Azure kubernetes - Nginx 控制器的数量？

Question

I am going to deploy an application on Azure kubernetes with the following configuration

1. Kind : service
2. Replicas : 4
3. Horizontal pod scaling : ~8
4. Ingress : Nginx Ingress controller

As I have the Horizontal Pod scaling, when the load increases number of service Pod will increase automatically. However, should I also need to increase the frontier Nginx controller, if so, how would I do?

Answer 1

The short answer is: no, you don't have to add more Ingress controllers when autoscaling.

One Nginx Ingress controller is enough and you don't have to add/configure more in a situation when more application pods will be created. You just need one controller.
