Network Load Balancer

The STACKIT Network Load Balancer operates at Layer 4 to handle volatile workloads with ultra-low latency. It ensures high availability by efficiently distributing massive amounts of TCP and UDP requests across your backend instances without the overhead of packet inspection.

    We are happy to announce that newly created SKE clusters will use the STACKIT Load Balancer.

    Previously, users could create and manage load balancers within SKE using a solution known as yawol. However, to better align with industry standards and best practices, we launch our dedicated STACKIT Load Balancer service.

    As of 3 June 2024, the transition to this dedicated service will begin. New SKE clusters created after this date will automatically provision STACKIT Load Balancer for every Kubernetes service of type LoadBalancer.

    For more information, see our documentation on Load Balancer in SKE.

    Existing Public IP Address can now be used for load balancers in SKE

    Abschnitt betitelt „Existing Public IP Address can now be used for load balancers in SKE“

    You can now use existing Public IP Addresses for load balancers in STACKIT Kubernetes Engine (SKE). This feature allows you to use a static Public IP Address that persists even if the service is deleted and recreated. This is beneficial if you want to rely on a service to have a static Public IP Address, for example if you can’t use dynamic DNS.

    For more information, see our documentation on using existing Public IP Address for load balancers.
