The annotation `nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/affinity` enables and sets the affinity type in all Upstreams of an Ingress. This way, a request will always be directed to the same upstream server.
The only affinity type available for NGINX is `cookie`.
The annotation `nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/affinity-mode` defines the stickyness of a session. Setting this to `balanced` (default) will redistribute some sessions if a deployment gets scaled up, therefore rebalancing the load on the servers. Setting this to `persistent` will not rebalance sessions to new servers, therefore providing maximum stickyness.
!!! attention
If more than one Ingress is defined for a host and at least one Ingress uses `nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/affinity: cookie`, then only paths on the Ingress using `nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/affinity` will use session cookie affinity. All paths defined on other Ingresses for the host will be load balanced through the random selection of a backend server.
