Specifying the loadBalancerIP used by the Ingress

[paultiplady]

I'd like to use a static IP for my ingress. Currently, the Nginx Ingress Controller allocates a new loadBalancerIP each time it starts.

For Services, it's possible to pin the IP using loadBalancerIP: 1.2.3.4. Is this possible in the Nginx Ingress Controller?

If not, is there some other approach that can be used to pin the IP of an Ingress?

@paultiplady you can use the new flag publish-service to use an existing service (with type=LoadBalancer)

@aledbf Can this be done with ssl-passthrough? We currently have ingress with the following:

annotations:
  kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
  ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-passthrough: 'true'

We were trying to determine how to specify a static ip for the ingress, so this sounds promising but I'm unclear on how the LoadBalancer service works in concert with the ingress and ingress controller in this scenario.

Closing. Please use the flag --publish-service. Reopen if you still have issues.
