</code></pre></div><h2id=validation>Validation<aclass=headerlinkhref=#validationtitle="Permanent link"> ¶</a></h2><p>You can confirm that the Ingress works:</p><divclass=highlight><pre><span></span><code><spanclass=gp>$</span> kubectl describe ing nginx-test
</code></pre></div><p>In the example above, you can see that the response contains a <code>Set-Cookie</code> header with the settings we have defined. This cookie is created by NGINX, it contains a randomly generated key corresponding to the upstream used for that request (selected using <ahref=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistent_hashing>consistent hashing</a>) and has an <code>Expires</code> directive. If the user changes this cookie, NGINX creates a new one and redirects the user to another upstream.</p><p>If the backend pool grows NGINX will keep sending the requests through the same server of the first request, even if it's overloaded.</p><p>When the backend server is removed, the requests are re-routed to another upstream server. This does not require the cookie to be updated because the key's <ahref=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistent_hashing>consistent hash</a> will change.</p><p>When you have a Service pointing to more than one Ingress, with only one containing affinity configuration, the first created Ingress will be used. This means that you can face the situation that you've configured session affinity on one Ingress and it doesn't work because the Service is pointing to another Ingress that doesn't configure this.</p></article></div></div></main><footerclass=md-footer><divclass=md-footer-nav><navclass="md-footer-nav__inner md-grid"aria-label=Footer><ahref=../../PREREQUISITES/class="md-footer-nav__link md-footer-nav__link--prev"rel=prev><divclass="md-footer-nav__button md-icon"><svgxmlns=http://www.w3.org/2000/svgviewbox="0 0 24 24"><pathd="M20 11v2H8l5.5 5.5-1.42 1.42L4.16 12l7.92-7.92L13.5 5.5 8 11h12z"/></svg></div><divclass=md-footer-nav__title><divclass=md-ellipsis><spanclass=md-footer-nav__direction> Previous </span> Prerequisites </div></div></a><ahref=../../auth/basic/class="md-footer-nav__link md-footer-nav__link--next"rel=next><divclass=md-footer-nav__title><divclass=md-ellipsis><spanclass=md-footer-nav__direction> Next </span> Basic Authentication </div></div><divclass="md-footer-nav__button md-icon"><svgxmlns=http://www.w3.org/2000/svgviewbox="0 0 24 24"><pathd="M4 11v2h12l-5.5 5.5 1.42 1.42L19.84 12l-7.92-7.92L10.5 5.5 16 11H4z"/></svg></div></a></nav></div><divclass="md-footer-meta md-typeset"><divclass="md-footer-meta__inner md-grid"><divclass=md-footer-copyright> Made with <ahref=https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/target=_blankrel=noopener> Material for MkDocs </a></div></div></div></footer></div><scriptsrc=../../../assets/javascripts/vendor.93c04032.min.js></script><scriptsrc=../../../assets/javascripts/bundle.83e5331e.min.js></script><scriptid=__langtype=application/json>{"clipboard.copy":"Copy to clipboard","clipboard.copied":"Copied to clipboard","search.config.lang":"en","search.config.pipeline":"trimmer, stopWordFilter","search.config.separator":"[\\s\\-]+","search.placeholder":"Search","search.result.placeholder":"Type to start searching","search.result.none":"No matching documents","search.result.one":"1 matching document","search.result.other":"# matching documents","search.result.more.one":"1 more on this page","search.result.more.other":"# more on this page","search.result.term.missing":"Missing"}</script><script>
