+
+## Details
+
+[Network load balancers](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/) such as [MetalLB](https://metallb.universe.tf/) provide a method of externally exposing Kubernetes applications. A Kubernetes [LoadBalancer](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/service/#loadbalancer) service creates a network load balancer that provides and exposes an external IP address for connecting to an application from outside the cluster.
+
+With the external IP address exposed, administrators of a Kubernetes cluster can then manage access to applications via an [Ingress](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/ingress/). An Ingress is a Kubernetes API object that manages external access to a cluster's services. The [Ingress-Nginx Controller](https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/) uses [NGINX](https://nginx.org/) as a reverse proxy and load balancer that can load-balance Websocket, gRPC, TCP, and UDP applications.
+
+### Objectives
+
+In this tutorial, you will learn:
+
+- How to install and configure MetalLB
+- How to install and access the Ingress-Nginx Controller
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Installation of Oracle Cloud Native Environment
+  - a single control node and four worker nodes

-All additional packages and customizations to be added to your new custom image are defined using a blueprint. The tool creates your custom composer image based on your blueprint and your chosen image format, ready to deploy on a variety of cloud and bare metal platforms.
