K8gb
A cloud-native Kubernetes operator that provides global service load balancing across geographically dispersed clusters using DNS.
What is K8gb?
K8GB is a Kubernetes operator that provides global service load balancing (GSLB) for applications running across multiple, geographically distributed Kubernetes clusters. It solves the problem of directing user traffic to the closest or most available cluster instance, ensuring high availability and regional failover capabilities using a cloud-native, DNS-based approach.
Platform engineers, SREs, and DevOps teams managing multi-cluster Kubernetes deployments across different regions or clouds who need to ensure application resilience and efficient global traffic distribution.
Developers choose K8GB because it's a fully open-source, Kubernetes-native alternative to proprietary GSLB solutions. It eliminates vendor lock-in, integrates seamlessly with existing Kubernetes tooling and health checks, and requires no dedicated management cluster or specialized network hardware.
