Hi,  
i am a beginner with k8s and ingress. I tried to set the client-max-max-body-size of the nginx with the annotation [nginx.org/client-max-body-size](http://nginx.org/client-max-body-size) at the load balancer but it dont seem to work .

What do i wrong ?

I used [https://github.com/nginxinc/kubernetes-ingress/tree/master/examples/customization](https://github.com/nginxinc/kubernetes-ingress/tree/master/examples/customization)

Use this annotation

> [nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size:](http://nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size:) 50m

Were you able to get it working with the annotation above? If so can you provide details on the config file you generated?

Add this in ingress (Load Balancing) annotation in UI or YAML

[https://github.com/rancher/ingress-nginx/blob/master/docs/user-guide/annotations.md](https://github.com/rancher/ingress-nginx/blob/master/docs/user-guide/annotations.md)

```
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  annotations:
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/proxy-body-size: 50m
  name: lb-app-name
spec:
  rules:
  - host: app.com
    http:
      paths:
      - backend:
          serviceName: sv-app-name
          servicePort: 80
        path: /
```
