=  Securing ingress traffic

[role="_abstract"]
There are many security implications related to how you configure access to your Kubernetes services from outside of your {product-title} cluster.
 
In addition to exposing HTTP and HTTPS routes, ingress routing allows you to set up `NodePort` or `LoadBalancer` ingress types. NodePort exposes an application's service API object from each cluster worker. LoadBalancer lets you assign an external load balancer to an associated service API object in your {product-title} cluster.
