To ensure all outbound calls come from the same IP address (so that it can be whitelist), how do I consider a container/pod to use an external proxy service

Hi there,
To ensure all outbound traffic from your pods in the DigitalOcean Managed Kubernetes comes from a consistent IP address, consider setting up a DOKS Egress Gateway.
This can be achieved using Crossplane and the Static Routes Operator. The process involves configuring a gateway that directs outbound traffic through a specific node, ensuring consistent IP usage for external communications.
A detailed guide and implementation instructions are available in DigitalOcean’s container blueprints on GitHub, specifically in the “DOKS-Egress-Gateway” section.
This approach is particularly useful for scenarios where IP whitelisting is necessary.
For a comprehensive step-by-step guide, you can refer to DigitalOcean’s DOKS Egress Gateway guide on GitHub.
Best,
Bobby
