Miciah Dashiel Butler Masters 2022-03-04 19:24:55 UTC Doc Text Cause: On most cloud platforms, the ingress operator creates LoadBalancer-type services with "externalTrafficPolicy: Local" for ingress traffic. However, OVN-Kubernetes in OpenShift 4.9 does not implement "externalTrafficPolicy: Local".

Consequence: Usually, specifying "externalTrafficPolicy: Local" has no effect. However, some users report that it can cause imbalanced traffic over router pod replicas with some external load-balancers.

Fix: The ingress operator was changed to specify "externalTrafficPolicy: Cluster" when the cluster uses OVN-Kubernetes.

Result: Traffic should now be properly balanced across router pod replicas.
