### Upgrading With Zero Downtime in Production
By default the ingress-nginx controller has service interruptions whenever it's pods are restarted or redeployed. In order to fix that, see the excellent blog post by Lindsay Landry from Codecademy: [Kubernetes: Nginx and Zero Downtime in Production](https://medium.com/codecademy-engineering/kubernetes-nginx-and-zero-downtime-in-production-2c910c6a5ed8).

#### How the Chart Configures the Hooks
A validating and configuration requires the endpoint to which the request is sent to use TLS. It is possible to set up custom certificates to do this, but in most cases, a self-signed certificate is enough. The setup of this component requires some more complex orchestration when using helm. The steps are created to be idempotent and to allow turning the feature on and off without running into helm quirks.
1. A pre-install hook provisions a certificate into the same namespace using a format compatible with provisioning using end user certificates. If the certificate already exists, the hook exits.
2. The ingress nginx controller pod is configured to use a TLS proxy container, which will load that certificate.
3. Validating and Mutating webhook configurations are created in the cluster.
4. A post-install hook reads the CA from the secret created by step 1 and patches the Validating and Mutating webhook configurations. This process will allow a custom CA provisioned by some other process to also be patched into the webhook configurations. The chosen failure policy is also patched into the webhook configurations
#### Alternatives
It should be possible to use [cert-manager/cert-manager](https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager) if a more complete solution is required.
You can enable automatic self-signed TLS certificate provisioning via cert-manager by setting the `controller.admissionWebhooks.certManager.enabled` value to true.
Please ensure that cert-manager is correctly installed and configured.
