Configuring Nginx Ingress Controller for Production-Ready Kubernetes on Azure AKS Hybrid
Notes from the Field: Nginx Ingress Controller for Production on AKS Hybrid
Introduction
In this blog post, I will discuss using the Nginx Ingress Controller in an AKS Hybrid environment. I will explain how to configure the Kubernetes cluster to use Nginx Ingress Controller and what the benefits are.
What is an Ingress Controller?
An Ingress Controller is a resource in Kubernetes that manages external access to services in a Kubernetes cluster. It is responsible for routing external requests to the appropriate services inside the cluster. The Ingress Controller acts as a reverse proxy, taking requests from outside the cluster and routing them to the proper service or pod within the cluster.
What is Nginx Ingress Controller?
Nginx Ingress Controller is an open source project that provides an Ingress Controller for Kubernetes. It is built on top of the Nginx web server and provides several features for managing external access to the services in a Kubernetes cluster. It provides a high availability option for external access and supports multiple types of routing, such as path-based and host-based routing. It also supports TLS termination, URL rewrites, rate limiting, and more.
Why Use Nginx Ingress Controller?
Nginx Ingress Controller is a great option for managing external access to services in a Kubernetes cluster. It provides a high availability solution that can be used in both production and development environments. It also provides features such as path-based routing, TLS termination, URL rewrites, rate limiting, and more. It is also easy to configure and maintain.
How to Configure Nginx Ingress Controller in an AKS Hybrid Environment
Configuring Nginx Ingress Controller in an AKS Hybrid environment is a straight-forward process. First, create a Kubernetes cluster in Azure. Then, install Nginx Ingress Controller using the Helm chart. Finally, configure the Ingress Controller using the Nginx Ingress Controller configuration file.
Conclusion
Nginx Ingress Controller is a great option for managing external access to services in a Kubernetes cluster. It provides a high availability solution that can be used in both production and development environments. It also provides features such as path-based routing, TLS termination, URL rewrites, rate limiting, and more. Configuring Nginx Ingress Controller in an AKS Hybrid environment is a straight-forward process.
