Proof of concept for a Kubernetes aware external load balancer. Uses HAproxy under the hood for the actual load balancing.

The idea is to have an haproxy that self configures when a Kubernetes pod goes online/offline.

For now it just prints a bunch of debug info when a Kubernetes pod goes online/offline.

• gb build tool

Run make to install dependencies and build the project.

make

kuproxy depends on a Kubernetes cluster.

For now you can use this Kubernetes example cluster.

Find out where the Kubernetes master is running.

vagrant ssh master
kubectl cluster-info

Then start the load balancer with.

kuproxy --master="http://<kubernetes.master.ip>:2379"

Check everything is running by launching a Kubernetes pod. For example:

vagrant ssh master
kubectl run-container nginx --image=nginx --replicas=2 --port=80

Stop the pod with.

vagrant ssh master
kubectl stop rc nginx
