Support for enabling the proxy protocol feature with load balancers and network load balancers provisioned by Kubernetes Engine
- Services: Kubernetes Engine
- Release Date: October 22, 2024
When Kubernetes Engine provisions an OCI load balancer or network load balancer for a Kubernetes service of type LoadBalancer, you can now specify whether to enable the proxy protocol feature with TCP-based listeners.
Enabling proxy protocol allows transport connection information such as a client's IP address to be securely transported across multiple layers of proxies to the backend server.
Load balancers provisioned by Kubernetes Engine support proxy protocol version 1 and version 2. Network load balancers provisioned by Kubernetes Engine support proxy protocol version 2.
