Hello, We have a Kubernetes cluster running on DigitalOcean, and we were wondering if it is possible to configure a single static IP address for all outbound (egress) traffic originating from the cluster. Specifically, we would like all outgoing traffic from pods and services to appear as coming from one fixed public IP address. Could you please let us know: If this is supported on DigitalOcean Kubernetes (DOKS) What the recommended approach would be (e.g., NAT Gateway, Load Balancer, or another solution) Any limitations or considerations we should be aware of Thank you for your help

Hi there,
I think that the new routing agent should work for you.
Check out the docs here:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/kubernetes/how-to/use-routing-agent/
The routing agent lets you override the default route without impacting the overall cluster connectivity. You can use this feature with a NAT gateway to make the outgoing traffic from the Kubernetes cluster originate from one static egress IP address.
Hope that this helps!
