Terway CNI Network Plugin

CNI plugin for alibaba cloud VPC/ENI

English | 简体中文

Try It:

Install Kubernetes

Install Kubernetes via Kubeadm: https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/independent/create-cluster-kubeadm/

After setup kubernetes cluster. Change iptables Forward default policy to ACCEPT on every node of cluster: iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT.

Make sure cluster up and healthy by kubectl get cs.

Install Terway network plugin

Replace Network and AccessKey/AccessKeySecret in terway.yml with your cluster pod subnet and aliyun openapi credentials. Then use kubectl apply -f terway.yml to install Terway into kubernetes cluster.

Using kubectl get ds terway -n kube-system to watch plugin launching. Plugin install completed while terway daemonset available pods equal to nodes.

Terway network plugin usage:

Vpc network container:

Terway will config pod's address using node's podCidr when pod not have any especial config. eg:

[root@iZj6c86lmr8k9rk78ju0ncZ ~]# kubectl run -it --rm --image busybox busybox
If you don't see a command prompt, try pressing enter.
/ # ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue qlen 1
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
3: eth0@if7: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP,M-DOWN> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue
    link/ether 46:02:02:6b:65:1e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
/ # ip addr show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue qlen 1
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
3: eth0@if7: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP,M-DOWN> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue
    link/ether 46:02:02:6b:65:1e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 172.30.0.4/24 brd 172.30.0.255 scope global eth0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::4402:2ff:fe6b:651e/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Using ENI network interface to get the performance equivalent to the underlying network.

Config eni request aliyun/eni: 1 in one container of pod. The following example will create an Nginx Pod and assign an ENI:

Kind: Pod
metadata:
  labels:
    app: nginx
spec:
  containers:
  - name: nginx
    image: nginx
    ports:
    - containerPort: 80
    resources:
      limits:
        aliyun/eni: 1

[root@iZj6c86lmr8k9rk78ju0ncZ ~]# kubectl exec -it nginx sh
# ip addr show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN qlen 1
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UNKNOWN qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:16:3e:02:38:05 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 172.31.80.193/20 brd 172.31.95.255 scope global eth0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::216:3eff:fe02:3805/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
4: veth1@if8: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP,M-DOWN> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP
    link/ether 1e:60:c7:cb:1e:0e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet6 fe80::1c60:c7ff:fecb:1e0e/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Using network policy to limit accessible between containers.

The Terway plugin is compatible with NetworkPolicy in the standard K8S to control access between containers, for example:

1. Create and expose an deployment for test

   [root@iZbp126bomo449eksjknkeZ ~]# kubectl run nginx --image=nginx --replicas=2
   deployment "nginx" created
   [root@iZbp126bomo449eksjknkeZ ~]# kubectl expose deployment nginx --port=80
   service "nginx" exposed
   

2. Run busybox to test connection to deployment:

   [root@iZbp126bomo449eksjknkeZ ~]# kubectl run busybox --rm -ti --image=busybox /bin/sh
   If you don't see a command prompt, try pressing enter.
   / # wget --spider --timeout=1 nginx
   Connecting to nginx (172.21.0.225:80)
   / #
   

3. Config network policy，only allow pod access which have run: nginx label:

   kind: NetworkPolicy
   apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
   metadata:
     name: access-nginx
   spec:
     podSelector:
       matchLabels:
         run: nginx
     ingress:
     - from:
       - podSelector:
           matchLabels:
             access: "true"
   

4. The Pod access service without the specified label is rejected, and the container of the specified label can be accessed normally.

   [root@iZbp126bomo449eksjknkeZ ~]# kubectl run busybox --rm -ti --image=busybox /bin/sh
   If you don't see a command prompt, try pressing enter.
   / # wget --spider --timeout=1 nginx
   Connecting to nginx (172.21.0.225:80)
   wget: download timed out
   / #
   
   [root@iZbp126bomo449eksjknkeZ ~]# kubectl run busybox --rm -ti --labels="access=true" --image=busybox /bin/sh
   If you don't see a command prompt, try pressing enter.
   / # wget --spider --timeout=1 nginx
   Connecting to nginx (172.21.0.225:80)
   / #
   

Limit container in/out bandwidth

The Terway network plugin can limit the container's traffic via limit policy in pod's annotations. For example:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: nginx
  annotations:
    k8s.aliyun.com/ingress-bandwidth: 1m
    k8s.aliyun.com/egress-bandwidth: 1m
spec:
  nodeSelector:
    kubernetes.io/hostname: cn-shanghai.i-uf63p6s96kf4jfh8wpwn
  containers:
  - name: nginx
    image: nginx:1.7.9
    ports:
    - containerPort: 80
