Setting up an Ingress Controller

Supported Ingress Controllers

The Platformer Console currently supports both Nginx and Traefik Ingress Controllers for Kubernetes.

Note

To extend support to a different Ingress Controller, please contact Platformer Support.

Tip

You only need to install one Ingress Controller on your Cluster. If you do want to configure a Multi-Cluster Environments, please ensure that you install the same version of the Ingress Controller across all clusters that you want to use.

Before you begin

• Ensure that you have a cluster connected at Platformer Console. Read more on Cluster Connection here
