Kubernetes Ingress by ngrok simplifies ingress with the Kubernetes Operator, using Ingress Controller or Gateway API, by offloading traffic management and security to ngrok’s global network. It ensures high performance and availability by routing traffic to the nearest Point of Presence (PoP) with a preconfigured global load balancer. Kubernetes Ingress standardizes connectivity across IoT devices in external networks without custom protocols. It operates a global network that accepts traffic to upstream services from clients. Clients connect to endpoints (URLs) configured with policies such as authentication or transformation. Unlike traditional proxies, Kubernetes Ingress doesn't rely on IP forwarding. Instead, a lightweight agent connects securely to ngrok's network, allowing traffic to flow through this secure connection to the service, providing comprehensive security and functionality for various use cases.
