A 911-related portal’s Ingress objects look correct, yet every external route fails. Controllers and app Pods were not checked yet. What should operators verify early?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If the edge brain is down, perfect Ingress YAML will not save you. Check that the Ingress controller Pods are actually healthy before chasing app bugs for a total route blackout.
Full Explanation
Ingress objects require a live controller to program routing. When all routes fail simultaneously, controller health and availability are a primary check alongside DNS and Service backends. Cordoning all workers, requiring PVCs per hostname, or deleting Services does not restore Ingress control-plane function.
