Life After Ingress NGINX: A Zero-Stress Migration Guide to HAProxy
Register now
The recent announcement at KubeCon was clear: the Ingress NGINX community project is retiring. By March 2026, updates and security patches will stop completely.
While this news has caused some anxiety, it is actually a massive opportunity to upgrade your stack.
Join us for a hands-on session where we break down exactly how to move from Ingress NGINX to the HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller—and why this switch gives you immediate performance wins and a future-proof path to the Gateway API.
In this technical deep dive, we will cover:
The Migration Strategy: How to replace Ingress NGINX with a stable, production-ready solution that handles your existing traffic demands.
Annotation Mapping Tool: We will demo a specialized tool that helps map your existing NGINX annotations directly to HAProxy configurations, taking the guesswork out of the switch.
Unlock Hidden Performance: See why HAProxy consistently handles more than double the throughput of NGINX while using less CPU.
Better Security: Learn how we handle "snippets" differently to eliminate technical debt and secure your cluster against arbitrary code injection.
The Path to Gateway API: A sneak peek at the HAProxy Unified Gateway, the next-generation controller that unifies Ingress and Gateway API resources.
Watch us perform a live migration, map annotations, and show off some "fun" advanced load-balancing features you didn't have access to before.
Who should attend: DevOps Engineers, SREs, and Platform Architects looking for a clear, proven path forward.
