The videos with live troubleshooting are the most useful to my experience.
Thank you for not cutting that out.

I'm trying to get this controller working in Terraform with the AWS, Kubernetes, and Helm providers. Please show more Terraform!

Hi, quick question:
If I uninstall ingress controller after creating ALB in AWS, does the application still get requests ?

Ingress controller is just to create the ALB in AWS ?

[LUONGTO]

hi, I got a little bit confused on this "This allows your NLB to distribute traffic directly to pods, which decreases latency and improves scalability". Can you advise a use case for this? like I got 02 microservices, then I can have 02 deployments & 02 services with type LoadBalancer, is it scenario? then I would have 02 NLBs ?

[jaysistar]

I know that AWS has app mesh, but it would be great if you could show how to use the aws load balencer controller to setup the load balencer to an Istio Gateway, and make sure that your Ingress objects are handled by the Istio Gateway, and not the aws load balencer controller, except the one for the Istio Gateway itself. Can that be a whole video?

Am using kops for my deployment, please how do use kops with aws-elb ingress controller to create load balancer with https

[gautamrajotya]

Can you add one rule to just http listener and other to just https listener ?

[rupy]

Does the controller use Nginx under the hood?

Not well explained and too much distraction discussions. Abstractions deserves better explanation of moving pieces and their interaction.
