Network APIs

ClusterNetwork describes the cluster network. There is normally only one object of this type, named "default", which is created by the SDN network plugin based on the master configuration when the cluster is brought up for the first time.

CloudPrivateIPConfig performs an assignment of a private IP address to the primary NIC associated with cloud VMs. This is done by specifying the IP and Kubernetes node which the IP should be assigned to. This CRD is intended to be used by the network plugin which manages the cluster network. The spec side represents the desired state requested by the network plugin, and the status side represents the current state that this CRD’s controller has executed. No users will have permission to modify it, and if a cluster-admin decides to edit it for some reason, their changes will be overwritten the next time the network plugin reconciles the object. Note: the CR’s name must specify the requested private IP address (can be IPv4 or IPv6).

Endpoints is a collection of endpoints that implement the actual service. Example: Name: "mysvc", Subsets: [ { Addresses: [{"ip": "10.10.1.1"}, {"ip": "10.10.2.2"}], Ports: [{"name": "a", "port": 8675}, {"name": "b", "port": 309}] }, { Addresses: [{"ip": "10.10.3.3"}], Ports: [{"name": "a", "port": 93}, {"name": "b", "port": 76}] }, ]

EndpointSlice represents a subset of the endpoints that implement a service. For a given service there may be multiple EndpointSlice objects, selected by labels, which must be joined to produce the full set of endpoints.

EgressNetworkPolicy describes the current egress network policy for a Namespace. When using the 'redhat/openshift-ovs-multitenant' network plugin, traffic from a pod to an IP address outside the cluster will be checked against each EgressNetworkPolicyRule in the pod’s namespace’s EgressNetworkPolicy, in order. If no rule matches (or no EgressNetworkPolicy is present) then the traffic will be allowed by default.

Egressrouter is a feature allowing the user to define an egress router that acts as a bridge between pods and external systems. The egress router runs a service that redirects egress traffic originating from a pod or a group of pods to a remote external system or multiple destinations as per configuration. It is consumed by the cluster-network-operator. More specifically, given an Egressrouter CR with <name>, the CNO will create and manage: - A service called <name> - An egress pod called <name> - A NAD called <name> Compatibility level 1: Stable within a major release for a minimum of 12 months or 3 minor releases (whichever is longer). Egressrouter is a single egressrouter pod configuration object.

HostSubnet describes the container subnet network on a node. The HostSubnet object must have the same name as the Node object it corresponds to.

Ingress is a collection of rules that allow inbound connections to reach the endpoints defined by a backend. An Ingress can be configured to give services externally-reachable urls, load balance traffic, terminate SSL, offer name based virtual hosting etc.

IngressClass represents the class of the Ingress, referenced by the Ingress Spec. The ingressclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class annotation can be used to indicate that an IngressClass should be considered default. When a single IngressClass resource has this annotation set to true, new Ingress resources without a class specified will be assigned this default class.

IPPool is the Schema for Whereabouts for IP address allocation

NetNamespace describes a single isolated network. When using the redhat/openshift-ovs-multitenant plugin, every Namespace will have a corresponding NetNamespace object with the same name. (When using redhat/openshift-ovs-subnet, NetNamespaces are not used.)

NetworkAttachmentDefinition is a CRD schema specified by the Network Plumbing Working Group to express the intent for attaching pods to one or more logical or physical networks. More information available at: https://github.com/k8snetworkplumbingwg/multi-net-spec

NetworkPolicy describes what network traffic is allowed for a set of Pods

OverlappingRangeIPReservation is the Schema for the OverlappingRangeIPReservations API

PodNetworkConnectivityCheck Compatibility level 4: No compatibility is provided, the API can change at any point for any reason. These capabilities should not be used by applications needing long term support.

A route allows developers to expose services through an HTTP(S) aware load balancing and proxy layer via a public DNS entry. The route may further specify TLS options and a certificate, or specify a public CNAME that the router should also accept for HTTP and HTTPS traffic. An administrator typically configures their router to be visible outside the cluster firewall, and may also add additional security, caching, or traffic controls on the service content. routers usually talk directly to the service endpoints.

Once a route is created, the host field may not be changed. Generally, routers use the oldest route with a given host when resolving conflicts.

routers are subject to additional customization and may support additional controls via the annotations field.

Because administrators may configure multiple routers, the route status field is used to return information to clients about the names and states of the route under each router. If a client chooses a duplicate name, for instance, the route status conditions are used to indicate the route cannot be chosen.

To enable HTTP/2 ALPN on a route it requires a custom (non-wildcard) certificate. This prevents connection coalescing by clients, notably web browsers. We do not support HTTP/2 ALPN on routes that use the default certificate because of the risk of connection re-use/coalescing. routes that do not have their own custom certificate will not be HTTP/2 ALPN-enabled on either the frontend or the backend.

Compatibility level 1: Stable within a major release for a minimum of 12 months or 3 minor releases (whichever is longer).

Service is a named abstraction of software service (for example, mysql) consisting of local port (for example 3306) that the proxy listens on, and the selector that determines which pods will answer requests sent through the proxy.
