Ingress on AWS EKS | Ingress vs Load Balancer | K21Academy

➤ You deploy an application on your Kubernetes Cluster but how do you expose it to the outside world?
Well, 𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫 ​comes to the rescue.

📌 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫?
➥ An Ingress is a high-level abstraction responsible for allowing a simple host or URL-based HTTP routing. It is in short an intelligent, Layer-7 load balancer.
➥ But, one thing to keep in mind is that it doesn’t eliminate the need for an external Load Balancer.

📌 𝐋𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐋𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞:
➥ As the name suggests, these are responsible for the efficient distribution of network or application traffic across multiple applications.

📌 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐖𝐒 𝐄𝐊𝐒 (𝐄𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐊𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞):
➥ Network Load Balancer: It is a type of load balancer that can handle millions of requests per second! And it makes the routing decisions at the transport layer (TCP/SSL).
➥ Application Load Balancer: It is a type of load balancer that supports path-based routing. And it makes routing decisions at the application layer (HTTP/HTTPS).

🤔 Confused?
➥ Kubernetes LoadBalancer just points to external load balancers which do not reside in your cluster.
➥ Ingress on the other hand is just a set of rules that your controller actively listens to.

Excellent tutorial, I followed using GCP GKE and it worked fine... Thanks

[georgelza]

question, was this done from a newly created EKS cluster, from some other YT videos I got the impression there was some IAM roles etc that needed to be configured? this question is extended to the usage of https... you don't mention/cover how that was enabled, what needed to be done to have that capability/certificate etc,

[behumanfrst]

cool, awesome!.
Question: I want to have LB with custom name and not default name, can you please help the steps to make that changes. e.g. I want LB name: eks-rtf-dev-lb

Excellent tutorial! Where could I get the documentation that is explained in the video?
