About the real‑world challenges of exposing containerized applications in Kubernetes externally
How NGINX and BGP work together to enable access to Kubernetes services from outside the cluster
About the detailed solution architecture and components
How to implement the solution with complete, step-by-step instructions
There are multiple ways to expose services in Kubernetes to external clients and each of them has its benefits and drawbacks. In addition, the Network and Application teams involved in this process often have different goals and priorities.
In this whitepaper, we explore how to provide external access to the services running in an on‑premises Kubernetes environment by using NGINX and BGP to successfully address the needs of both teams. We discuss the detailed solution architecture and components and share step-by-step implementation instructions to help you deploy the solution.
