**My issue: Need to translate annotation from ingress-nginx**

**How I encountered the problem: Trying to create an ingress template**

**Solutions I’ve tried: n/a**

**Version of NIC and/or NGINX: nginx-ingress 2.2.2**

**Deployment environment: AWS EKS cluster**

Hi all,

I’m trying to translate those annotations from nginx-ingress controller to NGINX-ingress:

```auto
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /$2
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: "false"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size: 20M
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippet: |
      rewrite ^/app-name(/|$)(.*) /$2 break;

```

I can not find any way to translate ☹

Need help from community.

Would be very appreciated

Regards

Hi Alberto.

Thank you for your post!

Our supported annotations can be found here: [NGINX Ingress Controller Advanced Configuration with Annotations](https://docs.nginx.com/nginx-ingress-controller/configuration/ingress-resources/advanced-configuration-with-annotations/). They are not identical to the ingress-nginx annotations, but the good news is that you can achieve the same functionality using nginx-ingress annotations.

- `nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target` will be available in our upcoming release in early December (less than 2 weeks away): [PR #8508](https://github.com/nginx/kubernetes-ingress/pull/8508).

- `nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect` is called `ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect` in nginx-ingress.

- `nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size` is used to set the maximum size of a client request body. This corresponds to `client_max_body_size`, which can be achieved with `nginx.org/client-max-body-size` in our version.

- `nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippet` is separated into server and location snippets (`nginx.org/location-snippets` and `nginx.org/server-snippets`). Which one to use depends on where the snippet needs to be included in the NGINX configuration. From looking at yours, I think it’s a location snippet. 🙂

Hope this helps!

Micheal
