I'm frustrated that the Helm chart only supports a single ingress for the entire cluster (cluster.ingress.opensearch), with no way to route traffic to specific node pools.
In production, master nodes should not receive client traffic - they need to focus on cluster state management. Both AWS and Elastic recommend this separation:
AWS: "Master instances do not directly receive any traffic that you send to Amazon ES."
Elastic: "Configure all master-eligible nodes to be dedicated master-eligible nodes which only have the master role."
Currently, I have to create separate Ingress resources outside the Helm chart to expose only data/coordinating nodes, which breaks GitOps workflows.
What solution would you like?
Add the ability to configure ingress per nodePool, or allow specifying target nodePools in the existing ingress configuration.
Manually creating Ingress resources targeting nodePool-specific services (e.g., my-cluster-data). This works but requires managing resources outside the Helm chart.
Using a service mesh to control traffic routing, but this adds unnecessary complexity for a simple routing requirement.
Do you have any additional context?
The operator already creates separate Services per nodePool, so the backend infrastructure is already in place.
This aligns with the recent addition of dedicated coordinator nodes (Enable coordinator nodes #1200), which are typically the preferred target for client traffic.

Option A: Per-nodePool ingress
Option B: Target nodePools in cluster ingress
