 Custom annotations enable you to quickly extend the Ingress resource to support many advanced features of NGINX, such as
 rate limiting, caching, etc.
 
+**Note**: Rate-limiting is now available with native annotation support, however this guide is still applicable for other
+NGINX functionalities.
+
 Let's create a set of custom annotations to support
 [rate-limiting](https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_limit_req_module.html):

+# Example
+
+In this example we deploy NGINX or NGINX Plus Ingress Controller, a simple web application and then configure load
+balancing for that application using the Ingress resource with rate-limiting configures via annotaions.
+
+## Running the Example
+
+## 1. Deploy the Ingress Controller
+
+1. Follow the [installation](https://docs.nginx.com/nginx-ingress-controller/installation/installing-nic/installation-with-manifests/)
+   instructions to deploy the Ingress Controller.
+
+2. Save the public IP address of the Ingress Controller into a shell variable:
+
+    ```console
+    IC_IP=XXX.YYY.ZZZ.III
+    ```
+
+3. Save the HTTPS port of the Ingress Controller into a shell variable:
+
+    ```console
+    IC_HTTPS_PORT=<port number>
+    ```
+
+## 2. Deploy the Cafe Application
+
+1. Create the coffee and the tea deployments and services:
+
+    ```console
+    kubectl create -f cafe.yaml
+    ```
+
+## 3. Configure Load Balancing
+
+1. Create a secret with an SSL certificate and a key:
+
+    ```console
+    kubectl create -f cafe-secret.yaml
+    ```
+
+2. Create an Ingress resource:
+
+    ```console
+    kubectl create -f cafe-ingress.yaml
+    ```
+
+## 4. Test the Application
+
+1. Let's test the configuration. If you access the application at a rate that exceeds one request per second, NGINX will
+    start rejecting your requests:
+
+    To get coffee:
+
+    ```console
+    curl --resolve cafe.example.com:$IC_HTTPS_PORT:$IC_IP https://cafe.example.com:$IC_HTTPS_PORT/coffee --insecure
+    ```
+
+    ```text
+    Server address: 10.12.0.18:80
+    Server name: coffee-7586895968-r26zn
+    ...
+    ```
+
+    ```console
+    curl --resolve cafe.example.com:$IC_HTTPS_PORT:$IC_IP https://cafe.example.com:$IC_HTTPS_PORT/coffee --insecure
+    ```
+
+    ```text
+    <html>
+    <head><title>429 Too Many Requests</title></head>
+    <body>
+    <center><h1>429 Too Many Requests</h1></center>
+    <hr><center>nginx/1.25.3</center>
