Cloud Native Global Load Balancer for Kubernetes
Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2021 · on Friday, 2021-10-15· at 11:00· Room 502 AB + Online·
summary
Open-source k8gb provides cloud-native global load balancing for Kubernetes using an k8gb operator + GSLB CRD deployed per cluster, a CoreDNS coordinate plugin for DNS-based traffic steering, and ExternalDNS for zone delegation to Infoblox (migrating to NS1) or Route 53. Production deployment spans 122 clusters with 36 k8gb-enabled clusters and ~360 backend services, running >1 year and accepted to CNCF Sandbox. Demo shows cross-region failover (eu-west-1 ↔ af-south-1) with NLB IPs and observable failover convergence around failover TTL ≈30s.
