Topology-Aware Service Routing for Kubernetes is Coming Soon!

on YouTube ↗31m

" summary

Kubernetes adds a feature that returns only same-zone endpoints so services avoid charged cross-zone traffic, implemented as an API + controller that watches nodes and filters service IP lists by topology domain. Kube-proxy/DNS return is limited to matching backends (alpha shows only label-based matching, not arbitrary attributes). Prototype uses node heartbeats (~10 minute update) and IP-list projection; current alpha has compatibility gaps and known scaling/watch-frequency tradeoffs. topology-aware service routing DNS IP list filtering
