F5 as Ingress Controller for Kubernetes

Hi,

I've tested the Container Connector solution for Kubernetes and it works well. I followed the setup guides on https://clouddocs.f5.com/containers/v2/ using a native Kubernetes setup in AWS.

One thing to note is that if you do this on AWS you need to tag the BIG-IP with the following key value pair:

KubernetesCluster  

If you don't then the Flannel VXLAN config won't work (the flannel pod seems to query AWS for the metadata of the node you set up to represent the BIG-IP, and can't find it if it's not tagged) and the BIG-IP won't be able to talk to the nodes over the VXLAN.

Hope this helps.

Robert
