# Hanzo Ingress

The entry point of a Kubernetes cluster

It terminates TLS, matches the hostname, and forwards to the service behind it. It reads the Ingress resources you already write, so there is nothing new to declare and nothing to inject beside your pods.

What happens at the edge

- It reads what you already wrote01
- Certificates it fetches itself02
- Middleware you compose by annotation03
- Routes change without a restart04
- It can serve the files itself05
- One binary, on the port06

Standard networking.k8s.io/v1 Ingress is the primary source, alongside IngressRoute for the things a plain Ingress can't say, Gateway API, and TOML or YAML from disk. It registers as the cluster's default IngressClass, so an Ingress that names none is still picked up.

Let's Encrypt provisioning and renewal, wildcards included. A new hostname gets a certificate without anyone filing a ticket for one.

Rate limiting, retry with exponential backoff, circuit breaking, compression, header rewriting, IP allowlists, redirects, prefix stripping. Name one in an annotation, or chain several into a named pipeline and name that.

Edit an Ingress and the routing table follows — no reload, no dropped connection. A backend that stops answering health checks is taken out of rotation and put back when it recovers.

The static middleware serves a site export straight from disk or from object storage — pricing.html, docs/index.html, hashed asset chunks, a 404 page. A SPA or a docs bundle needs no pod of its own.

No runtime dependencies. It runs in host-network mode and binds 80 and 443 directly, with every Linux capability dropped except the one that lets it.

Paste and ship

Paste this into any agent. It reads the skill manifest and calls Ingress from there.
