Manage the MSE Ingress Controller add-on - Container Service for Kubernetes

Alibaba Cloud ACK managed clusters, ACK Serverless clusters, and ACS clusters provide a managed MSE Ingress Controller based on the MSE cloud-native gateway. This topic describes how to install, upgrade, and uninstall the MSE Ingress Controller add-on in ACK managed clusters, ACK Serverless clusters, and ACS clusters.

Install the MSE Ingress Controller add-on

Note

The MSE Ingress Controller add-on can be installed in ACK managed clusters, ACK Serverless clusters, and ACS clusters.

Method 1: Install the add-on during cluster creation

When you create an ACK managed cluster or an ACK Serverless cluster, in the Component Configurations step, select MSE Ingress in the Ingress section. For more information about how to create a cluster, see Create an ACK managed cluster and Create an ACK Serverless cluster.

For Source of MSE cloud-native gateway instance, select Create new or Use existing. If you select Create new, the system automatically creates a pay-as-you-go professional edition MSE cloud-native gateway instance that has two 2-core, 4 GiB nodes, and a standard slb.s2.small Cloud Load Balancer instance. Set network type to public network. In the service discovery section, you can select Install NodeLocal DNSCache. After installation, you must enable DNS configuration injection to activate this feature.
When you create an ACS cluster, in the Component Configurations section, select MSE Ingress for the Ingress parameter. For more information about how to create an ACS cluster, see Create an ACS cluster.
