Right now, GKE charges $18/month for a load balancer on top of node costs, which is costly for small scale/personal projects. Will DigitalOcean have anything similar?
- mejamiewilson 8y agoJamie from DigitalOcean here. Currently we'll deploy our DigitalOcean Load Balancer on your behalf, which is $20 a month, but we are also investigating other options. If you have any thoughts on how this should work, or what specifically you'd be looking for, I'd love to hear them.
- lucasyvas 8y agoSpeaking personally, I'd rather opt out of the Load Balancer altogether and instead have a floating IP automatically set up across the workers. Ingresses are easy enough to set up so that would complete the picture. I think having the Load Balancer option is important for simplicity, but I feel a lot of DO customers (such as myself) opt to use DO for optimizing cost as well. It's a balance.
