About Klipper Service Load Balancer

Klipper Load Balancer is a service load balancer implementation for K3s, the lightweight Kubernetes distribution by Rancher. It enables services of type LoadBalancer to work in K3s clusters without requiring an external cloud provider by binding to host ports on the cluster nodes. This makes it straightforward to expose services externally in on-premises or edge environments where cloud load balancers are not available.
