nodes with public IP addresses about aks-engine

[javierprovecho]

I'm interested in this feature, to support external traffic ingress into kafka clusters deployed in k8s so to not create a load balancer service for each pod.

[palmerabollo]

I'm interested as well. The use case is also exposing a Kafka cluster to the Internet.
@jackfrancis do you know if this feature is part of the roadmap? Thx.

Willing to help here. I know where in the kubernetesagentresourcesvmss.t we need to add but just need some assistence navigating how to add an if clause code.

My proposed change would look like this starting at line 75 of current file:

                "ipConfigurations": [
                  {{range $seq := loop 1 .IPAddressCount}}
                  {
                    "name": "ipconfig{{$seq}}",
                    "properties": {
                      {{if eq $seq 1}}
                      "primary": true,
                      {{end}}
                      "subnet": {
                        "id": "[variables('{{$.Name}}VnetSubnetID')]"
                      },
                      {{if .HasNodePIP}}
                      "publicipaddressconfiguration": {
                            "name": "{{.Name}}pub1",
                            "properties": {
                              "idleTimeoutInMinutes": 15
                            }
                    }
                  }
                  {{if lt $seq $.IPAddressCount}},{{end}}
                  {{end}}
                ]
