<p>I have a AKS cluster running in Azure and have deployed Dapr runtime into it along with a few other test service deployments that are annotated with dapr.io/enabled, dapr.io/id.</p>
<p>A Daprd side-car container instance co-locates within the same pod as each service so all is good there.</p>
<p>I then installed NGINX with the Dapr side-car annotations however I do not see a Daprd container instance co-located within the same pod as the NGINX container.</p>
<p>I followed <a href="https://carlos.mendible.com/2020/04/05/kubernetes-nginx-ingress-controller-with-dapr/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this article</a> to deploy NGINX with Dapr annotations applied through dapr-annotation.yaml file</p>

<p>NGINX does not have a side-car but has annotations...</p>

<p>The issue was related to changes to the Helm chart format to the following.</p>

<p>As a result of that change I now see the Darp side car on NGINX ingress controller as expected.</p>
