  A network load-balancer implementation for Kubernetes using standard routing protocols

  

Regarding the service type `LoadBalancer`: The k8s service type `LoadBalancer` is a derivation resource of an external loadbalancer. For managed k8s services, if you create a new service with type `LoadBalancer` a external loadbalancer will be created. The pods that are matching the label selector of the service can then be accessed with the external IP of the LoadBalancer. If you want to setup loadbalancing manually using HAProxy, you can probably deploy the ingress controller with service type `NodePort` instead of `LoadBalancer`. But you could also just deploy MetalLB in your cluster (Read the "Why?" section).
