Why is default load balancer port 80 and 443 is considered as TCP ports? I want to test stickiness as shown in the aws docs either through yaml file or through aws console.

I was using nginx ingress and moved to default load balancer to test stickiness but I see the error Stickiness options not available for TCP protocols

I even tried specifying protocol https but it doesn't accept. It only allows "SCTP", "TCP", "UDP".

    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Service
    metadata:
      name: httpd
      labels:
        app: httpd-service
      namespace: test-web-dev
   spec:
     #type: LoadBalancer
      selector:
        app: httpd
      ports:
        - name: port-80
          port: 80
          targetPort: 80
        - name: port-443
          port: 443
          targetPort: 443
        - name: port-1234
          port: 1234
          protocol: TCP
          targetPort: 1234

When I try ingress, I disable the service type Loadbalancer above

nginx-ingress-lb-service.yml:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: tcp-services
  namespace: ingress-nginx
data:
  1234: "test-web-dev/httpd:1234"
