Description: The GKE ingress (Google Kubernetes Engine) is a fundamental tool that manages external access to services within a Kubernetes cluster. Its main function is to act as an entry point for user requests, directing them to the appropriate services within the cluster. This is achieved through the configuration of routing rules that allow administrators to define how incoming requests should be handled. GKE ingress supports multiple protocols, including HTTP and HTTPS, making it easier to deploy web applications and cloud services. Additionally, it allows integration with load balancers, enhancing the availability and scalability of applications. Among its most notable features are the ability to manage SSL certificates to secure communications, the possibility of defining routing rules based on host or path, and integration with other cloud tools for more efficient resource management. In an environment where agility and security are paramount, GKE ingress becomes an essential solution for companies looking to optimize access to their cloud applications and services.
