how to create a global load balancer in doks

Posted on November 27, 2024

This post shows how to customize some of the pararameters for the LoadBalancer created but I was willing to know if you can specify other parameters such as the Load Balancer type (such as global instead of regional, or even configuring the number of nodes for the regional one).

Hey there! 👋

To set this up, you’ll need to create regional load balancers for your DOKS clusters and then configure a Global Load Balancer to route traffic to those regional load balancers.

Here’s how you can do it:

Start by creating the regional load balancers for your Kubernetes cluster. You can follow this guide to set it up: 👉 Add Load Balancers to Your Kubernetes Cluster
Once that’s done, you can configure the Global Load Balancer to forward traffic to the regional load balancers.

For a step-by-step walkthrough, check out this video (start at the 6-minute mark for the relevant section): 📹 DOKS Workload Behind Global Load Balancers

Let me know if you have any questions! 😊
