What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps operators configure and troubleshoot MetalLB on bare-metal K3s clusters when they need reliable service exposure without cloud load balancers.
Core Features & Use Cases
- L2 Load Balancing: Define how MetalLB announces service IPs on the local network.
- IP Pool Management: Assign and maintain static load balancer address ranges for cluster services.
- Migration Guidance: Use the built-in mapping to move from MetalLB annotations to Cilium LB-IPAM and L2 announcements.
- Use Case: If a homelab service stops responding on its external IP, use this Skill to verify the pool, advertisement, and annotation settings, then apply the replacement Cilium configuration when needed.
Quick Start
Ask for the current MetalLB-to-Cilium migration guidance for this cluster and check which service annotations need to be updated.
