>"Also, more and more load balancers are bypassing node ports these days, preferring instead to route traffic directly to pods, and so it’s becoming a less effective mechanism" Could you or someone else say which LBs are currently bypassing node ports? Also how does a LB actually bypass a nodeport since a service type of Loadbalancer in Kubernetes always uses a nodeport? How exactly does an external Loadbalancer connect to a pod without first connecting to a port on the physical host?
