The Untapped Power of Services - L7 Load Balancing Without a Service Mesh - Damien Lespiau, Weaveworks (Advanced Skill Level)

At Weaveworks, we sometimes need more than the L3/L4 load balancing offered today with the Service abstraction. The Kubernetes Service & Endpoint objects have some extraordinary untapped powers: they can be used to build artisanal, high-level load balancing and session affinity schemes. This talk will go through a few examples: sharding across endpoints based on a layer 7 key, master endpoint election and demonstrate a tiny reverse proxy implementing service affinity using consistent hashing with bounded load.
