Kubernetes Fury Networking

Kubernetes Fury Networking implements in-cluster networking functionality for the Kubernetes Fury Distribution (KFD) via Container Network Interface (CNI) plugins.

If you are new to KFD please refer to the official documentation on how to get started with KFD.

Overview

Kubernetes has adopted the Container Network Interface (CNI) specification for managing network resources on a cluster.

Kubernetes Fury Networking makes use of CNCF recommended Project Calico, open-source networking and network security solution for containers, virtual machines, and bare-metal workloads, to bring networking features to the Kubernetes Fury Distribution.

Calico deployment consists of a daemon set running on every node (including control-plane nodes) and a controller.

Usage

Prerequisites

Tool	Version	Description
furyctl	>=0.6.0	The recommended tool to download and manage KFD modules and their packages. To learn more about furyctl read the official documentation.
kustomize	>=3.5.0	Packages are customized using kustomize. To learn how to create your customization layer with kustomize, please refer to their repository.

Deployment

⚠️ please notice that the Calico packages is for cluster with less the 50 nodes. If your cluster has more than 50 nodes, you'll need to switch to Calico + Typha or to the Tigera Operator.

1. List the packages you want to deploy and their version in a Furyfile.yml

   bases:
     - name: networking/calico
       version: "v1.10.0"

   See furyctl documentation for additional details about Furyfile.yml format.

2. Execute furyctl vendor -H to download the packages

3. Inspect the download packages under ./vendor/katalog/networking.

4. Define a kustomization.yaml that includes the ./vendor/katalog/networking directory as a resource.

   resources:
     - ./vendor/katalog/networking/calico

5. To deploy the packages to your cluster, execute:

   kustomize build . | kubectl apply -f -
