Ingress, TLS & Auto-Scaling Lab
Transform TaskFlow into a production-ready application with external access via Ingress, HTTPS/TLS security, and automatic scaling. Install Nginx Ingress Controller, configure path-based routing, generate TLS certificates with cert-manager, and implement HPA for dynamic scaling under load.
Lab Overview
Expose TaskFlow to the internet using Nginx Ingress Controller 1.12+, secure with TLS certificates, and implement horizontal pod autoscaling. Master production exposure patterns, certificate management, and automatic scaling based on metrics.
