A common non-functional requirement that gets built into apps and services is authentication and authorization. On a small scale, this practice adds a manageable amount of complexity that’s acceptable when the app doesn’t require frequent updates. But with faster release velocities at larger scale, integrating authentication and authorization into your apps becomes untenable.
In this video, Technical Marketing Engineer Amir Rawdat shares how you can offload this functionality to an Ingress controller to achieve better security and more efficient use of resources.
