Know Your Real Clients: Use PROXY Protocol on Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud
IBM News, Wednesday, June 14,2023
As of 14 June 2023, PROXY protocol is supported for Ingress Controllers in Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud clusters hosted on VPC infrastructure.
Modern software architectures often include multiple layers of proxies and load balancers. Preserving the IP address of the original client through these layers is challenging, but might be required for your use cases. A potential solution for the problem is to use PROXY Protocol.
Starting with Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud version 4.13, PROXY protocol is now supported for Ingress Controllers in clusters hosted on VPC infrastructure.
