<p>You cannot manually configure LoadBalancer features using the Google Cloud SDK or the Google Cloud console. You must use BackendConfig or FrontendConfig Kubernetes resources.</p>

<p>In simple words, if you are running the <strong>GKE</strong> with <strong>GCE</strong> <strong>ingress controller</strong>, <strong>serviceType</strong> <strong>LoadBalancer</strong> yaml, you have to use the <strong>BackendConfig</strong> or <strong>FrontendConfig</strong> to configure the Load Balancer.</p>
<p><strong>BackendConfig</strong> or <strong>FrontendConfig</strong> is used to configure the <strong>Load Balancer</strong>. Suppose you are looking for <strong>HTTP &gt; HTTPS</strong> <strong>redirect</strong>, <strong>SSL policy</strong> it's not suggested to <strong>set/configure</strong> the from <strong>GCP console</strong> instead use the <strong>YAML</strong> config.</p>
