loxilb is an open source cloud-native load-balancer based on GoLang/eBPF with the goal of achieving cross-compatibility across a wide range of on-prem, public-cloud or hybrid K8s environments. Kubernetes defines many service constructs like cluster-ip, node-port, load-balancer etc for pod-to-pod, pod-to-service, and service from outside communication. All these services are provided by load balancers/proxies operating at Layer4/Layer7. Since Kubernetes's is highly modular, these services can be provided by different software modules. For example, kube-proxy is used by default to provide cluster-ip and node-port services.

Features

  • Service type load-balancer is usually provided by public cloud-provider(s) as a managed entity
  • Documentation available
  • L4/NAT stateful loadbalancer
  • High-availability support with BFD detection for hitless/maglev/cgnat clustering
  • Extensive and scalable end-point liveness probes for cloud-native environments
  • Stateful firewalling and IPSEC/Wireguard support
  • Optimized implementation for features like Conntrack, QoS etc
  • Full compatibility for ipvs (ipvs policies can be auto inherited)
