Use Ingress In Minikube

Source: https://kubernetes.world

At the beginning

With minikube addons enable ingress we can easy to get started with Ingress in Minikube. We can resolve the host name set in Ingress on the local name server to use it more comfortably. It’s also easy to use nginx-ingress-controller instead of Minikube’s standard Ingress Controller, which is more comfortable with a custom Cluster Add-on. If you are using Ingress in production, you want to use Ingress to verify the operation on your local Minikube.

To use Ingress, you need an Ingress Controller that configures L7 LB based on the created Ingress object. For example in GKE, there is an Ingress Controller that controls the Google Cloud Load Balancer (GCLB), and the GCLB is set according to the definition of the Ingress object. The local cluster created by Minikube, of course, does not have L7 LB.

Minikube provides a feature called addons that allows you to manage add-ons such as Kubernetes Dashboard, heapstar, and kube-dns. One of the add-ons is , nginx-ingress-controller that uses nginx as L7 LB of Ingress is provided, so you can easily start using Ingress.
