# EKS NLB Service (TLS)

> AWS EKS NLB Service (TLS). A Kubernetes Service exposed through a Network Load Balancer that terminates TLS with an ACM certificate and forwards plaintext to pods.

## Coverage by target cloud

| Target             | Available |
| ------------------ | --------- |
| Google Cloud       | -         |
| Azure              | -         |
| OCI                | -         |
| Private Kubernetes | ✓         |

## Mapping and limitations

This EKS Service adds TLS termination and an AWS certificate reference to an NLB-backed service. On private Kubernetes, the load balancer supplies connectivity and certificate management must use the cluster's TLS configuration. MetalLB assigns addresses; it does not terminate TLS. An ACM certificate ARN cannot be used as the cluster certificate, so configure the certificate and the component that terminates TLS explicitly.

These target services provide the mapping described above, within its stated limits.
