NGINX Ingress Controller 3.7.2 has nginx running on version 1.27.2

[sagnikundu]

As per this official documentation of Nginx Ingress Controller : https://docs.nginx.com/nginx-ingress-controller/technical-specifications/
Nginx version for nginx ingress controller 3.7.2 is 1.27.2

Our Nginx controller deployment :
[aws::prod::us-east-1 (c01-us-1::oci)]$ kdpo ci-nginx-services-2bczc | grep -i image:
Image: <ecr_url>/ci-nginx-ingress:3-7-2_1.123.0@sha256:1234567890

[aws::prod::us-east-1 (c01-us-1::oci)]$ k exec -it ci-nginx-services-2bczc -- bash
bash-5.1$ nginx -v
nginx version: nginx/1.27.2

The latest binary version of Nginx Ingress Controller (from above link) is 5.1.0 , here the nginx version is 1.27.5

Nginx 1.27.2 has reached EOL support (https://endoflife.date/nginx)
We are being flagged by security , and they are suggesting to plan for update if our nginx version is below 1.28
How should we handle this ?

Thanks.

NGINX 1.29 will be available in an upcoming release of NGINX Ingress Controller. We are still not certain of the date for the release, we will post an update here once we know more.

@sagnikundu Do you build your own NGINX Ingress Controller container?

At the time of NIC release 3.7.2 NGINX 1.27.2 was the proxy version available.

@sagnikundu NGINX Ingress Controller v5.1.1 released last week which contains NGINX v1.29.1. I am hoping this helps resolve your requirement.
