Answer from AI
The Ingress component in OpenShift is responsible for managing external access to services within the cluster. It provides rules for routing HTTP and HTTPS traffic to the appropriate services based on URLs, hosts, and other parameters.
Ingress is used for:
- Providing a single entry point into the cluster.
- Configuring request routing to different services.
- Managing SSL/TLS certificates for secure connections.
Thus, Ingress simplifies the organization of access to applications running in OpenShift without the need to open multiple individual ports.
