At the time of writing this book, there is no native way in Kubernetes 1.10 to support Ingress integration in AWS CloudProvider yet (ideally with application load balancer). Alternatively, kops provides addons that allow you to do so. The first one is ingress-nginx (https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/tree/master/addons/ingress-nginx), which is powered by nginx (https://nginx.org) and AWS Elastic Load Balancer. The requests will go through ELB to nginx, and nginx will dispatch the requests, based on the path definition in Ingress. Another alternative is running skipper as kubernetes-ingress-controller (https://zalando.github.io/skipper/dataclients/kubernetes). Kops also provides add-ons to help you deploy and leverage skipper and AWS Application Load Balancer (https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/tree/master/addons/kube-ingress-aws-controller).

We're expecting CCM and Amazon EKS (https://aws.amazon.com/eks/) to provide more native integration for Ingress via AWS Application Load Balancer, and there will be more to come!
