Each kubernetes cluster in our production environment has 4000 nodes, and the whole network is interconnected by BGP, which has been running stably for more than one year. There are many problems with kube-router in the large kubernetes cluster, and we have done a lot of optimization, so I want to contribute some information to the community.I have contributed an enhanced function in the large kubernetes cluster network to Kube router, as well as several practical documents about the large kubernetes cluster network.

  1. Added the "advertise-cluster-subnet" flag parameter for optimizing the number of routes.
    I added the "advertise-cluster-subnet" flag parameter to kube-router. When you set the parameters of "-advertise-cluster-IP=true" and "-advertise-cluster-subnet=subnet" at the same time, the kubernetes node will only announce the aggregate cluster route you specified to the on-line router device.
    The advantage is that when your kubernetes cluster is large and you need to announce cluster-ip routing, using this feature can reduce the number of service routing by 90%. This greatly reduces the cost of routers and can cope with larger network concurrent traffic.

  2. Documents for optimization of large kubernetes cluster network are compiled.
    In order for your architecture to support a larger network, you need to do the following two things:
    (1) Set the parameter "--enable-ibgp=false", do not let kubernetes node directly establish BGP neighbors with each other. Let your kubernetes node only build BGP neighbors with the on-line router device.(See large-networks02 documentation).
    (2) You'd better turn on the BGP ECMP function of the kubernetes node on-line router device. The effect of this method is that when the user's access traffic enters the router device, it is first balanced to the kubernetes node of the back end through ECMP load balancing, and then to the final pod through IPVS load balancing. When devices, links and nodes in the network are down, traffic can be automatically switched to other healthy devices, links and nodes. In this way, the availability, high performance and scalability of the network are realized.(See large-networks04 documentation).
    (3) You need to set both "--advertise-cluster-IP=true" and "--advertise-cluster-subnet=subnet" parameters.Let k8s node only notify k8s service aggregate routes to the upstream routers, reducing the service routing entries of the upstream routers.(See large-networks03 documentation).
