You can now use the OCI native ingress controller as a cluster add-on. The OCI native ingress controller implements the rules and configuration options defined in a Kubernetes ingress resource to load balance and route incoming traffic to service pods running on worker nodes in a cluster.

Using the OCI native ingress controller as a cluster add-on rather than as a standalone program simplifies configuration and ongoing maintenance.

You can more simply:

• Enable or disable the OCI native ingress controller.
• Opt into, and out of, automatic updates by Oracle.
• Select OCI native ingress controller add-on versions.
• Manage add-on specific customizations using approved key/value pair configuration arguments.
