      Goal: Support load balancing of cluster services on bare metal and other on-premises infrastructure environments by integrating with MetalLB. 

      Non-Goals:

      • Replacing the built-in API load balancer solution that uses keepalived/haproxy and is included with on-prem IPI installs for bare metal, vsphere, openstack

      Why is this important: OpenShift customers want to load balance their cluster services using a Red Hat supported, integrated capability that is part of the installer.  Public Cloud provider installations take advantage of native LB services, but this does not exist for on-premises infrastructure such as bare metal and vSphere deployments.
