I found how to do it.

> By default the rasa service is available only within the Kubernetes cluster. In order to make it accessible outside the cluster via a load balancer, update your `rasa-values.yaml` file with the following configuration:

```auto
service:
    type: LoadBalancer

```

Enabling TLS for NGINX (self-signed) To use a self-signed TLS certificate for NGINX, update your rasa-values.yaml with the following NGINX TLS self-signed configuration:

```auto
nginx:
  tls:
    enabled: true
    generateSelfSignedCert: true

```
