Learn Kubernetes: A Deep Dive

Configure Host-Based and Path-Based Routing

Explore how to deploy multiple applications with ClusterIP services and configure a Kubernetes Ingress object to manage host-based and path-based routing. Understand how to route traffic efficiently using a single load balancer and adjust DNS to resolve hostnames to services within your cluster.

We'll cover the following...

In the upcoming lessons, we'll deploy two apps and a single Ingress object. The Ingress will route traffic to both apps via a single load balancer. This can be a cloud-based load balancer or localhost on a local cluster.

We’ll complete all the following steps:

  1. Deploy an app called shield and front it with a ClusterIP Service (backend) called svc-shield.

  2. Deploy an app called hydra and front it with a ClusterIP Service (backend) called svc-hydra.

  3. Deploy an Ingress object that creates a single load balancer and routing rules for the following hostnames and paths:

    • Host-based: shield.mcu.com >> svc-shield

    • Host-based: hydra.mcu.com >> svc-hydra

    • Path-based: mcu.com/shield >> svc-shield

    • Path-based: ...
