BYOK API proxy terminating konn-agent mTLS and forwarding to kube-apiserver License: Apache License 2.0

Overview

lepton-cluster-api-proxy is a sidecar that terminates mutual TLS from the Konnectivity agent and forwards requests to the customer cluster's Kubernetes API server.

It is one of three images that make up the DGX Cloud Lepton BYOK ("Bring Your Own Kubernetes") cluster agent, alongside lepton-cluster-bootstrap and lepton-konnectivity-agent.

How it fits

BYOK lets you attach a Kubernetes cluster you already own to DGX Cloud Lepton, so Lepton can schedule and manage GPU workloads on it. Lepton never requires inbound network access to your cluster's API server: the cluster agent dials out and maintains the connection from your side.

ImageRole
lepton-cluster-bootstrapOne-shot Job. Registers the cluster and installs enrollment artifacts.
lepton-cluster-api-proxySidecar. Terminates agent mTLS and forwards to the Kubernetes API server.
lepton-konnectivity-agentOutbound tunnel endpoint for Kubernetes API traffic.

Usage

This image is not run directly. It is deployed by the DGX Cloud Lepton cluster agent Helm chart, which is provided when you enroll a cluster. All credentials, certificates, and tokens are supplied at runtime; none are baked into the image.
