Summary

Kubernetes’ kube-proxy is a network proxy that performs the following functions

  • It proxies and load-balances network traffic to pods running within the Kubernetes cluster.

  • It supports various network proxy modes such as IPVS and iptables, enabling more efficient management of network traffic.

  • It configures and maintains the service IP addresses of pods.

  • It configures the routing and load-balancing policies of services, ensuring that all services within the cluster function properly.

  • It logs events and monitors the status of kube-proxy itself, and can restart if necessary. These features make network management in a Kubernetes cluster much simpler.
