Ingress Controllers and Resources
Deploy Ingress controllers and configure Ingress resources for routing external traffic to services.
Lab Overview
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
