A Cloud-Like On-Prem Load Balancer for Kubernetes?

Thanks for bringing this up.

Metallb is a good product for small use cases. When you consider production, something scalable to 10s 100s or 1000s of nodes then:

auto-add: Every time you add/remove k8s node, you need to tweak your BGP configs to add/remove BGP neighbor (both on Metallb and your router/switch)

ip-address-sharing: MetalLB can share Ip address only when backends are the same, it isn't pure IP address sharing

What do you think?
