nginxinc/kubernetes-ingress v1.7.0

NGINX Ingress Controller 1.7.0

on GitHub

OVERVIEW:

Release 1.7.0 includes:

• Support for TCP, UDP, and TLS Passthrough load balancing with the new configuration resources: TransportServer and GlobalConfiguration. The resources allow users to deliver complex, non-HTTP-based applications from Kubernetes using the NGINX Ingress Controller.
• Support for error pages in VirtualServer and VirtualServerRoute resources. A user can now specify custom error responses for errors returned by backend applications or generated by NGINX, such as a 502 response.
• Improved validation of VirtualServer and VirtualServerRoute resources. kubectl and the Kubernetes API server can now detect violations of the structure of VirtualServer/VirtualServerRoute resources and return an error.
• Support for an operator which manages the lifecycle of the Ingress Controller on Kubernetes or OpenShift. See the NGINX Ingress Operator GitHub repo.

See the 1.7.0 release announcement blog post, which includes an overview of each feature.

UPGRADE:

• For NGINX, use the 1.7.0 image from our DockerHub: nginx/nginx-ingress:1.7.0, nginx/nginx-ingress:1.7.0-alpine or nginx-ingress:1.7.0-ubi
• For NGINX Plus, please build your own image using the 1.7.0 source code.
• For Helm, use version 0.5.0 of the chart.

When upgrading using the manifests, make sure to deploy the new TransportServer CRD (common/ts-definition.yaml), as it is required by the Ingress Controller. Otherwise, you will get error messages in the Ingress Controller logs.
