BIRD for PureLB

PureLB is a load-balancer orchestrator for Kubernetes clusters. It uses standard Linux networking and routing protocols, and works with the operating system to announce service addresses.

This is a simple packaging of the open source routing software BIRD Version 2.0 (currently 2.0.9).

The included sample configuration bird-cm.yml imports the routing table entries created when PureLB adds allocated load-balancer addresses to kube-lb0.

Documentation
