The goal is to install <strong>Kong Ingress Controller (KIC)</strong> in a Kubernetes cluster, verify that <strong>Kong Gateway</strong> is working properly, and prepare the external exposure of the proxy so that we can publish applications from the cluster itself.</p> <p>To keep the lab simple, I will use a single virtual machine created with <strong>Vagrant</strong> on which I will run a <strong>k3s</strong> cluster. This choice does not change the way Kong works, but it allows us to focus on what really matters: what KIC installs, why the proxy service initially appears in <code>Pending</code>, and how to solve that with <strong>MetalLB</strong>.</p>
