The Ingress Default Backend is a tool that is used for the nginx-ingress-controller. It serves a static HTML page which is shown for all incoming requests to nginx that are not controlled by an Ingress object.

⚠️ Please don't forget to update the $VERSION variable in the Makefile before creating a new release:

$ make release

This will create a new Docker image with the tag you specified in the Makefile, push it to our image registry, and clean up afterwards.

As the default backend is usually used in the context of the nginx-ingress-controller, there weren't prepared any example manifests. Please take a look at the values.yaml file of the official nginx-ingress Helm chart to understand how to include it.
