Add loadbalancerIP and annotation to submariner LB service

[jbperrin88]

Hi there,

I would like to know if it'll be possible to add custom parameter for the loadBalancing service inside 'kind: Submariner'

We have no external Loadbalancing in our openshift cluster but we use MetalLB.
It would be really usedfull to set MetalLB annotation and loadbalancerIP inside submariner service

Best regards

Hello @jbperrin88,

Can you elaborate it a bit, so that we know the use-case better?
Like what kind of annotation you are looking at and why is it necessary etc.

[jbperrin88]

When you use MetalLB , you need to define IpPool and set inside your service definition some custom information:

• type : LoadBalancer
• loadBalancerIp: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX or annotation 'metallb.universe.tf/loadBalancerIPs: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX'
• custom annotation like:
  'metallb.universe.tf/address-pool: poolName '

https://metallb.universe.tf/usage/example/

Inside submariner , you can already set 'type : LoadBalancer' when you force loadbalancer mode true.

I was trying to use it, by changing paramter inside the service defined by submariner but it'll be cound be override at anytime because i was using Operator install. (OLM)

If i instal only with SUBCTL , I may customize the service like i want.

Regards

What resource are you labeling?

Talking about this on the PR scrub, it seems this will require changes across the operator and main repos (at least). It would be good if we can make an enhancement proposal to figure out the changes, scope, before starting. @jbperrin88

This relates to if we want to use LB for bare metal deployments. Note also submariner-io/shipyard#1622.
