 If your cluster is not accessible to outside world you can update your hosts file to verify the ingress controller is working.
 
 ```sh
-sudo echo "${BOOTSTRAP_INGRESS_NGINX_LB} ${BOOTSTRAP_DOMAIN} homer.${BOOTSTRAP_DOMAIN}" >> /etc/hosts
+echo "${BOOTSTRAP_INGRESS_NGINX_LB} ${BOOTSTRAP_DOMAIN} homer.${BOOTSTRAP_DOMAIN}" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
 ```
