Developer documentation for OpenShift SDN team
This document intends to be a quick devref and guide for new developers. It'll be a WIP covering details such as how to build, run, configure, and test features.
This mainly covers three different repos:
.. tabs ::
.. tab :: Cluster Network Operator
The Cluster Network Operator installs and upgrades the networking
components on an OpenShift Kubernetes cluster.
.. tab :: OpenShift SDN
OpenShift SDN is the default network plug-in for OpenShift. It uses Open
vSwitch (OVS) to connect pods locally and uses VXLAN tunnels to connect different nodes.
.. tab :: OVN-Kubernetes
OVN-Kubernetes is a network plug-in for Kubernetes clusters and is not
unique to OpenShift. This network plug-in provides Kubernetes integration
for Open Virtual Network (OVN). OVN provides virtual network abstraction
and uses OVS on each host to connect pods locally. Generic Network
Virtualization Encapsulation (Geneve) provides network tunneling to
connect different nodes.
