<commit_before># Bare Metal Service Load Balancers

AKA "how to set up a bank of haproxy for platforms that don't have load balancers".

## Disclaimer:
- This is a **work in progress**.
- A better way to achieve this will probably emerge once discussions on (#260, #561) converge.
- Backends are pluggable, but [Haproxy](https://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/configuration-1.5.html) is the only loadbalancer with a working implementation.
- I have never deployed haproxy to production, so contributions are welcome (see [wishlist](#wishlist) for ideas).
- For fault tolerant load balancing of ingress traffic, you need:
  1. Multiple hosts running load balancers
  2. Multiple A records for each hostname in a DNS service.

This module will not help with the latter

## Overview

### Ingress

There are 2 ways to expose a service to ingress traffic in the current kubernetes service model:

## Project Status:
THIS PROJECT IS DEPRECATED AND UNMAINTAINED.

[Ingress Catalog](https://github.com/kubernetes/ingress/blob/master/docs/catalog.md) lists a few 3rd party replacements for this project, including an HAProxy Ingress Controller.
