implementing part of the Kubernetes

[kube-proxy](/docs/reference/command-line-tools-reference/kube-proxy/)
|
|
maintains network rules on nodes. These network rules allow network
|
|
communication to your Pods from network sessions inside or outside of
|
|
your cluster.
|
|
|
|
kube-proxy uses the operating system packet filtering layer if there is one
|
|
and it's available. Otherwise, kube-proxy forwards the traffic itself.
