I'm no expert, but I think this is a general limitation still in Kubernetes. I believe your options are: 1. Use helm logic to loop through an array of ports in your values.yaml https://helm.sh/docs/chart_template_guide/control_structures/. You will end up with a massive manifest, but helm takes care of rendering it. 2. Give the container host network access i.e. hostNetwork = true. Some security concerns around this one but effectively the container has direct access to the NIC and therefore all ports. 3. Use SR-IOV to give the pods a dedicated virtual function (virtual host NIC), which is similar to hostNetwork= true in terms of performance and port availability etc. Pretty complicated to set up but works nicely once you get it going.
