INGRESS CONTROLLERS

What is a Kubernetes Ingress Controller?

Kubernetes offers multiple ways to route traffic from the outside world to Kubernetes clusters. The most flexible option is to define an ingress resource that declares HTTP/S endpoints and user-defined routing rules. Each ingress resource is associated with an ingress controller responsible for fulfilling those rules within the Kubernetes cluster.

Kubernetes Ingress Controllers Built for Business

A Kubernetes Ingress needs an ingress controller to operate. But not all ingress controllers are created equal, and choosing the right one for your project is key.

At minimum, enterprise-grade ingress controllers should dynamically adjust routing based on your Ingress rules. Additionally, businesses should expect their ingress controllers to simplify deployments, HTTPS certificate management, authN and authZ management, and advanced load balancing, as well as provide middleware customization and 24/7 support.

ARCHITECTURE

The Architecture of Traefik’s Kubernetes Ingress Controller for Business

Traefik Enterprise combines ingress control with API management and service mesh in one simple control plane. The ingress controller installs as one or more pods of controllers, ingress proxies, and mesh proxies in your Kubernetes cluster to automatically discover and update proxy routing configuration.
