I am trying to configure an additional layer of Sticky Session to my current Kubernetes architecture. Instead of routing every request through the main LoadBalancer service, I want to route the requests through an upper layer of nginx sticky session. I am following the guide on https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/examples/affinity/cookie/
I am using Azure Cloud for my cluster deployment. Previously, using a Service with LoadBalancer type would automatically generate an external IP address for users to connect to my cluster. Now I need to configure the static IP address for my users to connect to, with the nginx ingress in place. How can I do so? I followed the guide here - https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/tree/master/docs/examples/static-ip but the external address of the Ingress is still empty!!
What did I do wrongly?
