Should I use NGINX Ingress Controller or Azure Application Gateway Ingress Controller?

NGINX is lightweight, runs as pods inside the cluster, and offers extensive configuration flexibility. AGIC integrates with Azure Application Gateway, providing a cloud-managed Layer 7 load balancer with WAF, SSL offloading, and Azure-native monitoring. Choose AGIC for Azure-native integration and NGINX for portability and community ecosystem support.

Does this tool support the Gateway API?

This tool generates traditional Kubernetes Ingress resources. The Gateway API is a newer Kubernetes standard for traffic routing that provides more expressive configuration. While some AKS ingress controllers support the Gateway API, Ingress resources are still the most widely used and supported approach.

About This Tool

The Azure Kubernetes Ingress Builder helps you create ingress configurations for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters. Ingress resources define how external HTTP/HTTPS traffic is routed to services within your cluster. This tool supports both the NGINX ingress controller and the Azure Application Gateway Ingress Controller (AGIC), generating YAML manifests with TLS configuration, path-based routing, host-based routing, and annotations for advanced features.

When to Use This Tool

•Build ingress rules with path-based routing to direct traffic to different backend services based on URL paths.
•Configure TLS termination with Let's Encrypt certificates managed by cert-manager for HTTPS endpoints.
•Create host-based ingress rules that route traffic for multiple domains to different services in the same cluster.
•Generate ingress configurations with Azure Application Gateway annotations for WAF, SSL offloading, and health probe customization.
