Contivvpp-UI backend

Backend acts as a proxy. It exposes three endpoints:

• /api/k8s/<kubernetes-api-path> forwards requests to kubernetes API e.g.:

  curl http://localhost:32500/api/k8s/api/v1/pods
  

  will send /api/v1/pods to k8s API server and forwards the reply back to the client.
• /api/contiv/<contiv-api-path>?vswitch=<node_ip> forwards requests to a given vswitch e.g.:

  curl http://localhost:32500/api/contiv/contiv/v1/ipam?vswitch=10.20.0.10
  

  will send contiv/v1/ipam to vswitch running at IP 10.20.0.10
• /api/netctl?master=<master_ip> executes contiv-netctl command with arguments provided in request body in format of JSON array. e.g.:

  curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" localhost:32500/api/netctl?master=10.0.2.15 -d '["nodes"]'
  

  will execute command contiv-netctl nodes
