HTTPS 308 permanent redirection k8s ingress nginx

Question

I have created an EKS cluster following the examples from AWS EKS, I have deployed the nginx ingress controller on top from kubernetes/nginx, Created an ingress resource which points to back end k8s services, However, when I am trying to query via curl -kv https://dev01.cricket.com/demo/hello it returns Permanent Redirect 308

Here is my service-nlb.yaml

    --- (service-nlb.yaml)
kind: Service
apiVersion: v1

  name: ingress-nginx

            path: /sad
  tls:

when I am doing curl -kv dev01.cricket.com it returns 308 permanent redirect

I am not sure why the TLS termination is not happening and the permanent redirect error is happening if I do the same curl on http it returns 301

Not sure what I am doing missing to get 308 error on https.

This is the answer from user Ariseaz from the github issue mentioned in the answer from Azeez Adeniji.

Using helm ingress-nginx chart on EKS
Edit configmap ingress-nginx-controller
kubectl edit configmap ingress-nginx-controller -n ingress-nginx
Add
data: server-snippet: | listen 8000; if ( $server_port = 80 ) { return 308 https://$host$request_uri; } ssl-redirect: "false"

Edit service/ingress-nginx-controller by adding
meta.helm.sh/release-namespace: ingress-nginx service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-backend-protocol: http service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-connection-idle-timeout: "60" service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-ssl-cert: <acm arn> service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-ssl-ports: https service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-type: nlb

Setup your port in the ingress controller to look like what I have below:
NB: special port is what you are going to add to the ingress containerPort
ports:

name: http
port: 80
protocol: TCP
targetPort: 80
name: https
port: 443
protocol: TCP
targetPort: special

Now Edit ingress controller deployment containerPort
kubectl edit deployment.apps/ingress-nginx-controller -n ingress-nginx
Add:

containerPort: 8000
name: special
protocol: TCP

I am not sure why the TLS termination is not happening and the permanent redirect error is happening

Given your Service spec:

spec:
  ports:
    - name: https
      port: 443
      targetPort: 80

causes the following to take place:

User -- [Internet] -HTTPS-> :443 [NLB] -HTTPS-> :443 [iptables] -HTTP-> :80 [nginx]

Thus, because nginx does not realize you have TLS in front of it, and inside the cluster that traffic is HTTP, the nginx believes it is being helpful by redirecting the request to its 443 port and thus secures the request

I haven't done TLS termination with an NLB but in theory the idea is the same: you'd want to use TLS from the NLB to the (presumably self-signed) certificate on nginx's 443 port, because -- all things being equal -- the AWS LB will not verify the validity of the nginx certificate. Thus, while you do actually have a MITM, there will not be any cleartext protocol communication from the user's browser to nginx, making it happy and not 308 anymore

I do see the annotation you highlighted on your Ingress, but I suspect strongly that the mechanism you're experiencing is happening before it gets to the specific Ingress resource, perhaps due to a ConfigMap setting or other. It may be possible to tune nginx as you thought you were asking, but I believe the "pseudo-end-to-end TLS" is so simple to actually fix that it wouldn't behoove you to find work-arounds
