# Deploy MetalLB into Kubespray/Kubernetes
```
MetalLB hooks into your Kubernetes cluster, and provides a network load-balancer implementation. In short, it allows you to create Kubernetes services of type “LoadBalancer” in clusters that don’t run on a cloud provider, and thus cannot simply hook into paid products to provide load-balancers.

This playbook aims to automate [this](https://metallb.universe.tf/concepts/layer2/). It deploys MetalLB into kubernetes and sets up a layer 2 loadbalancer.

at least for suiting your network environment.
