Overview

An Ingress resource is a different mechanism for exposing multiple services through a single IP address, and its implementation differs fundamentally from the implementation of ClusterIP, NodePort and LoadBalancer services. Unlike these services, which operate at layer 4, an Ingress operates at HTTP protocol layer (layer 7). An Ingress provides host and path-based routing and is capable of forwarding traffic to multiple services.
