Working with Kubernetes Services is convenient, especially when you can deploy Load Balancers via cloud providers like AWS. At Qovery, we initially started with Kubernetes’ built-in Network Load Balancer (NLB). However, we decided to move to the AWS Load Balancer Controller (ALB Controller). In this article, I explain why we made this switch and how it benefits our infrastructure. We will discuss the reasons for the transition, the features of the ALB Controller, and provide a guide for deploying it. This shift has helped us simplify management, reduce costs, and enhance performance. By understanding these points, you can decide if the ALB Controller is right for your Kubernetes setup.
