Provision SSL Proxy for Kubernetes LoadBalancer in GKE – How to Guide

google-cloud-platformgoogle-kubernetes-enginekubernetes

When I use type: LoadBalancer on a GKE service, the controller provisions a TCP load balancer. Is it possible to have an SSL proxy (targetSslProxy) with it? Note that the application layer protocol is not HTTP, so I do not want an ingress.

Best Answer

No, GKE controllers only use HTTP(S) load balancers for ingress and network load balancer (L4) for service type loadbalancer.
