NginxIngress Introduction
Nginx can be used as a reverse proxy, load balancer, and for HTTP caching.
NginxIngress is an Ingress controller for Kubernetes that uses Nginx as a reverse proxy and load balancer. You can deploy and use NginxIngress add-on in the cluster. TKE provides productization capabilities to help you install and use NginxIngress in the cluster.
NginxIngress Concepts
NginxIngress add-on: You can use NginxIngress in TKE through NginxIngress add-on. Install and deploy NginxIngress add-on with one click on the Add-on management page.
NginxIngress instance: You can deploy multiple NginxIngress instances in a cluster (for example, one for the public network and one for the private network). Each instance corresponds to a CRD resource in Kubernetes. When a NginxIngress instance is created, Nginx-ingress-controller, service, configmap and other Kubernetes resources will be automatically created in the cluster.
Nginx-ingress-controller: The actual Nginx load. The controller will watch the kubernetes ingress object and update the changes in the cluster. The forwarding configuration of Nginx load is the nginx.conf file.
