F5 Kubernetes Container Integration

Two problems, finding docs to setup f5 kube-proxy. The doc is missing from this link - http://clouddocs.f5.com/products/asp/v1.0/tbd but I havn't gotten far enough to be able to test communication. ...

Hmmm yeah the problem is the way rancher deploys kube-proxy. It deploys all of kubernetes as basically a docker-compose file and runs everything from containers.

This is how the Rancher kube-proxy is started.

proxy:
  privileged: true
  image: rancher/k8s:v1.5.4-rancher1-4
  network_mode: host
  command:
  - kube-proxy
  - --master=http://kubernetes.kubernetes.rancher.internal
  - --v=2
  - --healthz-bind-address=0.0.0.0
  labels:
    io.rancher.container.dns: 'true'
    io.rancher.scheduler.global: 'true'

So adding a volume to the host won't do any good because 

/etc/kubernetes/kubelet.conf
doesnt exist. That is running from another container.

I might need to contact Rancher to see how this could be done.
