The load balancer acts as a single entry point for the ingress traffic to the exposed services. In Cloud Container Distribution, exposing a service through the load balancer is done with an ingress. An ingress manifest specifies a default backend service with no rules. A relative service with the specified name, including type: NodePort or type: LoadBalancer automatically creates the required external load balancer entries. To expose non-http or non-https access through the load balancer, create an ingress with only the default backend service, with no custom port. The load balancer adds rules for all the ports mentioned in the service manifest.
