Ingress controller with k8s multi node cluster

[charlseo]

I also want to mention this is a great course!

I'm following the video and example but setting up ingress shows different behaviour than what's shown in the video.

Day3 - Deploy first app with ingress brings up the hostname (FQDN) but it does not route the app using 80. (default-backend 404 error). I tested using the actual port, it successfully opens up the page.

A few thing I found is that no ip assigned to default-http-backend and nginx-ingres-controller external IP shows as pending. Also log indicates "No Cloud provide tag"

NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
first-app NodePort 10.101.234.166 80:32394/TCP 84m
nginx-ingress-controller LoadBalancer 10.98.224.237 80:32262/TCP,443:31916/TCP 13h
nginx-ingress-default-backend ClusterIP 10.96.91.205 80/TCP 13h

E0422 23:19:43.017582 1 core.go:77] Failed to start service controller: WARNING: no cloud provider provided, services of type LoadBalancer will fail

After some research, I found LB might not be available in custom cluster like this but wonder if it's some configuration I screwed up or any additional steps to be done which not included during the course.
