Hey guys, I am trying to upload files larger than 200mb using a netcore app deployed to a kubernetes cluster with a load balancer. When I post to the endpoint the file I get an NGINX error 413 Request Entity Too Large - NGINX. This is weird for me because I didn’t install any nginx to proxy the requests through. I read that netcore apps use Kestrel as the server.

service.yaml

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: myapp-api-service
  annotations:
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size: "0"
spec:
  type: LoadBalancer
  selector:
    app: myapp
    microService: myapp-api
  ports:
    - protocol: TCP
      port: 80
      targetPort: myapp-api

deployment.yaml

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: myapp-api
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: myapp
      microService: myapp-api

        app: myapp
        microService: myapp-api

          ports:
