Hello. I’m looking to install AWX via the Helm chart in EKS and I’m having trouble with installing it with “ingress\_type: route” . My goal is to terminate TLS at the Pod and instantiate a AWS ALB to facilitate TLS encryption from client to the pod.  
Whenever I set “ingress\_type: route” the AWX pod never launches. The moment I set “ingress\_type: ingress” it starts up as expected.  
Is there a prerequisite to using “ingress\_type: route” ? Or is there another way to ensure point-to-point TLS encryption?

Here is my values.yml file.

Ingress type ‘route’ is applicable for OpenShift Kubernetes version only, that’s the reason it wouldn’t work on EKS.

Thanks
