Forcing ssl for Kubernetes Ingress on GKE

Question

I want to force an SSL upgrade for Incoming traffic on my ingress load-balancer. In case this is not possible can I just disable the port 80? I couldn't find out how to do this in any of the docs.

If you want to block http, you can do it using the annotations kubernetes.io/ingress.allow-http: false or simply redirect http to https by specifying a custom backend. But GCE cannot handle redirection or editing L7 layer directly. Check: https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress-gce#ingress-cannot-redirect-http-to-https
