Ingress Controller requirements

You must have a Kubernetes ingress controller to deploy the Sitecore Kubernetes specification files.

The Sitecore Kubernetes specification files work with most Ingress Controllers supported by Kubernetes, but not all ingress controllers operate the same way. For more information, see the third party documentation for the ingress controller configuration for production deployments.

To support client IP address tracking and personalization, you must configure the Ingress Controller to preserve the client source IP address in the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header.

To fully enable IP address tracking and personalization, you must make some additional changes to the Sitecore software configuration.

For more information about the Ingress Controller and Sitecore software configuration, see the Ingress Controller service section.
