Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
By modifying the haproxy.config global template ConfigMap in the openshift-ingress namespace.
Why it's wrong here
Modifying HAProxy templates directly is unsupported and unnecessary for this task.
- ✓
In the Route resource spec.tls.insecureEdgeTerminationPolicy field set to Redirect.
Why this is correct
Setting insecureEdgeTerminationPolicy to Redirect instructs the router to send a 301 redirect for HTTP requests.
- ✗
In the IngressController custom resource under spec.routeAdmission.wildcardPolicy.
Why it's wrong here
This setting controls wildcard route admissions, not redirection.
- ✗
In the Service resource annotations using route.openshift.io/termination: redirect.
Why it's wrong here
Service annotations do not control router-level TLS redirection.
