Kubernetes Ingress Vs NodePort: Choosing The Right Traffic Control
Ingress vs NetworkPolicy: Ingress provides HTTP/HTTPS routing & domain-based routing, while NodePort exposes a service on each node's port, but lacks advanced features like TLS termination or path-based routing.
Last article we talk about the two main traffic control in Kubernetes: Ingress and the NetworkPolicy. However for expose to external this point, I want to make a comparision here, and also give more Ingress examples. Comparision Ingress: Designed to provide HTTP/HTTPS routing to services within the cluster. It allows you to define rules for mapping hostnames (e.g., hello.com) and paths (e.g., /app) to specific services, making it suitable for scenarios requiring domain-based routing or TLS termination. NodePort: Exposes a service on a specific port of each node in the cluster. It all...
