<p>It can connect fine whenever I try to access it via the worker node's address, but not when I try access via the ingress gateway. I get the following error:</p>
<pre><code>pymongo.errors.ServerSelectionTimeoutError
pymongo.errors.ServerSelectionTimeoutError: mongo:27017: timed out, Timeout: 30s, Topology Description: &lt;TopologyDescription id: 60119598e7c0e0d52f58c52c, topology_type: Single, servers: [&lt;ServerDescription ('mongo', 27017) server_type: Unknown, rtt: None, error=NetworkTimeout('mongo:27017: timed out',)&gt;]&gt;

<p>This is how I connect to MongoDB via python which works fine when not accessing over the ingress url.</p>
<pre><code>mongo = MongoClient(&quot;mongodb://mongo:27017/user_data&quot;)
</code></pre>
<p>This is my ingress.yaml file</p>
<pre><code>apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1

<p>Any idea's on how to get it to connect via ingress? I guess I need to add mongo to the ingress?</p>
<p>Both services are already exposed via external ip's.</p>
<pre><code>kubectl get svc

<p>Ingress are mostly for HTTP connections, ingress is not option to access mongodb.</p>
<p>You can use the Service type <strong>LoadBalancer</strong> or service type <strong>Node port</strong>.</p>
<p>Ingress controllers(ex Nginx-ingress) can support plain TCP load balancers.</p>
