The use of that is optional and it works perfectly fine to replace Nginx with another Ingress Controller, as needed. 

Usage Engine and Network Resources 

An overview of how networking resources can be used by Usage Engine is illustrated below. Note that this is only an example, and that this can depending on the implemented solution and on cloud environment specifics. 

Usage Engine and Network Resources

We distinguish between network of the Usage Engine platform itself and the solutions implemented on it using ECDs. Note that there is no built-in network level separation on traffic between these kinds of network traffic, although it is possible to achieve this through configuration in the environment
