How to assign an Load Balancer-IP to NGINX ingress?

Heya,

To assign an external IP to your nginx ingress, you should create a LoadBalancer service. This LoadBalancer service will automatically create a DigitalOcean Load Balancer with an external IP address that you can use.

Here is an example of how you can create it:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: my-nginx-service
spec:
  type: LoadBalancer
  selector:
    app: my-nginx
  ports:
    - protocol: TCP
      port: 80
      targetPort: 80

Make sure you replace ‘my-nginx’ with the name of your nginx deployment.

Please consider that DigitalOcean Load Balancers are billable resources. You can always check the most up to date pricing at this link.

For more detailed information, you can refer here: DigitalOcean Docs: How to Configure Load Balancers.

Hope that this helps!
