This example shows how to implement TCP loadbalancing through the Nginx Controller
You need a Default Backend service and a test HTTP service for this example
To configure which services and ports will be exposed:
$ kubectl create -f nginx-tcp-ingress-configmap.yaml
configmap "nginx-tcp-ingress-configmap" created
$ kubectl -n kube-system get configmap
NAME DATA AGE
nginx-tcp-ingress-configmap 1 10m
$ kubectl -n kube-system describe configmap nginx-tcp-ingress-configmap
Name: nginx-tcp-ingress-configmap
Namespace: kube-system
Labels: <none>
Annotations: <none>
Data
====
9000:
----
default/http-svc:80
The file nginx-tcp-ingress-configmap.yaml
uses a ConfigMap where the key is the external port to use and the value is
<namespace/service name>:<service port>
It is possible to use a number or the name of the port
$ kubectl create -f nginx-tcp-ingress-controller.yaml
replicationcontroller "nginx-ingress-controller" created
$ kubectl -n kube-system get rc
NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY AGE
nginx-ingress-controller 1 1 1 3m
