I'm trying to set up a simple HTTP to HTTPS redirect for traffic going to a Kubernetes cluster. The SSL termination is happening on the ELB. When I try to use the nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect = true it results in an infinite redirect which led me to setting up a config map to handle this (nginx-ingress: Too many redirects when force-ssl is enabled).

Now there seems to be no redirection happening at all.

My ingress service is defined as:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  annotations:
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-backend-protocol: tcp
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-connection-idle-timeout: "3600"
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-proxy-protocol: '*'
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-ssl-cert: arn:aws:acm:...:certificate/...
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-ssl-ports: https

    targetPort: http
  - name: http
    port: 80
    protocol: TCP
    targetPort: http
  selector:
    app: ingress-nginx
  type: LoadBalancer

My config map is defined as:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap

And, the ingress is defined as:
