Description

Your current KubeKey version

2.0.0

Describe this feature

OpenELB is an open-source load balancer implementation designed for exposing the LoadBalancer type of Kubernetes services in on-premises environments, it can help KubeSphere users to easily resolve this issue.

My expectation:

Make OpenELB work like Cloud Controller Manager, it can automatically assign EIP to the K8s services when switching to LoadBalancer. When users choose OpenELB, it will automatically assign EIP to the K8s services/KubeSphere gateway and configure the annotations, users don't need to install and configure it manually.

See this issue for more context: https://github.com/kubesphere/kubesphere/issues/4574

Describe the solution you'd like

Develop an addon for OpenELB in KubeKey

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the KubeKey addon mechanism by examining existing addon implementations (e.g., for KubeSphere or other components). Understand how OpenELB is deployed and configured as a load balancer. Then, design an addon that automates EIP assignment and annotation configuration for Kubernetes services and KubeSphere gateway.
