  • metallb

    A network load-balancer implementation for Kubernetes using standard routing protocols

  • Have you checked out MetalLB (https://metallb.universe.tf/)? We use it in BGP configuration for Ingress traffic and have no issues with it so far. The same would be achievable with different network plugins (e.g. Calico: https://docs.projectcalico.org/networking/bgp). We have actively decided against an external L5 LB after prolonged planning, as a seamless integration into the kubernetes context was not readily possible. As WAF we use (already provided by the nginx ingress controller) ModSecurity.

  • InfluxDB
