This document describes the F5 NGINX Ingress Controller, an Ingress Controller implementation for NGINX and NGINX Plus.

NGINX Ingress Controller is an Ingress Controller implementation for NGINX and NGINX Plus that can load balance Websocket, gRPC, TCP and UDP applications. It supports standard Ingress features such as content-based routing and TLS/SSL termination. Several NGINX and NGINX Plus features are available as extensions to Ingress resources through Annotations and the ConfigMap resource.

NGINX Ingress Controller supports the VirtualServer and VirtualServerRoute resources as alternatives to Ingress, enabling traffic splitting and advanced content-based routing. It also supports TCP, UDP and TLS Passthrough load balancing using TransportServer resources.
