Configuring the load balancer

Configuring the load balancer

The load balancer can be deployed with the following configuration options:

Configuration options:

• keep-floatingip: true | false

  • Reserves the floating IP address in OpenStack.

• proxy-protocol: true | false

  • Enables or disables support for the proxy protocol.

• openstack-internal-load-balancer: true | false

  • Creates an internal load balancer in OpenStack without assigning a floating IP.

• loadBalancerIP: 10.250.0.15

  • Specifies the IP address of the load balancer.
  • If the annotation openstack-internal-load-balancer has been set, any free IP address from the node network (default 10.250.0.0/16) of the respective PSKE cluster can be used.

For an internal load balancer (openstack-internal-load-balancer: true), the private IPv4 address within the cluster network is defined here. Alternatively, a previously reserved floating IP can be used here if openstack-internal-load-balancer is set to false.
