Summary
It has been more than half a year since our last official kube-router release, so I think we're more than past time to do so. Additionally, there have been quite a few items that have been fixed or upgraded.
Highlights & Changed Functionality
- The Network Services Controller (enabled via
--run-service-proxy) now fetches metrics when the metrics URL is hit rather than on the sync period (--ipvs-sync-period). This allows for more fine-grained and up-to-date metrics on IPVS services. (Thanks @rkojedzinszky!) - Service's
externalIPandLoadBalancerIPare now labels on IPVS metrics which can increase cardinality, but also provides better visibility for services. Prior to this, only theClusterIPorNodePortlabels were added to metrics. - The GoBGP port can be changed or disabled via
--gpbgp-admin-portto create more secure / flexible deployments of kube-router - We converted a lot of exec's out to
iproute2intonetlinklibrary calls, making the code more idiomatic, faster, and less fragile to userspace tooling changes - When both DSR and Maglev is enabled on a service kube-router will automatically enable the kernel option
sloppy_tcpfor IPVS which allows for greater service routing consistency when transitioning nodes (Thanks @AnupamGhosh!) - All references to Endpoints has been removed since the API is now fully deprecated and EndpointSlices is now used behind the scenes
Fixed Issues
- 1895 - IPv6 NDP NA/NS dropped when using egress network policy
- 1875 - Collect service statistics real-time
- 1888 - Resilience to TCP SYN Node Loss
- 1816 - support change the default port of GoBGP
- 1614 - Fix CLI Options - --master doesn't work without --kubeconfig
