A tutorial by Lokesh Jawane explaining how to set up Kubernetes ingress controller using kops (Kubernetes Operations) & Nginx-Ingress. Kops automates the provisioning of Kubernetes clusters in AWS and GCE. Authors like to think of kops as kubectl for clusters.
The Ingress is a Kubernetes resource that lets you configure an HTTP load balancer for applications running on Kubernetes
Managing the multiple load balancer for services deployed on k8s is a difficult job, where k8s itself is a big world. It can be expensive to have multiple load balancers. In this tutorial author uses only single load balancer.
The tutorial then walks you through:
- Creation of namespace, service account, default secret and customization config map
- RBAC configuration
- Ingress controller deployment
- Getting access to ingress controller
- Application deployment
All commands listed and in the tutorial. Links to further resources included. Well done!
