Before creating an issue, make sure you've checked the following:

• You are running the latest released version of k0s
• Make sure you've searched for existing issues, both open and closed
• Make sure you've searched for PRs too, a fix might've been merged already
• You're looking at docs for the released version, "main" branch docs are usually ahead of released versions.

What happened?

The keepalived.conf provided by the CPLB causes a network loop.

In the keepalived.conf provided by the CPLB, the virtual_server section is enabled for all control planes, which is an incorrect setting.

If a SYN is received on a control plane that is a MASTER by definition of the vrrp_instance section, it will be load balanced according to the definition of the virtual_server section of the MASTER.
If the BACKUP side is selected at this time, the virtual_server will also operate on the control plane that is the BACKUP, and load balancing will occur there as well.
The next time the MASTER is selected, the persistence_timeout is in effect, so it goes to the BACKUP again, which in turn goes to the MASTER, and so on in a loop.

To solve this problem, make the configuration in the virtual_server section a separate file and load it using the include parameter. Run the script using the notify_master and notify_backup parameters in the vrrp_instance section, with the include parameter enabled only for MASTER and the include parameter for BACKUP comment out and reload keepalived.
(Recognizing that reloading keepalived will cause the notify_backup script to run again, so a check mechanism is needed to prevent a reload loop from occurring.)
