Wait, wait, so reverse proxy functionality is available in ASP.NET? If I'm deploying an app to a K8s cluster, I assume I would still opt for an ingress rather than making my app handle that bit of functionality? Where's the cutoff here? Also, how do I handle discovering what ASP.NET offers in terms of functionality? Is there an overview somewhere that I missed?

RP has nothing to do with any programming language or framework, if a web server exists, you can put a reverse proxy in front of it. In this case, asp.net core has a built-in web server named Kestrel. IIS can be used as a reverse proxy so you can have IIS forward requests to web servers bound to local host. Personally, I think its quite hilarious that you went straight to k8's. The vast majority of asp.net code is running on servers (bare metal or otherwise).

  Thank you! > Personally, I think its quite hilarious that you went straight to k8's. I work in a production environment with some 1.5mil loc that runs in a k8s cluster, so that's what I know. I'm not sure which reverse proxy we use in our ingress. I'd have to check with devops.

    Isn't k8s ingress itself the reverse proxy?
