How Acing the Certified Kubernetes Administrator Exam, Second Edition covers it

How deep it goes
Defines exact path matching and demonstrates it in an Ingress manifest, without detailing controller-specific matching internals.
Examples
Uses app.hello.com with an exact "/" route to the nginx Service on port 8080.
What it assumes
Assumes familiarity with Services and introduces path-based routing through an Ingress resource and controller.
What you can do after
Configure an Ingress rule that sends one exact HTTP path to a named Service and port.
How it connects
Connects Ingress pathType with Ingress controllers, HTTP paths, hostnames, Services, and Prefix matching.
