LoadBalancer VIPs & ESnet Data Fabric

For raw TCP/UDP data ingestion (e.g. streaming synchrotron detector packets, network telemetry collectors), Berkelium provides hardware LoadBalancer Virtual IPs (VIPs) via MetalLB.

Example: Layer 4 LoadBalancer Service

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: detector-stream-lb
  namespace: sci-myproject
spec:
  type: LoadBalancer
  selector:
    app: detector-collector
  ports:
    - name: data-port
      port: 9000
      targetPort: 9000
      protocol: TCP

When applied, Kubernetes assigns an IP address accessible across the LBNL internal network and ESnet Science DMZ.
