Heptio Launches Kubernetes Load Balancing Application

We might call this “software defined load balancing,” because it’s all done with ones and zeros, without any need for expensive hardware, but it can work in conjunction with existing hardware-based load balancing infrastructures. This being Heptio, the software is designed to bring load balancing to containers and container clusters, working hand-in-hand with Kubernetes, something that most hardware driven load balancing solutions aren’t designed to do.
