Is it possible to load balance multiple services using a single aws load balancer? If that's not possible I guess I could just use a nodejs proxy to forward from httpd pod to tomcat pod and hope it doesn't lag...
Either way which Loadbalancer is recommended for multiport services? CLB doesn't support mutliports and ALB doesn't support mutliport for a single /
path. So I guess NLB is the right thing implement?
I'm trying to cut cost and move to k8s but I need to know if I'm choosing the right service. Tomcat and Httpd are both part of a single prod website but can't do path based routing.
Httpd pod service
:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: httpd-service
labels:
app: httpd-service
namespace: test1-web-dev
spec:
selector:
app: httpd
ports:
- name: port_80
protocol: TCP
port: 80
targetPort: 80
- name: port_443
protocol: TCP
port: 443
targetPort: 443
- name: port_1860
protocol: TCP
port: 1860
targetPort: 1860
Tomcat pod service
:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: tomcat-service
labels:
app: tomcat-service
namespace: test1-web-dev
spec:
selector:
app: tomcat
ports:
- name: port_8080
protocol: TCP
port: 8080
targetPort: 8080
- name: port_1234
protocol: TCP
port: 1234
targetPort: 1234
- name: port_8222
protocol: TCP
port: 8222
targetPort: 8222
It's done like this: install Ingress
controller (e.g. ingress-nginx
) to your cluster, it's gonna be your loadbalancer looking into outside world.
Then configure Ingress
resource(s) to drive traffic to services (as many as you want). Then you have a single Ingress controller (which means a single Loadbalancer) per cluster.

You can do this, using Ingress controller backing with a load balancer, and use one path / you may make the Ingress tells the backing load balancer to route requests based on the Host header.
