Using NGINX to expose your applications

It’s time to start using NGINX as your ingress controller. We are going to expose your first application using NGINX. To begin, let’s deploy a simple application. To do this, follow the given steps:

1. Create a simple deployment using nginx image with the following command:

   $ kubectl create deploy myapp --image=nginx

This is the same IP as the load balancer created by the ingress controller. When you access your browser, the page https://192.168.0.241.nip.io is going to show the NGINX myapp Deployment, which you have already created. nip.io is a wildcard DNS for any IP address, so with this, you can get a free kind of domain to play with your ingress definitions.
