we are currently still running our Kubernetes cluster in region europe-west2 (London) but have to use a new ipaddress for an ingress on the cluster from europe-west3 (Frankfurt).

After trying to deploy our new ingress on the cluster in region europe-west2 I get the following error:

the given static IP name xyz doesn't translate to an existing static IP.

I assume that ingress only has access to regional IP addresses in the same region.

I use the following annotation:

  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.regional-static-ip-name: xyz

Does anybody have an idea how to use the IP address from europe-west3 on an ingress in europe-west2?

Cheers

I've tried to replicate your issue but couldn't find any solution.

However, note that from the official documentation:

Regional IP addresses do not work with Ingress.

To learn more about how to use Ingress to expose your applications to the internet, refer to the Setting up HTTP(S) Load Balancing with Ingress tutorial.

And please refer to the similar issues and the useful answers under it:

    @WytrzymałyWiktor We decided to use an nginx-ingress which allowed us to use a regional IP. – JSt Oct 21 '21 at 10:31
