A comment on Tailscale Kubernetes Operator.

One thing that i think is really missing is redundancy on the proxies

Currently there's no way to have two proxies that listen on the same tailscale hostname/ip

Ideally in Kubernetes every pod is redundant to allow downscaling of nodes efficiently, so this means we have to eat a minute or so of downtime randomly every now and then on our tailscale endpoints

Can't you expose the services to two load balancers?

Not ideal for anything customer facing but fine enough for staff.

they would have to have two separate hostnames/ips so you wouldn't have a single redundant endpoint

I agree, it's a feature that I find sorely lacking in my tailnet.

These are the relevant Github issues to follow, hopefully they address these someday:
