Kubernetes - Ingress
Why might an Ingress resource fail to route traffic even if the YAML is correct?
AThe service port number is set to 0
BThe Ingress resource name is too long
CThe pod labels do not match the service selector
DNo Ingress controller is installed in the cluster
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand Ingress controller role
An Ingress resource requires an Ingress controller to implement routing rules.
Step 2: Evaluate other options
Service port 0 is invalid but unrelated to Ingress routing; pod labels affect service but not Ingress directly; resource name length is not a routing factor.
Final Answer:
No Ingress controller is installed in the cluster -> Option D

Quick Trick:Install an Ingress controller to enable routing [OK]
