<p>I'm new to openshift and k8s. I'm not sure what's the difference between these two terms, openshift route vs k8s ingress ?</p>

<p>Ultimately they are intended to achieve the same end. Originally Kubernetes had no such concept and so in OpenShift the concept of a <code>Route</code> was developed, along with the bits for providing a load balancing proxy etc. In time it was seen as being useful to have something like this in Kubernetes, so using <code>Route</code> from OpenShift as a starting point for what could be done, <code>Ingress</code> was developed for Kubernetes. In the <code>Ingress</code> version they went for a more generic rules based system so how you specify them looks different, but the intent is to effectively be able to do the same thing.</p>
