Documents how to front the SAIA/SLIM NodePorts with a bring-your-own enterprise load balancer (TLS termination, health checks, and a separate SLIM backend pool) as a replacement for the SSH-bastion SOCKS tunnel access path.

Distinguishes L4 (NLB) vs L7 (HAProxy/ALB) backend/routing behavior,
adds single-node cluster guidance, splits SAIA/SLIM health checks,
clarifies TLS termination vs mixed-content constraints, and adds
nonstandard listener port notes across onboarding/verification steps.

Cloud L4 load balancers don't uniformly support TLS termination (GCP's
Network LB and Azure Load Balancer are pure passthrough), so scope the
generic "cloud NLB" examples to AWS NLB specifically. Also soften the
SOCKS-tunnel framing (it's the correct approach for single-engineer
setup, not a flaw), tone down "supported and validated" to "recommended
deployment pattern," and add a reverse link from k0s-readme.md's Service
Template section back to this guide.
