Kubernetes - Ingress

An Ingress rule has this path:

- path: /store
  backend:
    service:
      name: store-service
      port:
        number: 80

But requests to '/storefront' are routed to 'store-service'. Why?

APort number must be a string, not a number

BIngress path matching is prefix-based by default, so '/store' matches '/storefront'

CThe service name is incorrect

DIngress matches exact paths only, so this is a bug

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand default path matching
Ingress path matching is prefix-based by default, so '/store' matches any path starting with '/store'.
Step 2: Apply to '/storefront'
Since '/storefront' starts with '/store', it routes to 'store-service'.
Final Answer:
Ingress path matching is prefix-based by default, so '/store' matches '/storefront' -> Option B
Quick Check:
Ingress uses prefix matching by default [OK]

Quick Trick: Ingress paths match prefixes unless specified otherwise [OK]
