  • Limitations
    • Cannot share endpoints managed in a partition controlled by the K8S BIG-IP Controller with endpoints managed in another partition.
    • Kubernetes allows a service to name the individual service ports within a particular service. However, the K8S BIG-IP Controller requires the virtual server section within the configmap to refer to the port number for the service port, not the name.
    • Two virtual servers cannot point to the same servicePort. The last one specified will be the one that remains configured.
    • The BIG-IP Controller does not handle non-zero route domains. All managed partitions should use the default route domain (0).
    • Parameters other than IPAddress and Port (e.g. Connection Limit) specified in the iApp Pool Member Table apply to all members of the pool.
    • Cannot configure virtual servers with IPv6 addresses in the configmap.
    • The K8S BIG-IP Controller cannot watch more than one namespace.
