Ocelot API Gateway implementation in AKS

I'm creating AKS cluster, and I want to use API gateway (Ocelot ) to route, and authenticate requests towards containers(microservices) behind the gateway. My question is how to achieve this? I know I must deploy ocelot API gateway inside node, but I don't know how will I configure all traffic to go through API gateway. Can't find an example or directions that could help me. What steps do I need to take? Or is there maybe a better way of accomplishing the desired scenario?

If you use Ocelot as an API Gateway, you must create a .NET project with a configuration file for the routes you want to use. You then deploy this with a Deployment inside your cluster along with the containers running your APIs and front your API Gateway with a ClusterIP service. At this point, you should test internally if the calls are routed properly from the ClusterIP to the API Gateway and to your APIs. You can then expose your API Gateway on the Internet using either a Load Balancer service, an Ingress controller or Azure Application Gateway.

Another way is not to use an Ocelot API Gateway at all by using an Ingress controller and configuring the routes directly in it.
