Data Networks in Kubernetes
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
|prod-long| data network management allows you to model the L2 networks that
|
|
are attached to node data, pci-sriov and pci-passthrough interfaces.
|
|
|
|
A data network represents a Layer 2 physical or virtual network, or set of
|
|
virtual networks, used to provide the underlying network connectivity needed
|
|
to support the application networks. Multiple data networks may be configured
|
|
as required, and realized over the same or different physical networks. Access
|
|
to external networks is typically (although not necessarily) granted to
|
|
worker nodes using a data network. The extent of this connectivity, including
|
|
access to the open internet, is application dependent.
|
|
|
|
Data networks are required for |prod-os| deployments and for the base
|
|
|prod-long| if you wish to deploy container applications with SR-IOV devices.
|
|
|
|
Data networks are created by the administrator to make use of an underlying set
|
|
of resources on a physical network. The following types of data networks can be
|
|
created:
|
|
|
|
**flat**
|
|
A data network mapped entirely over the physical network.
|
|
|
|
**VLAN**
|
|
A data network implemented on a physical network using a VLAN identifier.
|
|
This allows multiple data networks over the same physical network.
|
|
|
|
**VXLAN**
|
|
.. note::
|
|
This data interface is ONLY applicable to the |prod-os| application.
|
|
|
|
A data network implemented across non-contiguous physical networks
|
|
connected by Layer 3 routers, using a VNI identifier. This allows
|
|
multiple data networks over physically separated Layer 2 networks.
|
|
|
|
.. xbooklink VXLAN Data Networks are specific to |prod-os| application and are described in detail in :ref:`VXLAN Data Networks <vxlan-data-networks>` .
|
|
See |prod-os| Configuration and Management: :ref:`VXLAN Data Networks
|
|
<vxlan-data-networks>`
|
|
|
|
There are no specific requirements for network services to be available on the
|
|
data network. However, you must ensure that all network services required by
|
|
the guests running on the worker nodes are available. For configuration
|
|
purposes, the worker nodes themselves are entirely served by the services
|
|
provided by the controller nodes over the internal management and cluster-host
|
|
networks. |
