Ingress Controller Selector
Ingress choices look interchangeable from the outside because every option terminates HTTP and routes to a service. The real differences appear in the policy model, the tenancy model, and how much edge behavior has to be expressed inside the cluster itself. Four conditions above route a cluster to one of five ingress strategies with different operational tradeoffs.

FAQ
What does this tool tell you?

What affects the result most?
Pick a Kubernetes ingress strategy from cluster size, traffic shape, TLS policy, and multi-tenant needs. Browser-only — no data sent.
How should I use the result?
The calculation is deterministic — the same inputs always produce the same output — so the most useful workflow is to vary one input at a time and see which factor moves the result most. That tells you where to focus your attention before committing to a decision.
