Summary

Summary

In this chapter, we explored some of the essential functions of Ingress resources and controllers. To be more concrete, we examined almost all those functions that are defined in the Ingress API.

One notable feature we did not explore is TLS configuration. Without it, our services cannot serve HTTPS requests. To ...
