Can I create a load balancer with path based routing in GKE

Question

Is it possible to create a GKE load balancer with path based routing? Although Ingress with public endpoint supports this , Can I do this with for a loadbalancer with private endpoint?

Answer 1

Yes, it's possible.

Note that you simply will use the internal Load balancing (ILB) for GKE that makes a private LoadBalancer Ingress ip within the cluster for receiving traffic inside a similar VPC region.

In addition, since you need to configure it using path-based routing, take into account the following:

• It must be an Ingress, not a Service.

• Install an NGINX/Traefik IngressController.

• Expose it with an ILB Service.

• Add Ingresses whose annotations solely specify they must produce an NGINX/Traefik Ingress entry.
