I have a Kubernetes cluster with a backend service and a security service. The ingress is defined as follows:
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: solidary-life
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.global-static-ip-name: sl-ip
certmanager.k8s.io/acme-http01-edit-in-place: "true"
ingress.kubernetes.io/force-ssl-redirect: "true"
ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: "true"
labels:
app: sl
spec:
rules:
- host: app-solidair-vlaanderen.com
http:
paths:
- path: /v0.0.1/*
backend:
serviceName: backend-backend
servicePort: 8080
- path: /auth/*
backend:
serviceName: security-backend
servicePort: 8080
tls:
- secretName: solidary-life-tls
hosts:
- app-solidair-vlaanderen.com
The backend service is configured like:
apiVersion: apps/v1beta1
kind: Deployment

Now I can go to the url's:
Sometimes this works, sometimes I get 404's. This is quite annoying and I am quite new to Kubernetes. I don't find the error.
Can it have something to do with the "sl" label that's on both the backend and security service definition?
Yes. At least that must be the start of the issue, assuming all your services are on the same Kubernetes namespace. Can you use a different label for each?
So, in essence, you have 2 services that are randomly selecting pods belonging to the security Deployment and the backend deployment. One way to determine where your service is really sending requests is by looking at its endpoints and running:
kubectl -n <your-namespace> <get or describe> ep
