Moving from External Load Balancer to Cloud-Native Architecture
The Challenge
In on-premise Kubernetes deployments, achieving high availability for ingress traffic often relies on external load balancers running on dedicated VMs. While functional, this approach creates single points of failure, adds operational complexity, and wastes valuable infrastructure resources.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through migrating from an external Envoy load balancer to a fully integrated, Kubernetes-native solution using DaemonSet deployments, Keepalived for VIP management, and host networking for optimal performance.
