ciphersuite is very important because it decides which algorithms are going to be selected in priority. The recommendation above prioritizes algorithms that provide perfect forward secrecy.
Please check the Mozilla SSL Configuration Generator.
ssl-dh-param: Sets the name of the secret that contains Diffie-Hellman key to help with "Perfect Forward Secrecy".

ssl-protocols: Sets the SSL protocols to use.
The default is: TLSv1.2
.
TLSv1 is enabled to allow old clients like:
If you don't need to support these clients please remove TLSv1
to improve security.
Please check the result of the configuration using https://ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html
or https://testssl.sh
.
ssl-redirect: Sets the global value of redirects (301) to HTTPS if the server has a TLS certificate (defined in an Ingress rule)

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssl_module.html#ssl_session_tickets
By default, a randomly generated key is used.
To create a ticket: openssl rand 80 | base64 -w0
ssl-session-timeout: Sets the time during which a client may reuse the session parameters stored in a cache.
upstream-max-fails: Sets the number of unsuccessful attempts to communicate with the server that should happen in the duration set by the fail_timeout
parameter to consider the server unavailable.
upstream-fail-timeout: Sets the time during which the specified number of unsuccessful attempts to communicate with the server should happen to consider the server unavailable.
use-gzip: Enables or disables compression of HTTP responses using the "gzip" module
The default mime type list to compress is: application/atom+xml application/javascript aplication/x-javascript application/json application/rss+xml application/vnd.ms-fontobject application/x-font-ttf application/x-web-app-manifest+json application/xhtml+xml application/xml font/opentype image/svg+xml image/x-icon text/css text/plain text/x-component
.
