A managed application's tenant-facing Services are its endpoints, and the only way to publish one externally has been the chart boolean `external`, which publishes one chart-chosen endpoint on one address from no particular pool through five different render paths. EndpointAttachment attaches one address, minted from an IPAddressClass or bound from a reserved IPAddressClaim, to one tenant-facing Service by rendering an additive LoadBalancer Service that mirrors the endpoint's selector and ports. The mechanism therefore needs no per-engine render knowledge and never touches the application's own objects, and a reserved address survives every attachment and moves between applications. The endpoint check requires both the lineage labels and the tenantresource marker: lineage alone also covers operator-internal Services. Identity is by owner reference throughout, so a Service carrying the ownership label without the reference is never adopted, and a same-name recreated application does not inherit the previous incarnation's attachments. The VM datapath modes render the cozy-proxy Service contract unchanged and are gated on a platform declaration rather than CNI detection: a proxy skips a Service delegated to a name it does not claim while the load balancer still attracts the address. Exclusivity is keyed on the backend pod in both modes because cozy-proxy's egress map holds one address per pod, and a whole-IP attachment with several ready backends keeps its address dark instead of picking one. The e2e suite is parked as disabled until the address substrate is packaged; the unit tests carry the hold/move and identity proofs. The kind lives in local.sdn.cozystack.io, the CRD-served half of the sdn family the address substrate and cozyplane share, so stock ResourceQuota counts keep working; the proposal text is being corrected from cozystack.io to match.

Cozystack
Cozystack is a free and open-source platform and framework for building clouds.
Cozystack is a CNCF Sandbox project that was originally built and sponsored by Ænix.
With Cozystack, you can transform a bunch of servers into an intelligent system with a simple REST API for spawning Kubernetes clusters, Database-as-a-Service, virtual machines, load balancers, HTTP caching services, and other services with ease.
Use Cozystack to build your own cloud or provide a cost-effective development environment.
Use-Cases
-
Using Cozystack to build a public cloud
You can use Cozystack as a backend for a public cloud -
Using Cozystack to build a private cloud
You can use Cozystack as a platform to build a private cloud powered by Infrastructure-as-Code approach -
Using Cozystack as a Kubernetes distribution
You can use Cozystack as a Kubernetes distribution for Bare Metal
