Ingress-NGINX Migration Checklist: The Complete Step by Step Workbook (Free)

Migrating off ingress-nginx is a lot more work than it looks, and building a proper plan from scratch burns hours you don’t have. That’s why I created this fully structured migration checklist, a clear, practical Excel workbook you can adapt instantly to your own cluster.

It covers everything: discovery, annotation translation, staging validation, production cutover, DNS/TLS, observability, security, DR, ownership, risks and rollback paths. It’s designed the same way teams actually work during real migrations, so you never lose track of what matters.

If you’re leading or participating in an ingress migration, this checklist will save you time, reduce mistakes and keep your process organized. It’s free, and if it helps you, tips are always appreciated.

If you find this useful, please share it with your colleagues. In real migrations, alignment matters as much as execution, and having everyone work from the same checklist adds a real sense of clarity and ease to the process.
