AWS ALB Ingress Controller deployment strategy

12/27/2021

Infrastructure is deployed with terraform with the exception of ALB which is deployed via the ALB controller. This poses an issue wherein Route53 and WAF (deployed with terraform) depend on the ALB address. Infrastructure deployments are separated into two phases, with the K8s deployment occurring between them so that the ALB can be instantiated prior to the downstream resources that depend on it.

Is there a way to deploy an ALB outside of the ALB controller such that K8s deployments can use it via the existing tags?
