Kubernetes Ingress adds another option, building on top of the base primitives of Kubernetes Services, to provide application layer load balancing for HTTP/HTTPS based services. But exactly what you get and how it works depends on which specific Ingress Controller you are using – and there are a lot of choices!    In the video you’ll learn: - How basic in-cluster ingress load balancers can provide access to services from outside the cluster. - How external application load balancers can be used as an alternative to in-cluster load balancers. - The different service routing modes supported by application load balancers. - The pros and cons of each of the above, to help you understand why you might choose one vs another, depending on your needs and specific cluster environment. Happy watching!   If you enjoyed this video then you may also like: - [Everything you need to know about Kubernetes Services networking](https://wordpress-1075849-4005834.cloudwaysapps.com/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-about-kubernetes-services-networking/) - [Everything you need to know about Kubernetes networking on AWS](https://wordpress-1075849-4005834.cloudwaysapps.com/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-about-kubernetes-pod-networking-on-aws/) - [Everything you need to know about Kubernetes networking on Azure](https://wordpress-1075849-4005834.cloudwaysapps.com/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-about-kubernetes-networking-on-azure/) - [Everything you need to know about Kubernetes networking on Google Cloud](https://wordpress-1075849-4005834.cloudwaysapps.com/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-about-kubernetes-networking-on-google-cloud/) - Free online [training and workshops](https://wordpress-1075849-4005834.cloudwaysapps.com/events/)   [Products](https://wordpress-1075849-4005834.cloudwaysapps.com/tags/products/) Add Tigera as a preferred source on Google to see more of our content in your search results.
