Hi, I have rke2 cluster (k8s version 1.24) deployed on aws ec2 instances. I am deploying nginx controller with cloud provider aws; it is not deploying aws load balancer. Any ideas if there is anything specific in rke2 that should be considered for nginx controller to fire load balancer creation event?

You need to deploy and configure the aws cloud provider, provide it with credentials, and tag your resources appropriately.

can you please provide a link with these steps? I am deploying my own nginx controller, not using out of the box rke2-ingress-nginx

I'm using this Controller and end up with empty target groups https://kubernetes-sigs.github.io/aws-load-balancer-controller/

i am using this chart which works well if rke2 cluster is deployed via rancher. version: "4.0.19" repository: https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx

rke2 already comes with ingress-nginx, did you deploy it twice?

i am deploying my own; not using out of the box nginx controller that is in kube-system namespace

you should either use or disable the built-in one; we don’t test or support it with multiple instances of the nginx controller deployed to the same cluster.

ok
