We created this post to help engineers and architects evaluate the various options for cloud-like network load balancers:

> **[A Cloud-Like On-Prem Load Balancer for Kubernetes? - Netris](https://www.netris.ai/cloud-like-load-balancer/)**
>
> Back in the days when I was responsible for network operations, the load balancer management was under my team’s responsibility too. Every time Linux/Unix OPS were adding or moving application servers–they had to open a ticket to the network team \[…\]

It includes a number of design recommendations as well as a comparison of the most popular options for integrating with Kubernetes.

I hope you all find this useful.
