Ingress-nginx

DescriptionInstall

The NGINX Ingress Controller is a solution for managing external access to applications running in a Kubernetes cluster. It acts as a reverse proxy and load balancer, routing traffic from outside the cluster to the appropriate services within. K0rdent, as a multi-cluster Kubernetes management platform, seamlessly integrates with the NGINX Ingress Controller to provide a unified solution for managing ingress across all your clusters. Here's how this integration works:

• Simplified Deployment: K0rdent can automate the deployment and configuration of the NGINX Ingress Controller across your clusters, eliminating manual setup and ensuring consistency.
• Centralized Management: Manage Ingress resources and configurations for all your clusters from the K0rdent control plane, providing a single point of control.
• Policy-Driven Ingress: Leverage K0rdent's policy engine to enforce security and compliance policies for your Ingress configurations, ensuring consistency and best practices.
• Monitoring and Observability: K0rdent integrates with monitoring tools to provide insights into the performance and health of your NGINX Ingress Controllers and the applications they expose
