Note for Google Cloud users
Google Cloud ingress controller (gce or GKE Ingress) continues to use the deprecated kubernetes.io/ingress.class
annotation on ingresses, whereas most other ingress controllers use the IngressClass
resource that was introduced in Kubernetes 1.18.
Portainer targets the IngressClass
resource means of specifying ingress classes, but you can still use the Google Cloud ingress controllers by turning on the Allow ingress class to be set to "none" toggle in Cluster setup and setting them up as custom with none
selected as their Ingress class. Then when adding an ingress based on this, set an annotation with the key kubernetes.io/ingress.class
and value gce.
