Enterprise-grade Kubernetes Ingress Controller built on NGINX and NGINX Plus, designed for advanced traffic management in dynamic cloud-native environments.

The F5 NGINX Ingress Controller integrates seamlessly with Kubernetes, allowing configuration through native Kubernetes resources. It supports standard Ingress functionality including content-based routing and TLS/SSL termination, with additional NGINX-specific features exposed via annotations and ConfigMaps.

Key capabilities include:

Load balancing for WebSocket, gRPC, TCP, and UDP applications
Support for VirtualServer and VirtualServerRoute CRDs for fine-grained traffic control and traffic splitting
TransportServer resource for managing TCP/UDP and TLS Passthrough load balancing
Enhanced observability, security, and resilience when deployed with NGINX Plus

Ideal for use cases requiring sophisticated routing, protocol-level control, and enterprise support.
