TLS termination

TLS termination means decrypting HTTPS traffic at the cluster's entry, at the Ingress controller, which then forwards the traffic to the Pods. The certificate and its key are stored in a TLS-type Secret referenced by the Ingress; a tool such as cert-manager can renew them.

Example

tls:
  - hosts: [app.example.com]
    secretName: app-tls
