The problem DigitalOcean Kubernetes platform is great. Its Load Balancer is well-integrated and works great, too, unless you need to expose UDP services in your cluster: UDP load balancing is not supported! So it’s not possible to load-balance DNS, HTTP/3 or any other UDP service. How are we going to solve this? DigitalOcean supports floating IPs: publicly-accessible static IP addresses that you can assign to Droplets and instantly remap between other Droplets in the same datacenter.
