This is a talk given at J on the Beach 2023 in Malaga, Spain.
Talk abstract: At first glance, ingress is an easy concept: you route traffic from the wider world into your cluster. As you layer on SSL and load balancing, the principles stay the same and everything works with minimal thought and effort. But as your infrastructure grows, your clusters grow, the interactions get more complex, and your security requirements explode. In this session, I’ll walk you through how we designed and built an Ingress Controller and have converted our clusters to use it in production to support millions of requests. It wasn’t easy but running it as an open source effort from the start encouraged our team and customers to review, explore, and consider situations outside our original plans.
