I am having difficulty in understanding the rewrite annotation in k8s ingress. Can someone please help me in understanding it with an example.
For Eg:
annotations:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /I checked this Link out but it's still not very clear how the slashes and arguments work out here.
Thanks !
Please refer to this stackoverflow post, this will be helpful for you.
In this post you can see that hostname/api points to backend service, and the rewrite actually makes the url to get converted from hostname/api to hostname.
Rewrite comes handy when frontend and backend services are to be mapped to one hostname only
