Say the Service Registry is Consul and my load balancer is a F5 BIG IP. The legacy application is not containerized. It is outside of Kubernetes. Say that I also used Consul template to create a BIG IP config file that BIG IP will read from and reload whenever the config file changes. So BIG IP knows the physical location of microservice A.
