Support for controlling the IPMode of services of type LoadBalancer (Kubernetes version 1.30 or later)
- Services: Kubernetes Engine
- Release Date: September 18, 2024
When Kubernetes Engine provisions an OCI load balancer or network load balancer for a Kubernetes service of type LoadBalancer, you can now specify how to route traffic originating from within a cluster to the load balancer's or network load balancer's IP address.
In clusters running Kubernetes version 1.30 or later, the LoadBalancerIPMode
Kubernetes feature gate is enabled, and the ipMode
field of a service of type LoadBalancer has the default value of "VIP". You can now use the oci.oraclecloud.com/ingress-ip-mode
annotation to specify whether the ipMode
field is set to "VIP" or "proxy".
For more information, see Specifying IPMode to adjust traffic routing.
