The problem

I have a kubernetes cluster installed with a loadbalancer which gives me an external IP, but when i try to reach the IP address i get an timeout...

this only happens when i try to acces a service through the ingress, when exposing the service directly with a loadbalancer i get direct response.

Current setup

I have had another question about making the cluster here, maybe there is some info in there that can be used to add on this question.

My ingress file

apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: dev-ingress
  annotations:
     kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
spec:
  rules:
  - http:
      paths:
      - path: /
        backend:
          serviceName: httpd
          servicePort: 80

My service file

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  creationTimestamp: "2020-02-18T19:37:44Z"
  labels:
    app: httpd
  name: httpd
  namespace: development
  resourceVersion: "513069"
  selfLink: /api/v1/namespaces/development/services/httpd
  uid: a0b54ecf-6481-4047-b242-6a6c76df4e70
spec:
  clusterIP: 10.99.124.218
  ports:
  - port: 80
    protocol: TCP
    targetPort: 80
  selector:
    app: httpd
  sessionAffinity: None
  type: ClusterIP
status:
  loadBalancer: {}

Situation explained

When i do kubectl port-forward <pod-name> 80 and then curl localhost:80 I get a response from the httpd service with the default "It works!" page.

Retrieving the external ip from the loadbalancer

$ kubectl get ing
NAME          HOSTS   ADDRESS            PORTS   AGE
dev-ingress   *       <my external IP>   80      18h

Pinging the exposed IP address by the loadbalancer

$ ping <my external IP>

Pinging <my external IP> with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.

Edit

logs of the ingress-controller pod. (there are no new logs as soon as i ping or curl the external ip)

$ kubectl logs -f nginx-ingress-controller-5d7fc968df-992zf -n ingress-nginx
