Kubernetes Ingress with NGINX Ingress Controller Example

Ingress in Kubernetes (K8S) is an object that enables access to services within a cluster from outside the cluster. It provides load balancing, SSL termination, and name-based virtual hosting. Traffic routing rules are defined by rules specified on the Ingress resource. To set up Ingress in K8S, you need to configure an Ingress controller, which is typically a reverse web proxy server implementation in the cluster. NGINX is a widely used Ingress controller that works with the NGINX webserver as a proxy. This article provides a step-by-step guide on setting up an NGINX Ingress controller with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
