Container Engine for Kubernetes now supports OCI network load balancers (NLBs). You can now define Kubernetes services that automatically provision NLBs. Provisioning an NLB for a Kubernetes service of type LoadBalancer enables you to:

• Load-balance traffic among Kubernetes pods with high throughput and low latency.
• Preserve source and destination IP addresses and ports.
• Handle TCP and UDP traffic in the applications you deploy.
