Hi,

I am beginner to Kong. We are trying to implement open source gateway for our enterprise and chose Kong OS.

We have installed Kong on on-prem kubernetes (RKE) which installed Kong gateway and ingress-controller. Could anyone please direct me to any documentation on how to create service and routes like we do in traditional Kong deployment. Thanks in Advance.

Hi Ragunath,

Some details can be found here:

> **[Open-Source API Management and Microservice Management](https://docs.konghq.com/kubernetes-ingress-controller/1.1.x/guides/getting-started/#basic-proxy)**
>
> Secure, Manage & Extend your APIs or Microservices with plugins for authentication, logging, rate-limiting, transformations and more.

This will walk through deploying an simple echo app and exposing it as the route path /foo on the Gateway.

This architecture info may also help: [Kubernetes Ingress Controller Design - v1.1.x | Kong - Open-Source API Management and Microservice Management](https://docs.konghq.com/kubernetes-ingress-controller/1.1.x/concepts/design/)

The Ingres rule = Kong route  
Kubernetes Service = Kong service & upstream  
Kubernetes pod = Kong targets
