> Cilium is the superpower of Kubernetes networking, with so many convenient functionalities. In the upcoming release, version 1.13, Cilium will include a functionality called LoadBalancer IP Address Management - LB IPAM This functionality will make it possible to get rid of MetalLB by pairing it with the already existing functionality of Cilium BGP Control Plane.
This would be a step backward for most home lab setups. MetalLB already implements BGP and has done so for a decade. Why would I want to install a network overlay just for that? Now I have to deal with a network overlay.
Of course, if you already need such an overlay because you're doing this for work, this could make sense.
