# EKS NLB Service

> AWS EKS NLB Service. Exposes a Kubernetes Service through a Network Load Balancer, forwarding TCP and UDP traffic to pods at layer 4.

## Coverage by target cloud

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

## Mapping and limitations

An EKS NLB Service exposes Kubernetes service ports through a layer-4 load balancer. On private Kubernetes, MetalLB or the configured cluster load balancer supplies the external address. The cluster needs an address pool and network routing for that address. AWS NLB annotations and AWS target-group management are not portable Kubernetes Service settings.

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