I would like to see some AI capabilities, in-built AI capabilities in NGINX Ingress Controller to help with the load balancing. Normally, customers just use the normal load balancer, and that is fine. The advanced features we try to introduce include many advanced features, for example, a blue-green deployment, load balancing to service based on header values, and many things, including JWT, but normally customers just use the basic load balancer. Most customers use TLS termination. Most customers use it, and they terminate the certificate at NGINX Ingress Controller level. NGINX Ingress Controller can do whitelisting, but they usually use a different product. For example, a Big-IP to do whitelisting instead of NGINX Ingress Controller. We have some projects integrating NGINX Ingress Controller with Prometheus including Grafana. The integration is working well, and there is no problem about that. Currently, there is no suggestion about complexities or functions that can simplify my life with NGINX Ingress Controller. I am totally satisfied with NGINX Ingress Controller if we talk about the functionality part. I think the price is acceptable, but the issue is not about the price. The issue is about the commonness. Load balancing and Ingress is some kind of generic use case, so there are no exciting features, such as an AI feature or something of that nature.

My advice for others looking into using NGINX Ingress Controller is that if you have a large number of users and need auto-scaling, you should definitely go with NGINX Ingress Controller, but if you are just starting out and are new, I would not recommend this. NGINX Ingress Controller is quite good. Its integration is really helpful, and customer support is also good as they usually connect us to the developer when needed, making it easy to get things done. I give this product a rating of nine out of ten.
