Different ingress in different Namespace in kubernetes - namespaces

Question

I have created two different namespaces for different environment. one is devops-qa and another is devops-dev. I created two ingress in different namespaces. So while creating ingress of qa env in devops-qa namespace, the rules written inside ingress of qa is working fine. Means I am able to access the webpage of qa env. The moment I will create the ingress of dev env in devops-dev namespace, I will be able to access the webpage of dev env but wont be able to access the webpage of qa. And when I delete the dev ingress then again I will be able to access the qa env website
Below is the ingree of both dev and qa env.
Dev Ingress
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "nginx"
name: cafe-ingress-dev
namespace: devops-dev
spec:
tls:
- hosts:
- cafe-dev.example.com
secretName: default-token-drk6n
rules:
- host: cafe-dev.example.com
http:
paths:
- path: /
backend:
serviceName: miqpdev-svc
servicePort: 80
QA Ingress
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "nginx"
name: cafe-ingress-qa
namespace: devops-qa
spec:
tls:
- hosts:
- cafe-qa.example.com
secretName: default-token-jdnqf
rules:
- host: cafe-qa.example.com
http:
paths:
- path: /greentea
backend:
serviceName: greentea-svc
servicePort: 80
- path: /blackcoffee
backend:
serviceName: blackcoffee-svc
servicePort: 80
The token mentioned in the ingress file is of each namespace. And the nginx ingress controller is running in QA namespace
How can i run both the ingress and will be able to get all the websites deployed in both dev and qa env ?

Answer 1

I actually Solved my problem. I did everything correct. But only thing I did not do is to map the hostname with the same ip in Route53. And instead of accessing the website with hostname, I was accessing it from IP. Now after accessing the website from hostname, I was able to access it :)

Seems like you posted here and got your answer. The solution is to deploy a different Ingress for each namespace. However, deploying 2 Ingresses complicates matters because one instance has to run on a non-standard port (eg. 8080, 8443).
I think this is better solved using DNS. Create the CNAME records cafe-qa.example.com and cafe-dev.example.com both pointing to cafe.example.com. Update each Ingress manifest accordingly. Using DNS is somewhat the standard way to separate the Dev/QA/Prod environments.

Had the same issue, found a way to resolve it:
you just need to add the "--watch-namespace" argument to the ingress controller that sits under the ingress service that you've linked to your ingress resource. Then it will be bound only to the services within the same namespace as the ingress service and its pods belong to.
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
namespace: my-namespace
name: nginx-ingress-controller
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
name: nginx-ingress-lb
template:
metadata:
labels:
name: nginx-ingress-lb
spec:
serviceAccountName: ingress-account
containers:
- args:
- /nginx-ingress-controller
- "--default-backend-service=$(POD_NAMESPACE)/default-http-backend"
- "--default-ssl-certificate=$(POD_NAMESPACE)/secret-tls"
- "--watch-namespace=$(POD_NAMESPACE)"
env:
- name: POD_NAME
valueFrom:
fieldRef:
fieldPath: metadata.name
- name: POD_NAMESPACE
valueFrom:
fieldRef:
fieldPath: metadata.namespace
name: nginx-ingress-controller
image: "quay.io/kubernetes-ingress-controller/nginx-ingress-controller:0.24.1"
livenessProbe:
httpGet:
path: /healthz
port: 10254
scheme: HTTP
ports:
- containerPort: 80
name: http
protocol: TCP
- containerPort: 443
name: https
protocol: TCP
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
namespace: my-namespace
name: nginx-ingress
spec:
type: LoadBalancer
ports:
- name: https
port: 443
targetPort: https
selector:

You can create nginx ingress cotroller in kube-system namespace instead of creating it in QA namespace.
