How To Enable SSL on Google Kubernetes Engine while using ingress-nginx? - kubernetes

Question

I am using GKE with ingress-nginx (https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/). I tried many tutorials using cert-manager but was unable to learn it.
Could you give me a yaml file as an example if you are able to get SSL working with ingress-nginx in google kubernetes engine?

You have said you're using nginx ingress, but your ingress class is saying gce:
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: echo-ingress
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "gce"
You have not indicated which ClusterIssuer or Issuer you want to use. cert-manager issues certificates only after you tell it you want it to create a certificate
I am unsure what tutorials you have tried, but have you tried looking at the cert-manager docs here: https://cert-manager.io/docs/
