Ingress vs Load Balancer

I am quite confused about the roles of Ingress and Load Balancer in Kubernetes.

As far as I understand Ingress is used to map incoming traffic from the internet to the services running in the cluster.

The role of load balancer is to forward traffic to a host. In that regard how does ingress differ from load balancer? Also what is the concept of load balancer inside kubernetes as compared to Amazon ELB and ALB?
