    My main concern is about zero-downtime deployments - https://github.com/Azure/application-gateway-kubernetes-ingress/blob/master/docs/how-tos/minimize-downtime-during-deployments.md

    However, you better read and understand some specific behaviors of AGIC which are caused by its architecture - https://github.com/Azure/application-gateway-kubernetes-ingress/blob/master/docs/how-tos/minimize-downtime-during-deployments.md & https://github.com/Azure/application-gateway-kubernetes-ingress/issues/1124

  • Aks ingress controller- Nginx+ vs AGIC
    1 project | /r/AZURE | 30 Jan 2022
    AGIC has a lack of annotations that I find nginx+ offers like server snippets and custom headers. granted you can write re-write rules for AGIC with the help of the portal, it resets everything if one pod fails and this is a major showstopper for me. More info about the exact issue I'm talking about is in this issue. Apart from this, like the previous comments, the extra WAF rules and compliances offered makes AGIC a good choice if you don't have any extra header addition requirements like i do.

    1 project | /r/devops | 14 Jan 2021
    If you want Azure to manage ingress, you can use Azure application gateway and application gateway ingress controller (agic). However, if you want a public/private combination, fox example if you have 8 microservices out of which you want 6 to have private endpoint and 2 to have public endpoint over https, then it cannot be dones as agic only supports one ip per port. Also one agic can only use one application gateway (With auto management, meaning it automatically manages the listeners, https settings, backendpools, probes etc. on app gateway). If you it as shared gateway, then you need to manage application gateway manually (with az cli). Also, its github page has good how tos (https://github.com/Azure/application-gateway-kubernetes-ingress).
