Nothing in the paragraph indicates it’s shared. Also: it might be shared in the implementation but you will still be billed for every single https LB that you use (or an NLB if you’re doing tcp load balancing).

Every unique kubernetes ingress resource WILL spin up a NEW, uniquely billed Https LB. Every unique kubernetes service with specific annotations will spin up a NEW, unique LB (internal or external). The author is correct.

You are not billed by the "load balancer", you are billed by the "forwarding rule" which makes it very obvious that the infrastructure is shared and that you will have additional costs with every K8S ingress.
