Kubernetes - Ingress

Given this Ingress snippet:

tls:
  - hosts:
    - myapp.example.com
    secretName: myapp-tls

rules:
  - host: myapp.example.com
    http:
      paths:
      - path: /
        pathType: Prefix
        backend:
          service:
            name: myapp-service
            port:
              number: 80

What happens when a user accesses https://myapp.example.com?

AThe Ingress decrypts TLS and forwards HTTP traffic to myapp-service on port 80

BThe Ingress forwards encrypted TLS traffic directly to myapp-service

CThe Ingress rejects the connection because backend port is 80

DThe Ingress terminates TLS but forwards HTTPS traffic to backend

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand TLS termination in Ingress
The Ingress uses the secret to decrypt HTTPS traffic for the host.
Step 2: Check backend service port and protocol
The backend service listens on port 80 (HTTP), so decrypted HTTP traffic is forwarded.
Final Answer:
The Ingress decrypts TLS and forwards HTTP traffic to myapp-service on port 80 -> Option A
Quick Check:
Ingress decrypts TLS, backend gets HTTP [OK]

Quick Trick: Ingress decrypts TLS, backend usually gets HTTP on port 80 [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Assuming backend receives encrypted traffic
Thinking backend must use HTTPS port
Confusing TLS termination with passthrough
