For VPC and bastion host you can refer to this repository.

# Add NGINX ingress using Helm eks.HelmChart( self, "NginxIngress", cluster=cluster, chart="ingress-nginx", repository="https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx", namespace="ingress-nginx", values=helm_values )

ingress-nginx

The second one is a combination of tools: External DNS, cert-manager, and NGINX ingress. Using these as a stack, you can quickly deploy an application, making it available through a DNS with a TLS without much effort via simple annotations. When I first discovered External DNS, I was amazed at its quality.

resource "helm_release" "icrelease" { name = "nginx-ingress" repository = "https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx" chart = "ingress-nginx" version = "4.9.1" namespace = kubernetes_namespace.icnamespace.metadata[0].name set { name = "controller.ingressClassResource.default" value = "true" } }

helm repo add ingress-nginx https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx helm repo update helm upgrade --install ingress-nginx ingress-nginx/ingress-nginx --namespace ingress-nginx --create-namespace -f custom/ghost/nginx.yaml

For example, if you chose Nginx Ingress, you will use some of its dozens of annotations that are not portable if you decide to switch to another Ingress implementation like Apache APISIX.

The controller is installed with helm upgrade --install ingress-nginx ingress-nginx --repo https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx --namespace ingress-nginx --create-namespace

Everything in the YAML snippets below — except for ingress configuration — relates to configuring the NGINX ingress controller. This includes customizing the default configuration.
