ExternalDNS
Configure external DNS servers (AWS Route53, Google CloudDNS and other
ExternalDNS synchronizes exposed Kubernetes Services and Ingresses with DNS providers. Inspired by Kubernetes DNS, Kubernetes' cluster-internal DNS server, ExternalDNS makes Kubernetes resources discoverable via public DNS servers. Like KubeDNS, it retrieves a list of resources (Services, Ingresses, etc.) from the Kubernetes API to determine the desired list of DNS records. Unlike KubeDNS, however, it's not a DNS server itself, but merely configures other DNS providers accordingly, e.g. AWS Route 53 or Google Cloud DNS. In a broader sense, ExternalDNS allows you to control DNS records dynamically via Kubernetes resources in a DNS provider-agnostic way. ExternalDNS' allows you to keep selected zones (via domain-filter) synchronized with Ingresses and Services of type=LoadBalancer in various cloud providers. ExternalDNS can become aware of the records it is managing therefore ExternalDNS can safely manage non-empty hosted zones. -

Fabio
Consul Load-Balancing made simple
Fabio is an HTTP and TCP reverse proxy that configures itself with data from Consul. Traditional load balancers and reverse proxies need to be configured with a config file. The configuration contains the hostnames and paths the proxy is forwarding to upstream services. This process can be automated with tools like consul-template that generate config files and trigger a reload. Fabio works differently since it updates its routing table directly from the data stored in Consul as soon as there is a change and without restart or reloading. When you register a service in Consul all you need to add is a tag that announces the paths the upstream service accepts, e.g. urlprefix-/user or urlprefix-/order and fabio will do the rest. Fabio was developed and maintained by Frank Schröder through January, 2020. Since that date primary maintenance has been the responsibility of ENA and the great community of users. -

AWS Load Balancer Controller
A Kubernetes controller for Elastic Load Balancers
AWS Load Balancer Controller is a controller to help manage Elastic Load Balancers for a Kubernetes cluster. It satisfies Kubernetes Ingress resources by provisioning Application Load Balancers. It satisfies Kubernetes Service resources by provisioning Network Load Balancers. This project was formerly known as "AWS ALB Ingress Controller", we rebranded it to be "AWS Load Balancer Controller". AWS ALB Ingress Controller was originated by Ticketmaster and CoreOS as part of Ticketmaster's move to AWS and CoreOS Tectonic. Learn more about Ticketmaster's Kubernetes initiative from Justin Dean's video at Tectonic Summit. AWS ALB Ingress Controller was donated to Kubernetes SIG-AWS to allow AWS, CoreOS, Ticketmaster and other SIG-AWS contributors to officially maintain the project. The controller watches for ingress events from the API server. When it finds ingress resources that satisfy its requirements, it begins the creation of AWS resources. -

COW
HTTP proxy to automatically identify blocked sites
HTTP proxy written in Go. COW can automatically identify blocked sites and use parent proxies to access. COW's design goal is automation. Ideally, users don't need to care about which websites are inaccessible, and they can directly connect to the website without slowing down the access speed due to the use of secondary agents. As an HTTP proxy, it can be provided to mobile devices; if deployed on a domestic server, it can be used as an APN proxy. Support HTTP, SOCKS5, shadowsocks and cow itself as a secondary proxy. Multiple secondary agents can be used to support simple load balancing. Automatically detect whether the website is blocked, and only use the secondary proxy for the blocked website. Automatically generate PACs containing directly connected websites, you can bypass COW when visiting these websites. Built-in common websites that can be directly connected , such as domestic social, video, bank, e-commerce and other websites (can be added manually). -

Cilium
eBPF-based networking, security, and observability
Cilium is open-source software for providing, securing and observing network connectivity between container workloads, cloud-native, and fueled by the revolutionary Kernel technology eBPF. Kubernetes doesn't come with an implementation of Load Balancing. This is usually left as an exercise for your cloud provider or in private cloud environments an exercise for your networking team. Cilium can attract this traffic with BGP and accelerate leveraging XDP and eBPF. Together these technologies provide a very robust and secure implementation of Load Balancing. Cilium and eBPF operate at the kernel layer. With this level of context we can make intelligent decisions about how to connect different workloads whether on the same node or between clusters. With eBPF and XDP Cilium enables significant improvements in latency and performance and eliminates the need for kube-proxy entirely. -

NGINX Ingress Controller
NGINX Ingress Controller for Kubernetes
ingress-nginx is an Ingress controller for Kubernetes using NGINX as a reverse proxy and load balancer. It is built around the Kubernetes Ingress resource, using a ConfigMap to store the NGINX configuration. The goal of this Ingress controller is the assembly of a configuration file (nginx.conf). The main implication of this requirement is the need to reload NGINX after any change in the configuration file. Though it is important to note that we don't reload Nginx on changes that impact only an upstream configuration (i.e Endpoints change when you deploy your app). We use lua-nginx-module to achieve this. Check below to learn more about how it's done. Usually, a Kubernetes Controller utilizes the synchronization loop pattern to check if the desired state in the controller is updated or a change is required. To this purpose, we need to build a model using different objects from the cluster, in particular (in no special order) Ingresses, Services, Endpoints, Secrets, and Configmaps. -

OpenELB
Load Balancer Implementation for Kubernetes in Bare-Metal, Edge, etc.
OpenELB is an open-source load balancer implementation designed for exposing the LoadBalancer type of Kubernetes services in bare metal, edge, and virtualization environments. In cloud-based Kubernetes clusters, Services are usually exposed by using load balancers provided by cloud vendors. However, cloud-based load balancers are unavailable in bare-metal or on-premise environments. OpenELB allows users to create LoadBalancer Services in bare-metal, edge, and virtualization environments for external access, and provides the same user experience as cloud-based load balancers. -

automaxprocs
Automatically set GOMAXPROCS to match Linux container CPU quota
Automatically set GOMAXPROCS to match Linux container CPU quota. All APIs are finalized, and no breaking changes will be made in the 1.x series of releases. Users of semver-aware dependency management systems should pin automaxprocs to ^1. When GOMAXPROCS is increased above the CPU quota, we see P50 decrease slightly but see significant increases to P99. We also see that the total RPS handled also decreases. Data was measured from Uber's internal load balancer. We ran the load balancer with 200% CPU quota (i.e., 2 cores). -
