What is the load balancer in Kubernetes?
A load balancer is one of the most common ways of exposing service. It is divided into two types on the basis of the working environment. These types are Internal Load Balancer and External Load Balancer. The Internal Load Balancer allocates the pods with the required configuration by automatically balancing the load. On the opposite side, the External Load Balancer directs the traffic from the external load to the backend pods.
