Overview
Kubernetes is an open-source platform for scaling containerized workloads across a fleet of machines. It can intelligently schedule work only onto hosts that have the CPU and memory resources needed to run a given container. The challenge is that containers within a Kubernetes cluster typically communicate over a private overlay network. How should you expose services within the cluster to external clients? The answer is to bring the power of HAProxy to Kubernetes. The HAProxy Ingress Controller is the most efficient way to route traffic into a Kubernetes cluster.
Highlights
- Simplify your infrastructure by routing ingress traffic using one IP address and port. Requests are routed to the correct pod based on the Host header and request path
- Balance traffic among pods using any of HAProxy's load-balancing algorithms including round-robin, least connections, URL hash and random.
- Secure your cluster with built-in SSL termination, rate limiting, and IP whitelisting

Pricing
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before it ends, access to these entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
Dimension | Description | Cost/month |
|---|---|---|
hap_ic_instance | One instance of HAProxy Enterprise Ingress Controller | $366.00 |
Dimensions summary
This listing uses a single pricing dimension billed per instance of the HAProxy Enterprise Ingress Controller. You pay for each instance you run under a contract commitment. Pricing scales directly with the number of instances you deploy, so adding more instances increases your total cost proportionally. There are no separate tiers or usage add-ons to choose from. Each instance routes external traffic into Kubernetes clusters and includes the same set of routing, load balancing, and security capabilities, so you select quantity based on how many instances your deployment needs.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
An instance is a single running deployment of the HAProxy Enterprise Ingress Controller inside your Kubernetes cluster. It acts as a proxy that routes external traffic to your services. Each running controller you deploy counts as one billable instance, no matter how many requests it handles.
No. Billing is based on the count of running instances, not on traffic. One instance can handle tens of thousands of requests per second at the same price. Your cost changes only when you add or remove instances, not when request rates rise or fall.
Each instance includes routing and load balancing for HTTP(S), TCP, and gRPC traffic, plus an embedded web application firewall. You also get SSL/TLS termination, global rate limiting, and a rootless container design. These features come with the instance without a separate subscription.

Fast, Predictable HAProxy with Transparent L4/L7 Load Balancing
Reviewed on Nov 11, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about HAProxy is that it's fast, predictable, and very transparent. You get excellent L4/L7 load balancing, detailed health checks, stick tables for rate limiting and session persistence, and a runtime API for changing backends without reloads. The config is also plain text, so it fits cleanly into Git and Terraform/Salt workflows.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest gripe is that it's config-heavy and unforgiving. The syntax has its own quirks, and a small mistake in ACL ordering or use_backend rules can silently route traffic somewhere unexpected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nothing serious so far
