AWS Load Balancer Controller is a controller to help manage Elastic Load Balancers for a Kubernetes cluster. It satisfies Kubernetes Ingress resources by provisioning Application Load Balancers. It satisfies Kubernetes Service resources by provisioning Network Load Balancers. This project was formerly known as "AWS ALB Ingress Controller", we rebranded it to be "AWS Load Balancer Controller". AWS ALB Ingress Controller was originated by Ticketmaster and CoreOS as part of Ticketmaster's move to AWS and CoreOS Tectonic. Learn more about Ticketmaster's Kubernetes initiative from Justin Dean's video at Tectonic Summit. AWS ALB Ingress Controller was donated to Kubernetes SIG-AWS to allow AWS, CoreOS, Ticketmaster and other SIG-AWS contributors to officially maintain the project. The controller watches for ingress events from the API server. When it finds ingress resources that satisfy its requirements, it begins the creation of AWS resources.
Features
- Deletes AWS components when ingress resources are removed from k8s
- Modifies AWS components when ingress resources change in k8s
- Assembles a list of existing ingress-related AWS components on start-up
- Allows you to recover if the controller were to be restarted
- AWS Load Balancer controller supports two traffic modes
- Ingress traffic starts at the ALB and reaches the Kubernetes nodes through each service's NodePort
