@ -33,15 +33,20 @@ proxy. Kargo includes support for an nginx-based proxy that resides on each
non-master Kubernetes node. This is referred to as localhost loadbalancing. It
is less efficient than a dedicated load balancer because it creates extra
health checks on the Kubernetes apiserver, but is more practical for scenarios
where an external LB or virtual IP management is inconvenient.
This option is configured by the variable `loadbalancer_apiserver_localhost`.
you will need to configure your own loadbalancer to achieve HA. Note that
deploying a loadbalancer is up to a user and is not covered by ansible roles
in Kargo. By default, it only configures a non-HA endpoint, which points to
the `access_ip` or IP address of the first server node in the `kube-master`
group. It can also configure clients to use endpoints for a given loadbalancer
type. The following diagram shows how traffic to the apiserver is directed.
where an external LB or virtual IP management is inconvenient. This option is
configured by the variable `loadbalancer_apiserver_localhost`. You may also
define the port the local internal loadbalancer users by changing,
`nginx_kube_apiserver_port`. This defaults to the value of `kube_apiserver_port`.
It is also import to note that Kargo will only configure kubelet and kube-proxy
on non-master nodes to use the local internal loadbalancer.
If you choose to NOT use the local internal loadbalancer, you will need to configure
