Kubernetes Ingress Controller is a component within a Kubernetes cluster that manages the routing of external traffic to the appropriate services running inside the cluster. Ingress is an API object that defines how to route external HTTP and HTTPS traffic to services based on rules specified in the Ingress resource.
An Ingress Controller is responsible for fulfilling the rules specified in one or more Ingress resources. It watches the Kubernetes API for new or updated Ingress objects and updates the underlying load balancer or proxy accordingly. The controller ensures that incoming traffic is routed to the appropriate backend services based on the host and path specified in the Ingress rules.
