Chapter 8. Understanding ingress

When you create a site that can be linked to, you need to enable ingress on that site. By default, ingress is enabled, however you can disable it or set it to use a specific ingress type.

By default, the ingress type is set to:

Other options include:

You can set the ingress type using the CLI when creating the site skupper init --ingress <type> or by setting the type in your site YAML, for example to disable ingress:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: skupper-site
data:
  name: my-site
  ingress: "none"

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: skupper-site
data:
  name: my-site
  ingress: "none"

If the default ingress is not suitable, an alternative is nginx-ingress-v1. Nginx uses Server Name Indication (SNI) to identify connection targets, which eliminates the need for assigning separate IP addresses as required by loadbalancer.
