Step 1: Add the repo of the ingress-nginx repository to your helm config:
helm repo add ingress-nginx https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx helm repo update
Step 2: Install the Nginx ingress controller in the ingress-basic-pscloudapp namespace created in the previous step.
-
The static public IP address created in the earlier step will be assigned to the ingress controller using the --set controller.service.loadBalancerIP parameter.
-
For added redundancy, two replicas of the Nginx ingress controllers are deployed with the --set controller.replicaCount parameter.
-
The ingress controller also needs to be scheduled on a Linux node. Windows Server nodes shouldn't run the ingress controller. A node selector is specified using the --set nodeSelector parameter to tell the Kubernetes scheduler to run the Nginx ingress controller on a Linux-based node.
helm install nginx-ingress ingress-nginx/ingress-nginx \
--namespace ingress-basic-pscloudapp \
--set controller.replicaCount=2 \
--set controller.nodeSelector."beta\.kubernetes\.io/os"=linux \
--set defaultBackend.nodeSelector."beta\.kubernetes\.io/os"=linux \
--set controller.admissionWebhooks.patch.nodeSelector."beta\.kubernetes\.io/os"=linux \
--set controller.service.loadBalancerIP="52.143.79.245"
Step 3: View the installed Nginx ingress controller.
kubectl --namespace ingress-basic-pscloudapp get services -o wide -w nginx-ingress-ingress-nginx-controller
A Kubernetes load balancer service is created for the Nginx ingress controller; and the static public IP address is assigned.
