Kubernetes: Ingress NGINX retirement and your migration roadmap
Plan a safe transition away from Ingress NGINXLearn how to prepare for the end of life of the Ingress NGINX controller and build a structured migration roadmap for your Kubernetes environments.
Background and contextThe Ingress NGINX controller reaches end of life in March 2026. After that, it will no longer receive security updates or maintenance. This creates significant security, operational, and compliance risks for production Kubernetes clusters.
A structured migration approachThis webinar explains how to treat the Ingress NGINX retirement as a planned evolution rather than a last-minute emergency.
