Telco 5G Core
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.
Requirements:
Acceptance Criteria:
- CI
- Operator
Dependencies (internal and external):
Previous Work:
- network: on premise Service load balancers #356
- Service Load Balancers for On Premise Infrastructure
- KNIECO-842
