Question
Kubernetes External Load Balancer Service

Hi, I’m building a container cluster using CoreOs and Kubernetes, and I’ve seend that in order to expose a Pod to the world you have to create a Service with Type: LoadBalancer. I was wondering how to achieve this with Floating IP. I can’t seem to find any documentation about it.

It seems like there’s no way to directly do it in the kubernetes side. Anyway, I guess you could accomplish it in the cloud provider side. For example, for Openstack, you can associate a floating IP to the VIP of the created Load balancer of the service. https://docs.openstack.org/magnum/ocata/dev/kubernetes-load-balancer.html
You have two options here :
- Make your IP static and hardcode that in Service configuration file
- Make an Ingress controller and define your internal service in ingress, this way your ingress will redirect your traffic to your internal service
I have 3 master with etcd configured. Is there any basic template to use for confd to update haproxy dynamically with server and pod ports?
I note the addition of https://www.digitalocean.com/products/load-balancer/
So… the service is there when k8s wants to support it.
@mateeyow have you found a solution? I am attempting to accomplish something very similar.
