Kubernetes Service Types & MetalLB Load Balancing 🌐

Feeling lost in the labyrinth of Kubernetes networking? Never fear! This video is your guide to understanding services, exploring different service types, and exposing your applications to the external world.

We'll dive deep using a real-world example: a three-node, bare metal Kubernetes cluster configured in dual-stack mode. To conquer load balancing, we'll unveil the power of MetalLB in Layer2.

Here's what you'll learn:

-The fundamentals of Kubernetes services
- Demystifying different service types
- Exposing your application outside the cluster
- Unveiling the magic of MetalLB for load balancing (Layer2 mode)
- Setting up and configuring MetalLB
- Exploring the features MetalLB offers
- New to Kubernetes? No problem! We'll break down the concepts in an easy-to-understand way.
