How Ingress Works | Introduction to Kubernetes

**UPDATE!** A new video, with hands on demonstration for Kubernetes Ingest is now available!

This is a solid introduction to how external traffic is able to reach a Kubernetes cluster!

Thank you so much for watching this brief introduction/explanation of Kubernetes Ingest! We've recently just uploaded a hands-on demonstration from the command line of how this works, along with a bit more information which may be helpful to you! You can check it out here:

5 years ago :). This is still the best explanation of Ingress ever. so simple, so straightforward.

What a legend! I was so confused with this concept, until I saw this video! Thank you!

This is by far the best explanation of ingress and load balancer interaction. You should make more such videos explaining how things really work. 👍

Wow this is amazing. How come this doesn't get more views? Thank you millions for sharing this one!

Correct me if I'm wrong: The combination of node ip and nodeport is used to identify cluster ip and the cluster ip is then used to forward request to the correct pod ip which can be dynamic as pods go down and back up.

This is the best explanation i have found so far, makes total sense now, thanks!

Thank you sir, seemed like a complicated concept, piece of cake with your explanation!

great video with the diagrams. 1 question, the cluster IP address is defined as a Kubernetes service?

[ohvygjc]

Is ”Cluster IP Subnet” referring to “Service IP subnet”? Nice video and explanation of Kubernetes traffic routing in case of external (from the cluster) load balancing.

great explanation! one question though, suppose the load balancer forwards the request to Node A which routes the request to Cluster IP, the pod which is selected by the cluster ip, is it possible that is does not reside on Node A but may be on Node B? Hope I explained my question well!

Ingress word is never used in the video. I think it was too quick and detailed and doesn't motivate ingress and http protocols and rules. It's almost like you just had a 2 hour conversation of ingress with this guy, and this video shows a 2 minute one off discussion on a white board motivating something in the previous two our discussion you had.
