Red Hat supports the following services for an external load balancer:

* OpenShift API
* Ingress Controller
* OpenShift API
* OpenShift MachineConfig API

You can choose whether you want to configure one or all of these services for an external load balancer. Configuring only the Ingress Controller service is a common configuration option. To better understand each service, view the following diagrams:

You can choose to configure one or both of these services for an external load balancer. Configuring only the Ingress Controller service is a common configuration option.
