configure-ingress-networking

Set up production-grade Kubernetes Ingress with NGINX controller, automated TLS certificates, and advanced routing capabilities.

Deploy NGINX Ingress Controller with Helm and configure cloud provider integration.

Expected: NGINX Ingress Controller pods running in ingress-nginx namespace. LoadBalancer service has external IP assigned. Metrics endpoint accessible on port 10254. Health check at /healthz returns 200 OK.

Configure Kubernetes Ingress networking with NGINX Ingress Controller, cert-manager for automated TLS certificate management, path-based routing, rate limiting, and multi-domain hosting with SSL termination and load balancing. Use when exposing multiple Kubernetes services via a single load balancer, implementing path-based or host-based routing, automating TLS certificate issuance with Let's Encrypt, or setting up blue-green and canary deployments with traffic splitting.
