Nginx loadbalancing in studio

Information about routing with nginx

Nginx routing

The router config is stored as a configmap in our kubernetes cluster, and mounted to the pod as a .conf file. When the config needs to be changed, the changes should be done in the loadbalancer-configmap for the correct environment (dev/prod).

Apply the changes, and restart the pod:

Option 1: kill the pod and let the deployment spinn up a new pod.
Option 2: open a shell into the pod kubectl exec -it [POD_NAME] -- sh and run the command nginx -s reload
