+# Deploying the Nginx Ingress controller
+
+This example aims to demonstrate the deployment of an nginx ingress controller and
+with the use of an annotation in the Ingress rule be able to customize the nginx 
+configuration.
+
+## Default Backend
+
+The default backend is a Service capable of handling all url paths and hosts the
+nginx controller doesn't understand. This most basic implementation just returns
+a 404 page:
+
+```console
+$ kubectl apply -f default-backend.yaml
+deployment "default-http-backend" created
+service "default-http-backend" created
+
+$ kubectl -n kube-system get po
+NAME                                    READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
+default-http-backend-2657704409-qgwdd   1/1       Running   0          28s
+```
+
+```console
+$ kubectl create -f nginx-load-balancer-conf.yaml
+```
+
+## Controller
+
+You can deploy the controller as follows:
+
+```console
+$ kubectl apply -f nginx-ingress-controller.yaml
+deployment "nginx-ingress-controller" created
+
+$ kubectl -n kube-system get po
+NAME                                       READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
+default-http-backend-2657704409-qgwdd      1/1       Running   0          2m
+nginx-ingress-controller-873061567-4n3k2   1/1       Running   0          42s
+```
+
+## Test
+
+Check the contents of the annotation is present in the nginx.conf file using:
+`kubectl exec nginx-ingress-controller-873061567-4n3k2 -n kube-system cat /etc/nginx/nginx.conf`
