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. -

Eureka
AWS Service registry for resilient mid-tier load balancing
Eureka is a REST (Representational State Transfer) based service that is primarily used in the AWS cloud for locating services for the purpose of load balancing and failover of middle-tier servers. t Netflix, Eureka is used for the following purposes apart from playing a critical part in mid-tier load balancing. For aiding Netflix Asgard, an open source service which makes cloud deployments easier, in fast rollback of versions in case of problems avoiding the re-launch of 100's of instances which could take a long time. In rolling pushes, for avoiding propagation of a new version to all instances in case of problems. For our cassandra deployments to take instances out of traffic for maintenance. For our memcached caching services to identify the list of nodes in the ring. For carrying other additional application specific metadata about services for various other reasons. -

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). -

Easegress
A Cloud Native traffic orchestration system
The Easegres (formally known as Ease Gateway) helps to enlarge the availability and stability, also can improve the performance without changing a line of code. It also can smoothly support rapid business growth without re-arch the whole system. Easegress can be a typical seven-level API Gateway, it also can be a side-car to be a Service Mesh, and Easegress can perfectly work with other software to ship powerful features, such as: Kubernetes Ingress, Knaitve FaaS, and Eureka/Consul/Etcd/Nacos and so on. The Easegress can management the traffic and APIs, not only can do load balancing, canary development but also can aggregate and pipeline a number of APIs. This function automatically helps the website optimize its performance, such as: adding the cache, merging the requests, and reducing the network bandwidth. Sometimes, a site could have unexpectedly higher traffic, the Ease Gateway could help to protect the critical service for critical customers. -
