I am trying to configure a hello world application using ingress in GKE. I have been referring a GCP official documentation to deploy an application using Ingress.

Deploying an app using ingress

But this does not work i have tried to refer several documents but none of those work. I have installed the ingress controller in my kubernetes cluster.

kubectl get svc -n ingress-nginx returns below output

kubectl get pods-n ingress-nginx returns

Ingress resource yml file used

So I have installed Ingress-controller and used ingress controller ip as the host in my ingress file.

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: ingress-resource
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: "nginx"
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: "false"
spec:
  rules:
  - host: "35.232.139.102.nip.io"
    http:
      paths:
      - pathType: Prefix
        path: "/hello"
        backend:
          service:
            name: hello-app
            port:
              number: 8080

Issue here was I forgot to add the IP from which I was accessing the application. When you create a GKE cluster there will be a firewall with the cluster-name-all in this firewall you will need to add your IP address of the machine from which you are trying to access the application. Also ensure that the port number is also exposed in my case both were not provided hence it was failing.
