35. Kubernetes Ingress Explained with NGINX | Path-Based Routing Demo on Minikube
In this video, we explain Kubernetes Ingress in a simple and practical way with a real NGINX Ingress Controller demo on Minikube.
You’ll understand:
✔ What Kubernetes Ingress is and why we need it
✔ Ingress vs NodePort vs LoadBalancer
✔ What an Ingress Controller actually does
✔ How path-based routing works (/app1, /app2)
✔ How to expose multiple services using one single IP
✔ Common Ingress troubleshooting commands
We use Minikube + NGINX Ingress Controller and deploy two sample apps to show how traffic is routed in real life.
