The pathType field specifies how a request path is matched against paths in an Ingress rule. It controls whether matching is exact, element-by-element prefix matching, or delegated to the Ingress controller. section 12.2.2
Choose among three supported values:
- Prefix compares path elements separated by /, rather than treating the rule as a simple character string. Thus /foo matches /foo/bar but not /foobar. section 12.2.2
Route exact and prefix paths
An Ingress can route /quote exactly to the quote service while routing /questions and paths beneath it to the quiz service. The manifest uses pathType: Exact for /quote and pathType: Prefix for /questions.
When multiple paths match a request, an Exact path takes priority. Matching remains case sensitive, and a trailing slash does not change Prefix matching. section 12.2.2
