Capturing Client IPs in AWS EKS Using Proxy Protocol V2 with a Java TCP Server   https://businesscompassllc.com/capturing-client-ips-in-aws-eks-using-proxy-protocol-v2-with-a-java-tcp-server/   Capturing client IP information becomes challenging when deploying applications on AWS EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) behind a Network Load Balancer (NLB). This is especially true for TCP connections, where headers aren’t typically accessible. Proxy Protocol V2 comes to the rescue by allowing us to retrieve this client data. By implementing Proxy Protocol V2, we can capture and utilize client details such as IP addresses and ports, which are vital for monitoring, logging, and security purposes. #AWS #EKSTutorial #ProxyProtocol #NetworkLoadBalancer #Java #CloudComputing #DevOps #CloudNative

Introduction to Capturing Client Information in AWS EKS Capturing client IP information becomes challenging when deploying applications on AWS EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) behind a Network Load Balancer (NLB). This is especially true for TCP connections, where headers aren’t typically accessible. Proxy Protocol V2 comes to the rescue by allowing us to retrieve this client data. By implementing Proxy Protocol V2, we can capture and utilize client details such as IP addresses and ports, which are vital for monitoring, logging, and security purposes. In this guide, we’ll walk through setting up Proxy Protocol V2 with a TCP server on AWS EKS, parsing the Proxy Protocol V2 headers in Java, and implementing sample Java code for handling and parsing these headers. Prerequisites for Implementing Proxy Protocol V2 To implement Proxy Protocol V2 with AWS EKS, you will need: AWS Account with EKS Permissions – Set up an EKS cluster with appropriate permissions. Network Load Balancer (NLB) – ...
