Networking II: Ingress & Network Policies

Ingress solves HTTP/HTTPS routing: one entry point routing to many backend Services by hostname and URL path, with centralized TLS termination. NetworkPolicy adds explicit allow rules; once any policy

Learning objectives

  • Explain what problem Ingress solves that a LoadBalancer Service per application doesn't scale well for.
  • Explain what a NetworkPolicy actually restricts, and what the default behavior is without one.
  • Design a basic Ingress routing rule and a basic NetworkPolicy for a simple multi-service application.
