Pro Tips

Install an Ingress controller (nginx, traefik, etc.) first - Ingress resources need a controller to function.

Use cert-manager with Let's Encrypt for automatic TLS certificate management.

Set 'nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: "true"' to force HTTPS redirect.

Common Mistakes

Ingress controller choice matters - they have different features and annotation names.

Test Ingress rules carefully - incorrect paths can expose internal services or block legitimate traffic.
