Kubernetes Part 11 | Ingress TLS & HTTPS Explained | Secure Applications with Kubernetes

Описание: In this video, we learn how to secure Kubernetes applications using TLS and HTTPS with Ingress.

In the previous video, we configured Ingress routing using paths like /app1 and /app2. But the traffic was still using HTTP.

In this part, we take the next step and enable secure HTTPS communication by configuring TLS certificates in Kubernetes Ingress.

We will cover:
• What TLS and HTTPS mean in Kubernetes
• How Kubernetes stores certificates using Secrets
• How Ingress uses TLS to secure traffic
• A hands-on demo using Docker Desktop Kubernetes

By the end of this video, you will understand how to secure traffic between the browser and Kubernetes applications


🔐 Quick Note
In Kubernetes, HTTPS is configured using a TLS Secret that stores the certificate and private key.

tls.crt → TLS certificate
tls.key → private key

Ingress references this TLS Secret to serve secure HTTPS traffic.

Small note

The Kubernetes community is gradually moving toward the Gateway API for advanced traffic management, but Ingress-NGINX is still widely used for learning and demonstrations.
