Route to Management Dashboard Locally for a RabbitMQ Cluster Deployed in AKS via Azure App Gateway and Nginx Ingress Controller

We have discussed "Setting Up RabbitMQ Cluster in AKS Using RabbitMQ Cluster Operator" and how to expose dashboard with "Access Management Dashboard Locally for a RabbitMQ Cluster Deployed in AKS via Port Forwarding or Nginx Ingress Controller Inside VNet". Using the same Nginx route we can setup app gateway route rule so that the RabbitMQ dashboard can be accessed public url.

The expectation  is to route via App Gateway as shown below..

Fix Azure Advisor "Update VNet permission of Application Gateway users" in AKS Application Gateway Ingress Controller (AGIC) App Gateway

 In last two days there was an alert in the AKS ingress app gateway, recomending to  "Update VNet permission of Application Gateway users". Then starting on 20th June 2023, any newly created  AKS cluster with AGIC, started to fail to manage ingess settings on app gatway for eastus region. Same behavoiur is shown in westeurope region today 21 June 2023.

Path Based Routing to AKS Ingress with Application Gateway Ingress Controller

 We have discussed getting Application Gateway Ingress Controller (AGIC) deployed using AGIC addon method in the post "Enable Application Gateway Ingress Controller (AGIC) for AKS - SImplest Way with a New App Gatway in Same vNet of AKS Cluster". We have tried a sample app deployment and added a routing ingress rule, to route to root, and reach the sample application toverify the working state of the AGIC in AKS cluster. However, generally in the APIs we deploy to AKS cluster, would require path based routing to reach, diffrent APIs. Let's discuss how to create ingress path based routing to AKS deployed APIs using AGIC.

Enable Application Gateway Ingress Controller (AGIC) for AKS - SImplest Way with a New App Gatway in Same vNet of AKS Cluster

 With AKS you can use Nginx ingress controller as can be done with any Kubernetes cluster. However, you might want to have more integratied experience with Azure cloud services, so that other Azure serivces can easily access your applications in your AKS. Application Gateway Ingress Controller (AGIC) is a great way to implement secure ingress for AKS. Essntially, AGIC is a pod deployed in AKS, which will monitor AKS ingress resources and apply App Gatway configurations based on AKS ingress. Let's see how to enable AKS ingress using Application Gateway Ingress Controller, by creating a new App Gatway in the same virtual network of the AKS cluster.
