Hello peeps.. I just posted this to twitter and wanted to also ask here...
Twitter peeps, I need help.
I have an http://ASP.NET Core Host serving gRPC endpoints up. This host is hosted in Kubernetes behind a nginx-ingress-controller. Ingress Controller terminates HTTPS. For the life of me, I cannot get to the gRPC service endpoints.
I'm hoping to find someone whom I can talk to, or point me at examples. My google-foo for this is failing terribly.
Thanks in advance.

Did you annotate the service with the backend protocol annotation?
a
Copy code
{name: "DOTNET_SYSTEM_NET_HTTP_SOCKETSHTTPHANDLER_HTTP2UNENCRYPTEDSUPPORT", value: "true"},
Hold on.. there is more
Copy code
apps.push(new appInstruction.AppIngressInstructions(`releases-api`, env, 80, true, { "<http://nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol|nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol>": "GRPC" }));
important part is the additional annotation 
{ "<http://nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol|nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol>": "GRPC" }

Okay, is the ingress serving correctly (ie if you use grpccurl does it work
a
I did not annotate the actual 
service
resource.. that annotation above is for nginx ingress rules
b
What exactly isn’t working
?
a
I am trying to use 
grpcui
to connect, and I'm not able to connected to the services
I haven't tried a 
grpccurl
test yet
when I use 
grpcui
against a version of the service running in Visual Studio on localhost, I can connect and invoke methods on the service
I feel it is best to present my basic steps. Hopefully, that is more informative. 1. Create ASP.NET Core GRPC Service. Leave the default greet.proto file in place. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/tutorials/grpc/grpc-start?view=aspnetcore-5.0&amp;tabs=visual-studio 2. 
Install-Package Grpc.AspNetCore.Server.Reflection
3. Add 
services.AddGrpcReflection();
and 
endpoints.MapGrpcReflectionService();
to Startup.cs 4. Run app in Visual Studio 5. Test with 
grpcurl -d '{ \"name\": \"Say Hello\" }' localhost:5001 greet.Greeter/SayHello
Successful response 6. Build and deploy docker image via AzDO Pipelines to private Azure ACR 7. Env var on container
