The OpenShift and Kubernetes plugin
The Fabric Services System integrates with OpenShift to provide fabric-level application networks for OpenShift pods and services. The Connect integration leverages the OpenShift Multus CNI solution to support managing the fabric directly from OpenShift and make the fabric dynamically respond to the networking needs of the application.
It provides the following advantages and capabilities:
- direct integration into the network management workflow of OpenShift
- use of the common CNIs used by Enterprise applications and CNFs like IPVLAN and SR-IOV
- automatic provisioning of the fabric based on where the application pods need the connectivity
- support for advanced workflows
