SSH access using a Load Balancer Service

Edit online

You can attach a virtual machine through SSH by adding the MetalLB Operator to your cluster. When a Load Balancer Service is added to the cluster, MetalLB provides external access to an application over the existing network.

Required steps

Install the MetalLB Operator from the OperatorHub.
For detailed steps, see Installing the MetalLB Operator(Red Hat documentation)

Apply a IPAddressPool manifest using a YAML:

apiVersion: metallb.io/v1beta1
kind: IPAddressPool
metadata:
  name: ip-addresspool
  namespace: metallb-system
spec:
  addresses:
    - 192.0.2.100 - 192.0.2.200
  autoAssign: true
  avoidBuggyIPs: false

Apply the new YAML file by running the following command:
```
oc apply -f <yaml-filename>
```
