What to do next
After you install the NGINX Ingress controller, you can upgrade and configure the component in the Nginx Ingress Controller card on the Networking tab of the Add-ons page.
When you upgrade or configure the NGINX Ingress controller, take note of the following items:
Before you upgrade or configure the NGINX Ingress controller, the system automatically performs a precheck to check whether the status of the component meets the requirements. If the NGINX Ingress controller is in an unhealthy state or the configuration of the NGINX Ingress controller does not meet the requirements, the NGINX Ingress controller fails to pass the precheck. You must fix the relevant issues before you can upgrade or configure the NGINX Ingress controller.
If the Upgrade button is not displayed in the Nginx Ingress Controller section, the installed NGINX Ingress controller is of the latest version. For more information about the upgrade notes and usage notes for the NGINX Ingress controller, see Update the NGINX Ingress controller.
