OpenShift Integration #397

Open iceman91176 opened 8 years ago

iceman91176 commented 8 years ago

Not a real issue - but some questions since i could not find another way to ask them ;-) We like the Contiv Netplugin approach with Containers. It seems to be pretty straightforward, and since most of us come from a networking Background it is easier to understand than the default kubernetes/docker networkign stuff.

We are looking for a Integration in Openshift. Could that be done ? Or has it been done already ? How is support of contiv beeing handled ? Is there something like a "Commercial" Edition with Support ?

And one question regarding eBGP to external Routers. In the docs it says "Only one uplink from the server is supported" What does it mean for redundancy if the Switch dies ?

Any input will be appreciated.

@iceman91176 - thank you for your interest and reaching out. Glad to know that you find it a bit natural way of consuming the network :)

Openshift Integration is not all upstreamed - so yes being done, and coming to mainstream soon. Ping @jojimt (you can chase his PRs) or check back for an update on this issue..

At this moment we support on Slack (contiv.slack.com) if you'd like to be invited to contiv-users please let me know. We do expect to tag major/minor releases. There is one and only open source version of the software.

And one question regarding eBGP to external Routers. In the docs it says "Only one uplink from the server is supported" What does it mean for redundancy if the Switch dies ?

One uplink includes port-channel (to multiple switches aka virtual-port-channel/vpc or mLAG), i.e. only one L2 uplilnk at the moment. Multiple routed interface (i.e. l3 ECMP up to the leaf switches) seem exciting but a low priority.

We welcome you to become contributor of the project (see contributing.md). Feel free to drop me an email if you'd rather discuss becoming contributor/maintainer offline.

hi,

any news about this?

srampal commented 7 years ago

Openshift integration for contiv is getting added into the Openshift Ansible repos.

See this repo ... https://github.com/srampal/openshift-ansible

This should get merged back into openshift ansible repo very shortly (hopefully this month) since we are going through the official certification process with Red Hat right now.

Let us know if you need more details. Also please join our slack channel where we provide real time support contiv.slack.com (contiv-users channel).
