Multicloud cluster and Public/Private IP assignment

[jakoberpf]

Hello people, I am stuck on a multicloud deployment and am wondering if someone before me had the same issue.

I am deploying nodes in multiple public cloud which are not linked in their private networks, therefore the nodes need to use their public IPs for communication. Unfortunalty I did found the right way yet how to assign the public IP in the talos config, so that the "internalIP" of the nodes is the public IP and not the private IP of the respective private network. I am passing the machineconfig as user-data when I create the VMs so it would be great if I could somehow assign the internal IP for the nodes to use in the machine-config.

Is there a way to do this with Talos?

First of all, Talos natively supports KubeSpan which might be a solution to your problem already.

If you want to pick a different IP to be used as the node IP, see multihoming notes.
