+# Ingress NGINX Add-on
+
+This add-on installs [Ingress Nginx Controller](https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx) on Amazon EKS. Kubernetes NGINX ingress controller uses NGINX as a reverse proxy and load balancer.
+
+Other than handling Kubernetes ingress objects, this ingress controller can facilitate multi-tenancy and segregation of workload ingresses based on host name (host-based routing) and/or URL Path (path-based routing).
+
+***IMPORTANT***:
+This add-on depends on [AWS Load Balancer Controller](aws-load-balancer-controller.md) Add-on in order to enable NLB support.
+
+***AWS Load Balancer Controller add-on must be present in add-on array*** and ***must be in add-on array before the NGINX ingress controller add-on*** for it to work, as shown in below example. Otherwise will run into error `Assertion failed: Missing a dependency for AwsLoadBalancerControllerAddOn`.
+
+## Usage
+
+```typescript
+import 'source-map-support/register';
+import * as cdk from 'aws-cdk-lib';
+import * as blueprints from '@aws-quickstart/eks-blueprints';
+
+const app = new cdk.App();
+
+const externalDnsHostname = ...;
+const awsLbControllerAddOn = new blueprints.addons.AwsLoadBalancerControllerAddOn();
+const IngressNginxAddOn = new blueprints.addons.IngressNginxAddOn({ externalDnsHostname });
+const addOns: Array<blueprints.ClusterAddOn> = [ awsLbControllerAddOn, IngressNginxAddOn ];
+
+const blueprint = blueprints.EksBlueprint.builder()
+  .version("auto")
+  .addOns(...addOns)
+  .build(app, 'my-stack-name');
+```
+
+To validate that the installation is successful, run the following command:
+
+```bash
+$ kubectl get po -n kube-system
+NAME                                                              READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
+k8s-ingress-ingress-nginx-controller-75886597f6-n9qnn   1/1     Running   0          119m   1/1     Running   0          4d10h
+```
+
+Note that the ingress controller is deployed in the `kube-system` namespace.
+
+Once deployed, it allows applications to create ingress objects and use host-based routing with external DNS support, if the External DNS Add-on is installed.
+
+## Configuration
+
+- `backendProtocol`: Indication for AWS Load Balancer controller with respect to the protocol supported on the load balancer. TCP by default.
+- `crossZoneEnabled`: Whether to create a cross-zone load balancer with the service that backs NGINX.
+- `internetFacing`: Whether the created load balancer is internet-facing. Defaults to `true` if not specified. An internal load balancer is provisioned if set to `false`.
+targetType: `ip` or `instance mode`. Defaults to `ip`, which requires VPC-CNI and has better performance by eliminating a hop through kube-proxy. Instance mode leverages traditional NodePort mode on the instances.
+- `externaDnsHostname`: Used in conjunction with the external DNS add-on to handle automatic registration of the service with Route 53.
+- `values`: Arbitrary values to pass to the chart as per <https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/user-guide/nginx-configuration/>
+
+## DNS Integration and Routing
+
+If the [External DNS Add-on](../addons/external-dns.md) is installed, it is possible to configure the Kubernetes NGINX ingress with an external NLB load balancer and leverage wild-card DNS domains (and public certificate) to route external traffic to individual workloads.
+
+The following example provides support for AWS Load Balancer Controller, External DNS, and Kubernetes NGINX add-ons to enable such routing:
+
+```typescript
+blueprints.EksBlueprint.builder()
+    // Register hosted zone1 under the name of MyHostedZone1
+    .resourceProvider("MyHostedZone1",  new blueprints.DelegatingHostedZoneProvider({
+        parentDomain: 'myglobal-domain.com',
+        subdomain: 'dev.myglobal-domain.com', 
+        parentAccountId: parentDnsAccountId,
+        delegatingRoleName: 'DomainOperatorRole',
+        wildcardSubdomain: true
+    }))
+    .addOns(new blueprints.addons.ExternalDnsAddOn({
+        hostedZoneProviders: ["MyHostedZone1"]
+    }))
+    .addOns(new blueprints.IngressNginxAddOn({ 
+        internetFacing: true, 
+        backendProtocol: "tcp", 
+        externalDnsHostname: subdomain, 
+        crossZoneEnabled: false 
+    }))
+    .version("auto")
+    .build(...);
+```
+
+Assuming the subdomain in the above example is `dev.my-domain.com` and wildcard is enabled for the external DNS add-on, customers can now create ingress objects for host-based routing. Let's define an ingress object for `team-riker` that is currently deploying the guestbook application with no ingress:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
+kind: Ingress
+metadata:
+  annotations:
+    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
+  name: ingress-riker
+  namespace: team-riker
+spec:
+  rules:
+  - host: riker.dev.my-domain.com
+    http:
+      paths:
+      - backend:
+          service:
+            name: guestbook-ui
+            port:
+              number: 80
+        path: /
+        pathType: Prefix
+```
+
+A similar ingress may be defined for `team-troi`, routing to the workloads deployed by that team:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
+kind: Ingress
+metadata:
+  annotations:
+    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
+  name: ingress-troi
+  namespace: team-troi
+spec:
+  rules:
+  - host: troi.dev.my-domain.com
+    http:
+      paths:
+      - backend:
+          service:
+            name: guestbook-ui
+            port:
+              number: 80
+        path: /
+        pathType: Prefix
+```
+
+After the above ingresses are applied (ideally through a GitOps engine), you can now navigate to the specified hosts respectively:
+
+`http://riker.dev.my-domain.com`
+`http://troi.dev.my-domain.com`
+
+## TLS Termination and Certificates
+
+You can configure the Kubernetes NGINX add-on to terminate TLS at the load balancer and supply an ACM certificate through the platform blueprint.
+
+A certificate can be registered using a named [resource provider](../resource-providers/index.md).
+
+For convenience, the framework provides a couple of common certificate providers:
+
+**Import Certificate**
+
+This case is used when a certificate is already created and you just need to reference it with the blueprint stack:
+
+```typescript
+const myCertArn = "";
+blueprints.EksBlueprint.builder()
+    .resourceProvider(GlobalResources.Certificate, new ImportCertificateProvider(myCertArn, "cert1-id"))
+    .addOns(new IngressNginxAddOn({
+        certificateResourceName: GlobalResources.Certificate,
+        externalDnsHostname: 'my.domain.com'
+    }))
+    .teams(...)
+    .version("auto")
+    .build(app, 'stack-with-cert-provider');
+```
+
+**Create Certificate**
+
+This approach is used when a certificate should be created with the blueprint stack. In this case, the new certificate requires DNS validation, which can be accomplished automatically if the corresponding Route 53 hosted zone is provisioned (either along with the stack or separately) and registered as a resource provider.
+
+```typescript
+blueprints.EksBlueprint.builder()
+    .resourceProvider(GlobalResources.HostedZone ,new ImportHostedZoneProvider('hosted-zone-id1', 'my.domain.com'))
+    .resourceProvider(GlobalResources.Certificate, new CreateCertificateProvider('domain-wildcard-cert', '*.my.domain.com', GlobalResources.HostedZone)) // referencing hosted zone for automatic DNS validation
+    .addOns(new AwsLoadBalancerControllerAddOn())
+    // Use hosted zone for External DNS
+    .addOns(new ExternalDnsAddOn({ hostedZoneResources: [GlobalResources.HostedZone] }))
+    // Use certificate registered before with IngressNginxAddOn
+    .addOns(new IngressNginxAddOn({
+        certificateResourceName: GlobalResources.Certificate,
+        externalDnsHostname: 'my.domain.com'
+    }))
+    .teams(...)
+    .version("auto")
+    .build(app, 'stack-with-resource-providers');
+```
+
+## Managing Multiple Ingress Controllers with IngressClasses
+
+The IngressNginxAddOn leverages the Kubernetes NGINX Ingress Controller, which supports using IngressClasses to avoid conflicts. Here's how you can set up and use IngressClasses to manage multiple Ingress controllers effectively.
+
+**Using IngressClasses with IngressNginxAddOn**
+To deploy multiple instances of the NGINX Ingress controller, grant them control over different IngressClasses and select the appropriate IngressClass using the ingressClassName field in your Ingress resources. The IngressNginxAddOn simplifies this setup by allowing you to define these parameters directly.
+
+### Add-on Configuration Example**
+
+```typescript
+const IngressNginxAddOn = new blueprints.addons.IngressNginxAddOn({
+    crossZoneEnabled: true,
+    internetFacing: true,
+    targetType: 'ip',
+    externalDnsHostname: myDomainName,
+    certificateResourceName: blueprints.GlobalResources.Certificate,
+    ingressClassName: 'internal-nginx',
+    controllerClass: 'k8s.io/internal-ingress-nginx',
+    electionId: 'ingress-controller-leader-internal'
+});
+```
+
+**Helm Chart Values**
+The add-on configuration sets up the necessary values for the Helm chart:
+
+```typescript
+const values: Values = {
+    controller: {
+        service: {
+            annotations: presetAnnotations
+        },
+        ingressClassResource: {
+            name: props.ingressClassName || "nginx",
+            enabled: true,
+            default: props.isDefaultClass ?? false,
+            controllerValue: props.controllerClass || "k8s.io/ingress-nginx"
+        },
+        electionID: props.electionId || "ingress-controller-leader"
+    }
+};
+```
+
+## Benefits
+
+- Service Annotations: Customize the Kubernetes Service resource exposing the NGINX ingress controller for better control over AWS integrations.
+- Ingress Class Resource: Manage multiple Ingress configurations by specifying different ingress classes, ensuring proper routing and avoiding conflicts.
+- Election ID: Ensure high availability and reliability by using a unique election ID for each controller instance, avoiding conflicts between multiple instances.
+
