Contiv agent

Contiv agent manages vpp in order to setup container networking on a k8s node.

To start the agent run:

sudo cmd/contiv-agent/contiv-agent --grpc-port 9111

Optionally, you can add argument defining connection to etcd. If connection to etcd is defined the agent persists the configuration into it.

--etcd-config vendor/github.com/ligato/vpp-agent/docker/dev_vpp_agent/etcd.conf

Currently, the containers are connected to vswitch using vEth pairs.

Overview

Contiv-agent is an extended vpp agent. It is supposed to be deployed in a vswitch container that manages networking for a k8s node.

Contiv-agent provides a gRPC server that processes CNI request. Request are transformed into vpp configuration, applied using local client and subsequently persisted into ETCD.
