GLBC ingress: only handle annotated ingress

[tamalsaha]

Hi,
We are running a HAProxy based ingress in our clusters. But for a few service, we would like to run GLBC ingress. I did not see any way to tell ingress controllers, which Ingress resource they can handle. Can Ingress controllers can only handle ingress that has a specific annotation applied to it (similar to how schedulers do it):

"ingress.alpha.kubernetes.io/controller": glbc

Here is a way I could see being implemented. Glbc controller adds a new flag --ingress-controller.

If --ingress-controller flag value is empty, then glbc should handle any Ingress that has no annotation "ingress.alpha.kubernetes.io/controller" or annotation set to "" string.

If --ingress-controller flag is not empty, then only handle Ingress that has
"ingress.alpha.kubernetes.io/controller" : "".

Thanks.

such an annotation already exists ("kubernetes.io/ingress.class"), or maybe I'm confused?

@bprashanth , thanks for the link. I somehow missed the documentation on kubernetes.io/ingress.class. But I would still like a flag for both ingress controllers to disable default on mode. If that flag is set, then ingress controller's will not manage Ingress with kubernetes.io/ingress.class set to empty string.

Yeah that makes sense, I'm guessing you mean --ingress-class=gce only handles ingresses with kubernetes.io/ingress.class=gce. Please send a pr if you have time.
