Kubernetes Ingress Explained for Beginners

In this video we cover Kubernetes Ingress and Ingress controllers. I will help you understand the concepts, with examples so you can try it out yourself and follow along. At the end of this video, you should understand the concepts and have an idea of how to route traffic to multiple services using an Ingress proxy.

Opening all of the videos of yours that I'm watching AFTER watching them in a browser which is logged into YouTube just so I can like them. Thanks man!

[johnwaters]

These Videos have helped me grasp the things I couldn't in lectures! Thank you for all the great videos! Its worth Joining if anyone is on the fence.

I realize this is an old video but it still applies today which is amazing since technology is moving so fast. I would love to see using multiple different ingress controllers in the same namespace to get a better view of using namespaces by environment like dev, model, production or even by business unit. Its possible you already have that in a later video so I'll keep watching. Thank You for your videos. They help!

HI @That DevOps Guy,
I really appreciate your videos.
I think this video is too short and I find a bit of practicality missing compared to your other videos. Installation of the ingress-controller was awesome, but the challenge which I feel including some of them facing is,
1) "For the LoadBalancer how did you manage to get the external IP up as localhost?"
2) "The description of the ingress which you created and its explanation."

I really hope to see a video, on how to set up LB for the local machines or kind cluster which also demonstrates ingress.

Once again, I really love your videos and they are really one of the best available.

Thank you! Thinking of an Ingress Controller like an API gateway really helps me to get an understanding of how Ingress works. Pretty cool and powerful stuff!!

[HXYZZZ]

Excellent video Mercel. Thanks for putting it together. I can refer to this whenever I need to refresh my kubernetes knowledge.

Wonderful session Marcel.traefik is a API gateway, but how do we integrate Authentication and autherization in Traefik .

[_dinesh]

Awesome explanation. Just straight to the point. 👍👍👍👍👍

[danielfclp]

Please show us how to use letsencrypt with ingress controllers.

[vinaykaradia]

Really concise with practical details.

[sethuramanramadass]

Awsum video... so easy to understand. thank you great...

[musicmania]

How do we attach a ALB to ingress controller?

[tonyjoanes]

Another excellent video, keep up the great work

[vladoportos]

but to what IP you would point DNS if you have external cluster, not running on localhost ? Is the ingress bound to single node, or can I use any worker node or controller node ?

[twitchizle]

hello sir, when i create minikube instance it uses docker as a driver and runs in it. i cant access webpage through browser but minikube ssh. how can i handle this?

[jamestaylor]

can we expose/open ports other than 80/443 say like 5671 using any ingress nginx/haproxy/ambassador controller

[pgangula]

Thanks for the video with clear and crisp explanation. In my project, I am using API Gateway, Apigee. How can be my deployment flow when I want to use both Apigee and traefik. I want all external requests to come to my Apigee proxy first

[devopsing]

Awesome. Could you tell us how to secure API endpoints. I mean it is not recommended to expose the endpoints to the public. So is there a way to secure them through ingress controller?

[frankdeng]

What load balancer were you using and how you got the service expose to localhost as external IP?

[NiteshKumar-doen]

Hey one request can you make one video on how to attach a load balancer like nlb in front of our kubernates cluster that can load balance between different nodes
