Workaround for GCE LB Issue

SessionAffinity

Work around GCE LB issue by setting service session affinity by adding:

"sessionAffinity": "ClientIP"

to the service spec. This will give you sticky sessions, but will get GCE external LB services again.

workaround-example.json

{
    "kind": "Service",
    "apiVersion": "v1",
    "metadata": {
        "name": "my-service"
    },
    "spec": {
        "selector": {
            "app": "MyApp"
        },
        "ports": [
            {
                "protocol": "TCP",
                "port": 80,
                "targetPort": 9376
            }
        ],
        "sessionAffinity": "ClientIP"
    }
}

Or using kubectl expose:

kubectl expose rc myapp --type=LoadBalancer --port=80 --session-affinity=ClientIP
