Thoughts on Kubernetes networking
Thoughts on Kubernetes networking
I am looming to move to Kubernetes with longhorn as the storage back end. However, I am very confused on how to expose services. Right now I have two reverse proxies to route outside traffic to the appropriate services. I am looking to recreate this in Kubernetes.
What is the easiest way to do this? I am confused about how kubernetes does networking. Is there a easy way to make a service listen on a IP that can be resolved by a reverse proxy?
Edit:
K3s has a built in system

Are you familiar with Traefik in any way? It will really pay off if you do.
In a cloud environment just use a Service or an Ingress.
In a data center or bare metal environment I would either use Traefik or install MetalLB to map service endpoints to known addresses.
Have you ever used MetalML? It seems promising
I use Cilium and Metal LB (if that's what you meant) for my job and it's pretty useful imo
