Single LoadBalancer for multiple services

0 votes

I have these services hosted in my Kubernetes cluster on AWS.

  • An nginx server, on ports 80 and 443.
  • A Minecraft server, at port 25565.

I've set both of them to type:LoadBalancer and hence both of them an elastic loadbalancer. But these loadbalancers are expensive and i was thinking of having a single LoadBalancer for both the services. Is that possible, if yes how?

You could simply use nginx as a proxy for your minecraft server, and forward traffic from ingress port 25565 to the minecraft server. That way all traffic goes through one Service. This way you'll save money for one LoadBalancer.

This is not true. The Minecraft Protocol does not allow redirecting. Nginx Ingress is useless in this scenario
It depends on the requirement. But as we know all instances have an internal connection if they are in the same VPC. So we can only use a single load balancer between these instances.

Hello @Severin Meier

I have gone through the above scenario and it is quite acceptable for me. Could you please provide me with more information about your point of view  so that I can also correlate?
