multitenant-controller

Multitenant controller

This controller emulates the behaviour of the ovs-multitenant pod network plugin.

Cluster users label their namespaces as follows:

metadata:
  labels:
    multitenant-pod-network/group: mygroup

Namespaces with the same group label can communicate with one another. Namespaces with group label global can access and are reachable from all namespaces.

Isolation occurs only at the namespace level. The generated NetworkPolicy objects use only a small subset of the capabilities of the NetworkPolicy specification. Avoiding the complexity of pod-level isolation and whitelisting is the main purpose of this controller.

Run within cluster

Install the controller using the helm chart (update the namespace and other values as appropriate):

$ cd chart
$ make install

Run out of cluster

$ go build
$ ./multitenant-controller -kubeconfig=${HOME}/.kube/config
