Description: Ingress traffic in Kubernetes refers to the flow of data entering a cluster from external sources, such as users, applications, or services interacting with the applications deployed in the cluster. This traffic is fundamental for the operation of applications, as it enables communication between users and the services running in the Kubernetes environment. In Kubernetes, ingress traffic is managed through resources like Ingress Controllers, which act as entry points for external requests. These controllers allow defining routing rules, authentication, and load balancing, facilitating traffic management and enhancing the security and efficiency of the cluster. Additionally, ingress traffic can be monitored and scaled according to needs, enabling organizations to adapt to changes in service demand. Proper management of ingress traffic is essential to ensure optimal performance and a smooth user experience, especially in applications requiring high availability and scalability.
