ngrok Ingress Controller for Kubernetes

The ngrok Ingress Controller for Kubernetes is our official open-source controller for adding public and secure ingress traffic to your k8s services. You can think of the ngrok Ingress Controller as ngrok packaged as an idiomatic k8s controller — deployed via a simple helm chart, configurable via standard k8s Ingress object, and compatible with k8s best practices.
