 ### AWS
 
 In AWS we use an Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) to expose the NGINX Ingress controller behind a Service of `Type=LoadBalancer`.
+Since Kubernetes v1.9.0 it is possible to use a classic load balancer (ELB) or network load balancer (NLB)
+Please check the [elastic load balancing AWS details page](https://aws.amazon.com/es/elasticloadbalancing/details/)
+
+#### Elastic Load Balancer - ELB
+
 This setup requires to choose in which layer (L4 or L7) we want to configure the ELB:
 
 - [Layer 4](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model#Layer_4:_Transport_Layer): use TCP as the listener protocol for ports 80 and 443.

+This type of load balancer is supported since v1.9.0 as an ALPHA feature.
