In a Single-Tier topology, Citrix ADC MPX or VPX devices proxy the (North-South) traffic from the clients to microservices inside the cluster. The Citrix ingress controller is deployed as a standalone pod in the Kubernetes cluster. The controller automates the configuration of Citrix ADCs (MPX or VPX) based on the changes to the microservices or the Ingress resources.

In Dual-Tier topology, Citrix ADC MPX or VPX devices in Tier-1 proxy the traffic (North-South) from the client to Citrix ADC CPXs in Tier-2. The Tier-2 Citrix ADC CPX then routes the traffic to the microservices in the Kubernetes cluster. The Citrix ingress controller deployed as a standalone pod configures the Tier-1 devices. And, the sidecar controller in one or more Citrix ADC CPX pods configures the associated Citrix ADC CPX in the same pod.

- Easy to start and adopt because you can use the existing NetScaler as the ingress proxy in front of the Kubernetes cluster.

- When you have significant workload running as microservices there is a need for a proxy inside the Kubernetes cluster.
94
94
- When the external proxy (managed by the network team) and Kubernetes proxies (managed by platform team) are managed by two different teams.
95
95
- You need segregation of functions for proxies external to Kubernetes and for proxies inside Kubernetes. For example, WAF, and SSL offload on external NetScaler and policy enforcement and rate limiting on the Kubernetes proxy.
