Question

A city exposes permits.example.gov and inspections.example.gov with different URL paths and does not want a separate LoadBalancer Service for each hostname. Which Kubernetes object declares host and path HTTP routing typically in front of ClusterIP Services?

Accepted Answer

An Ingress that declares host/path rules implemented by an ingress controller in front of ClusterIP Services. — Ingress is the HTTP map: hosts and paths share front-door capacity instead of one LoadBalancer Service each. Controllers implement those rules, usually toward ClusterIP Services. That is L7 routing inside Kubernetes—not API Gateway’s Domain 3 story.

Answer

A Queue message with HTTP host headers instead of any cluster networking object.

Answer

OCI API Gateway as the in-cluster kube-proxy replacement for this Domain 2 item.

Answer

A NodePort on port 80 for every Pod name individually.
