There’s metallb that lets you announce bgp to upstream routers. Another solution would be to just announce it via daemonset on every node and setup a nodeport. Or just add every frontend node IP into DNS. Obv all highly non-standard as it depends on your specific setup

Yes, to be clear, these problems can be worked around (although many such workarounds have their own tradeoffs that must be considered in the context of the rest of your stack as well as your application requirements); I was observing that the defaults are not what I would consider to be production-ready.

I don’t think kubernetes ever promised to be a turnkey system at least outside of cloud. There are many commercial vendors though willing to fill that gap.

No one is arguing that they did.

Obviously original authors want users to use their cloud.
