Could somebody write up the steps of setting up HTTP Load Balancing with Nginx Ingress Controller for Google Kubernetes Engine?

I followed this GKE tutorial for a basic Ingress. It got a Forwarding Rule in Load Balancing tab in the end. I guess if I want to delete that Load Balancer, I will need to use Nginx Ingress Controller?

I looked at this Nginx Ingress GKE tutorial, but I don't know how to combine those two tutorials to make the "Hello-app" work without a Load Balancer.

I. If you are using GKE ingress controller

1)

  kubectl run web --image=gcr.io/google-samples/hello-app:1.0 --port=8080

2)

kubectl expose deployment web --target-port=8080 --type=NodePort

3)

cat <<EOF > ./ingress.yaml
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: nginx
spec:
  backend:
    serviceName: web
    servicePort: 8080 
EOF

4)

kubectl apply -f ingress.yaml

5) Wait up to 5 minutes until GKE apllies firewall rules for your ingress

6) Curl your web app

curl $(kubectl get ingress nginx | awk 'NR==2{print $3}')

II. If you want to do it with nginx ingress controller

1)

  kubectl run web --image=gcr.io/google-samples/hello-app:1.0 --port=8080

2)

kubectl expose deployment web --target-port=8080 --type=NodePort

3)

helm install stable/nginx-ingress

4)

cat <<EOF > ./ingress.yaml
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
  name: nginx-ingress
spec:
  backend:
    serviceName: web
    servicePort: 8080
EOF

5)

kubectl apply -f ingress.yaml

6)

curl $(kubectl get svc |grep nginx-ingress-controller|awk '{print $4}')
