  • Kubernetes Architecture
    4 projects | dev.to | 15 Aug 2023
    The CNI is language-agnostic and there are many different plugins available.
  • Creating Kubernetes Cluster With CRI-O
    7 projects | dev.to | 30 Jul 2023
    Read more about the architecture of CRI-O here. The networking of the pod is set up through CNI, and CRI-O can be used with any CNI plugin.
  • Kubernetes traffic discovery
    3 projects | dev.to | 4 Jun 2023
    In generic Kubernetes network policies, there is no action field. The Calico CNI plugin (Kubernetes network plugin that implements the Container Network Interface) provides this functionality, and in particular provides logging even for allowed traffic. And this worked when we tried it in our test clusters and in our own back end.
  • Docker Container to get IP by external DHCP
    1 project | /r/docker | 7 Apr 2023
    There is a CNI spec: https://github.com/containernetworking/cni/blob/main/SPEC.md which allows for custom network plugins. Thats how AWS/EKS nodes are able to assign VPC routable IPs to containers running on them.

    um, they aren't missing anything (but see below). they are k8s.

    so if you want to get the genuine original mainline experience you go to the project's github repo, they have releases, and mention that the detailed changelog has links to the binaries. yeey. (https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGEL... .. the client is the kubectl binary, the server has the control plane components the node binaries have the worker node stuff), you then have the option to set those up according to the documentation (generate TLS certs, specify the IP address range for pods (containers), install dependencies like etcd, and a CNI compatible container network layer provider -- if you have setup overlay networking eg. VXLAN or geneve or something fancy with openvswitch's OVN -- then the reference CNI plugin is probably sufficient)

    at the end of this process you'll have the REST API (kube-apiserver) up and running and you can start submitting jobs (that will be persisted into etcd, eventually picked up by the scheduler control loop that calculates what should run where and persists it back to etcd, then a control loop on a particular worker will notice that something new is assigned to it, and it'll do the thing, allocate a pod, call CNI to allocate IP, etc.)

    of course if you don't want to do all this by hand you can use a distribution that helps you with setup.

    microk8s is a low-memory low-IO k8s distro by Canonical (Ubuntu folks) and they run dqlite (distributed sqlite) instead of etcd (to lower I/O and memory requirements), many people don't like it because it uses snaps

    k3s is started by Rancher folks (and mostly still developed by them?),

    there's k0s (for bare metal ... I have no idea what that means though), kind (kubernetes in docker), there's also k3d (k3s in docker)

    these distributions work by consuming/wrapping the k8s components as go libraries - https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/staging...

    ...

    then there's the whole zoo of various k8s plugins/addons/tools for networking (CNI - https://github.com/containernetworking/cni#3rd-party-plugins), storage (CSI - https://kubernetes-csi.github.io/docs/drivers.html), helm for package management, a ton of security-related things that try to spot errors in all this circus ... and so on.

  • Solving Four Kubernetes Networking Challenges

    The Container Network Interface (CNI) includes a specification for writing network plugins to configure network interfaces. This allows you to create overlay networks that satisfy Pod-to-Pod communication requirements.
