Ingress

Ingress is a mechanism that manages and controls external access to applications and services running within private infrastructure or a cluster, such as Kubernetes. It acts as a gateway, routing HTTP and HTTPS traffic from outside the organization’s network to the appropriate internal services based on configurable rules. Ingress enables features like URL-based routing, load balancing, SSL/TLS termination, and name-based virtual hosting, allowing multiple applications to be securely exposed through a single entry point. This approach simplifies network management, centralizes configuration, and enhances security by consolidating how external clients reach internal resources.
