5. Ingress Controller

In our stand we use ingress-nginx Ingress controller - NGINX based image used as a reverse proxy and load balancer. The goal of this Ingress controller is the assembly of a configuration file (/etc/nginx/nginx.conf) from Ingress Resources.

In case of the need for deep troubleshooting it might require to inspect nginx’ configuration.

Let’s inspect this config file and answer several questions:

Q1 What is Nginx Ingress Controller pod name?

Q2 What is the value of proxy_connect_timeout for server_name lights.k8slab.playpit.net

Q3 what is the value of access_log configuration of “default backend”

/dev/stdout

/var/log/nginx/access.log

/var/log/nginx/access.log log_stream
