Question
Use Kubernetes Cluster without Digital Ocean specific Load Balancer

Asked by 1593cefc81a04bb1938085da74bb31
Is it possible to use a Kubernetes Cluster with a custom Nginx load balancer instead of the Digital Ocean load balancer. I need to be able to assign multiple domains to the cluster which isn’t possible with the Digital Ocean load balancer. If it is possible, how would I get static public IP for the cluster? Thanks!

Hey there,
I believe that this is not possible, a Load Balancer is the way to go. You could setup an Nginx Ingress to route traffic from your domains to your back-end services:

The best thing to do to get your voice heard regarding this would be to head over to our Product Ideas board and post a new idea, including as much information as possible for what you’d like to see implemented.
Hope that helps!
