Create a Kubernetes Ingress#

A Kubernetes Ingress specifies a set of rules that route requests that match a particular <domain>/{path} to a given application. Ingresses are scoped to a single namespace and thus can route requests only to the applications inside that namespace.

  1. Log in to the MKE web UI.

  2. Navigate to Kubernetes > Ingresses and click Create.

  3. In the Create Ingress Object page, enter an ingress name and the following rule details:

    • Host (optional)
    • Path
    • Path type
    • Service name
    • Port number
    • Port name

  4. Generate the configuration file by clicking Generate YAML.

  5. Select a namespace using the Namespace dropdown.

  6. Click Create.
