I’m setting a RKE cluster in an EC2 AWS instances, but I have a problem trying to set up a nginx ingress controller sometimes I got error when try to access it. the architecture I have is this:
The instance #1 it just a nginx server that perform a load balancer in each node, The # 2 and # 3 are a RKE node both has those roles: - controlplane - worker - etcd
I have deployed two services/deployments. I trying to setup a nginx ingress controller to redirect the traffic to each service according to the path, but sometimes I just got 504 Gateway Time-out and others one load correctly. using hey to make a small load test I see that almost the 50% got the 504 error. Status code distribution: [200] 102 responses [504] 98 responses
Debugging the nginx-ingress controller I see that one of them seems not reach the service, I think for that reason sometimes I got 504 error but I don’t know why.

My theory is that ingress-controller can’t reach the service in the other node for that I got the 504 Error, but As far as I know a service can accessed by any node in the cluster. someone knows what could happens here?
Thanks,
