S4E30 - Kubernetes Ingress Controllers Explained: Traffic Routing & Load Management | Pithoracademy
In this episode of Pithoracademy’s Deep Dive Podcast, we uncover one of Kubernetes’ most powerful networking features — the Ingress Controller. If you're exposing services to the internet, managing routes, or handling HTTPS traffic, this episode is essential.
Ingress Controllers allow you to efficiently manage external access to your services, perform routing based on host/path, and consolidate your load balancing strategy — all declaratively.
🎧 We covered:
🌍 What is an Ingress Controller in Kubernetes?
🧠 Core concept for beginners: centralized traffic entry point into your cluster
❓ Why use Ingress instead of multiple NodePorts or LoadBalancers?
📌 Key reasons to adopt Ingress: clean routing, TLS termination, traffic control
⚠️ Impact of not using Ingress: exposed ports, poor maintainability, security risks
🧪 Real-world examples: API gateway routing, custom domains, multi-path apps
⚙️ How Ingress Controllers work with Ingress objects, backend Services, and annotations
🔩 Key components: NGINX, HAProxy, Traefik, IngressClass, annotations
✅ Best practices for securing, scaling, and monitoring Ingress Controllers
🎯 Final takeaway for DevOps, SREs, and developers deploying customer-facing apps
