 |`controller.ingressClass.name` | A class of the Ingress Controller. An IngressClass resource with the name equal to the class must be deployed. Otherwise, the Ingress Controller will fail to start. The Ingress Controller only processes resources that belong to its class - i.e. have the "ingressClassName" field resource equal to the class.

 |`controller.ingressClass.create` | Creates a new IngressClass object with the name `controller.ingressClass.name`. Set to `false` to use an existing ingressClass created using `kubectl` with the same name. If you use `helm upgrade`, do not change the values from the previous release as helm will delete IngressClass objects managed by helm. If you are upgrading from a release earlier than 3.4.2, do not set the value to false. | true |
