Network Endpoint Groups (NEGs) emerge as a powerful tool to address this challenge, providing a robust load balancing and service discovery mechanism for containerized applications.

Delving into NEGs: Types and Use Cases

NEGs are essentially groups of endpoints that can be managed as a single entity, simplifying network configuration and traffic management. They come in two primary flavors:

Instance-based NEGs: These NEGs are associated with specific instances, making them ideal for managing services running on a fixed set of machines.

Service-based NEGs: These NEGs are associated with services rather than instances, enabling dynamic load balancing across a pool of instances running the same service.


NEGs excel in various scenarios involving containerized applications. Here are a few examples:

Kubernetes Services: NEGs serve as the underlying load balancing mechanism for Kubernetes services, ensuring efficient traffic distribution across pods.

Microservices Architecture: NEGs facilitate service discovery and communication in microservices architecture, enabling seamless interactions between microservices.

Container Orchestration Platforms: NEGs integrate seamlessly with container orchestration platforms like Docker Swarm and Nomad, providing a robust load balancing and service discovery solution.
