What is ingress in Kubernetes?

Question

Could someone tell me what is Ingress in Kubernetes?

Answer 1

Ingress in Kubernetes is an API object that lays out the routing rules to administer the access of external users to the services in a Kubernetes cluster, usually via HTTP/HTTPS.

Ingress helps you in setting up traffic routing rules easily during production environments, and configures and manages different capabilities like content-based routing, authentication, and support for multiple protocols, etc.
