How to Set Up Nginx Ingress Controller with SSL/TLS on Kubernetes
The Nginx Ingress Controller serves as a single entry point for Kubernetes clusters, handling SSL/TLS termination, load balancing, and path-based routing via Nginx. A technical guide published on DEV Community walks through installing the controller using Helm, deploying two sample applications behind it, and securing them with HTTPS. The setup uses cert-manager alongside Let's Encrypt to automatically issue free SSL certificates, while also covering the option to import commercial certificates. Prerequisites include a Kubernetes cluster with at least two nodes, kubectl, the Helm package manager, and a registered domain name. Once configured, both applications become accessible over HTTPS through a single shared Ingress controller.
