The Kubernetes community has confirmed that the widely used NGINX Ingress controller is entering retirement, with all maintenance and security updates ending by March 2026. With mounting technical debt, recurring security flaws, and a dwindling maintainer base, continuing to rely on it presents serious risk. This article breaks down why the project is being sunset, explores the best cloud-native and third-party ingress replacements—including AWS Load Balancer Controller, Azure AGIC, GKE Ingress, Traefik, and Istio—and highlights why organisations should begin planning their migration now. Mobilise Cloud’s Kubernetes experts can guide you through assessment, planning, and a seamless migration to a more secure and future-proof ingress solution.

As both organiser and Gold Sponsor, Mobilise helped make ServerlessDays Cardiff 2025 a landmark event for the UK’s serverless community. Over 300 developers, engineers, and leaders gathered at DEPOT Cardiff to share insights on AWS Lambda, AI-driven development, and cloud-native transformation. The event embodied everything the serverless movement stands for — collaboration, simplicity, and continuous learning.
