Ingress Controllers and Resources

This lab teaches you how to work with Ingress controllers and Ingress resources in Kubernetes, essential skills for the CKA exam and managing external access to cluster services.

You'll learn to:

• Deploy the NGINX Ingress Controller using Helm
• Create Ingress resources to expose services externally
• Configure path-based routing to multiple backend services
• Implement host-based routing for different domains
• Set up TLS termination with certificates
• Troubleshoot common Ingress configuration issues

Ingress provides HTTP and HTTPS routing to services based on hostnames and paths, making it essential for exposing applications in production Kubernetes clusters.
