Kubernetes Ingress Uses

Ingress refers to the process of routing external traffic into the Kubernetes cluster. In other words, it is the entry point for incoming traffic to the services running within the cluster.

Kubernetes provides a basic Ingress resource that allows you to define rules for how traffic should be routed from external sources to your services. An Ingress controller is responsible for implementing these rules.

The basic Kubernetes Ingress API has been superseded by the newer Gateway API, which provides a more comprehensive, unified, and standardized API for managing traffic into and out of a Kubernetes cluster.
