How would you answer an interview scenario involving TLS termination in Ingress?

For an interview scenario involving TLS termination, I would first clarify the business goal, scale, constraints, and the failure or quality attribute the interviewer wants to explore. Ingress controllers commonly terminate TLS at the cluster edge and forward traffic to backend services. In this scenario, a compliance rule requires encryption all the way to application pods. Explain how you would adapt the ingress design. For production, automate certificate issuance and rotation, use modern TLS policy, and use re-encryption or service mesh mTLS when internal threat models require it. I would then explain the main alternatives and tradeoffs, identify likely failure modes, and describe how I would validate the solution through testing, observability, security controls, and recovery or rollback planning.
