Adding Ingresses

Ingresses can be added for workloads to provide load balancing, SSL termination and host/path based routing. When using ingresses in a project, you can program the ingress hostname to an external DNS by setting up a Global DNS entry.

  1. In the upper left corner, click ☰ > Cluster Management.

  2. Go to the cluster that you want to add an ingress to and click Explore.

  3. Click Service Discovery  Ingresses.

  4. Click Create.

  5. Select an existing Namespace from the drop-down list.

  6. Enter a Name for the ingress.

  7. Create ingress forwarding Rules. If any of your ingress rules handle requests for encrypted ports, add a certificate to encrypt/decrypt communications.

  8. Optional: click Add Rule to create additional ingress rules. For example, after you create ingress rules to direct requests for your hostname, you’ll likely want to create a default backend to handle 404s.

  9. Click Create at the bottom right.

Result: Your ingress is added to the project. The ingress begins enforcing your ingress rules.
