Why don't REST api gateway and alb connect?

0

I know from the following page that the rest api service and the alb service are not connected.

https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/api-gateway-application-load-balancers

However, I am curious about the specific reason why nlb is connected to the rest API but not to alb.

Hi,

Api Gateway and ALB can be integrated.

See this Knowledge Base article: https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/api-gateway-application-load-balancers

NLB can also be integrated with ApiGateway: https://aws.plainenglish.io/private-integration-between-http-api-gateway-and-nlb-4f3127784287

Best,

Didier

    The first link is the same as the one I attached, where API Gateway and ALB are not connected directly, but through NLB. What I'm curious about is why alb and api gateway are not directly connected.

    That link refers to an integration with a public load balancer. For security reasons, the integration should be private. That is possible only with a HTTP api gateway according to the documentation. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/pdfs/apigateway/latest/developerguide/apigateway-dg.pdf (page 26)

    I have a similar question. Why is not possible to integrate a Rest Api gateway with a private application load balancer?
