What is an ingress controller?

An Ingress Controller is a controller that watches the Kubernetes API server for updates to the Ingress resource and reconfigures the Ingress load balancer accordingly.

What is the NetScaler ingress controller?

NetScaler provides an ingress controller for NetScaler MPX (hardware), NetScaler VPX (virtualized), and NetScaler CPX (containerized) for bare metal and cloud deployments. It is built around Kubernetes Ingress and automatically configures NetScaler based on the Ingress resource configuration.

The NetScaler ingress controller can be deployed either by directly using yamls or by helm charts.
