Load balancer for kubernetes clusters

Question

I need some help configuring my load balancer for my Kube.netes clusters. The internal load balancer works fine. Now, I'd like to expose the service via https and I'm stumped on the Ingress configuration.

Answer 1

First of all, please take in count that whenever any HTTP(S) load balancer is configured through Ingress, you must not manually change or update the configuration of the HTTP(S) load balancer. That is, you must not edit any of the load balancer's components, including target proxies, URL maps, and backend services. Any changes that you make are overwritten by GKE.

So, once that we are aware about the above, We have to know that Ingress for Internal HTTP(S) Load Balancing deploys the Google Cloud Internal HTTP(S) Load Balancer. This private pool of load balancers is deployed in your.network and provides internal load balancing for clients and backends within your VPC. As per this documentation.

Now, we are ready to configure an Ingress for Internal Load Balancer , This is an example about how to configure a simple Ingress in order to expose a simple service.

My suggestion is to try first to implement the first configuration in order to know how an ingress works, and then, try to configure an ingress for GKE as per this documentation.

Let me know if you still having doubts about it or if you need more assistance.

Have a nice day, and stay safe.
