Zero-Downtime Ingress Controller Migration in Kubernetes

Zero-Downtime Ingress Controller Migration in Kubernetes

Ingress-nginx is heading for the exits - end-of-life drops March 2026. That puts Kubernetes operators on the hook to swap in a new ingress controller.

The migration path? Run both old and new in parallel. Use DNS cutover. Point explicitly with Ingress classes. Done right, the switchover hits zero downtime.
