Configuring Load Balancing

You can configure
NSX
 load balancer integration with NCP for Kubernetes LoadBalancer services and Ingress resources.
Configuring a Kubernetes service of type LoadBalancer will create a layer 4 load balancer, and configuring a Kubernetes Ingress resource will create a layer 7 load balancer.
To configure load balancing, in the nsx-ncp-config ConfigMap:
  1. Set
    use_native_loadbalancer
     =
    True
    .
  2. (Optional) Set
    pool_algorithm
     to
    ROUND_ROBIN
     or
    LEAST_CONNECTION/IP_HASH
    . The default is
    ROUND_ROBIN
    .
  3. (Optional) Set
    service_size
     =
    SMALL
    ,
    MEDIUM
    , or
    LARGE
    . The default is
    SMALL
    . In policy mode, set this value to match the pool allocation size of the tier-1 gateway.
The
LEAST_CONNECTION/IP_HASH
 algorithm means that traffic from the same source IP address will be sent to the same backend pod.
For details about what
NSX
 load balancers of different sizes support, see the .
After the load balancer is created, the load balancer size cannot be changed by updating the configuration file. It can be changed through the
NSX Manager
 UI or API.
You can configure an IPSet which will be populated with the IPs of all the virtual servers by NCP. To enable this feature, set the option
lb_vs_ip_set
 in the nsx-ncp-config ConfigMap to be the name or UUID of an IPSet. The IPSet can be shared by multiple clusters. The IPs must be unique across all clusters. NCP will manage the allocation of the IPs.
