  • Reduce cost by ~$18/month per cluster. Typhoon AWs clusters now use one network load balancer
  • Listen for apiserver traffic on port 6443 and forward to controllers (with healthy apiserver)
  • Listen for ingress traffic on ports 80/443 and forward to workers (with healthy ingress controller)

Affect on Ingress

  • Users may keep using CNAME records to ingress_dns_name and the nginx-ingress addon for Ingress (up to a few million RPS)
  • Users with heavy traffic (many million RPS) should create a separate NLB(s) for Ingress instead
  • Output worker http and https target groups to allow for custom load balancing

Affect on Worker Pools

  • Worker pools no longer include an extraneous network load balancer

Overall, there are no changes to variables or outputs. Typhoon AWS clusters support the same features as before, but are cheaper to run.

Made possible by moving kube-apiserver from 443 to 6443 in #248

* Simplify clusters to come with a single NLB
* Listen for apiserver traffic on port 6443 and forward
to controllers (with healthy apiserver)
* Listen for ingress traffic on ports 80/443 and forward
to workers (with healthy ingress controller)
* Reduce cost of default clusters by 1 NLB ($18.14/month)
* Keep using CNAME records to the `ingress_dns_name` NLB and
the nginx-ingress addon for Ingress (up to a few million RPS)
* Users with heavy traffic (many million RPS) can create their
own separate NLB(s) for Ingress and use the new output worker
target groups
* Fix issue where additional worker pools come with an
extraneous network load balancer
