Support for k8s 1.18 Ingress Class?

[TheSithPadawan]

How will nginx support the Ingress Class for the new k8s update?

apiVersion: "networking.k8s.io/v1beta1"
kind: "IngressClass"
metadata:
  name: "external-lb"
spec:
  controller: "example.com/ingress-controller" --> how should we specify nginx ingress controller?
  parameters: --> what parameters are needed?
    apiGroup: "k8s.example.com/v1alpha"
    kind: "IngressParameters"
    name: "external-lb"

Thank you!

Hi @TheSithPadawan

Our Ingress Controller doesn’t support yet the IngressClass Resource and the new ingressClassName field of the Ingress resource.

We haven’t decided yet how we’re going to support the IngressClass resource.

Thanks for the update! Any ETA for when you will support the IngressClass resource?

@TheSithPadawan we don't have an ETA now. However, I will update this issue once we have it.

Since (1) this is a very recent feature and supported only in k8s 1.18+ and (2) the old way with the class annotation will continue to work (although it is deprecated) , I wonder if there are any reasons you're asking for this feature?

@pleshakov I'm working on a networking controller for k8s, and we want to support nginx controller, so just want to see what's your design/expectation for the new updates. Plz keep me posted.
