Access control is a critical aspect of securing Kubernetes applications.
Whitelisting in Ingress-Nginx allows restricting access based on IP addresses or CIDR ranges.
Steps to add a whitelist include verifying Ingress-Nginx installation, identifying IPs to whitelist, configuring the Ingress Nginx Controller, configuring the Ingress resource, applying the configuration, and testing the whitelist.
Best practices for whitelisting include combining it with HTTPS, using ConfigMaps or Secrets for sensitive configurations, and regularly reviewing and updating the whitelist.
