Yes, it's not specifically a criticism of kops. Supporting ALB as an ingress controller seems to be the direction, with the coreos contributed code the likely winner.[1]

Thought it worth mentioning though, as the older ELB+k8s isn't great, and because the ALB support hasn't shaken out yet, a cluster created with kops could be suboptimal unless you address it afterwards.

I assume once it all shakes out, kops would support whatever the direction is.
