• Ask r/kubernetes: What are you working on this week?

  Working on integrating cilium and loxilb as a hobby k8s project. Both are eBPF based and will be interesting to see what will be the final outcome. Source: 11 months ago

• Top CNCF Projects to look out for in 2023

  Cilium is in the category of Runtime / Cloud Native Network, which means that it provides networking functionalities to containerized applications. It uses eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter), a revolutionary kernel technology, for providing, securing, and observing network connectivity between container workloads. It is getting a lot of action with 500+ contributors, making it into the top 10 of CNCF projects... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Upgrading in I.T.

  First, don't stop at CCNA go beyond, especially if you have a deep interest to specialize in networking, CCNA is not enough to become credible as a network admin.

• Self hosted kubernetes

  Hey guys, I want to share a guide I’m pretty proud of which is talking about setting up kubernetes which leverages https://kubespray.io/#/ and https://metallb.universe.tf/ so you can host this yourself most people when spinning up kubernetes opt for k3s or get stuck with all the options or unable to setup the external ips for their services so these tools will eliminate the problem.

• Trouble with RKE2 HA Setup: Part 2

  To avoid that, you can use a combination of haproxy and keepalived, an enterprise grade load balancer like the one from F5 or Citrix. Besides that you can also work with https://kube-vip.io or https://metallb.universe.tf. Source: about 1 year ago

• Kubernetes and feeling defeated

  Not sure if klipper is usable in a cluster with multiple nodes, as it binds to one port only. You may want to use MetalLB instead: https://metallb.universe.tf/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Own kubernetes cluster

  What issue do you see with the load balancer? For self hosted clusters, one can use MetalLB for example to have such single outfacing IP which will failover to another node keeping the same IP if a node dies. Source: about 1 year ago

• PaperLB: A Kubernetes Network Load Balancer Implementation

  Not to take anything away from OP but MetalLB also provides local load balancing. Source: about 1 year ago
