In an Ingress resource, how do you route traffic based on URL paths?

By specifying a `path` and `pathType` in the `http.paths` section

By using the `spec.defaultBackend` field

By setting the `ingressClassName` field

By defining multiple rules with different hostnames

What is the effect of setting `pathType: Prefix` in an Ingress rule?

The path is ignored and all traffic is routed to the default backend

The path must match the request URL exactly

The path is used for TLS certificate selection

The path matches if the request URL starts with the specified path

What is the purpose of an Ingress resource in Kubernetes?

To provide a stable IP address for a set of pods

To encrypt traffic between pods

To define routing rules for external HTTP(S) traffic to Services

To define firewall rules for the cluster

What is the purpose of the `ingressClassName` field in an Ingress resource?

To select which Ingress controller should process this Ingress resource

To define the backend Service for the Ingress

To specify the name of the Ingress resource

To specify the TLS secret for the Ingress

When deploying the NGINX Ingress controller in a cluster, what is a typical first step?

Create a Secret containing the TLS certificate for the controller

Define a default backend Service in the cluster

Apply the official NGINX Ingress controller deployment manifest

Create an Ingress resource that references the controller
