egressgateway¶
Starting with 2021, we received some feedback as follows.
Assume that you have two clusters A and B. Cluster A is VMWare-based and runs mainly Database workloads, and Cluster B is a Kubernetes cluster. Some applications in Cluster B need to access the database in Cluster A, and the network administrator wants the cluster Pods to be managed through an egress gateway.
Summary¶
The gateway provides network egress capabilities for Kubernetes clusters.
Features¶
- Solve IPv4 IPv6 dual-stack connectivity
- Solve the high availability of Egress Nodes
- Allow filtering Pods Egress Policy (Destination CIDR)
- Allow filtering of egress Applications (Pods)
- Can be used in low kernel version
- Support multiple egress gateways instance
- Support namespaced egress IP
- Supports automatic detection of cluster traffic for egress gateways policies
- Support namespace default egress instances
Compatibility¶
- Calico
CRDs¶
- EgressNode
- EgressGateway
- EgressPolicy
- EgressClusterPolicy
- EgressEndpointSlice
- EgressClusterEndpointSlice
- EgressClusterInfo
