Annotate nodes with address pool/weighted address pools

[ChipWolf]

We'd like to be able to weight address pools by node, so if a service is bound to an endpoint on a specific node, that node's address pool is preferred as a priority.

The reason for this is with a globally distributed cluster and address pools for each region, to enable the lowest latency service we should be able to dynamically issue IP addresses closest to the origin.

Thanks

Hi @ChipWolf , adding a node selector to the AddressPool object is currently part of this proposal

Would that solve your issue? As part of that, the idea is to enable the TrafficPolicy local for L2 load balancing. With that, metallb will advertise from a node selected by the selector AND with a running backend pod.

Hi @fedepaol, the proposal you referenced does appear to match our requirements. Thank you!
