<!-- overview -->
 | 
						|
{{< feature-state for_k8s_version="v1.21" state="deprecated" >}}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This feature, specifically the alpha `topologyKeys` field, is deprecated since
 | 
						|
Kubernetes v1.21.
 | 
						|
[Topology Aware Hints](/docs/concepts/services-networking/topology-aware-hints/),
 | 
						|
introduced in Kubernetes v1.21, provide similar functionality.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
_Service Topology_ enables a {{< glossary_tooltip term_id="service">}} to route traffic based upon the Node
 | 
						|
topology of the cluster. For example, a service can specify that traffic be
 | 
						|
preferentially routed to endpoints that are on the same Node as the client, or
 | 
						|
in the same availability zone.
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
The following prerequisites are needed in order to enable topology aware service
 | 
						|
routing:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   * Kubernetes v1.17 or later
 | 
						|
   * Configure {{< glossary_tooltip text="kube-proxy" term_id="kube-proxy" >}} to run in iptables mode or IPVS mode

## Enable Service Topology
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{{< feature-state for_k8s_version="v1.21" state="deprecated" >}}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To enable service topology, enable the `ServiceTopology`
 | 
						|
[feature gate](/docs/reference/command-line-tools-reference/feature-gates/) for all Kubernetes components:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
--feature-gates="ServiceTopology=true`
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## {{% heading "whatsnext" %}}

* Read about [Topology Aware Hints](/docs/concepts/services-networking/topology-aware-hints/), the replacement for the `topologyKeys` field.
 | 
						|
* Read about [EndpointSlices](/docs/concepts/services-networking/endpoint-slices/)
 | 
						|
* Read about the [Service Topology](/docs/concepts/services-networking/service-topology/) concept
