# How to Integrate Amazon API Gateway with EKS using Application Load Balancer (ALB)?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-05-02)

According to the [AWS documentation](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/containers/integrate-amazon-api-gateway-with-amazon-eks/), it is possible to integrate Amazon API Gateway with EKS using ALB. However, by far most of this documentation explains how to do this with NLB instead of ALB. So hopefully, someone can explain how to do this with ALB.

For example, do I need to create ingress to enable me calling my services? Or is there another way? How to configure my ALB and my API gateway?
