 ## Configure external access using an Ingress in local mode
 
-When using local mode by default a Kubernetes [Ingress](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/ingress/) object is created to access the Grafana instance. This will need to be adapted to your cloud provider by updating the `grafana.ingress` section of the `values.yaml` file provided to Helm. Check the documentation of your cloud provider for available options.
