This page shows how to create an External Load Balancer.
{{< note >}}
This feature is only available for cloud providers or environments which support external load balancers.

When creating a service, you have the option of automatically creating a
cloud network load balancer. This provides an externally-accessible IP address
that sends traffic to the correct port on your cluster nodes

To create an external load balancer, add the following line to your
[service configuration file](/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#loadbalancer):
```json
"type": "LoadBalancer"
```yaml
type: LoadBalancer

Your configuration file might look like:

## Preserving the client source IP
Due to the implementation of this feature, the source IP seen in the target
container will *not be the original source IP* of the client. To enable
container is *not the original source IP* of the client. To enable
preservation of the client IP, the following fields can be configured in the
service spec (supported in GCE/Google Kubernetes Engine environments):
* `service.spec.externalTrafficPolicy` - denotes if this Service desires to route
external traffic to node-local or cluster-wide endpoints. There are two available
options: "Cluster" (default) and "Local". "Cluster" obscures the client source
options: Cluster (default) and Local. Cluster obscures the client source
IP and may cause a second hop to another node, but should have good overall
load-spreading. "Local" preserves the client source IP and avoids a second hop
load-spreading. Local preserves the client source IP and avoids a second hop
for LoadBalancer and NodePort type services, but risks potentially imbalanced
traffic spreading.
* `service.spec.healthCheckNodePort` - specifies the healthcheck nodePort
(numeric port number) for the service. If not specified, healthCheckNodePort is
created by the service API backend with the allocated nodePort. It will use the
user-specified nodePort value if specified by the client. It only has an
effect when type is set to "LoadBalancer" and externalTrafficPolicy is set
to "Local".
* `service.spec.healthCheckNodePort` - specifies the health check nodePort
(numeric port number) for the service. If not specified, `healthCheckNodePort` is
created by the service API backend with the allocated `nodePort`. It will use the
user-specified `nodePort` value if specified by the client. It only has an
effect when `type` is set to LoadBalancer and `externalTrafficPolicy` is set
to Local.
This feature can be activated by setting `externalTrafficPolicy` to "Local" in the
Service Configuration file.
Setting `externalTrafficPolicy` to Local in the Service configuration file
activates this feature.

### Feature availability
| K8s version | Feature support |
| :---------: |:-----------:|
| 1.7+ | Supports the full API fields |
| 1.5 - 1.6 | Supports Beta Annotations |
| <1.5 | Unsupported |
Below you could find the deprecated Beta annotations used to enable this feature
prior to its stable version. Newer Kubernetes versions may stop supporting these
after v1.7. Please update existing applications to use the fields directly.
* `service.beta.kubernetes.io/external-traffic` annotation <-> `service.spec.externalTrafficPolicy` field
* `service.beta.kubernetes.io/healthcheck-nodeport` annotation <-> `service.spec.healthCheckNodePort` field
`service.beta.kubernetes.io/external-traffic` annotation has a different set of values
compared to the `service.spec.externalTrafficPolicy` field. The values match as follows:
* "OnlyLocal" for annotation <-> "Local" for field
* "Global" for annotation <-> "Cluster" for field

It is important to note that the datapath for this functionality is provided by a load balancer external to the Kubernetes cluster.
When the service type is set to `LoadBalancer`, Kubernetes provides functionality equivalent to `type=<ClusterIP>` to pods within the cluster and extends it by programming the (external to Kubernetes) load balancer with entries for the Kubernetes pods. The Kubernetes service controller automates the creation of the external load balancer, health checks (if needed), firewall rules (if needed) and retrieves the external IP allocated by the cloud provider and populates it in the service object.
