Migrate the MSE Ingress Controller component from the Marketplace page to the Add-ons page - Microservices Engine

The Microservices Engine (MSE) Ingress Controller component is available on the Add-ons page in the Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) console to better serve customers who use ACK. The MSE Ingress Controller component on the Marketplace page will be end of life (EOL) and discontinued. We recommend that you migrate the MSE Ingress Controller component to the Add-ons page at the earliest opportunity. This topic describes how to migrate the MSE Ingress Controller component from the Marketplace page to the Add-ons page in the ACK console.

Description

Note You can follow instructions in this topic to migrate the MSE Ingress Controller component if you have installed the component for your cluster on the Marketplace page.

The MSE Ingress Controller component is not a network data plane, but is a control plane that is used to manage MSE cloud-native gateways and configurations. The MSE Ingress Controller component does not handle any service request traffic. The MSE Ingress Controller component works as a traffic bypass to manage MSE cloud-native gateways that handle service traffic. When you migrate the MSE Ingress Controller component, business continuity is not affected.

Important During the migration, operations are performed only on the MSE Ingress Controller component. Do not delete MseIngressConfig CustomResourceDefinition (CRD) configurations in your cluster. An MseIngressConfig CRD has a one-to-one mapping with an MSE cloud-native gateway. If you delete an MseIngressConfig CRD, the associated MSE cloud-native gateway is deleted.

Procedure

Step 1: Uninstall the ack-mse-ingress-controller component on the Marketplace page

Log on to the ACK console.
In the left-side navigation pane, click Clusters. Then, click the name of the cluster that you want to manage.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Applications > Helm.
On the Helm page, find the ack-mse-ingress-controller component, and click Delete in the Actions column.
In the Delete message, click OK.
The ack-mse-ingress-controller component is uninstalled.

Step 2: Install the MSE Ingress Controller component on the Add-ons page

Log on to the ACK console.
In the left-side navigation pane, click Clusters. Then, click the name of the cluster that you want to manage.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Operations > Add-ons.
On the Add-ons page, click the Networking tab. In the lower-right corner of the MSE Ingress Controller component card, click Install.
In the Install MSE Ingress Controller dialog box, click OK.
MseIngressConfig CRDs and MSE cloud-native gateways have one-to-one mappings. If you select Cascade Delete SLB Instance, the purchased SLB instance is deleted when you delete an MseIngressConfig CRD.
If the mse-ingress-controller component is displayed in the component list in the ACK console, the component is successfully installed.
