Feature state:Kubernetes Ingress Controllers support
Managed Ingress Controllers
Avisi Cloud Kubernetes offers a managed ingress controller feature, enabling easy installation and configuration of a Kubernetes ingress controller within your cluster. This feature ensures high availability and security for your ingress traffic, with pre-configured load balancer settings and proxy hardening.
Enabling Managed Ingress Controllers
To enable the managed ingress controller feature for your Avisi Cloud Kubernetes cluster, follow these steps:
- Navigate to your cluster’s details page in the Console.
- Go to the Networking tab.
- Enable the ingress controller.
Once enabled, the ingress controller will be operational within a few minutes. Avisi Cloud will handle updates, eliminating the need for you to manage upgrades or security patches.
Please note that to use the managed ingress controller feature, your cluster must have at least one node pool configured. Additionally, this feature will provision a load balancer within your cloud environment using a Kubernetes Service.
Disabling Managed Ingress Controllers
Please be aware that disabling the ingress controller add-on for a cluster will result in the removal of the associated ingress controller LoadBalancer service. Consequently, if this LoadBalancer service was assigned an IP address by the cloud provider, that IP address will also be released upon removal.
Supported Ingress Controllers
Avisi Cloud Kubernetes currently supports two ingress controllers:
Both controllers are widely used, with extensive documentation and large communities.
Conclusion
Enabling a managed ingress controller in Avisi Cloud Kubernetes ensures that your cluster’s ingress traffic is secure and highly available. By automating load balancer configuration and pre-configuring security settings, Avisi Cloud simplifies the setup and management of your ingress traffic, allowing you to focus on your applications without concern for the underlying infrastructure.
