Ingress NGINX Controller is a Kubernetes ingress controller that uses NGINX as a reverse proxy and load balancer to route external traffic to cluster services. The project has been officially retired, with best-effort maintenance ending in March 2026 and no further releases or security fixes afterward.
Use cases
- expose kubernetes services to external traffic
- route http traffic to pods in a kubernetes cluster
- load balance traffic across kubernetes services
- manage tls termination for kubernetes apps
- configure nginx-based ingress rules for a cluster
When to choose
- you already run ingress-nginx and need to keep existing deployments working until migration
- you need documentation or artifacts for a legacy ingress-nginx deployment
When to avoid
- you are starting a new kubernetes project - use a Gateway API implementation instead
- you need ongoing security updates or bugfixes after March 2026
- you run multi-tenant kubernetes clusters where non-admins can create Ingress objects
