Kubernetes - Ingress
You need to expose two Kubernetes services, web and api, externally using a single IP address with URL paths / and /api respectively. Which resource should you create and why?
ACreate two LoadBalancer services, one for each service, each with its own external IP.
BCreate an Ingress resource with path-based routing rules directing traffic to each service.
CCreate a NodePort service for each and configure external DNS to route traffic.
DUse a ClusterIP service and rely on internal routing only.
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Requirement Analysis
Expose multiple services externally on one IP with different URL paths.
Step 2: Evaluate Resource Types
LoadBalancer creates separate IPs per service; NodePort exposes on node ports but no path routing; ClusterIP is internal only.
Step 3: Use Ingress
Ingress supports path-based routing on a single external IP, directing traffic to different services based on URL paths.
Final Answer:
Create an Ingress resource with path-based routing rules directing traffic to each service. is the correct choice.
Quick Check:
Ingress enables path routing on one IP [OK]
Quick Trick:Ingress supports multiple paths on one IP [OK]
Common Mistakes:
Using multiple LoadBalancers increases IP usage
Assuming NodePort handles path routing externally
Using ClusterIP for external exposure
