Mukul SharmaandClaude Opus 5 cdc6d9167c GKE: Contour values, exposed by LoadBalancer on the reserved IP
The homelab binds Envoy to node ports 80/443 with hostPort, because
VMware bridging over Wi-Fi never made a LoadBalancer IP reachable
(claude.md issue #6). Here it is a real cloud load balancer, and since
the nodes have no public IPs it is the single inbound path to the
cluster.

envoy.service.loadBalancerIP pins it to the address Terraform reserved,
which is what makes DNS work: every hostname here is
<name>.35.238.248.203.nip.io, so an unpinned Service would take a fresh
ephemeral address and point every hostname at nothing.

That field is deprecated upstream (Kubernetes 1.24). GKE's replacement
annotation is not a drop-in — it takes the address resource's name, and
on an external Service also requires spec.loadBalancerClass:
networking.gke.io/l4-regional-external, changing which controller
programs the load balancer. GKE still honours the field, so this is the
smaller change.

contour.ingressClass.name is pinned to "contour" because every Ingress
in this cluster names that class; the chart default derives a name from
the release instead. Envoy stays a DaemonSet, which is what makes the
chart's default externalTrafficPolicy: Local (real client IPs) correct.

devops-infra-helm-charts

This branch (main) is part of the restructuring process for the gcp-devops-admin repository, aimed at organizing helmcharts of all infrastructure tools and their corresponding value files. The purpose of this repository is to centralize and manage these resources efficiently.

Directory Structure

helm-templates

This directory is intended for caching or forking helm charts locally. If there's a need to modify or customize any helm chart, it can be done here. Otherwise, the charts will be used directly from the provider.

helm-overrides

The helm-overrides folder stores custom values files for helm charts. These files can be used to override the default values provided by the helm charts, whether they are forked or used directly from the provider.

cluster_name

Each tool within the repository may have different values based on the specific clusters. This directory is used to manage configurations and values tailored to different clusters.

manifests

The manifests directory contains manifest files that need to be applied only once. Examples include service-to-service configurations, storage classes, and any other manifest-related files necessary for the operation of the infrastructure tools.

Additional Notes

Please ensure that all changes made to this branch align with the restructuring objectives and follow the best practices for managing helm charts and infrastructure-related configurations.

For any questions or concerns, please reach out to the designated repository maintainers.
