Spec score 6.7 #23 of 28 in Kubernetes Ingress Controllers

Spec sheet

Purpose
OpenNJet KIC is a Kubernetes Ingress Controller built on OpenNJet proxy for cloud-native traffic management.Read 8 Oct 2026 · njet.org.cn
Deployment
The project README describes deploying KIC to Kubernetes using manifests, including namespace, service account, ConfigMap, IngressClass, custom resources, RBAC, Deployment and NodePort service.Read 8 Oct 2026 · gitee.com
Support
The maker's page lists [email protected] and [email protected] mailing lists and QQ technical discussion group 607280080.Read 8 Oct 2026 · njet.org.cn
License
The project repository displays an Apache-2.0 license.Read 8 Oct 2026 · gitee.com
Access logs
Access-log settings, including whether logging is enabled and the log file path, can be set per application or globally through an njet-config ConfigMap; per-application settings take priority.Read 7 Oct 2026 · njet.org.cn
ADC integration
KIC can register service domains, application pools and a virtual server with an ADC, which can act as the KIC service's front-end load balancer.Read 8 Oct 2026 · njet.org.cn
Cross-namespace routing
Ingress and VirtualServer configurations can route across Kubernetes namespaces.Read 8 Oct 2026 · njet.org.cn
Distribution
The maker links to the OpenNJet KIC user manual and source code from the release article.Read 7 Oct 2026 · njet.org.cn
Dynamic changes
TCP and UDP proxy configuration updates use APIs and avoid reloading OpenNJet.Read 8 Oct 2026 · njet.org.cn
Dynamic TCP and UDP
TCP and UDP proxy configuration can be updated dynamically without reloading OpenNJet.Read 7 Oct 2026 · njet.org.cn
Health checks
TransportServer resources support active TCP health checks that can bring backends online or offline based on check results.Read 8 Oct 2026 · njet.org.cn
HTTP headers
KIC can modify client request headers and proxied-service response headers, including custom and HTTP-standard headers.Read 7 Oct 2026 · njet.org.cn
Ingress processing
Ingress and VirtualServer custom resources can be divided among KIC instances by IngressClass to reduce the configuration load handled by each instance.Read 8 Oct 2026 · njet.org.cn
Ingress scaling
Its sharding mechanism assigns Ingress and VirtualServer resources to KIC instances by IngressClass to reduce the configuration load handled by each KIC type.Read 7 Oct 2026 · njet.org.cn
Port constraints
Ports 80, 443, 12001–12004, 8080, and 8081 are reserved for proxying, control-plane, upstream, status, or readiness functions and cannot be used by proxied services.Read 7 Oct 2026 · njet.org.cn
Protocols
It supports TCP, UDP and WebSocket proxying.Read 8 Oct 2026 · njet.org.cn

Source access
The maker's site links to the KIC source repository on Gitee.Read 8 Oct 2026 · njet.org.cn
Traffic management
It provides dynamic locations, host and path routing, load balancing, dynamic upstreams, canary releases, TLS termination and SNI, TCP and UDP proxying, and WebSocket support.Read 7 Oct 2026 · njet.org.cn
Worker configuration
A ConfigMap can dynamically change the NJet worker-process count, with allowed values from 1 to 512 and an automatic CPU-core-based default.Read 7 Oct 2026 · njet.org.cn
Worker limit
The worker-processes setting accepts values from 1 to 512 and defaults to auto based on CPU core count.Read 8 Oct 2026 · njet.org.cn
