Setup/Configuration

Enabling Cilium Ingress

• To enable Cilium Ingress, install/upgrade Cilium with ingressController.enabled=true and (for the required datapath) kubeProxyReplacement=true plus l7Proxy=true. In Helm, for example: helm upgrade cilium cilium/cilium --version 1.20.2 --namespace kube-system --reuse-values --set ingressController.enabled=true --set ingressController.loadbalancerMode=dedicated, then restart deployment/cilium-operator and ds/cilium in the kube-system namespace
• kube proxy replacement mode is required for the ingress controller to work

Cilium Routing Modes

• Cilium allows you to specify load balancer mode for the Ingress resource:
  • dedicated: The Ingress controller will create a dedicated loadbalancer for the Ingress.
  • shared: The Ingress controller will use a shared loadbalancer for all Ingress resources.
