Large-scale network simulations in Kubernetes, Part 2 - Network topology orchestration | networkop

In the previous post I’ve demonstrated a special-purpose CNI plugin for network simulations inside kubernetes called meshnet. I’ve shown how relatively easy it is to build a simple 3-node topology spread across multiple kubernetes nodes. However, when it comes to real-life large-scale topology simulations, using meshnet “as is” becomes problematic due to the following reasons: Uploading topology information into etcd requires a lot of manual effort. Any customisation like startup configuration injection or exposure of internal ports is still a manual process.

Wow this is a great tool! Do you plan to also do something similar for node-to-node communications? And if not are there existing tools you are aware of that can do this?
