S4E31 - Kubernetes Ingress Security: TLS & SSL Explained for Secure Traffic | Pithoracademy


Listen Later

In this episode of Pithoracademy’s Deep Dive Podcast, we focus on securing your Kubernetes workloads using TLS (Transport Layer Security) and SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) with Ingress resources.

TLS is critical to protecting data in transit and establishing trust between users and applications. Whether you're deploying APIs or full-stack apps, learning how to secure ingress traffic is non-negotiable.

🎧 We covered:

  • 🔐 What are TLS and SSL in Kubernetes Ingress?

  • 🧠 Core concept for beginners: encrypting traffic, serving secure apps

  • ❓ Why use TLS/SSL with Ingress instead of insecure HTTP routing?

  • 📌 Key reasons: data encryption, security compliance, trust, SEO benefits

  • ⚠️ Impact of not using TLS: man-in-the-middle attacks, data leaks, untrusted domains

  • 🧪 Real-world examples: HTTPS APIs, secured custom domains, Let's Encrypt automation

  • ⚙️ How TLS/SSL termination works with Ingress Controllers like NGINX and Traefik

  • 🔩 Key components: TLS secrets, certificates, tls block in Ingress YAML

  • ✅ Best practices: auto-renewal, cert-manager, redirect HTTP to HTTPS

  • 🎯 Final takeaway for cloud engineers, DevOps teams, and app security architects
