Self Managed ELB (NLB) with AWS EKS

2/19/2021

I have running EKS Cluster in AWS. Now I want to try use my own Network Load Balancer which were created not with AWS EKS annotations.

So my question: Is it even possible to use own NLB with EKS? If yes how can I do it? If not why it is not possible?

I've researched a lot found one opensource kind for EKS named as TargetGroupBinding, I've provided an ARN of my target group however than health checks are failing.

For some providers it is possible, such as Tencent Kubernetes Engine per official documentation -

    metadata:
      name: my-service
      annotations:
        # ID of an existing load balancer
        service.kubernetes.io/tke-existed-lbid：lb-6swtxxxx

However this is not supported for AWS, as in the above link you can see that there is no similar annotation for AWS load balancers.
