Ingress returning 404 even though Pods are healthy? π€ This is a classic Kubernetes interview + production trap. A user hits: π http://example.com/app β Service is running β Pods are healthy β Still getting 404 Not Found So whatβs actually wrong? The request never matches the Ingress rule. In this case, the Ingress was configured with: path: /application pathType: Exact But the client requested /app. Because Exact paths must match character-by-character, Kubernetes correctly returns 404 β even though everything behind it is fine. β The fix Use the correct path and a safer match type: path: /app pathType: Prefix Now any request starting with /app is routed correctly to the backend. π‘ Key takeaway (important for interviews): If you see 404 at the Ingress level, donβt touch the app first. Always verify path + pathType β most issues live there. π Real-world Kubernetes troubleshooting like this is covered in my Kubernetes Zero to Interview-Hero series. πΊ Free on YouTube β TechWorld With Sahana #Kubernetes #Ingress #DevOps
