Right now we use a load balancer to forward traffic to our Nginx Ingress Controller, which has a LetsEncrypt certificate for handling SSL. The LetsEncrypt certificate is managed by Kubernetes. Instead, we could have Nginx run without SSL at all, and install a LetsEncrypt cert on the load balancer directly. We could then change the LB from a TCP route to an HTTP2 (HTTPS) route. This would save SSL processing on the Ingress Controller.
