This change addresses a long-standing issue in rST documentation imported from XML. That import process added backslash escapes in front of various characters. The three most common being '(', ')', and '_'. These instances are removed. Signed-off-by: Ron Stone <ronald.stone@windriver.com> Change-Id: Id43a9337ffcd505ccbdf072d7b29afdb5d2c997e

Cluster Host Network
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
The cluster host network provides the physical network required for Kubernetes
|
|
management and control, as well as private container networking.
|
|
|
|
Kubernetes uses logical networks for communication between containers, pods,
|
|
services, and external sites. These networks are implemented over the cluster
|
|
host network using the |CNI| service, Calico, in |prod|.
|
|
|
|
All nodes in the cluster must be attached to the cluster host network. This
|
|
network shares an interface with the management network. A container workload's
|
|
external connectivity is either through the |OAM| port or through other
|
|
configured ports on both the controller and worker nodes, depending on
|
|
containerized workload requirements. Container network endpoints will be
|
|
exposed externally with **NodePort** Kubernetes services. This exposes selected
|
|
application containers network ports on *all* interfaces of both controller
|
|
nodes and *all* worker nodes, on either the |OAM| interface or other configured
|
|
interfaces for external connectivity on all nodes. This is typically done
|
|
either directly to the application containers service or through an ingress
|
|
controller service to reduce external port usage. HA would be achieved through
|
|
either an external HA load balancer across two or more controller and/or worker
|
|
nodes, or simply using multiple records (two or more destination controller
|
|
and/or worker node IPs) for the application's external DNS entry.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, the cluster host network can be deployed as an external network
|
|
and provides the container workload's external connectivity as well. Container
|
|
network endpoints will be exposed externally with **NodePort** Kubernetes
|
|
services. This exposes selected Application Containers network ports on *all*
|
|
interfaces (e.g. external cluster host interfaces) of both controller nodes
|
|
and *all* worker nodes. This would typically be done either directly to the
|
|
Application Containers service or through an ingress controller service to
|
|
reduce external port usage. HA would be achieved through either an external HA
|
|
load balancer across two or more controller and/or worker nodes, or simply
|
|
using multiple records (2 or more destination controller and/or worker node
|
|
IPs) for the Application's external DNS Entry.
|
|
|
|
If using an external cluster host network, container network endpoints could be
|
|
exposed through |BGP| within the Calico |CNI| service. Calico |BGP|
|
|
configuration could be modified to advertise selected Application Container
|
|
services or the ingress controller service to a |BGP| Peer, specifying the
|
|
available next hop controller and/or worker nodes' cluster host IP Addresses.
