Working with the OCI Native Ingress Controller as a Cluster Add-on

Find out how to set up the OCI native ingress controller as a cluster add-on, to implement the rules and configuration options defined in a Kubernetes ingress resource to load balance and route incoming traffic to service pods running on worker nodes in a cluster.

Using the OCI native ingress controller as a cluster add-on rather than as a standalone program gives simplifies configuration and ongoing maintenance. You can more simply:

  • Enable or disable the OCI native ingress controller.
  • Opt into, and out of, automatic updates by Oracle.
  • Select OCI native ingress controller add-on versions.
  • Manage add-on specific customizations using approved key/value pair configuration arguments.

Note that if the OCI native ingress controller has already been deployed on the cluster as a standalone program, do not deploy the OCI native ingress controller cluster add-on on the cluster .
