kube vip

We have hosted the application kube vip in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about kube vip:

kube-vip provides Kubernetes clusters with a virtual IP and load balancer for both the control plane (for building a highly-available cluster) and Kubernetes Services of type LoadBalancer without relying on any external hardware or software. ARP is a layer 2 protocol that is used to inform the network of the location of a new address. When a new IP address is configured to a device, there needs to be a mechanism to inform the network of which piece of hardware is hosting this new address. ARP is the technology that is used to ensure that a network understands the link between the hardware address (MAC) and the logical address (IP).

Features:

• VIP addresses can be both IPv4 or IPv6
• Control Plane with ARP (Layer 2) or BGP (Layer 3)
• Control Plane using either leader election or raft
• Service LoadBalancer using leader election for ARP (Layer 2)
• Service LoadBalancer address exposure to gateway via UPNP
• Alternative HA Options
• Documentation available

Programming Language: Go.
