Cloud Native web applications consist of multiple services, and often, those [services](/service/) need to be accessible over the internet for users to visit using their browser.

To make these services user accessible while using [Kubernetes](/kubernetes/) to run this application, we need to expose each application service to the outside world.

The most straightforward way would be to use a Kubernetes Load Balancer Service.

Creating such a Kubernetes Load Balancer Service results in a new component on the underlying infrastructure.

It is up to the cluster operators where the web app runs to choose a specific Ingress controller from a set of possible technologies like Nginx, Traefik, HAProxy, etc.

So now, if an application consists of multiple services, the user can access it using a single URL.
