Correct answer: Use GKE Ingress with NEG-backed backend services and the Google HTTPS load balancer.
Why this is the answer
GKE Ingress with NEG-backed backend services and the Google HTTPS load balancer is the best solution. GKE Ingress natively integrates with Google's Global External HTTPS Load Balancer, providing HTTPS termination and path-based routing. Network Endpoint Groups (NEGs) allow the load balancer to directly target GKE pods, enabling per-backend health checks and efficient load distribution. A TCP proxy load balancer would not provide HTTPS termination or path-based routing. An external Network Load Balancer lacks HTTPS termination, path-based routing, and sophisticated health checks. A LoadBalancer Type service provisioning an internal TCP/UDP LB would not offer external access, HTTPS termination, or path-based routing, and its health checks are typically at the instance level, not per-backend pod.
