Support for the Kubernetes ServiceNodeExclusion feature gate
- Services: Kubernetes Engine
- Release Date: December 17, 2020
Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes now automatically enables the ServiceNodeExclusion feature gate on the clusters it creates.
With the ServiceNodeExclusion feature gate enabled on a cluster, you can add the node.kubernetes.io/exclude-from-external-load-balancers
label to particular worker nodes to exclude them from the list of backend servers in an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure load balancer backend set. The fewer worker nodes included in a backend set, the faster the load balancer can be updated.
For more information see node.kubernetes.io/exclude-from-external-load-balancers.
