Does AWS Load Balancer have a cert-manager within?
I thought at the beginning that such certificate would then expire, but I have seen cert-manager is within ALB code https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/aws-load-balancer-controller/blob/main/config/certmanager/certificate.yaml so that makes me hesitate about it.

Creating Network Load Balancer (SG supported) with AWS Load Balancer Controller
Detailed behavior changes can be found in the release notes for version 2.6.0 of the AWS Load Balancer Controller. https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/aws-load-balancer-controller/releases The key points include:
-
Network Load Balancer now supports security groups
If you are using Kubernetes, you can enable security groups on your NLB by using AWS Load Balancer controller version 2.6.0 or later. Enabling NLB security groups using the controller enhances the nodes' security, as inbound rules can be simplified by referencing the NLB security groups. It also provides scaling improvements, as the controller keeps a constant number of security group rules per cluster.

Ingress controller confusion
Yes. Google's ingress controller talks to the GCP API and spins up an HTTP LB for you. The AWS LB Controller handles provisioning ALB's for you. And ... I guess other clouds exist too but these are the ones I am familiar with.
-
Can I create HTTPS listeners on an ALB without SSL termination
NLB don't support weighted target groups and for some reason are extremely slow when adding instances o removing them from target groups, which makes deployments a bit meh (old instances and new instances can be receiving traffic at the same time for up to 2 mins)

Trace & Observe Modern Apps using AWS X-Ray
The AWS X-Ray daemon is a core software application that listens for traffic on UDP port 2000. It gathers raw segment data and relays it to the AWS X-Ray API. The daemon needs to work in conjunction with the AWS X-Ray SDKs and must be running so that the data sent by the SDKs can reach the X-Ray service. The X-Ray daemon is an open-source project that you can follow on GitHub. See more details of the AWS X-Ray daemon here.
