Kubernetes - Ingress
You created an Ingress resource but external traffic is not reaching your service. Which of these is a likely cause?
AThe pod image is missing a label
BThe cluster has no nodes
CThe service port is set to 0
DThe Ingress controller is not installed or running
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Check Ingress controller presence
Ingress resources need an Ingress controller to process rules and route traffic. Without it, Ingress does nothing.
Step 2: Evaluate other options
Pod labels or service ports affect internal routing but won't stop Ingress from receiving traffic. No nodes means cluster is down, but question focuses on Ingress.
Final Answer:
The Ingress controller is not installed or running -> Option D
Quick Check:
Ingress needs controller to route traffic = B [OK]
Quick Trick:Ingress needs a controller running to work [OK]
Common Mistakes:
Ignoring the need for an Ingress controller
Blaming pod labels for external access issues
Confusing service port 0 with Ingress failure
