Maybe I am way off in my pursuit to create as close to real a Kubernetes setup on a local network :-)

Is it possible to use Parallels(Desktop) RAS as a Loadbalancer for Kubernetes?

1. I am running a master node in Ubuntu on Parallels Desktop 
2. And some worker nodes also in Parallels Desktop

Both using a bridge network.

It would be cool if it is possible to have a setup including a LoadBalancer.

You could use MetalLB, KubeVIP, or Keepalived-operator (with HAProxy). I played around with KubeVIP but now use MetalLB L2 in my RasberryPi based Kubernetes cluster. MetalLB BGP would be even better if you have a router that supports the protocol (such as Unifi). The following references might help further:
