Increasing the usefulness of your Kubernetes Ingress logging
Like most cloud folks you are probably using Kibana + Elasticsearch as part of your log management solution. But did you know with a little regex-fu you can make that logging more interesting?

A Kubernetes Ingress controller is not namespace aware (you can’t have a shared Ingress that has services in multiple namespaces). Or can you? What if…
