Kubernetes Basics: Exposing a Pod with Service and Ingress

This is a follow‑up tutorial to “Kubernetes Basics: Running Pods”. We’ll take the Nginx Pod you already created and make it accessible both inside and outside your cluster — first with a Service, then with an Ingress so you can use a proper URL.

📋 Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have:

• A running Kubernetes cluster (Minikube, Kind, EKS, GKE, AKS, etc.)
• kubectl configured and working
• The Nginx Pod from the previous tutorial running:

  kubectl get pods nginx-pod
