 A common use-case for cert-manager is requesting TLS signed certificates to secure your ingress resources. This can be done by simply adding annotations to your Ingress resources and cert-manager will facilitate creating the Certificate resource for you. A small sub-component of cert-manager, ingress-shim, is responsible for this.
 
-To enable the Nginx Ingress controller as part of your Kubespray deployment, simply edit your K8s cluster addons inventory e.g. `inventory\sample\group_vars\k8s_cluster\addons.yml` and set `ingress_nginx_enabled` to true.

-## Prerequisite Generic Deployment Command
-
-!!! attention
-    The default configuration watches Ingress object from *all the namespaces*.
-    To change this behavior use the flag `--watch-namespace` to limit the scope to a particular namespace.
-
-!!! warning
-    If multiple Ingresses define different paths for the same host, the ingress controller will merge the definitions.
-
-!!! attention
-    If you're using GKE you need to initialize your user as a cluster-admin with the following command:
-
-```console
-kubectl create clusterrolebinding cluster-admin-binding \
---clusterrole cluster-admin \
---user $(gcloud config get-value account)
-```
-
-The following **Mandatory Command** is required for all deployments except for AWS. See below for the AWS version.
-
-```console
-kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/controller-v1.13.3/deploy/static/provider/cloud/deploy.yaml
-```
-
-### Provider Specific Steps
-
-There are cloud provider specific yaml files.
-
-#### Docker for Mac
-
-Kubernetes is available in Docker for Mac (from [version 18.06.0-ce](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/release-notes/#stable-releases-of-2018))
-
-First you need to [enable kubernetes](https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/#kubernetes).
-
-Then you have to create a service:
-
-```console
-kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/static/provider/cloud-generic.yaml
-```
-
-#### minikube
-
-For standard usage:
-
-```console
-minikube addons enable ingress
-```
-
-For development:
-
-1. Disable the ingress addon:
-
-```console
-minikube addons disable ingress
-```
-
-1. Execute `make dev-env`
-1. Confirm the `nginx-ingress-controller` deployment exists:
-
-```console
-$ kubectl get pods -n ingress-nginx
-NAME                                       READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
-default-http-backend-66b447d9cf-rrlf9      1/1       Running   0          12s
-nginx-ingress-controller-fdcdcd6dd-vvpgs   1/1       Running   0          11s
-```
-
-#### AWS
-
-In AWS we use an Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) to expose the NGINX Ingress controller behind a Service of `Type=LoadBalancer`.
-Since Kubernetes v1.9.0 it is possible to use a classic load balancer (ELB) or network load balancer (NLB)
-Please check the [elastic load balancing AWS details page](https://aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/details/)
-
-##### Elastic Load Balancer - ELB
-
-This setup requires to choose in which layer (L4 or L7) we want to configure the Load Balancer:
-
-- [Layer 4](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model#Layer_4:_Transport_Layer): Use an Network Load Balancer (NLB) with TCP as the listener protocol for ports 80 and 443.
-- [Layer 7](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model#Layer_7:_Application_Layer): Use an Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) with HTTP as the listener protocol for port 80 and terminate TLS in the ELB
-
-For L4:
-
-```console
-kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/static/provider/aws/deploy.yaml
-```
-
-For L7:
-
-Change the value of `service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-ssl-cert` in the file `provider/aws/deploy-tls-termination.yaml` replacing the dummy id with a valid one. The dummy value is `"arn:aws:acm:us-west-2:XXXXXXXX:certificate/XXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX"`
-
-Check that no change is necessary with regards to the ELB idle timeout. In some scenarios, users may want to modify the ELB idle timeout, so please check the [ELB Idle Timeouts section](#elb-idle-timeouts) for additional information. If a change is required, users will need to update the value of `service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-connection-idle-timeout` in `provider/aws/deploy-tls-termination.yaml`
-
-Then execute:
-
-```console
-kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/static/provider/aws/deploy-tls-termination.yaml
-```
-
-This example creates an ELB with just two listeners, one in port 80 and another in port 443
-
-![Listeners](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/blob/main/docs/images/elb-l7-listener.png)
-
-##### ELB Idle Timeouts
-
-In some scenarios users will need to modify the value of the ELB idle timeout.
-Users need to ensure the idle timeout is less than the [keepalive_timeout](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#keepalive_timeout) that is configured for NGINX.
-By default NGINX `keepalive_timeout` is set to `75s`.
-
-The default ELB idle timeout will work for most scenarios, unless the NGINX [keepalive_timeout](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#keepalive_timeout) has been modified,
-in which case `service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-connection-idle-timeout` will need to be modified to ensure it is less than the `keepalive_timeout` the user has configured.
-
-*Please Note: An idle timeout of `3600s` is recommended when using WebSockets.*
-
-More information with regards to idle timeouts for your Load Balancer can be found in the [official AWS documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/classic/config-idle-timeout.html).
-
-##### Network Load Balancer (NLB)
-
-This type of load balancer is supported since v1.10.0 as an ALPHA feature.
-
-```console
-kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/static/provider/aws/service-nlb.yaml
-```
-
-#### GCE-GKE
-
-```console
-kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/static/provider/cloud-generic.yaml
-```
-
-**Important Note:** proxy protocol is not supported in GCE/GKE
-
-#### Azure
-
-```console
-kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/master/deploy/static/provider/cloud-generic.yaml
-```
-
-#### Bare-metal
-
-Using [NodePort](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#type-nodeport):
-
-```console
-kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/main/deploy/static/provider/baremetal/deploy.yaml
-```
-
-!!! tip
-    For extended notes regarding deployments on bare-metal, see [Bare-metal considerations](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/blob/main/docs/deploy/baremetal.md).
-
-### Verify installation
-
-To check if the ingress controller pods have started, run the following command:
-
-```console
-kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -l app.kubernetes.io/name=ingress-nginx --watch
-```
-
-Once the operator pods are running, you can cancel the above command by typing `Ctrl+C`.
-Now, you are ready to create your first ingress.
-
-### Detect installed version
-
-To detect which version of the ingress controller is running, exec into the pod and run `nginx-ingress-controller version` command.
-
-```console
-POD_NAMESPACE=ingress-nginx
-POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods -n $POD_NAMESPACE -l app.kubernetes.io/component=controller -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}')
-
-kubectl exec -it $POD_NAME -n $POD_NAMESPACE -- /nginx-ingress-controller --version
-```
-
-## Using Helm
-
-NGINX Ingress controller can be installed via [Helm](https://helm.sh/) using the chart [ingress-nginx/ingress-nginx](https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx).
-Official documentation is [here](https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/deploy/#using-helm)
-
-To install the chart with the release name `my-nginx`:
-
-```console
-helm repo add ingress-nginx https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx
-helm install my-nginx ingress-nginx/ingress-nginx
-```
-
-Detect installed version:
-
-```console
-POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/name=ingress-nginx -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}')
-kubectl exec -it $POD_NAME -- /nginx-ingress-controller --version
-```
