ingress-NGINX retirement: migrate off the retired SIG Network controller

Fri, 10 Jul 2026 11:00:57 -0500

Platform/SRE — Act: ingress-nginx reached end-of-life in March 2026 (now four months past); remaining on it means exposure to unpatched CVEs in a critical ingress path with no upstream fixes coming. Audit clusters for ingress-nginx usage and complete migration to a maintained alternative (Envoy Gateway, Ingress-NGINX from F5, Traefik) immediately.
CI/CD — Skip
Leader — Act: The SIG Network ingress-nginx controller is retired, making any org standardized on it subject to growing unpatched CVE exposure with no remediation path; this warrants a brief to leadership and a decision on a replacement ingress standard before the vulnerability surface widens further.
Signals: deprecation mentioned (no explicit date found)
