Kubernetes Ingress: HTTP routing into the cluster

Kubernetes Services expose Pods internally. Ingress exposes HTTP/HTTPS externally with host/path-based routing.

The Ingress Controller (a Pod running nginx, Traefik, etc.) watches Ingress resources and reconfigures itself to route traffic. A Cloud LoadBalancer points to the Ingress Controller's NodePort.
