# A simple Kubernetes load balancer Configures nginx to forward connections to your node IPs. Services should be declared as NodePort, which means that they open a port on all nodes. When the request lands on any node, it is forwarded to the correct pod via the network mesh kubernetes is using. In theory, there is one a hop penalty. But lets be honest. You're running with a single LB, probably a GCE free tier N1 VM. That extra hop doesn't matter. ## Config Configure nginx to do what you want, test it. Use any Node IP for your testing. This tool accepts an argument (rewrite_string) which will be replaced using these rules: 1. For each line that contains rewrite string: 2. Copy the line once per node IP, replacing the string with host IPs
