<p>When creating ingress, no address is generated and when viewed from GKE dashboard it is always in the <code>Creating ingress</code> status.
Describing the ingress does not show any events and I can not see any clues on GKE dashboard.</p>

<p>Has anyone has a similar issue or any suggestions on how to debug?</p>

<p>My deployment.yaml</p>

<p>Describing ingress shows no events:</p>

<p>With a simple LoadBalancer service, an IP address is given. The problem is only with the ingress resource.</p>

<p>The problem in this case was I had did not include the addon <code>HttpLoadBalancing</code> when creating the cluster!
My fault but was would have been noice to have an event informing me of this mistake in the ingress resource.</p>

<p>Strange that when I created a new cluster to follow the tutorial cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/tutorials/http-balancer using default addons including <code>HttpLoadBalancing</code> that I observed the same issue. Maybe I didn't wait long enough? Anyway, working now that I have included the addon.</p>
