kube-vip

kube-vip provides Kubernetes clusters with a virtual IP and load balancer for both the control plane (for building a highly-available cluster) and Kubernetes Services of type LoadBalancer without relying on any external hardware or software. ARP is a layer 2 protocol that is used to inform the network of the location of a new address. When a new IP address is configured to a device, there needs to be a mechanism to inform the network of which piece of hardware is hosting this new address. ARP is the technology that is used to ensure that a network understands the link between the hardware address (MAC) and the logical address (IP).

Features

VIP addresses can be both IPv4 or IPv6
Control Plane with ARP (Layer 2) or BGP (Layer 3)
Control Plane using either leader election or raft
Service LoadBalancer using leader election for ARP (Layer 2)
Service LoadBalancer address exposure to gateway via UPNP
