title: kubernetes on gke / why a load balancer use is enforced?
body: <p>Made my way into kubernetes through GKE, currently trying out via kubeadm on bare metal.</p>
  
  <p>In the later environment, there is no need of any specific load balancer; using nginx-ingress and ingresses let one serve service to the www.</p>
  
  <p>Oppositely, on gke, using the same nginx-ingress, or using the gke provided l7, you always end up with a billed load balancer.</p>
  
  <p>What's the reason about that, as it seemed not to be ultimately needed ?</p>
