Kubernetes network plugin based on the FD.io VPP

Contiv - VPP

Please note that the content of this repository is currently WORK IN PROGRESS.

This Kubernetes network plugin uses FD.io VPP to provide network connectivity between PODs. Currently, only Kubernetes 1.9.X versions are supported.

Quickstart

You can get started with Contiv-VPP in one of two ways:

• Use the Contiv-VPP Vagrant Installation instructions to start a simulated Kubernetes cluster with a couple of hosts running in VirtualBox VMs. This is the easiest way to bring up a cluster for exploring the capabilities and features of Contiv-VPP.

• Use the Contiv-specific kubeadm install instructions to manually install Kubernetes with Contiv-VPP networking on one or more bare-metal or VM hosts.

Contributing

Contributions to VPP-Agent are welcome. We use the standard pull request model. You can either pick an open issue and assign it to yourself or open a new issue and discuss your feature.

In any case, before submitting your pull request please check the Coding style and cover the newly added code with tests and documentation (Contiv-VPP adopted the coding style used in the Ligato project). Upon submission, each patch is run through the go fmt and golint tools.

The tool used for managing third-party dependencies is Dep. After adding or updating a dependency in Gopkg.toml run make install-dep to download the specified dependencies into the vendor folder. Please make sure that each dependency in the Gopkg.toml has a specific version defined (a specific commit ID or a git tag).
