Migrating services from a NLB load balancer with a Yandex Managed Service for Kubernetes cluster as a target to an L7 ALB load balancer
You can migrate load from a Yandex Network Load Balancer to a Yandex Application Load Balancer. The network load balancer is used as part of the NGINX Ingress controller within a Yandex Managed Service for Kubernetes cluster. The cluster itself creates network load balancer objects as per the provided manifests and monitors the load balancer's target group consisting of the VMs from that cluster's node groups.
During the migration, an L7 load balancer with an active Yandex Smart Web Security security profile will be created using the Application Load Balancer ingress controller.
Warning
Do not modify or delete the network load balancer and its child resources created using Managed Service for Kubernetes via the Yandex Cloud interfaces (the management console, Terraform, CLI, or API). This may cause incorrect operation of the cluster.
Here is how an L7 load balancer with a security profile works:
You can create a service migration infrastructure using the following tools:
- Management console: Use the Yandex Cloud management console to create your infrastructure step by step.
- Terraform: Streamline creating and managing your resources with the infrastructure as code (IaC) approach. Download a Terraform configuration example and deploy your infrastructure using the Terraform Yandex Cloud provider.
