GLBC is a GCE L7 load balancer controller that manages external loadbalancers configured through the Kubernetes Ingress API.

Please read the beta limitations doc to before using this controller. In summary:

• This is a work in progress.
• It relies on a beta Kubernetes resource.
• The loadbalancer controller pod is not aware of your GCE quota.

If you are running a cluster on GKE and interested in trying out alpha releases of the GLBC before they are officially released please visit the deploy/glbc/ directory.

See here for high-level concepts on Ingress in Kubernetes.

For GCP-specific documentation, please visit here (core use-cases) and here (other cool features).

Please visit the changelog for both high-level release notes and a detailed changelog.

The table below describes what version of Ingress-GCE is running on GKE. Note that these versions are simply the defaults. Users still have the power to change the version manually if they want to (see deploy/).
