  • Add new parameters to the Chart: controller.setAsDefaultIngress, controller.enableLatencyMetrics. Added in 1133 and 1148.

CHANGES:

  • 1182 Update NGINX version to 1.19.3.

UPGRADE:

  • For NGINX, use the 1.9.0 image from our DockerHub: nginx/nginx-ingress:1.9.0, nginx/nginx-ingress:1.9.0-alpine or nginx-ingress:1.9.0-ubi
  • For NGINX Plus, please build your own image using the 1.9.0 source code.
  • For Helm, use version 0.7.0 of the chart.

For Kubernetes >= 1.18, when upgrading using the manifests, make sure to update the ClusterRole and create the IngressClass resource, which is required for Kubernetes >= 1.18. Otherwise, the Ingress Controller will fail to start. If you run multiple NGINX Ingress Controllers in the cluster, each Ingress Controller has to have its own IngressClass resource. As the -use-ingress-class-only argument is now ignored (see NOTES), make sure your Ingress resources have the ingressClassName field or the kubernetes.io/ingress.class annotation set to the name of the IngressClass resource. Otherwise, the Ingress Controller will ignore them.

HELM UPGRADE:

  • If you're using custom resources like VirtualServer and TransportServer (controller.enableCustomResources is set to true), after you run the helm upgrade command, the CRDs will not be upgraded. After running the helm upgrade command, run kubectl apply -f deployments/helm-chart/crds to upgrade the CRDs.
  • For Kubernetes >= 1.18, a dedicated IngressClass resource, which is configured by controller.ingressClass, is required per helm release. Ensure controller.ingressClass is not set to the name of the IngressClass of other releases or Ingress Controllers. As the controller.useIngressClassOnly parameter is now ignored (see NOTES), make sure your Ingress resources have the ingressClassName field or the kubernetes.io/ingress.class annotation set to the value of controller.ingressClass. Otherwise, the Ingress Controller will ignore them.

NOTES:

  • When using Kubernetes >= 1.18, the -use-ingress-class-only command-line argument is now ignored, and the Ingress Controller will only process resources that belong to its class. See IngressClass doc to learn more.
  • For Kubernetes >= 1.18, a dedicated IngressClass resource, which is configured by controller.ingressClass, is required per helm release. When upgrading or installing releases, ensure controller.ingressClass is not set to the name of the IngressClass of other releases or Ingress Controllers.
