Why am I unable to connect to a back-end HTTPS service?
Issue description​
Accessing the back-end HTTPS service via an Ingress fails with the "The plain HTTP request was sent to HTTPS port" error.​
Cause analysis​
The Ingress Controller uses the default HTTP protocol to send requests to back-end pods.​
Solution​
Configure the annotation nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol:"HTTPS" in the Ingress resource to change the request protocol from the Ingress Controller to back-end pods to HTTPS.​
