ELB names for Kubernetes on AWS

Question

Exposing service with type LoadBalancer works fine. But the name given to ELB is very long and gets difficult to keep a track of which loadbalancer belongs to which service.

Is it possible to specify the name of the ELB object at service creation time?

Answer 1

The tags of the ELB contain the information you're looking for.

$ aws elb describe-tags --load-balancer-names xxxxx
{
    "TagDescriptions": [
        {
            "LoadBalancerName": "xxxxx",
            "Tags": [
                {
                    "Value": "default/nginx",
                    "Key": "kubernetes.io/service-name"
                },
                {
                    "Value": "my-cluster",
                    "Key": "KubernetesCluster"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}
