Kubernetes ecosystem is seeing adoption across the industry and is on the path to becoming the de-facto orchestration platform on modern cloud service delivery. Kubernetes not only provides primitives for deploying run microservices in the cloud but goes one step further and helps you define interactions and lifecycle for your APIs. The Ingress API in Kubernetes allows you to expose your microservice to the outside world and define routing policies for your north-south traffic (or traffic coming into your virtual data center). We invite Harry Bagdi, Sr. Cloud to discuss in-depth about the design and why of Ingress resource, the benefits of using Ingress to manage your API lifecycle using CI/CD pipelines, and how you can accomplish Ingress using a popular open-source solution, Kong. Kong’s Ingress Controller implements authentication, load-balancing, traffic throttling, transformations, caching, metrics, and logging across Kubernetes clusters.
