  • Run a pod with static MAC address
    1 project | /r/kubernetes | 9 Jun 2023
    I have to plan the migration of our software we are running on a single node with docker-compose to K8, and i'm kinda lost in the plugins and the basic settings. One of our MS has to use static MAC address in order to run fine, bcs it's using a certificate. Is it possible to run a pod with static MAC address, or do you suggest to use multus-cni or something like this?

    I opened a PR to add support for CNI v1.0.0 to Multus (https://github.com/k8snetworkplumbingwg/multus-cni/pull/879) but it was closed in July because 4.0 was "pretty near". Of course now it's almost February and we haven't seen so much as an Alpha of 4.0 since October. Sure wish they'd get their act together.

  • Considering (and deciding against) a switch from Traefik to an Envoy-based Ingress Controller

    One thing I will note is that in the end only one process can listen at a certain endpoint (let's say 80 or 443) at the end of the day without some other complexity, AFAIK there isn't an Multus-like project for Ingress Controllers... A 2 tier setup would work but that just feels like overkill (especially for me).
