Voyager is a secure L7 and L4 ingress controller for Kubernetes built on top of HAProxy, developed by AppsCode. It provides load balancing, TLS certificate management via Let's Encrypt/cert-manager, and works across all major cloud providers and bare metal clusters.

Use cases

• expose kubernetes services over http and tcp with load balancing
• terminate tls and auto-renew let's encrypt certificates in kubernetes
• run an ingress controller on bare metal kubernetes clusters
• configure sticky sessions and path-based routing for microservices
• manage wildcard ssl certificates for kubernetes ingresses
• load balance tcp traffic (l4) in a kubernetes cluster

When to choose

• you need an HAProxy-backed ingress controller with full HAProxy option coverage
• you want integrated automatic TLS certificate provisioning and renewal
• you need both L7 HTTP and L4 TCP load balancing from one controller
• you run Kubernetes on bare metal or any cloud provider

When to avoid

• you prefer the de facto standard nginx ingress controller with broader community support
• you need an Envoy-based ingress with advanced traffic management
• you don't run Kubernetes and just need a standalone load balancer
• you want a fully managed cloud load balancer without operating a controller
