# PorterLB: Load Balancer Implementation for Bare Metal
# OpenELB: Load Balancer Implementation for Bare Metal

![logo](doc/img/porter-logo.png)
OpenELB is an open-source load balancer implementation designed for exposing the LoadBlancer type of Kubernetes services in bare metal, edge, and virtualization environments.
## Why OpenELB

PorterLB is an open-source load balancer implementation designed for bare-metal Kubernetes clusters.

## Why PorterLB

In cloud-based Kubernetes clusters, Services are usually exposed by using load balancers provided by cloud vendors. However, cloud-based load balancers are unavailable in bare-metal environments. PorterLB allows users to create **LoadBalancer Services** in bare-metal environments for external access, and provides the same user experience as cloud-based load balancers.
In cloud-based Kubernetes clusters, Services are usually exposed by using load balancers provided by cloud vendors. However, cloud-based load balancers are unavailable in bare-metal or on-premise environments. OpenELB allows users to create **LoadBalancer Services** in bare-metal, egde, and virtualization environments for external access, and provides the same user experience as cloud-based load balancers.

## Core Features

- Load balancing in BGP mode and Layer 2 mode
- ECMP routing and load balancing
- IP address pool management
- BGP configuration using CRDs
- Installation using Helm and KubeSphere
- Installation using Helm Chart
