what is Bitnami zookeeper? I prefer zookeeper clients connect to the servers directly instead of through an LB. With the latter, the client sees just one server. If the request from LB to the backend fails, then there isn't a fallback for the client. This is based on my experience running a zookeeper cluster some years ago. Things might have changed since then.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ZOOKEEPER/FAQ https://dev.zookeeper.apache.narkive.com/KPQWwpjQ/zookeeper-behind-load-balancer these two links throw more light. Based on these, I can say how quickly and reliably can LB take out a bad zk node.

Bitnami (a company) does a lot of Docker image packaging, they created a docker image for Zookeeper, and it is very popular. Most people who deploy Zookeeper on Kubernetes tend to use Bitnami’s Docker image.
wow, these docs are very useful. Thank you!
I also remembered that ZK clients have a lot of logic on their own to load balance amongst themselves. Thanks for helping me double check.
