Better together - F5 Container Ingress Services and NGINX Plus Ingress Controller Integration

Thanks  . Three other questions for you:

 

  1. How can I do SSL offloading? One article I found online suggested I set my ServiceMain `class` to `Service_TCP`. That didn't seem to work.
  2. My NGINX-Ingress has `externalTrafficPolicy: "Local"` set so that the source IP is reserved but I still don't see it working. How do I get the F5 to set `x-forwarded-for`?
  3. Third question is do you have a handy reference guide where I can find out what other things I can do using AS3? It seems like the AS3 reference guide doesn't closely follow what we are doing here. In other words, it looks like AS3 for Kubernetes setup is a bit different than your regular AS3 declarations. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Thanks!

 

Edit: Figured out how to get SSL passthrough working manually. Had to change my VS to Performance (L4). Time to figure out how to do it via AS3 🙂
