Topology Aware Hints
FEATURE STATE: Kubernetes v1.23 [beta] Topology Aware Hints enable topology aware routing by including suggestions for how clients should consume endpoints. This approach adds metadata to enable consumers of EndpointSlice and / or Endpoints objects, so that traffic to those network endpoints can be routed closer to where it originated.
For example, you can route traffic within a locality to reduce costs, or to improve network performance.
Motivation Kubernetes clusters are increasingly deployed in multi-zone environments.
