<p>I have a AWS NLB ingress-controller and an ingress rule which routes traffic between an API and an SPA. The ingress-controller works perfectly on HTTP, but on HTTPS I'm getting a <code>400 Bad request - plain HTTP request sent to HTTPS port</code></p>
<p>If I understand it correctly, after TLS has been terminated the request is being redirected via an Https port rather than HTTP, but I'm struggling to find where:</p>
<p>ingress controller.yaml</p>

<p>I do have deployments behind these, but since the services themselves are working fine independently and in conjunction on http, I've ruled them out as the problem here.</p>
<p>Any advice is greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>I just lost an entire day troubleshooting this and it turned out to be the ports configuration in the Service created by Helm. The targetPort in the https configuration needs to be 80 instead of the reference &quot;https&quot;.</p>
<p>Before:</p>
<pre><code>  ports:
    - name: http
      port: 80
      protocol: TCP
      targetPort: http
    - name: https
      port: 443
      protocol: TCP
      targetPort: https
</code></pre>
<p>After:</p>
<pre><code>  ports:
    - name: http
      port: 80
      protocol: TCP
      targetPort: http
    - name: https
      port: 443
      protocol: TCP
      targetPort: 80
</code></pre>
<p>Here's how your service would look:</p>
<pre><code>apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  annotations:
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-backend-protocol: http
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-connection-idle-timeout: '60'
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-cross-zone-load-balancing-enabled: 'true'
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-type: nlb
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-ssl-ports: &quot;https&quot;
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-ssl-cert: arn:aws:acm:us-east-2:XXX:certificate/XXXXX
