This page describes a general approach for integrating Ingress Controllers with Consul on Kubernetes to secure traffic from the Controller
to the backend services by deploying sidecars along with your Ingress Controller. This allows Consul to transparently secure traffic from the ingress point through the entire traffic flow of the service.
If you are looking for a fully supported solution for ingress traffic into Consul Service Mesh, please visit [Consul API Gateway](/docs/api-gateway) for instruction on how to install Consul API Gateway along with Consul on Kubernetes.
A few steps are generally required to enable an Ingress controller to join the mesh and pass traffic through to a service:
* Enable connect-injection via an annotation on the Ingress Controller's deployment: `consul.hashicorp.com/connect-inject` is `true`.
