A Practical Guide to Kubernetes

Sequential Breakdown of the Process

Explore the step-by-step process of creating and managing Kubernetes Ingress resources. Understand how the Ingress controller configures load balancing and routes requests to multiple applications, ensuring external access and effective traffic management within the cluster.

We'll cover the following...

Let’s see what happens when we create an Ingress resource.

  1. The Kubernetes client (kubectl) sends a request to the API server requesting the creation of the Ingress resource defined in the go-demo-2.yml file.

  2. The ingress controller is watching the API server for new events. It detects a new Ingress resource.

  3. The Ingress controller configures the load balancer. In this case, it is nginx that modifies nginx.conf with the values of all go-demo-2-api endpoints.

Now that one of the applications is accessible through Ingress, we should apply the same principles to the other application.

Creating a second ingress resource

Let’s understand the definition first and ...
