Cluster Networking
Last edited on 29 Sep 2022
Cluster networking is highly-coupled container-to-container, pod-to-pod, pod-to-service, or external-to-service communication.
Cluster networking takes advantage of parallel processing of computing devices.
Kubernetes uses third-party projects for cluster networking:
- ACI
- Antrea
- AWS VPC CNI for Kubernetes
- Azure CNI for Kubernetes
- Calico
- Cilium
- CNI-Genie from Huawei
- cni-ipvlan-vpc-k8s
- Coil
- Contiv-VPP
- Contrail / Tungsten Fabric
- DANM
- Flannel
- Hybridnet
- Jaguar
- k-vswitch
- Knitter
- Kube-OVN
- Kube-router
- L2 networks and linux bridging
- Multus (a Multi Network plugin)
- OVN4NFV-K8s-Plugin (OVN based CNI controller & plugin)
- NSX-T
- OVN (Open Virtual Networking)
- Weave Net from Weaveworks
We preconfigure cluster networking with Cilium for VPC networks.
