Deployment architecture

The common deployment architectures emerging in K8s environment are of single-tier and dual-tier load balancing.

Netscaler with Ingress Controller provides solution for these deployments. The Netscaler ingress controller automates the configuration of Netscaler load balancing microservices in Kubernetes environment.

North-South traffic Load balancing: North-South traffic is the traffic heading in and out of your Kubernetes Cluster. It is the traffic that comes from the client and hits the frontend microservices.

East-West traffic Load balancing: East-West traffic is the traffic from one microservice to another inside the Kubernetes Cluster.

In usual k8s environment the E-W traffic is load balanced by kube-proxy and N-S traffic is load balanced by Ingress load balancer like Netscaler.

The E-W traffic can also be load balanced by Ingress load balancer with E-W Hairpin mode.
