Answer 1

Hello, @anjali-opstree !

Can I use multiple ingress controllers with AKS (like AGIC and NGINX)?

Yes, multiple ingress controllers can be used:

https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/ingress-controllers/#using-multiple-ingress-controllers

It is important to note that the Ingress Class must identify which controller to use (AGIC or NGINX ingress controller). For example:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/application-gateway/ingress-controller-annotations#list-of-supported-annotations

For an Ingress resource to be observed by AGIC, it must be annotated with kubernetes.io/ingress.class: azure/application-gateway. Only then AGIC works with the Ingress resource in question.
