Networking Module

Networking Module implements in-cluster networking for SIGHUP Distribution (SD) via Container Network Interface (CNI) plugins.

If you are new to SD please refer to the official documentation on how to get started with SD.

Overview

Kubernetes adopts the Container Network Interface (CNI) specification for managing network resources on a cluster. Networking Module uses the CNCF projects Calico (via the Tigera Operator) and Cilium — open-source networking and network security solutions for containers, virtual machines and bare-metal workloads — to bring networking capabilities to the distribution.

Packages

The following packages are included in Networking Module:

Package	Version	Description
cilium	1.18.11	Cilium CNI plugin. For clusters with < 200 nodes.
tigera	1.40.13 (Calico 3.31.6)	Tigera Operator, a Kubernetes Operator for Calico, provides pre-configured installations for on-prem and for EKS in policy-only mode.

Usage

Networking Module is part of SIGHUP Distribution (SD) and is deployed automatically by furyctl when you create or update a KFDDistribution or OnPremises cluster. You don't need to download, vendor or install its packages manually.

Configuration

You configure the module under spec.distribution.modules.networking in your furyctl.yaml. The type field selects the CNI plugin to deploy: calico (Tigera Operator) or cilium (on KFDDistribution you can also set none when the CNI is managed outside this module). The other fields are optional and fall back to sensible defaults.

On an OnPremises cluster furyctl manages the Kubernetes phase too, so the pod CIDR is taken from the cluster's spec.kubernetes configuration and the podCidr/maskSize fields are optional:

apiVersion: kfd.sighup.io/v1alpha2
kind: OnPremises
spec:
  distribution:
    modules:
      networking:
        type: calico

On a KFDDistribution cluster (an already existing cluster, with no Kubernetes phase managed by furyctl) you set the pod CIDR explicitly when using Cilium:

apiVersion: kfd.sighup.io/v1alpha2
kind: KFDDistribution
spec:
  distribution:
    modules:
      networking:
        type: cilium
        cilium:
          podCidr: 10.0.0.0/8
          maskSize: "24"

See the configuration reference for your cluster kind for the full list of available options: KFDDistribution or OnPremises.

To install SD from scratch, follow the Getting started guide.
