My issue: Need to translate annotation from ingress-nginx
How I encountered the problem: Trying to create an ingress in nginx controller migration
Solutions I’ve tried: n/a
Version of NIC and/or NGINX: nginx-ingress
**Deployment environment: aws eks cluster
Hi all,**
I’m trying to translate those annotations from nginx-ingress controller to NGINX-ingress:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-url: ""
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-proxy-set-headers: ""
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size: ""
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-connect-timeout: ""
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-read-timeout: ""
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-send-timeout: ""
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/permanent-redirect: ""
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-signin: ""
can not find any way to translate
Need help from community.
Would be very appreciated
Regards

Hi @subash_s
For the proxy-* annotations, the NGINX Ingress Controller has equivalent annotations that you can use:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-read-timeout
→ nginx.org/proxy-read-timeout
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size
→ nginx.org/client-max-body-size
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-read-timeout
→ nginx.org/proxy-read-timeout
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-send-timeout
→ nginx.org/proxy-send-timeout
For the auth-* annotations, we are working on enabling external authentication in the NGINX Ingress Controller and expect this to be available in an upcoming release. Please refer to Add support for external authentication · Issue #9155 · nginx/kubernetes-ingress · GitHub for the latest update.
The NGINX Ingress Controller does not have a direct equivalent annotation to nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/permanent-redirect, but NGINX directives can be used in server-snippets or location-snippets to achieve the same capabilities.
For more details on migrating the ingress-nginx ConfigMaps and Annotations to NGINX Ingress Controller, please refer to Migrate from Ingress-NGINX Controller to NGINX Ingress Controller | NGINX Documentation .
