### NGINX Ingress controller changes in Kubernetes v1.21
:::note
For Kubernetes v1.21 and up, the NGINX Ingress controller no longer runs in hostNetwork but uses hostPorts for port 80 and port 443. This was done so the admission webhook can be configured to be accessed using ClusterIP so it can only be reached inside the cluster.
For Kubernetes v1.21 and up, the NGINX Ingress controller no longer runs in hostNetwork by default. It instead uses hostPorts for port 80 and port 443, so you can configure the admission webhook to be accessible only through the ClusterIP. This ensures that the webhook is only accessible from within the cluster.
Because of this change to the controller, the default behavior no longer sets `hostNetwork` to `true`. However, you must set `hostNetwork` to `true` for TCP- and UDP-based Services to work.

### Specify a hostname to use
## Specify a hostname to use
If you use this option, ingress routes requests for a hostname to the service or workload that you specify.
If you use this option, Ingress routes requests for a hostname to the service or workload that you specify.
1. Enter the **Request Host** that your ingress will handle request forwarding for. For example, `www.mysite.com`.
1. Enter the **Request Host** that your Ingress controller will handle request forwarding for. For example, `www.mysite.com`.
1. Specify a path of type `Prefix` and a specify a path such as `/`.
2. Add a **Target Service**.
3. **Optional:** If you want specify a workload or service when a request is sent to a particular hostname path, add a **Path** for the target. For example, if you want requests for `www.mysite.com/contact-us` to be sent to a different service than `www.mysite.com`, enter `/contact-us` in the **Path** field. Typically, the first rule that you create does not include a path.

4. Enter the **Port** number that each target operates on.
### Certificates
## Certificates
:::note
You must have an SSL certificate that the ingress can use to encrypt/decrypt communications. For more information see [Adding SSL Certificates](../encrypt-http-communication.md).
